I rewatched this month's trades and I've got a few conclusions to offer.

1) I need to trade more. Many of my calls are spot on--in the moment I'll say "This is going to do XYZ" and it does...

I've got a pretty awful cold which is keeping me from stringing together an extended post. I wanted to quickly update on my Four Month progress.

Isn't that the same concept though as the overall breakeven stop? Trader 3 sits in a winner, adds to it at some arbitrary point (I say arbitrary because I've done this too countless times), scales...

There are a few schools of thought on moving one’s stop to breakeven after entering a trade. Many adages suggest that breakeven is a great way to manage risk, while others describe it as the worst...

I used to trade charts but I'm entirely DOM right now. I'd argue that price action is directly tied to the DOM, not the charts.
