One of the most valuable skills a trader can strive towards is the ability to nail both the upside and the downside of a chart. I hear some traders say they ‘only buy puts on this stock’ or ‘only buy calls on that stock’ … but this is a dead wrong approach. You’ve...
May was a difficult month for me. There’s no sugarcoating it … I forced some stupid trades and took painful losses. Heading into June, I need to regain composure and confidence. I know myself. The best way for me to bounce back from poor performance is to wait...
Happy Friday, Evolvers! There have been a lot of juicy trading opportunities over the past week, but I haven’t been capitalizing… I’ve missed some ideal setups, like Nvidia Corporation’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) textbook rejection at the $400 level. In hindsight, this trade was...
