Premarket watch-list for me was all about: 

$OCRX $STAF $EYES $AAOI $TVIA

$OCRX Premarket Chart

$OCRX Premarket up 40% on news.

In play today in chat room and on markets:

Premarket was in $OCRX $STAF $EYES $AAOI $TVIA and then on the day it was $NVET, $CALI, $STRM, $VSTM and a few others. I didn’t trade any day-trades but did some Swing Trading management on that platform.

On the OTC side my $LIGA call was playing out well.

Also on top of $USOIL, $WTI intensely of course because I am in $DWT and Gold $GLD because I am in 1/5 small position in $DUST and $XIV, $VIX, $SPX, $SPY play getting interesting to me so watching very closely.

How-to Trade Stocks, Lessons and Educational:

It’s not about picking the right stocks. Focus should be mechanics of the trade – indicators for entry, exit, sizing, timing, trailing etc.

What a great post ???⤵ #trading #success

“Rules Based Approach” If there was only one thing I could drive home w/ new traders (that I speak to all day every day) is this one thing.

Never blame, never complain, never lack gratitude for the opportunity to learn. Be a good loser, dust off and move on to the next trade.

Stocks, ETN’s, ETF’s I am holding:

I am holding (in order of sizing – all moderately small size to micro sizing) – $DUST, $DWT, $XIV, $ONTX, $XOM, $NE, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI (this is the daytrading portfolio and does not represent swing trading service portfolio): Looking at moving out of all these small positions over the next month or so.

Live Trading Chat Room Video Raw Footage and Transcript:

Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day)

 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. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

MarketMaven: Snow.
Curt M: Back
Curt M: Thanks
Optionsavvy: Snow?
Optionsavvy: ha ha whats that ?
mathew: With the VIX I like to keep charts simple and only chart major levels. Im watching to see if we can make it to that down trend which I doubt but that would be a vol short for me
Curt M: Piss me off
Curt M: Surfer stuck in mountain snow land
Optionsavvy: what a difference a day makes. IWM short was money yesterday because it was weak. today is strong on rel basis so will be my long if I try at open

Curt M: $BLTO halt
Optionsavvy: long $QQQ here
Flash G: $DIS bullish tape
mathew: Short term gold shouldn’t have much room to the upside here with large divergences from real rates. More war premium can pop it but I’m cautious on gold. Miners have also played like crap thus far in the most recent run

Flash G: $AAPL chart repairing
Curt M: Agreement is powerful.
Flash G: $NFLX chart repairing
Flash G: I think you guys hit it on the head. Next week could be very big.
Curt M: 10:03 Off mic – no momo plays – scanning – will do chart review at 12:00 EST – 1:00 EST in preparation for next week >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hedgehog Trader: Curt, one of my forecasts on $IWC microcap index shows a very high magnitude one month move after Apr 17th

MarketMaven: 🙂
Optionsavvy: JMEI not bad
Optionsavvy: http://www.finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=211&f=geo_china,sh_avgvol_o50,sh_price_u15,sh_relvol_o1.5,ta_perf_dup&ft=4
MarketMaven: I know theyre all junk
MarketMaven: sometimes i will just scalp em
Flash G: $SHOP break out likely to hold IMO
MarketMaven: Careful with $ZENO
Flash G: Curt, $SPY may turn up here – its possible.

Sammy T: $URRE tape coming alive
Optionsavvy: that auto loan default comment on your feed sounded a LOT like what they were saying in 05-07 about housing. its an asset and has a tangible value. think we all know how that worked out
Sammy T: yes
Flash G: Doesn’t look good the autos. Canadian housing prices too.
Flash G: Toronto and Vancouver.
Flash G: $GOOGLE strong now
Optionsavvy: cyclical trade would be short GM and F . auto values will collapse and noone buying anything
Flash G: $SPY still might take off from here.
Flash G: 50 MA about to cross up through 100 on the 3 there you never know
Optionsavvy: imo DOW would have to get moving for anything meaningful to happen today
Flash G: Thats a fact
Optionsavvy: starting to look like I’m heading to golf course early 🙂
Flash G: Well enjoy! I will be in the scotch at 1PM for an early tip.
Optionsavvy: this AXSM is setup nicely. got long it early in the week but might cut it loose if it doesnt wake up soon
