Mentor Mike’s Trades for Tuesday, 5/6/14

Fellow Traders: Despite a fairly consistent bearish market, it took me 6 trades and about 6 hours to earn my Grand-A-Day (specifically, $1,551 – enough extra to average with my light day yesterday).  I had to extend my stop to avoid a loss.  I never recommend that strategy to students, but I have used it […]

Mentor Mike’s Fastest Grand-A-Day Ever!

Fellow Traders: Today, at 5:30am PDT, the Unemployment Rate report came out.  Ever since the recession began in ’07, this report has been the foremost meter of the nation’s economic health.  It can produce a quick, temporary and substantial knee-jerk reaction in the market depending on whether the actual rate is better or worse than […]

Mentor Mike’s Trades for Thursday, 5/1/14

Fellow Traders: Corrective waves on higher time frames make for interesting trading.  I got my Grand- A-Day.  We had it in the Trading Room, too, but I got faked out and gave some back.  Happily we still finished in the money.  My rookie mistake was due to my belief that the bearish pattern we were […]
