    Hello Ciao! Have you been watching HMNY recently? I've made a healthy profit (10+%) a few times on it in the past few months, and did again today. It may be worth watching pretty closely :)

    Continue to keep us updated, I've loved getting to hear about your recent trades!

    Got some WPX 9.48... holding well above 9.45.... so target 9.70 or near about..
    will decide if doing a swing or sell it before ... +/- mentally SL 9.50

    Somewhat. I'm very new to trading and have been scalping for about a week. It's a lot of fun, and this has helped me a lot!

    Yea, I lost what I made on HMNY when I got in at LEDS at 10$... My 9.80 sell trigger didn't go off and now it's sitting at 8.74 :mad:

    omg a week and so sue on scalping:eek: it took me years to get me where I am :(:D:D
    Foresaken read well the first 2 posts I tried to write down a base on scalp... you seem an intelligent person but be careful the beginner luck

    IMO LEDS bubble is over... could still be have few beats left but I wouldn't touch it under $9 ... but DD

    Yea, I've read through them both a few times. What are you looking at now? I'm looking at buying WPX if oil goes up to around $49, and I just sold my SID/BBD shares for a good ~6% gain, but got out of LEDS at $8.41. I bought into GLF a few days ago and that's doing great, totally worth looking at if you haven't yet.

    ouch .... that is what I meant.. those type of stocks IMO it needs experiences to get out .. because they come down with speed that many SL don't get triggered.... you better sell manually rather then SL (SL mentally only)
    when did you get in at $10? it when to hod $11.09..
    some advice with this fast stocks get in ..take soem $$ and get out when is still climbing so you cut bad surprised
    if you notice I sell a lot on the ask price... but to do that you have to read the L2 etc... (experiences)

    I am Italian my English isn't too good .. I mix verbs etc.... my typing even worse...
    still busy with LEDS meant I was then not anymore :(:(:D

    now I just "talk" to you ... no more trading for me ... normally I trade in the first hour only---
    then yap and keep an eye if anything interesting coming up...
    IMO if over trading many tome you give back the profit..
    .
    for WPX and many other SID + BBD look into Tiptoptrader thread he is good on swing.long hold ... i am better on minutes ;):)

    ok closing here for now.... here is nearly 8pm news time and relaxing
    good luck:)

    well how do you smuggle them in? And i did sell LEDS and in the nick of time too which leads me to this question >> how do you scalp and post at the same time b/c when i came here to post about my plays LEDS "looked" like it was heading to $11 and by the time i pulled up trading screen it was falling fast and i managed to get it sold before it went back under $10 so what's your secret?

    good for a moment I thought you got stuck... (see my PM)

    I am like an octopus when trading upload_2016-7-8_21-23-19.jpeg :D:D

    with 2 screens I put my open positions (remember I never open more then 2)
    then with my right hand on the selling button ... I type with my left hand ... that's why many time there are typing mistakes ...
    I try to post as near as possible my in/out (real time) but of course first come my trades ....
    like today with LEDS did few in/out so fast I couldn't post anyway.... ...

    lol well, i am not doing that one again b/c hard to concentrate on both and coulda/woulda sold higher had i not come here to post! was amazing how quick it dropped and then think it recovered but don't think it went back too much over $10 after i sold so am glad i caught it :)

    adding - think this is the stock that has a gap in the $13- $15 range but have to double check so will be watching it...
