Delta, that's good you went flat!!!

That's an old rule to be flat for each weekend.
I also want to put money in for long term, but I'm waiting before I buy up stocks.

If you are coming off a loss, just check your emotions: ask yourself if this is revenge trading? Realize what funds you do have, and how life changing it can be. And realize there's literally hundreds of ways to invest it, and still make a solid 3%+ each year (low return, low risk, preserve wealth).


What I do after losing: Immediately observe my emotions. Walk away. Lock up 50% of capital into fixed income CD for 3 months, boom immediate protection! Then I go back trading the next day on the smallest position possible, work my way up scalping small gains.
I don't have a small account but I sub-divide into smaller accounts/chunks and force myself to trade good on a small chunk before I "unlock" the rest of my buying power. And I lock profits into non-liquid investments in real estate land, and I can't immediately sell the land, so it's a good store of wealth.

I'm realizing with my age - this game is a MARATHON, not a sprint. And it's a long race.

added 100 @28.760. this corona-hysteria is just insane: mortality is only 3%, even the flu is more dangerous. most cases are mild and well treated, those who died had serious health problems before. a charlatan like igrok posting links with "112.000 dead", just in order to make his "when the moon falls to earth" prophecy more likely. forex facebook, fool factory...

It can get worse CERTAINLY. I am stocking up on a new shotgun, ammunition, food, water, toilet paper, diapers for my baby and more.

Over here, very few sick, very very few, but the PANIC is real. The store is running out of supplies!!!
So I will hunker-down likely, and breath fresh air and stay away from crowds and public areas.
I am preparing. And when it's time to buy stocks, I will, but not before food, weapons, water, and things for baby boy. $50 for diapers today.

ps looking to exit my short scalp soon. Not in profit yet. Looks like some room for 50 points downside. I'll take what I can get.

exited short, 24540... I had accidentally sold TEN contracts short, woops! I was seeing if I could get filled on 10 and I cancelled it but it filled before the cancel went thru lol.

There are 68 contracts sitting up at 24555 with big gaps between the price levels... this is not liquid right now so I'm DONE till NYSE. Done. +$100 minus commissions.

this is ridiculous: first you wrote you entered 1 contract long and qualified that one as a short term scalp. next post you say it is a short, looking for 50 points downside. and last but not least, when "closing" it, it´s not 1 but 10 contracts all of a sudden. on ignore. i´ll give you some time to think about it.

just went long Dow, 1 contract 24,584 not very confident, just throwing darts at the board, target 24680 SL=nothing hard set atm, 24540 area perhaps. I will NOT be adding to this position. Short term scalp.

If I am not mistaken we have a stock market crash in progress now. First stop under 23,000 and second stop under 22,000. Do not buy this dip now is my $.02. Expect another 5% drop from here as well on top of the current 5% drop you now see in Futures. Last support level from 25,111 from where FED intervened taken out already.
