These video podcasts are starting to get easier and easier. I’m not known for being a great speaker, but hopefully in time these podcasts become less painful. With that said, we are analyzing the trade in DIA from last week. It was definitely not one of my better trades, as what started out good, turned against me very quickly. Which is why I have stop-losses, and why I never deviate from them under any circumstances.
However, the lessons learned from this particular trade, was that I needed to be more aggressive in the tightening of my stop-loss. There was a very strong “evening-star” pattern that I should have used as a green light to exit my position immediately, but instead my optimism overwhelmed the inherent need to significantly tighten the stop-loss. With that said, my loss was still limited to “1R” but it could have been significantly less.
Oh, how when you feel like you are on top of your game, how Mr. Market can bring you back down to reality!
Here’s the Trade Analysis on RIMM from June 16, 2009
Welcome to Swing Trading the Stock Market Podcast!
I want you to become a better trader, and you know what? You absolutely can!
Commit these three rules to memory and to your trading:
#1: Manage the RISK ALWAYS!
#2: Keep the Losses Small
#3: Do #1 & #2 and the profits will take care of themselves.
That’s right, successful swing-trading is about managing the risk, and with Swing Trading the Stock Market podcast, I encourage you to email me (ryan@shareplanner.com) your questions, and there’s a good chance I’ll make a future podcast out of your stock market related question.
Emotional trading will destroy one’s portfolio. Aiming to hit home runs with every trade is a sure sign that the trader is overly emotional and only cares about fast money. In this podcast episode Ryan explains how chasing after stocks like MicroStrategy (MSTR) without a plan for managing the risk can ultimately ruin a trader’s attempt at being a successful swing-trader.
