    You hit a homerun with ZN. i was looking at it but next minute ( hour or 2 later) it was @6.10 immediately got in but dipped back down to Mid 5. sold. 10 minutes later a huge spike. i Shall listen to you from now on.

    Hiya Joey ,,, nice if you got some out of it ... green is green...:p:D
    difficult to say because normally at this time I don't trade any more... but ZN it still is above the VWAP while I was typing it moved ...a 6.7 woulda been a good entry now 6.30 sell ;):)
    it might still go further up like coming down ... I have to follow close to see that but you to decide but watch out
    what type of trader are you? day.short swing ecc...

    i've been trading about 2-3 months now. but very new to this type of volatility. I opened up a robinhood account with some disposable income. 1k. really just playing around with it. but, there's some serious money to be made it seems.

    I actually lost like 34$ in a couple seconds with ZN. the volatility scared me. as soon as i sold it it jumped up like 70 cents. Terrible move.

    i thought i was a day trader but seeing the swings today with ZN i'd be more inclined to be swing trader. Scalping seems very enticing atm

    She thought she had a pencil in her car but didn't and had to go to store to buy one so she comes back to leave a note but it has been awhile since she left so she knocks on door but no one answers.... She opens door and says "Helloooo".... Still no one home yet so she goes to table and leaves a "thank- you" note.... She notices that there is still one olive left in bowl along the 2 yummy green ones on the table that she wasn't go to eat but decides to take those too and rinses them off in the kitchen before she leaves.

    Hi Joey
    IMO you need a bit more experience to trade how I do it..isn't as easy as it sound and to be successful one need a lot more money ecc....
    I think a swing is the best way to start (so your money turn more then long hold that is JMO )
    I would suggest to do some virtual trading and learn from any mistakes and analyse your trades at the end of the day to improving them and must learn cut the losers and increase the winners ...... find the strategy-plan that suit you best ecc... ecc...
    yes you can still follow here (I give some good stocks during trading but doesn't mean to say they are good to everybody....all depend how each one trade

    the other day I read this passage >>>> If I try to teach you what I do, you will fail because you are not me. If you hang around me, you will observe what I do, and you may pick up some good habits. But there are a lot of things you will want to do differently. A good friend of mine, who sat next to me for several years, is now managing lots of money at another hedge fund and doing very well. But he is not the same as me. What he learned was not to become me. He became something else. He became him.’”

    I am pleased to find that because is what I keep on telling everyone..... I am suremany think I don't like to help ... the best is to help yourself
    take care

    :eek: That's a real FAT pencil for some skinny fingers BUT good idea to make sure that you do leave me a pencil b/c you took it after you left me that note about me not leaving you a note :rolleyes: AND i didn't wanna snoop around your house to try to find one SO i had to go to store to buy one b/c i didn't have one in my car :rolleyes::p:D

    And no, didn't see ABEO - was out and got home about 45 min before close but is yet another one i sold too quick - should have held overnight. Still working on timing - had a couple day trades this week that shoulda be swing trades and had one that shoulda been a long scalp rather than a day trade BUT green is green.

    Break time over so going back to do a little more stock work/study before sleep. Good night and have a good weekend.:)

    I totally get where you're coming from. There are a lot of intricacies I need to learn and experience to grow. Imma stick around and see if I can pick up some stuff from all you guys here. Seems like a nice community.

    Hi Joey
    you got the point.... work on it then but only then money (profit) will come in
    doesn't matter what many say or don't agree but IMHO if one doesn't do virtual trading (properly tho) most likely will lose his/her capital
    Trading is tough. Trading is difficult. And only very few traders are actually making money. Most traders lose money!
    (I refer-insinuate ppl-traders like ourself D.I.Y. not professionals etc..)

    do yourself an EXCEL spread shit or similar

    (date-stocks-entry time- price-exit time -price-P&L-strategy and so on + comments or do it as you like and understand it better )

    from there analyse your trades and improve the mistakes if any ... time is very important etc...

    just to give a thought; I still remember when I did and sorted mine (I work from my losses first many try to improve their profit I preferred to cut my losses ) sorting my trades by losses ... I noticed that most occurred in the afternoon I added few more filters and I realized that my best trading time was in the morning and losing in the afternoon ...easy I stop trading in the afternoon my losses where mostly cut off!!! that is why I became a first hour scalper (where most tell you never to trade in the first our!!! that is why each should trade with his/her own head....
    (watch out I talk about scalping different strategy need different time frame etc... of course at the same time it is more complicated I just simplified )

    with time and years of experiences I did found out many other important things like winning streak but losing one as well when that happen make more on the winning one and try to lose less on the other (I don't trade lol )

    not to confuse you further I better stop here.... :rolleyes:;):D but don't run learn to walk first to come out those labyrinth called losses:)
