It has become an everyday word……backtesting. You can hardly avoid seeing it, because so many marketing efforts are convincing traders during this choppy market that backtesting is the magic bullet for successful trading. I’m not so sure I agree. Read more »

Some stocks on the move are simply best avoided.

We’ve looked at MOVI twice (December 6th and February 13th) as a downtrending stock to avoid. Cheap stocks can be tough to short sell because they don’t move very much and they become more ripe for takeovers, which you sure don’t want to get caught on the wrong side of!

But sometimes stocks move up at such a rate that Read more »

Although this blog has historically been kind of a one-way street with my thoughts going out to you, I’d like to change up the dynamic and get some more interaction and feedback on your thoughts!

I correspond frequently with members of my stock pick service, but I’d also like to interact with more of you blog readers! Many of you email me directly through the contact form, but why not just have some more open discussion right here on the blog to allow everyone to learn simultaneously?

So, let’s make this a 2-way street! I’ll definitely still be putting up some informative-type of posts, but your feedback is always welcomed here anytime (regardless of the post type). If you disagree with me, feel free to say it! (I sure don’t have all the answers, even if I’d like my wife to think so). If you have a question or have some trading thoughts, throw your 2 cents into the mix!

There’s a comment area for every post, so feel free to participate. Comments are moderated to help curb spam (there’s too much these days!), but don’t let that stop you - I’ll respond to every one of them. I want to learn from you too, so let’s mix it up a little bit!

My buddy Dave at Stocktickr let me in the door a little while back to check out his new product. I was very pleased with what I saw, and even handed out several invitations to traders I know for the beta release which we were using for the past couple of months.

Stocktickr is not only a great tool for tracking your trades, but the journal feature really sets this product apart from the others. Using Stocktickr’s journal, you’ll get comprehensive reports about your trading that you might not otherwise ever know about. It will keep track of your performance, but will also calculate expectancy and winning percentage right there for you. This is an excellent tool for taking a realistic look at your trading performance and learning from your past results.

Stocktickr also allows users to view the trades and timing of other traders, thereby making a community of traders. You can even “tag” your trades with custom names like “new high” or “volume jump” to help you see better which kinds of trades are working for you. I highly recommend checking out Stocktickr, it is a wonderful trading tool with the ability to pay huge dividends on your trading when used the right way. And Dave, keep up the great work!
