    10 rules of day trading that I am living by (for now)…

    Here are some current rules that I am working on for a successful living day trading.  I am feeling very confident about my initial stop order, which is really just based many times on the classic 1-2-3 breakout, but sometimes not.  I'm interested in a breakout of the high or low of day that is

    RIMM day-trade…waiting until 10 am trade still gives you plenty of profit

    Great example of one of my “after 10 am” breakouts of the low of the day…although I usually like a little upturn before it goes down, this one just headed down and down quick.  In real time you really need to be on this trade and figuring out your stop price and your entering your

    MRVL breakout of the daily low after 10 AM

    This is a textbook trade using my strategy of the breakouts that happen between 10 am and 10:30 almost everyday.  By the way, many times you will see similar breakouts around the 1-2 pm range.  Don't fall asleep!  A boring market will wake up in a heartbeat.  Have your stop order placed for the high

    QID breakout after 10 AM! That’s a nice-ah

    This is a great example of my day-trading style.  I see a high of day formed, then usually a little downturn, then a breakout above the high of the day after the 10 AM mark.  Works quite often.  Keep a stop loss at about 1-2% or whatever you are comfy with, and use a trailing

    FSLR goes…well, goes to the downside

    This is a crazy downturn in FSLR today.  The CEO announced his leaving and this is what happened.  I actually wanted to short it earlier in the day as I saw it set-up for a possible break of the daily low (it's on my watchlist of about 20 stocks or so) but no shares were

    Day trade breakout of GMCR

    This was a great low of day breakout on the short side of GMCR.  I don't trade anything until after 10 am, and this trade was good until end of day.  No real move back up to stop you out.  Great move!!!

    Daytrading using quick breakout moves of high and lows of days

    Hey everyone, I've been working on a new trading strategy...new to me, but I'm sure not new to anyone else.  Still, this has worked for the past 10 days that I've traded it, albeit on paper.  But, i've been placing the orders in the real time as it happens on a piece of paper and
