Does anyone know what's happening

Does anyone know what's happening with uranium stocks? Some down huge (like 20-30%), while others up big.

w00t! I sold my palladium

Palladium follow up

Posted by McFly1985 on 27th of Mar 2019 at 09:16 pm

w00t! I sold my palladium stash 4 days before the reversal. Mostly luck, but maybe a tiny bit of skill? :) Thanks again for bringing it to my attention, Matt!

I just remembered that I bought a few ounces of palladium a few years ago and have been sitting on them since. Probably about time to sell. Thanks for the reminder, Matt!

It's not just you. Reverting to the small view in SC has been happening occasionally to me as well.

Finally took profits on my SMH short. Thanks for the idea, Matt & Steve!

Thanks for your ideas, cg9150!

Trading ES

Thanks for your ideas, cg9150! I agree that it's important to have a system, and perhaps your system is something to experiment with. To be honest, my own strategy has changed multiple times in the past year, and will be changing once again tomorrow morning. If anything, trading is one big experiment to see what works and what doesn't. And each person has to find something that works for them. For me, the strategies that Matt and Steve (and many of you, by your posts) teach on this site are the ones that I've found work better than the many many many things I've tried and failed at. Sometimes I wish I would have not bothered experimenting with my own stuff and just gone with what's been recommended here. But then again, I've learned so much from my failures and experiments that I think it'll make me a much better trader in the end. For now, pullbacks with triggers within established trends seems to work great.

PHM still looks interesting: http://schrts.co/sDVEmEjM

Crazy reversal in BG (Bungee)!

Crazy reversal in BG (Bungee)! Glad I took profits on my short before it bounced. Guess it lived up to its name, eh?

I really like IB. Low commissions,  and I can't remember the last time they didn't have shares to short (and I short something most days, so that's important to me). TWS desktop platform works fine, and never gives me issues. They are my main broker. I should note that I mostly trade via IB through my Multicharts software, so that removes a lot of the clunkiness for me.

BG had a nice breakdown

A few long ideas: AVY, BBD, SIVB. I wouldn't hold any of these for long, but we could get additional upside out of them.

Two either/or trades: NVDA, PHM.

Posted by McFly1985 on 13th of Feb 2019 at 08:47 pm

Two either/or trades: NVDA, PHM. Again, not a whole ton to choose from out there, since most patterns have already broken. I'll post a few shorts in a couple of hours. Gotta take my kid to scouts. (We're working on a video games unit. Way better than knot tying!)
