    I know you can make a lot of money doing it, but you can also get your face ripped off. I see some of these youtubers making 50k a day on small caps. I don't know why people don't start trading the index funds first. I'd start with the SPY and the QQQ.

    I found that out the hard way last Summer. Best to paper trade than do it with real money for sure. I remember when I first started trading high volatility low cap names, I made 40k in an hour. I was in such a daze, I didn't realize it sold off until hours later. I won't touch names under...

    I never have a problem during the day, but I'm not in super volatile names. If you are in the small cap and spec names, that's where you can get destroyed.

    There is no guarantee your price will be filled, especially on a hard open. If you want to protect yourself, don't hold overnight.

    Goldman Sachs downgraded the sector, but that is near term. Mid to long term, they say the sector is good. First issue was business travel. We know that already. Second is fuel. Remains to be seen what gas prices do. Covid counts are down by half in the last month, so I guess I'm a...

    Closing a short position in the premarket. Reopened my short on FB, after the whistleblower told Congress to look for the secret files on kids and gave them the label. Not good for business. It's better to be short than long right now.

    Anyone take that NFLX trade I mentioned at 575? I wish I took more of it. I'm actually getting a little nauseas that I didn't buy more. 10% profit in a few weeks. I'm feeling quite distressed right now.

    Yup, I switched from the QQQs, where I was making money, to this. I made instant money on FB and then they started buying it up as they said Zuck knew he was killing kids, but wouldn't give up a hundredth of a percent of engagement. Closed the short for a loss of 370. 110 gain on the QQQ...

    My short isn't going very well. Somehow, this is positive news. She just said FB knows its promoting hate and suicidal thoughts, but will not let up the slightest lowering of engagements to do it, even hundredths of a percent.

    Sad thing is, I knew a nurse in a hospital that told me that Pfizer and BNTX were doing well. It was super volatile then, and I cut my position. In general, I don't touch experimental drugs any more...too binary.

    Anyone ever had a price show on their dashboard that never happened? It's weird. JETS is showing I bought at 25.2, and I haven't bought it in the 25s yet. Doesn't show in my history, just in my dashboard.

    Shorts are feasting, it's just too easy to make money shorting right now. "Citadel’s multistrategy flagship fund Wellington gained 7.8% in September, bringing its year-to-date performance to 18.5%, according to a person familiar with the returns."...

    And if I held my short another hour or so, it would have been another 1k on MRNA. That's fine, they are so irrational on that stock that it could've gone the other way. You never go broke taking a profit.

    Just now, closed my overnight shorts of ZM and MRNA, made 39 and 373 respectively. 412 profit. I opened a position end of the day on Friday in MRNA that lost 50. Closed the positions in the premarket, not wanting to hold them going into the open. MRNA has been overpriced, but that doesn't...

    Let a guy go this week, even in the face of this labor market. He got into two car accidents, almost let a log roll onto himself (breaking both legs), and almost had a few near death accidents. You can't stand underneath a tree and let a log come near your head. He's standing underneath trees...

    Claytrader on youtube helped me out in the beginning a lot. I don't agree with everything he does, but with all successful traders, you take a piece of what they say and tailor it to yourself. And this is how I day trade, pretty much.

    Except the casino is rigged in its favor, and most of the time in the market, you are the one hurting yourself. Those books that Jysin recommended on trader mentality, they are beyond awesome.
