I just noticed that one of my feeds is rookie and the other is rabbit. Well, both are me. I had issues logging in, so I thought it would work best to simply change my login information. I will just address myself as rookie-since that is the title I have chosen for the new login. Sorry guys!!by rookie30 - Trading Discussion
DSA, Thank you very much. This is by far the toughest thing I have ever done, and I get so frustrated, but I love the challenges that are presented daily. I have settled down and and focused on 4 stocks that I watch consistently. Today was better than any day since I have been trading. I made excellent entries and exits. Well, my exits were based on being "Happy in Seattle". Thereby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
Darcy, Thanks for the insight on CF. I entered a practice play this morning. I have noticed that when this stock gaps up or down, it appears to run fairly agressively in that direction. I bought it on the open. Well, it was predictable (this time) and popped really nicely after the open. I stayed in until it appeared to flatten out-after that huge, red candle on the 21. It will probably ruby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
Yes, the postings are very helpful. Please keep sending them. I am learning so much from all of you. I am realizing I still have a lot to learn about entry and exit points. I am back to practicing until I can nail my my entries. Thanks to all of you for your help.by rookie30 - Trading Discussion
I am in total agreement with what has been stated. I jump AAPL this morning. I was pretty upset with myself because I did not stay in through the weekend, so I made an impulsive decision and jumped it this morning. Well, when I jumped, I quickly figured out that the stock was not going to continue moving up as it did on an open last week. I lost a "brick" and got out with the smallby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
I have been practicing as well. This flat market indicates to me that a pull back is most likely coming soon. I am presently in CHK calls (practice play). I am up 30% and probably should get out, but my signals are still telling me it will run a little more, so I will see how it reacts today and make a decision (most likely sell). I am also in DECK. It has performed quite well sinceby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
Ha Ha! I have always loved calls. When I am in a play, I am confident, but very wound up. I love that rush. The results of this one really moved my needle. I sold after being up about 3% from yesterday and 22% today. I do not see anything I like for a play tomorrow, so I am going fishing!!!by rookie30 - Trading Discussion
I recently started trading real money. The freakiest and most amazing thing happened. I bought Calls on NFLX 2 days ago. Well, I never stay in a stock through earnings, but NFLX slipped up on me, and I got caught riding through earnings. If you follow the market often, you will know that NFLX is up over 20% today! I am happy that I made the biggest profit ever, but I am very disappointed inby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
trendtrader1, Thank you very much! I appreciate you sharing some of your secrets that will hopefully help me to become an excellent trader.by rookie30 - Trading Discussion
Good morning trendtrader1, Until recently, I have not studied or done much research regarding earnings. Wow! If a high volume stock meets earnings expectations, it can "sky rocket". I watched what happened to Google when it did not meet earnings, and now I am watching overnight trading on Apple after it met earnings. Talk about a drastic move.... I simply could not take a chancby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
trendtrader1, Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. The information provided by RTT can provide such a relief that one can become dependant to a point that 90% of trading decisions are based on the trend analysis. I simply cannot see how I will not become much more accurate in my trades based on the trend information available, but as a new real money trader, I have to not allowby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
Today is my first day using RTT. I can clearly see that some of my extensive research has been more than cut in half. The days of scrolling back and back and back on my charts have been minimized. I tend to look for trades that clearly show historical gains during the window of time and season of the year ,so that is a piece that I can clearly find on RTT. I am excited about having access to sby rookie30 - Trading Discussion
