Do Emotions Actually Help Traders

2016-05-05T13:24:14-04:00May 5, 2016|

Popular thought among traders is that emotional people aren’t suited to trade in the stock market.  But is that really true?  When I took the Myers-Briggs test to see what I would come out as, my reading was an INFP.  I – Introversion N – Intuitive F – Feelings P [...]

Profit Target Scenarios for Apple (AAPL)

2016-05-03T11:48:42-04:00May 3, 2016|

Go back to that post of mine where I said that Apple (AAPL) had the potential, post earnings, to reach the $92’s. Now fast forward to today and AAPL has reached the $92 level and now bouncing.  So where does it bounce to?  […]

Oil and Where It Goes From Here

2016-04-28T13:58:54-04:00April 28, 2016|

Let’s take a look at the weekly chart of oil and what it means moving forward.  And lets just say shorting it at this point is a high risk trade simply because it has broken through one resistance level and is challenging another right now that, once broken leaves plenty [...]

Pullback Scenarios for Oil

2016-04-25T14:15:32-04:00April 25, 2016|

Alright folks – I have been following $USO and the price of crude very closely of late.  I’m of the belief that crude is ready to drop – another 5-6% this week, and in the process, allow for those who took the short set up at recent highs, a great [...]

2016-04-19T15:51:23-04:00April 19, 2016|

There are two major trends in the Apple (AAPL) chart and none of them help their cause at all. Overhead you have a declining level of resistance that continues to reject price hard,and underneath price you have an area that price continues to be drawn to following the aforementioned rejection [...]

March Was Profitable In The Splash Zone

2016-03-31T16:36:22-04:00March 31, 2016|

Well… that was one crazy month…one crazy quarter! In fact it was the first time a quarter sold off more than 10% and finished in the green overall.  To say the least, it was a historic quarter, and highly unlikely we’ll see anything remotely close to it for the rest [...]

Cut The Emotions By Not Watching The Profits

2016-03-29T15:10:27-04:00March 29, 2016|

Any time you are trading on a roll, it is easy to start watching the dollars in the account.  For example, today, I bought into Amazon (AMZN) at $581, it is now at $594. I bought Netflix (NFLX) yesterday at $100.24 and now it is at $104. Not to mention [...]

Don’t Keep Track Of Your Trading Capital

2016-03-09T12:49:00-05:00March 9, 2016|
