Inside weeks

In this episode I talk about not trading inside weeks, or inside days as they are forming. It is a chop shop. I don't want to see you get chopped up. The week of 11-15 September was a mess. Then today on during the FOMC report, Chair Powell says, they are raising rates. Hahah, yeah we know.

Trading can be taxing on your mind and your spirit. Have someone you can talk to about trade. of course, always someone you can trust. That person for me was Rob Smith.

Mother bar problems
#13
05/17/2023


Today we are talking about mother bar problems. That is when you have a very large bar on the charts and the next five to six bars are very small and trapped inside the range of that large bar. This is not a place where you want to be trading. Also the market seems to be stuck because we are waiting on Congress to raise the debt ceiling, or not. Keep your stops tight and stay out of the chop.

Post FOMO
#9
03/15/2023

Post FOMO is a term I made up for people that always talk about how much money they left on the table. Who cares, move forward. The three people that never make any money are named, Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda. We also talk about CPI, and the range we are stuck trading in.

When things occur matters.
#8
03/03/2023

When things occur matters. Some people get frustrated when the signals go In Force without them. We know what could happen by price, actionable signals, and the broadening formation, but we don't know when. Preferably we want the reversal to happen at the beginning of the week. Sometimes that doesn't happen. I like to use Stop market buy orders to get in when I'm not staring at the charts. 


Who is responsible for your trades?
#7
02/17/2023

Who is responsible for your trades? Short answer, you are. You have to know what is going on in the Market, and you have to have an out. You have to know how you are going to get out of your position. Preferably, with profit. We talk about jobless calms, and other market news.

Execution
#6
02/03/2023

Talking about the Fed report, what I call the FOMO report. Also talking about the 2-2 reversal up on the quarter in S&P 500. We now have evidence that buyers are actually here. Plan your trades, and execute. 


Price discounts everything
#5
01/22/2023

No mater what the news says you have to be able to look at a chart and see what the price actually trading at. Price is what is actually happening now. Are you in a winning or losing position? I want you to know. 


Consistency
#4
01/07/2023

This is first week of the new year. You don't have to be the first one in, but you do have to have a system you can be consistent with. You have to be able to execute without hesitation. You can do it. I know you can. We create winning positions, add to them, and defend them with tight stop.

Can't go down forever
#3
01/05/2023

The only podcast with the StratSoldier looking at the Markets through the eyes of the Strat. 


It can't go down forever. No one is excited about this trading year. What is going to be the thing that stops the selling? The Fed keep raising interest rates, and the war in Ukraine still rages on. These were the two things that really messed up 2022. At best it will trade sideways all year, but even that is hopeful wishing. We don't trade on hope. 


You don't have to trade everyday
#2
01/05/2023

The only podcast with the StratSoldier looking at the Markets through the eyes of The Strat. 

You don't have to trade every day. This is something that every trader needs to hear. There is so much pressure from other traders, your broker, and even yourself to trade. You don't have to take every signal.
