Text of the page (random words):
and you haven t yet honed your skills then you are likely still struggling to find basic winning trades thus being in the position to add to a trade will probably be a rare occurrence however if you have some more market experience and confidence add reduce is a fantastic way to accelerate profits without giving up much in return in order for this to work we must have additional areas on the chart to add to our trade this means that we do not randomly add to our trades simply because they are moving in our direction if our initial entry is on a pullback buy set up then we will ride this up until we are presented with another possible entry point such as a breakout or a 3 bar play when we do this we will add shares at the new entry point then raise our stop to the new stop area and in doing so gain a better position cost average with potentially double the shares or more we are not obligated to double our share size in fact it s entirely up to the trader we can add an extra 1 3rd lot or perhaps an extra ½ lot and sometimes even more than double our current share size how much we add is solely up to us and our comfort level also note there are times when we will have multiple areas to add to our position throughout a trade thus it s possible to have 3 to 4 times more shares than we started with yet without increasing our risk exposure this is also known as pyramiding check out the example below to see just how powerful this technique can be as you can see in the example above from a trade that we took in our trading room the initial entry was a nice controlled breakdown with a 250 risk level 1000 shares then after the stock began to move lower another entry presented itself in the form of a 3 bar play 3bp this gave us the opportunity to add shares and tighten our stop loss ultimately this allowed us to literally double our profits without being exposed to any additional risk this is powerful stuff here is another example of a trade that we took live in our trading room in this example there is an initial entry at 43 15 with not one but 2 areas to add to our position the initial entry is a nice 5 buy set up at the r21ema with a bt a nbb at l2 support and on a 50 retracement after moving higher a consolidation area forms that allows us to add to our position and tighten our stop loss thus incurring no additional risk finally there is a 3 bar play that forms shortly after the breakout once again allowing us to add even more shares without adding to our risk level ultimately this trade began with a 250 risk level 2500 shares and though we ended up with 7500 shares we never incurred another penny of risk while ultimately doubling our profits there aren t too many instances in life where we can increase our bottom line while decreasing our risk exposure add reduce can be one of them this can be an effective way to increase accelerate profits however we must not forget several things you have to be a good enough trader to find and be in stocks that move you have to be willing to re invest some of your profits to make this work takes confidence you should only be adding on recognizable patterns how much you add is up to you however it should never be more than your initial risk if you stop out when used properly by disciplined traders this can be a powerful tool to have in your tool box it s usually best to start small when adding and as you gain confidence and comfort you can begin to add more and more live traders is an educational online trading firm catering to a community of serious traders we pride ourselves on

and being able to earn a living in only 60 90 minutes a day however to do this we must be organized and focused as the early minutes of the day tend to be fast paced and very active trading this time of the day is also very conducive for traders who are somewhat jittery with their management and generally possess less patience the reason being is that stocks typically move much faster in the morning therefor the potential to hit a solid target in a shorter period of time is more likely despite the attractiveness of trading the open we must also fore warn newer traders about the potential drawbacks as well namely stocks tend to be much spreadier and whippier making them more challenging to get filled on as well as the possibility of stopping out of a trade much quicker as you can see everything is a give and take so while trading the market open is not for everyone it is absolutely our favorite time of the day to trade and happens to be one of the most profitable times as well let s talk a little bit more specifically about how to trade the open with effectiveness and precision the main component of being a proficient early morning trader is organization things happen very quickly at this time of the day and it is imperative that we have a very focused and organized list of the stocks we are most interested in because you can miss something in an instant and be left shaking your head in frustration the first thing a trader needs to do is develop a healthy and consistent morning routine for example when we get in front of my trading desk usually around 8 45am est the first thing we do is look at the markets we do this by checking the 60 and daily chart of the spy and qqq this gives us an idea of where the market is gapping to as well as where it gapped from and of course the next areas of support and resistance we recommend that traders draw support and resistance lines on their chart for the spy and qqq as a guide to follow once we have our morning market bias higher lower or neutral then it is time to formulate our watch list by scanning for gapping stocks almost every stock gaps every day however not every gap is compelling in fact most are worthless it is our job as traders to scan through our watch list and choose the highest quality gapping stocks of the day personally we use gainers and losers to formulate my morning gap list we will also use gainers and losers as well at times if necessary the key here is to know what you are looking for at livetraders net we have very specific rules for scanning our morning gaps this includes using a detailed ranking system from level 1 to level 3 to determine the highest quality gaps of the morning the reason we rate every gap is so that we can organize them in order of importance by importance we mean urgency simply put the better the gap the more urgent