    Sometimes a trade exit isn’t so much about a specific signal showing up, or a specific target being hit. Rather it can be a lack of either of those things. When you get to know how stocks behave, how patterns…

  2. Trades, Thursday 24th January 2019

    Yesterday I wrote a post (7 Reasons Why You Don’t Want My Daily Stock Picks) in which I mentioned that having a good list of reliable core stocks can take some of the pressure off building a decent watch list…

  3. 7 Reasons Why You Don’t Want My Daily Stock Picks

    I had another email this week (my inbox has been busy recently, probably because I’ve been posting more trades here since I restarted my blog). The gist of it was this: can I create a mailing list, exclusive to customers…

    Sometimes you get to take more or less the exact same trade on multiple stocks at the same time. Obviously this is more likely to happen with stocks that are in the same sector. A nice example of this on…

  5. Trades, Tuesday 22nd January 2019

    No trades on Monday with the holiday, so here are three for Tuesday. As is sometimes the case after a long weekend, the market was a bit slow to get going. That meant I ended up taking some trades much…

  9. Trade, Wednesday 16th January 2019

    Nothing spectacular, but there’s a good living to be made from quick simple trades like these if you stack a few up each day. Certainly possible to hit $1k+/day if you are consistent and above all, patient. Most aren’t, which…

  10. Trades, Tuesday 15th January 2019

    A couple of yesteraday’s trades. Funny old day. Trades often don’t go the way you think they will. QCOM, a staple of my core watchlist for longer than I care to remember, looked set to reverse within minutes of entering,…
