How to Bounce Back From Failure in Trading

This is one blog post that I hope you never have to read. Why? Because it’s all about failure. The word “failure” has tons of connotations. Shame. Guilt. Disappointment.  Anger. These are things that we try to avoid at all costs. If the world were perfect, you would never run into failure in your trading career. I hope that you will never be in a hole that you have to struggle to climb out of. I sincerely wish you ...

Trading Equities versus Eminis

Eminis are futures contracts for various indexes, commodities and currencies. Eminis have their own trading personalities just as equities, and just as GOOG trades differently than WMT, each of the Emini contracts has their own trading personality profile. There is no *right* market to trade just as there is no one trading style that meets the needs of all traders and market conditions. IMO one of the first keys to being a consistently profitable trader is ...

Technical Plays

Why I Traded MCP Today

My primary stock on the Open was GMCR. It is a classic momentum stock that had fresh news and a large pre-market gap. This type of setup is usually my #1 choice to trade on the Open if available. I have internalized the possible price patterns for this setup having traded it hundreds of times over the years. My second choice was MCP a former high flyer that had announced they were buying a company in ...

Trading Theory

A Tape Trade–URBN

I make trading decisions based on 3 factors: Tape (order flow), Technicals (trend, support, resistance) and Catalysts (News). The least understood of the three is the Tape. It is a skill that takes thousands of screen hours to develop. But once developed it is a skill that enhances the risk/reward of your trades and often enables you trade with larger size with a minimal increase of risk. Yesterday I was trading URBN that had released earnings. ...

Trading Psychology

When do I move on from a stock?

It's time to move on, time to get going What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing But under my feet, baby, grass is growing It's time to move on, it's time to get going Tom Petty Bella, Yesterday I got absolutely chopped up in JPM. I could not believe how much I lost in such a short amount of time getting whippedand shaken out of my position. My important level was 36, my gameplan was to get short under ...

So Simple Yet Missed By So Many

I have been inspired to write a quick post from a tweet sent out earlier from @apextrader. He mentions that he got long YOKU around 32.50 and that it has gone back up but been a fairly bumpy ride. Why did he make that trade? And why are so few able to execute this trade? YOKU recently was beaten down with the rest of the Chinese stocks. It finally started to move sideways and then had ...

Katz’s Korner- Do traders need more testosterone?

I received this email from a new trader: You are probably already aware of this correlation between testosterone and performance as it relates to trading.  It's interesting to consider though as direct empirical evidence for the notion that Division I athletes have a proclivity to be good traders, E.g - Adam Guren.  It's something I tried to keep in mind when I interviewed for interns at my last firm. As trader's I guess one should strive to ...
