I received these comments about December trading with a weekly review:<\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier in one of my daily reviews, I have added a plan change for December:
\nI will lower my tier size to 100 shares on everything besides in-play A-setup stocks.
\nBe more selective than usual.
\nAvoid trading in & out unnecessarily.
\nLock in profits more quickly than I’m used too.
\nIf market is an inside day, reduce the profit target.
\nConsider trailing stops more often.
\nThis is because I felt the market has walked into a period where volume has decreased, where trades tend to have less real moves that we can get out of. People can get chopped out easily during December. That’s why I need to be extra selective than usual.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trading has been a little slow and boring of late. \u00a0Good thinking above to scale back and be more selective. \u00a0This is a nice holiday trading, slow trading, low volume adjustment. \u00a0One caution comment for traders to consider. \u00a0Lean towards preparing for a slow market but always be prepared for an unusual market of opportunity. \u00a0Don’t get caught online shopping your way towards the close of the year and miss opportunity trades.<\/p>\n
