一般驱动浪有清晰的5浪:如这轮下跌是3(5)浪的下跌
Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you
level I是 trend follow trade,
是最容易掌握的, 熟练以后也是很profitable的intraday or short-term swing trade.
Based on my experience, 非常适合major index
key points
1, 观察的15min SMA20的trend,
trending higher, look for buy opportunity, trending lower, look for short opportunity, no trend, no trade.
2, aggressive/conservative entry and exit point
two consecutive candle close up/below SMA20.
look for failed backtest of SMA20
3, leading indicator
StochRSI25 cross over/below 50
4, confirmation indicator
RSI cross over/below 50.
Again, this should be very profitable trades in a trending day.
This is notes of the level 1 of quick swing trade lessons.
(1) Market View: stand on the right side of the game
First, I do not need to point out now we are in down trend (everyone knows) unless we see significant signals for a trend change. The safe trades are the ones that follow the trend. Counter trend trades do profitable sometimes, but the increasing risks and required skills that make this not suitable for everyone. Use 秋之皓月 for example (sorry), he is a master of doing counter trend trades and even with those trades, he uses to quick in and out, plus he always has other trend trades/options to hedge. He uses stops, trailing stops, conditional stops, etc to protect his trades. Unfortunately I have never saw him to care about spend sometime to discuss these rather than joking around here. My advices to people here who do not think they have秋之皓月’s trading skills, do not try to enter a counter trend trade without protection (I will discuss that in (3)).
Second: I think I also do not have to point out (since everyone knows) this is trader’s mkt not an investors’ mkt. But why so many people think about long/short and hold?
(2) Find a trading system that fits you personality and style of thinking (if you can not change your brain after 7 years old, from old Chinese myth) you need find a way that you can trade to fit your brain
First: Figure out who you are and how you can trade is important. If you can not take such pressure on trading, if you can not watch mkt tick by tick, if you can not bear the loss, or if you are just lazy and think trade mkt is a easy way to make money, if you are just a long term investor that is long for buy and hold for next 5 years. You have to take different strategies before you think about to start a trade.
Second: Trading systems, there are many trading systems and trends, triggers that traders use for the trade. For these days, as it is just a traders mkt, I only use weekly, daily, and 60min every night to view the trend and do day trades use short term charts (1, 5, 15 mins charts). I have 2 simple trading systems, (1) use BB and 50ema (5min chart) (2) use ema (or sma) 7 and 21 crossing to decide enter and exit points during the day. If the signals do not trigger a trade, I will just wait. That means if I do not see an edge to enter and do not see where I can exit, I do not do a trade.
(3) Figure out your exit point before enter a position. This is most important, I saw almost ALL posts here talk about how to enter positions (enter the mkt) and never saw a post that tells how to exit the position. Actually a good trader spends more time to figure out where and how to exit before they enter a position. The exit strategy includes how much loss you can bear on this trade. Where to take the profit and where to exit if the position starts to against you. Set those are a must before enter a trade and if you do see profit that reaches your target (congrats you are right) you should use trailing stops to protect your trades and never loss money on a winning trade. If the trade starts to against you, do execute your planed exit plan to exit your position, no questions, no exceptions. A very simple logic: you have to have less or smaller losses than your winners and profitable trades to make money.
(4) Control emotion and greedy kills: I noticed many people loss money is not because they do not have an exit plan, they do, but they (1) excuses themselves again and again to against their original plan and think the thing will go what they think it should go (2) Do NOT want to admit their mistakes. Their emotional an greedy part of brain KILL the trades and mone
Option Lesson 1.
The key for option trade is 1) to find the biggist move in the shortest time. 2) to find move direction. 3) to find the best buy point and price.
How? When?
Now, I introduce one of the conditions, very simple, you can make many folds in short time, but you can not be rich.
After the earning of the shares higher than $100 with huge volume of the option, if the price of the share moves more than 10%, buy the contrary direction options chain at the lowest prices.
For example,
Last July, goog opened the earning, price down from 540 to 500 after earning, before mt opened, All the Aug , Sep option chains from 550 to 780 were set up to buy at 0.05. At 9:30am, I bought Aug 660, 690, 710-----780. In five minutes, 4000 profit.I sold Call 660 at 1,..........
1. buy 45% of your account at spx 900
2. 到了1000点sell一半,另一半自便
3.如果step 2没能触发,等待market到750,买另外45% of your account。
*如果step 3也没能触发,市场在751-900之间振荡,睡觉;
4.step 3后,如果弹到900,锁定一半利润,另一半自便。
5.如果继续跌到600,用那剩下的10%买成较远期的call,比如半年期的,那个leverage差不多5倍,等待弹到750出货;到这步为止,成本均价略低于750。
6.以上步骤如果work,买香槟,回家一口闷。
7.如果期间市场始终没有150点以上的反弹,买敌敌畏,到NYSE门前一口闷。
8.执行step 7的时候,记得不要提胡同,也不要提pinball......
