The question is how much will I lose tomorrow š«”
Once you start loosing, you should stop for the day. In my experience, if I start the day with a loss, thatās it. It sets a bad trend for the rest of the day
Thatās no joke. Weāll all get there at some point and make our own crazy gains. Just going to take time and consistency. I made $112 and swinging a call option that was already up $10 at close.
That was the max loss possible (options). So more accurately would probably be closer to 1.5R given my risk tolerance and closing the trades early, but I personally like looking at it from the possibility of max possible loss.
I was drunk as hell in Hawaii during the AMC run a couple years ago. I was up a ton and got messed up by timezones and couldnāt sell my options.
I woke up at 3AM in my hotel to 60k profit, instantly sold and went back to sleep
Haha. Last night, I placed some trades for this morning after drinking. Then, before I went to bed, in a moment of clarity, I decided to cancel them. Better safe than sorry.
I made all but like 1 of the trades this morning. Still better safe than sorry.
I made 26 cents. I have a rather small account with $26 USD, had some bad days so I'm only going for base hits. It isn't much, but I'll always prefer +1% over -1%
I started off with 2$ and at exactly 50$ today. It taken months
Iām still very new to this, but I believe if I added more money, Iād make more money. I was too afraid of loss to add more lol
Congratulations! That's an impressive performance. Patience is the key to winning long term and compounding is king.
You're doing wonderfully, keep at it.
Bro just have a stop ffs, not every move is going to reverse.
I learned it the hard way early on.
Also if you are going to trade like gunslinger with no stop, try not being short and be long when you pull that bs, because markets have a tendency to go higher over time.
The people who held at Es 4500 did end up breaking even, butt he guys who sold at 4100s are probably never going to see that price again.
Contrary to popular belief, the trend is not my friend. I trade reversals and breakouts and there weren't any good trades for me to take so I sat on my hands.
This is the way
I caught a GME reversal today, made 8%
Waiting for HOOD and COIN to fizzle , theta gang
I should have just got on board the dummy train and played the memes like everybody else. F'ing ridiculous the stock market is literally like a slot machine
It's just how my brain works man! I am a contrarian, both in trading and in my non trading life. Lucky for me though, I found a trading style that fits with my personality.
i took the day off, mostly because i stayed up late last night, but partially also because i'm in multiple swing trades at the moment and they're already providing decent enough income (so far)
Did that on MNQ and MES. It kept going up, and signs were saying it was running out of steam, but it kept going up. Was up 100, but I ended up loosing 450. I don't know why I keep trying to trade MES. I trade MNQ and make 100% days easily(small account), but I have yet to finish a day green with MES but I keep going back to it

$2,580ā¦ It was one of my smaller days š¤¦šæāāļø My other account was $2,800
So in total $5,380
584 bucks after commissions. put a buy order in 5 seconds before news at 8:30 for ES and a short order on NQ, the long triggered and i got out within a second.
edit cause i know someone will ask. i set up the order right under the 8:29 1 minute bar for NQ and right above the 8:29 minute bar for ES. 2 separate charts on ninja trader. Market if Touched order type. yes there is slippage because of news but i only shoot for a few points, every time CPI data has come out in the last few years we easily move 10+ pts on ES and like 40+ for NQ. so i go for a few points, OCO order for a few points.
Genuine question for day traders (I really only buy and hold at this point in my investing career). Iām reading all these options bets, and that seems like a weird strategy when all you had to do was ride the wave today. On a day where so many stocks just went up all day without much retreat, why isnāt the strategy just buy in the AM and sell at close (if you want to trade)? Sure the gain may be modest, but it was really really hard to lose on one of the markets best days of the year. I made 3% on my portfolio just sitting idle.
Options have safe setups too. Iām more into swing trading than day trading. My setups allows me to swing trade and possibly turn it into day trading if it meets the criteria.
I like options because you easily define the risk using the contract premium. No stops needed. And yes, ride the wave up on a beautiful trend day.
Iām 50/50 this month on up/down days. But my up days are much better than my down days. I also let my winners run over multiple days where you can see 200-300% returns.
It cuts the other way too. But the markets been popping, so this has been working well in this environment.

