I ask for your prayers for our family tonight. Our oldest child passed away today from complications tied to brain cancer. He was 30 years old.
I will be taking some time away from Twitter.
Please tell those around you that you love them.

Daytrading:
If you bought at $.50, and it’s at $.44, it didn’t work.
If you bought at $1.92, and it’s at $1.74, it didn’t work.
If you bought at $3.44, and it’s at $3.22, it didn’t work.
If you bought at $4.80, and it’s at $4.45, it didn’t work.
The reasons do not matter.

This is an example of what amateur traders do. I see this often.
Initial buy: $2.70
Stock drops. Doesn't respect $2.52 stop level. Holds.
Stock keeps falling.
Buys more at $2.35
Buys more at $1.80
Still holding at $1.10.
What should have been a 8.3% loss is now a massive loss.

I’m a person who went 90 months basically treading water before breaking out.
So when someone is struggling with their trading, and says they don’t know why, I don’t believe you.
When I was struggling, I knew why.
I just wasn’t ready to do what needed to be done.
Are you?

Daytrading:
You bought at .54; you cannot hold below .50
You bought at $1.90; you cannot hold below $1.75
You bought at $3.10; you cannot hold below $3.
You bought at $4.42; you cannot hold below $4.25
Quarterly levels (psyche levels) matter. Pay attention.

I went 90 months before I broke through. 7 1/2 years.
All because of ego and fomo.
But in February, 2019, the pain of trading mediocrity outweighed the pleasure of having no plan, loose rules, and weak discipline.
And then I changed…permanently.
Because I HAD TO make this work.

My playbook: daytrading rules part 2:
5.) 5-8 positions ideally, no more than 10 at one time.
6.) If swinging, reduce size.
7.) Try not to trade 9:30-9:50 a.m.
8.) On dip buy, 1-2 green candles first to confirm on 5 minute chart.
9.) Trust the chart.
10.) Trust myself-BELIEVE.

Daytrading:
Never allow a decent move higher from your entry to reverse and go red on you.
Never.

I will put a maximum of 10% of my portfolio in one position.
I will lose a maximum of 10% from my entry on that position.
If I am completely wrong, it represents only 1% of my portfolio.
This is a major reason why I am a consistent, successful trader.
Defense.

To those who think that 57 is old…

b.) I feel better than I did at 27, 37, and 47

d.) It beats the alternative.

"You don't trade enough size."
"You primarily daytrade."
"You haven't hit a triple or home run this year."

As primarily a daytrader, with the majority of my trades being between .50-$5.00, nearly every stop is:
a.) between .04 and .25 from my entry point
b.) never more than 10% from my entry point
c.) always calculated with whole numbers in mind (.25,.50,.75,.00)
Effective? Very

You bought the stock at $4.40, with a stop of $4.26
You got stopped out at $4.25, and then the stock ripped higher to $5.10

I will never be a trader who makes life changing money in one day/week. I have worked too hard to get where I am to take on that kind of unnecessary risk.
But my portfolio sits at all time highs tonight, through a trading plan resulting in 88% green days this year.
Just build it.

It takes being absolutely non-negotiable with yourself to succeed in trading over the long term.
If you bend your rules, you're done.
It took me 90 months from late 2011-early 2019 to fully understand this.
I don't want to see anyone do the same.
Not a single person.

I went 7 1/2 years trading before I made any money.
90 months of pure mediocrity.
Some years up a little. Some years down a little.
Nothing special in either direction.

As such, everything I tweet regarding trading is an attempt to offer

Last Friday, $CEI ripped higher after I sold it.
Today, nothing went higher after I sold.
This is why there is no FOMO.
Sometimes you are right. Sometimes you are wrong.
But capital preservation is the key always.

I miss tops. I miss bottoms. I make multiple mistakes daily. I miss huge runners. And I usually start each day red.
But I keep stops tight. I stay with the plan. I never go on tilt. And I find a way to stay in the game when things aren't always working.
39 straight green days.

It took me five years to settle on a set of daytrading rules that I felt could be relied upon consistently.
It then took me another two years to fully commit to using these rules 100% of the time.
That was 29 months ago. And I haven't looked back since.

My playbook: daytrading rules part 1:
1.) Defense before offense-know before taking the trade where I will exit if I'm wrong

3.) Never hold a daytrade that is down more than 10% from my basis.
4.) Volume before price.

If I buy a stock at $1.85, with a stop at $1.76, and it moves to $1.93, there is a 0% chance that I am losing money on the trade.
I will not let it go red on me.
A lesson for many to learn.

My trading is boring.
I buy dips primarily, not flashy breakouts.
I don’t go after triples and home runs.

And I play defense, defense, and then more defense.
Yes, nice and boring…right to the bank.

I know who is transparent, and who isn’t.

This is a huge part of trading, like it or not.

I have spoken before about how important life balance is to successful trading.
I know that I don't have it currently, and I'm ok with that. Our family is in pain.

And that means I will turn it up again...soon.

I often hear and see people saying that a stock “has to” bounce from its current level, or the market is “so low” a rally is imminent.

I can't even draw a stick figure, so I don't attempt to draw lines on a chart.
I use one line indicator only: 13EMA
I use one candle interval only: 5 minute

Two screens only.
And I trade in a t-shirt and shorts.

Daytrading:
I place a maximum of 10% of my portfolio in a position.

This is risk management, the staple of my playbook.

"It's not a loss until you sell" may be the worst justification by a bagholder ever.

No one ever accuses me of front loading plays, and I’m proud of this.

The number of people also doing this is minimal, and any who do have earned total respect from me.

If you're struggling as a trader, please listen to me here. Do not allow yourself to break a single trading rule that you have tomorrow. Then do it again Friday. Then do it again in May. Drill it into your head. No matter what happens in the market, you will not break your rules.

Years ago, I was an inexperienced swing trader. I would hold stocks down 30-60% because I "knew" these would come back. Most did, but some didn't. And guess what? Years later, they still haven't.

My maximum capital used on any trade is 10% of my portfolio.
My maximum stop loss is 10% on a daytrade.
Do the math. 1% if I completely swing and miss.
One percent.
Some people think you can't make real money trading like this.
And then at some point, the light comes on.
