Daytrading

Why we always widen our stop loss when DAY TRADINGVery important and basic rule with Day Trading. Always increase the stop loss when going short (sell) above the original stop loss. Always decrease the stop loss when going long (buying) below the original set stop loss. Reason: When the index touches the ASK or BID price (regardless of it actually trading there), it will get you out of your trade and hit your stop loss. So, don’t be afraid to increase the distance between the entry and stop loss. As long as the Risk to Reward stays above 1:1.5 – It’s fine. How much do I increase the distance between the entry and the stop loss? Notice what the spread is on the contract when you place your stop loss. So wherever you wanted to put your stop loss originally, add the spread on top of that and that is where you would place your NEW stop loss. Maybe 20 – 30 points is safe. But other times it could be up to 50 points

8.18.2024 Weekly Pre-Market Analysis S&PThis is my Weekly Pre-Market Analysis on the S&P> Right now we are going to wait for market structure to form. We saw lower highs and higher lows form on Friday after the last bullish move up. So we do not have a clear direction as to which way if may head. We have a plan for a SHORT position as well as a plan for a LONG position. We just need to watch the LOWS & HIGHS form on the 15 minute chart, before we even think of getting into a trade.