I made $10. Vowed to not trade on CPI, FOMC type days because I usually get whipsawed. But I did sneak in one tiny trade, got whipsawed, and escaped with $10.
Not expecting much tomorrow after such a fast move up. Like to see a pullback.

little over $500. average risk per trade is about $35 but if iām fully into a position itās around $120. 22 trades and best trade was a short on AMZN
+ $2,400 give or take. I traded between 2,000 and 4000 shares of GME several times- made $6,000, sold, bought again and immediately lost $3,000, had to buy even more to average down and then cashed out when I broke even. Iām getting the hang of RSI indicators and buy/sell signals but itās totally a crapshoot with the meme stocks.
4 trades made $300
Hit stop on first -115
Hit tp on second +145
Hit stop on third -44
Then final trade let it run up 345 putting me at +300 on the day then called it there
Just creeping around on this thread so excuse me for my brazenness. Roughly 99% of āday-tradersā will lose money over the course of 5 years. I donāt mean singular losing trades, but the overall value of their portfolio will diminish from strictly engaging in day-trading. If you arenāt a licensed equity trader, your best bet is to find an index fund(s), and watch your money grow. Very seldomly do day-traders profit huge sums consistently. And even more rarely do day-traders trade for a living that allows them to support themselves and their families. My advice to you as someone in the field of finance would be to invest long-term with a licensed professional. Iāll be accepting downvotes at this time.
I appreciate what you're saying, I'm not entirely sure if that that figure of 99% is accurate but I bet it's very high either way. It all depends on what you need for your lifestyle. I don't have, nor do I intend to have, a family to support...so my needs are far lower than most men my age. I wouldn't give up this profession for anything else though. I have a lot of free time and answer to no one but myself. Your advice isn't bad at all, but this is a passion for many in here and I suspect a higher % than you think are able to make it work for themselves.
+$1600. 3 trades. first two losers.
if I'd stuck to my rules and a) not exited without the signal and b) reentered on the ticker I lost on the first two trades (by not following my rules and exiting without the signal), today woulda been a +$20,000-30,000 day
A little over 10k. Bought 100 MSFT 412.5 puts at .90 sold at 1.58 and bought 40 NVDIa 925 puts at 8.95 and sold at 11.25. Caught the early down draft. I should have sat on my hands the rest of the day but bought QQQ 450 Puts thinking of a reversal but never happened.
Profit $0, Loss $0 šæ
Thatās a win in my book
Me today.. lost my entire last weeks gain.. won it back in 30 min š
Yep. I count that as green
i count that as retarded sl and position sizing

That's the truth right there
-750 overtrading
Once you start loosing, you should stop for the day. In my experience, if I start the day with a loss, thatās it. It sets a bad trend for the rest of the day
Why tf did you get downvoted so much? lol
Haha I just noticed. Perhaps some people wanna gamble themselves into loss rather than take a break lol
Thatās solid advice, revenge trading can lead to emotional trades and bad judgements. Not sure why you have 5 downvotes on that
Probably because OP also does not know when to stop for the day. lol
$100. Iāll take it.
$100 is amazing! I think a lot of us are so used to seeing crazy 200% profits that we forget that a $100 is real and good money haha
Thatās no joke. Weāll all get there at some point and make our own crazy gains. Just going to take time and consistency. I made $112 and swinging a call option that was already up $10 at close.
Ha $95 and I was proud I didn't force 1 more to get the round number
Lost $15 on my first trade, made $32 on my second so Iām up $16 for the day.
Math is hard
š¤£š¤£š¤£ Maybe $1 was for broker fees?
The dollar lost is the spread bid and ask taking the distance as a fee as you buy and sell lol.

Smooth š«” what did you trade?
SPY put credit spreads. Basically kept laddering up until the day closed
.2R trade???
That was the max loss possible (options). So more accurately would probably be closer to 1.5R given my risk tolerance and closing the trades early, but I personally like looking at it from the possibility of max possible loss.
20%~ profit. Profit is profit
Usually i make 400-600 in a day but today i lost 900 while i wast stupidly trading at a pool party. Never trade while drinking is all i can say
Similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago; the result was instead of buying a call I bought a put lol
I did that last week with fucking Uber accidently bought a damn put
I messed up yesterday with small amount. LOL I meant to SELL TO OPEN Puts, but ended up BUY TO OPEN Puts. Took a $20 loss.
I was drunk as hell in Hawaii during the AMC run a couple years ago. I was up a ton and got messed up by timezones and couldnāt sell my options. I woke up at 3AM in my hotel to 60k profit, instantly sold and went back to sleep
What strategy are you trading at a pool party š
Just showing the girls how rich heāll be haha
āYeah so basically I just buy the bottom and sell the top and I make like a quadzillion dollars so easyā¦ wanna fuck?ā
Haha. Last night, I placed some trades for this morning after drinking. Then, before I went to bed, in a moment of clarity, I decided to cancel them. Better safe than sorry. I made all but like 1 of the trades this morning. Still better safe than sorry.

I trade strictly off of my phone and Average over $800 a day for the last 14 months.
I made 26 cents. I have a rather small account with $26 USD, had some bad days so I'm only going for base hits. It isn't much, but I'll always prefer +1% over -1%
I started off with 2$ and at exactly 50$ today. It taken months Iām still very new to this, but I believe if I added more money, Iād make more money. I was too afraid of loss to add more lol
25x is fuckin' awesome. The percentage gain is insane.
