why sad man, did you buy it or not short it again?

DJT wend down yet again that makes it 13 days in a row with lower high each day

it sure looks like a falling knife or a falling piano :)

but it will rebound eventually



my set up did not get triggered today because the price did not trade at 33.10

so no loss and no gain

will try again
my happy face was a confused look. not sad. I didn't quite get your strategy. I am not a sophisticated trader.

Watching CNN. Apparently Trumptards who care, have sunk their life savings into this piece of shit and are willing to put more in if they can scrape it together to prop it up.

simple strategy

I take today's high and low of the day and that gives me a range

for tomorrow I set up my trade to be triggered in only if the stock trades 1 penny above today's high

I want the stock price to break previous day's high to show me that there is potential move up

today it didn't happen

the price actually gaped down and didn't come close to breaking previous day high

so we didn't get triggered into the trade

so no loss

Shorting the shit out of it seems like a simpler and more predictable strategy

yes sure looks like it

but if it bounces back it will be substantial move

just trying to cash in on that pull back when and if it happens

could be 20% move on a day

that's why you should always have a stop loss set up so at least you know how much you can lose if price goes against you

I used what's called a bracket order, every broker has it

it lets you set up a trade before market opens

you can set up exactly how much you want to pay for the stock

also your stop loss and profit all at the same time

IMHO, most of the reason DJT stock is going down, is because Trump is stuck in this 6-8 week joke of a trial. Therefore Trump has very little opportunity to campaign for 6-8 weeks!! If somehow the trial starts going Trump's way, the DJT stock could start taking off to the upside.

I also find trading options very complicated, and as a result, I don't even have a margin account!!

DJT applied to sell more stocks which will dilute the price even more

I'm sure sooner or later they will charge Trump with something connected to this company :)

I have a stop loss on every stock I own right now because the market is fucked. I don't know that much about options, but this seems a no brainer to short. I just don't know how you would consider buying this on a stop loss. Good luck with that.

not sure I understand what you mean by buying on a stop loss

I'm here only for the bounce, short term and not as a long time investment

I like it for short term because it can move 20% in one day

a bracket order is a combination of 3 different prices

I do not want to buy this stock now as it's falling

I want the price to go a little higher and brake previous day's high

that might suggest that the bounce is on the way

in order to do that I will place a "BUY STOP LIMIT" order at the price 1 penny above previous day's high

at the same time I will set a stop loss to go into effect only when my "BUY STOP LIMIT" order gets triggered

if the price never hits my set number for my "BUY STOP LIMIT", nothing will happen

my order will not be filled and that's it, no loss

but if my buy order gets triggered

then immediately the stop loss order will be activated to protect me in case the price reverses and goes down

in the same bracket order I will set a third price

that will be my profit target and my shares will be sold automatically when the price goes to that level

but the profit and loss orders will only go into affect when the "BUY STOP LIMIT" order triggers

if it doesn't

nothing happens

it really is simple

look at it this way

the stock price is falling

stock is trading at $9.00 right now

you can buy it right now for $9.00

but because the price is falling, it might be trading at $8.50 soon after you buy at $9.00

so you want something to indicate that the falling price is coming to an end at least for a short term

and that the price might go up a little

so your plan can be let's say

I want to see the price to go up to $10.00

that would indicate to me that the downtrend might be coming to an end

so I want to buy this stock but only if and when it reaches $10.00

I don't want to buy it now at $9.00

I want to see some bounce up first

otherwise the stock will just keep falling

$9

$8

$7

who knows how far it will fall


I need the stock to show me it's turning up

like a good girl, before I enter :)

of course you can do all of that all by yourself if you have the time to sit in front of the computer all day

but if not, you can make a bracket order with the buy price specified

before the market opens

that way you can go to work and not even look at the charts

and if the stock price goes up and hits $10.00

your order will trigger

and the broker will automatically buy you your shares at $10.00

if the price doesn't go up to $10 but instead keep going down to $8.00

your order will not get triggered and nothing will happen

I don't see any bounce. Just free fall. Easy short.
