The weekend is a time for study and preparation for the next trading session.<\/p>\n

On our desk, one experienced trader, who went (naked) short into TWTR earningss, reviewed this trade with another veteran firm trader. \u00a0This other trader expressed the same trade with options and thus limited his risk. \u00a0The trader who was naked short made more, but recognized the trader using options structured his trade better. \u00a0The naked short trader proclaimed, \u201cThis trade was a layup after FB earnings.\u201d \u00a0There was a better way to structure this \u201clayup\u201d trade.<\/p>\n

One diligent intern shared that the float (or almost all of the float) has been accumulated in \u00a0AWX. \u00a0A form 3 was filed and copies of it were dispersed to the trading desk. \u00a0One Team Leader spelled out he would attack this opportunity on Monday. \u00a0Another savy trader, with research to support his point, shared potentially easier trades with sympathy plays. \u00a0On Saturday night they were warming up to trade their best next week.<\/p>\n

I am reading Daily Report Cards from traders at the firm and 7-figure trades outside. \u00a0Traders are outlining solutions for improved performance.<\/p>\n

There is a constructive conversation on Twitter about handling risk from my post Stop losses for stock riches<\/a>. \u00a0 The next wave of CPTs are doing the work to become successful.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you will find value studying some of our trading videos on YouTube.<\/p>\n
