Trade risk management psychology and mechanics is a discipline itself. I am convinced a small study library could be filled on the topic.

Big Changes Coming: Even though we post my trades and trading room transcript and video daily (which has been a massive time investment) starting Monday @HundalShs and I have agreed to post intraday small vids to feed and YouTube every trade as they happen. Each will have every detail of setup and why and everything involved in each trade. I will actually find a way to step out and communicate. That should help folks struggling to get over the wall get over.

The Weekly Simple Swing Trade Charting (public edition) is out. This week however had a lot of indecision in the charts:
Summary Review of Markets, Chat Room, Algorithm Charting, Trades and Alerts:
Premarket was all about: $SORL
In play today in chat room and on markets:
$ACOR, $XIV, $UWT, $USOIL, $WTIC, $FWP, $SORL
My day consisted of a small momentum play in $ACOR that netted minor gains, an intra-day trade in $XIV netting around 400.00 and trading in and out of a 70% position in $UWT intra-day (adding to 30%) and closing out 100% $UWT swing trade on week for a 13,700.00 gain on that play. One of my better trades for the quarter.
Per last post; My large play is with $UWT, without explaining all the details early in the week I entered a small position $UWT at support and scaled in to the trade (it is a 3 x leveraged ETN related to oil $USOIL $WTIC) and by yesterday I was scaling out 70%. Anyway on 5000 shares scaled in (and trade isn’t done yet) I am up around 12,000.00 this week on this trade and will likely land around 15,000 if I can scale out of last 30% where I think it will find final resistance. So it’s one of my better trades in recent time.
Closing last 30% of $USOIL $WTI related trade $UWT for nice 13K win. Got the bottom earlier in week and rode it.

Spring cleaning in the room today. Managing swing trading positions but no momentum plays for me this morning – odd.

Simple swing charting that keeps me level when looking at the markets (examples below). Simple charting I find grounds you to simple trades which in turn keeps you profitable in toppy or sideways markets.

Live Trading Chat Room Transcript: (on YouTube Live):
Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:
Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades).
Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix.
Note: Apologies, some of the morning (first part) is missing from transcript (if we get time to transcribe it from the video we will, but nevertheless the video is available above).
Flash G: $MNKD spike
Flash G: $BBRY Resistance looks like a bull trap.
Flash G: I hold $ACIA in my swing trading. One that I will be trimming significantly today.
Sal: What do you think og it long now Flash?
Flash G: Not sure what your upside would be now. Limited RR?
Flash G: Curt? Mathews?
HedgehogTrader: $ICLD closed the gap after its big run
Curtis: Nice call Nicholas
Curtis: $ACIA chart review on mic
HedgehogTrader: MJs are good group to watch as we lead up to 4/20
HedgehogTrader: one wee one is $VAPE if closes over 008
Curtis: Do you have concern with forward earnings etc? Or no?
Curtis: Fundamentals have kept me out but maybe I should look.
HedgehogTrader: i think it could run as soon as next week
Curtis: ok $VAPE is your primary watch?
Curtis: for that group
MarketMaven: $CNAT action
HedgehogTrader: i like $MJTK and $VAPE for leveraged MJs
Curtis: Ha. When I was originally trained on the markets the guy that trained me called this the horns pattern.
HedgehogTrader: lol
Curtis: He’d laugh and say don’t get the horns
HedgehogTrader: beware horny stocks
Curtis: lol
HedgehogTrader: it does look like that too
MarketMaven: hey curt!
MarketMaven: all good got it – thanks for your eye opening chart review I would have jumped in 5 of those :):):)
Curtis: Off mic for transcript – reviewed a bunch of charts prior to this line…
Flash G: I was hoping for a daytrade myself. But I am cleaning up my swings.
Flash G: I really enjoy the explanation of that oil charting.
HedgehogTrader: LAC.TO is a nice lithium junior LACDF for US investors
HedgehogTrader: about $1/share
Curtis: On Mic Review $VAPE
Curtis: On Transcript how to make my charts your own when I share them
mathew: costa rica brother. Going in Nov and possibly jan/feb for a couple months
Curtis: Love costa rica
Curtis: Off mic
Curtis: $CBIO tape bullll
Curtis: On mic re: $CBIO break-out intra
Curtis: off mic $CBIO review
Curtis: We’;; have to remember to come back to $VAPE Monday and follow it through as it plays out.
HedgehogTrader: for sure- thanks for taking a look at it!
HedgehogTrader: i like that momo indicator
Curtis: It’s fantastic
Curtis: Best indicator – chart indicator anyway
Curtis: Why is the $VIX up so high relative to today’s tape? Insurance?
mathew: Sometimes call buying can also spike the vix, but yea most likely cheap insurance. I mean it can’ go to 0 so being in th e12’s is still pretty low hostorically
Sal: omg just seen your tweet
Curtis: Thanks Mat not sure I understand $VIX enough
HedgehogTrader: for any of you who like the lithium space who are looking for an asymmetric opportunity $ILHMF is a holding of mine I like going forward about 10-11c/share
HedgehogTrader: 10-11c per share. Insiders own +50% and a large lithium producer in Chiina owns 18% of International Lithium ILHMF. Unusual since ILHMF has only a 10M mkt cap
Curtis: $AKTS buying
Curtis: I’ll have to put that one on the list Nich
HedgehogTrader: yes, it’s a really nice risk/reward set up as the Chinese are spending 12m on exploration over the next year on one JV with Intl Lithium
HedgehogTrader: developing a world class lithium project 2019 production and ILC will own 20-30% of it (it;s a JV)
HedgehogTrader: Ganfeng is the big partner and Intl Lithium has a second JV with them on another great project in Ireland- great biz model, let the big money develop projects and reap the benefits
HedgehogTrader: sorry for my spiel 🙂 but i think we are at bottom of this lithium cycle
HedgehogTrader: and the most leverage stocks will jump
HedgehogTrader: there’s more to the story- if you like i’ll write it up for you Curtis
HedgehogTrader: trades as ILC.V in Canada
HedgehogTrader: miners showing signs of life again
Curtis: Sorry, I was off in lala land
Curtis: chart land
Curtis: YES for sure is the answer
HedgehogTrader: good stuff I will