the entry the shoddier the gap the less urgent the entry as an example we will be much more aggressive with level 1 gaps than with level 3 gaps due their shock value relative strength weakness void and overall superior quality whereas a level 3 gap doesn t possess as many defined attributes and thus needs a more confirmed entry once we have formulated my gap list we organize them from most favorite to least favorite and then put them on 2 thumbnail charts at the same time we will usually write down the ideal entry prices of my top 3 or 4 favorite gaps so that when the market opens we am very clear about the levels i d like to enter those stocks despite this pre market scanning and organizing it does not guarantee that we will get the entry or pattern we desire however even if we don t get my ideal entry that doesn t mean we will take the stock off the list or ignore it quite the opposite actually now we will pay extra attention making sure to look for an alternate entry after all these are our absolute favorite ideas for the morning session and we don t want to miss them focus and organization are essential here done properly a handsome income can be earned in a very short amount of time every day allowing us to do other things and truly enjoy the life that trading can afford when the market opens we are ready to push the button without hesitation if our favorite ideas provide the entry we are looking for if they don t we will simply wait you must be on your toes and ready at all times during the first 15 30 minutes of the market open because it is very easy to miss a trade by mere seconds in the chart example below you can see that we have chosen a high quality gapping stock and then we simply waited for a high odds pattern on the 2 timeframe the reason the daily chart on cf is compelling is because it is gapping over multiple red bars creating a level of shock value it is also gapping into void above which means there are no prior pivots to the left that might cause selling pressure and lastly it is gapping just enough to clear the consolidation resistance to the left this is the type of gap that will usually garner a very high rating from our professional trading strategies pts rating system now that we have a nice gap our job is to wait for a high odds intra day entry in this case it happened to be a very nice 4 bar play on the 2 chart this is comprised of a wide range bar that shows commitment from the buyers followed by multiple narrow range resting bars that provide a nice tight stop loss and an adequate amount of rest before the stock continue its move higher in this case we were able to make over 1300 in less than 2 minutes and overall earn over 2300 in less than 20 minutes using the organization and focus that i alluded to earlier high odds daily chart high odds intra day pattern powerful results below is another example of a daily chart that was in a strong stage 2 uptrend showing continued strength followed by a small yet powerful bullish gap this stock gapped over multiple pivots with relative strength not shown void above and just enough to get the job done which are all attributes of a highly rated gap per our pts course rating system now that our focus is clear we will simply wait until wfm gives me a high quality intra day entry in this case it happened to be a 3 bar play on the 2 chart somewhat similar to the cf chart from earlier the 2 wide ranged bar showed commitment from the buyers followed by a narrow ranged resting bar that allowed the stock to breath before continuing its move higher into the void above as you can see from the illustration wfm moved more than 1 in less than an hour enabling us to turn a 500 risk into over 4000 in profits that s an 8 1 gain we d say that s a pretty respectable return on your time and your money if you d like to learn more about these patterns as well as how to trade

trading stocks off and on profit wise i did okay but i was clueless when it came to trade management i really didn t know what to do under different scenarios i didn t know if i should take quick profits or shoot for a big move i didn t know how much time and space to give positions then i moved over to options mostly because i lacked the capital to make serious money trading stocks and without intention this turned out to be one of the best paths i ve taken because successfully trading options taught me how to trade stocks this is the second part of a multi part series covering the subject how trading options taught me how to trade stocks if you have not read the first part of this series click here to check it out many new traders are attractive to the potentially big and quick returns offered by high beta stocks that can move 20 in just a couple weeks but these are a death trap for traders who don t know how to manage positions and aren t disciplined enough to take quick losses high reward means high risk and since the name of the game when you re first starting is survival high risk anything should be off the table this was a trap i too fell into wanting the potential kills of hot tech stocks instead of being content with lower beta blue chips but when i switched over to options i didn t have a choice i had to focus on the slower moving blue chips the reason was simple premiums on high beta tech stock were too expensive an at the money call option for a 50 dollar stock was 5 bucks way too steep the stock would have to move 10 just to break even so i focused on established companies with more price history and much higher deltas if a stock moved 5 bucks i wanted to make 4 to my surprise i not only did very well i did better than i had previously done trading more volatile stocks taking the slow and steady approach with slower moving stocks helped my bottom line because i didn t have any big losers sure my upside was more limited orcl wasn t going to rally 20 in a week but my downside was also limited and for a new trader who didn t know how to manage risk risk was somewhat managed for me by trading safer high quality stocks when i switched back to trading stocks i was again attracted to the potential high beta stocks offered but after a handful of losses i reminded myself to stick with quality this is another way trading options molded my stock trading the high premiums that came with high beta stocks forced me to trade established high quality names most traders would benefit doing the same jason leavitt is the
