The worst thing about hot streaks is that they come to an end in an instant. And, while coming to terms with any string of success is painful, it can be even more painful if you struggle against the inevitable. Of course, I’m talking about my own recent 12-day September/October winning record...

It’s a new month, and that means a new market. So far that’s been a good thing, particularly after the busy but lukewarm September I had. Case in point—four trading days into October, I’m already up 150 percent of my total profits from the previous month. While that...

Well, I’m closing out August only a few thousand dollars in the green. Though that’s better than being in the red, I would have obviously preferred more consistent momentum to help out my win rate. While lack of upward support did plague most of my losing positions, “momentum...

August continues to be a tough month for me. I’m just barely in the black for the month, and much of the challenge has been managing risk and reward in a tight market. Case in point, I started this past week by not taking a single trade, the first time this year. I just couldn’t find...

I’ve spoken at length about the technical and charting factors that I take account of when looking for trading setups. Obviously momentum is the main factor that I prioritize, along with the stock’s recent levels and float size. You can read a full reckoning of those elements in my...

Like any red streak, my losses have come as a result of a lot of in-the-moment choices. By that same token, my green days cams as...

One of the biggest and most frequent misconceptions that I hear about active trading is that you need a thesis to find success. For those less familiar with trading lingo, a thesis is clear, cause-and-effect theory as to why a stock will perform in particular way. For most new traders, their idea...

In one of my recent trading recaps from last week I mentioned the trouble some new traders have in adapting to the demands of being a full-time equities trader. Specifically, I brought up the case of a retired pharmacist who was so anxious about making a mistake or getting into a losing trade that...

If there is one thing that I like to get across to those watching my trading recaps or hot stocks videos is that there’s no single way to approach the market. I like to give people strategies and ways of thinking about the market, but every trader finds his or her own approach that...

Only halfway through July it has already proven to be an eventful month. Some dramatic ups and downs in the market have helped me pick up $35,000 so far. Now that earnings season has started to kick into high gear, I’m expecting the traditional fireworks to continue in the market all the way...
