Gym&#8230;..Trading&#8230;&#8230;Laundry.  And yet some on our desk did not catch most of the move.  Why?<\/p>\n<p>1) All levels are not created equal.  A two day high is not the same level as the 8 out of 10 RIG 56 level.  Before the trade measure how important the level is for you.<br \/>\n2) I heard some of <em>I didn&#8217;t want to chase RIG <\/em>.  Some traders missed the breakout above 56 and were not comfortable paying much above the whole.  When a level is so important consider taking on more risk with your entry because there is more upside as well.<br \/>\n3) Do you have The Nibble Trade in your Playbook?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/nilbble.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7025\" title=\"nilbble\" src=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/nilbble-285x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/nilbble-285x300.png 285w, \/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/nilbble.png 396w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you missed the immediate buy above 56 and RIG finds 35c.  There is risk that the trade will run away from you.  You may not have much chance to enter the trade.  And you should always consider your risk when making a trade.  But when the stock runs away from you there is the constant hesitance to enter because you missed a better price.  There is a paralysis of obsession regretting an entry at a better price.  We need to find a way to overcome this with our best potential set ups like RIG above 56.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A solution is The Nibble Trade.  Buy a little.  But a little a little higher than with what normally you would be comfortable.  Now you are in and you can focus on the next bigger trade and not that you missed the buy.  Being in the stock even for just a little gives you a better feel for the stock than being flat.  You are more likely to catch the Pullback Trade to 57 (A) or the Pullback Trade to 58.15ish (B) or 59.15ish (C).  It is trading nature to watch something more closely that you have bought than something you want to buy. The Nibble Trade sets up the real trade for the real move for real size.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/RIG1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7028\" title=\"RIG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/RIG1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"526\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/RIG1.png 822w, \/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/RIG1-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now as to why Vinnie &#8220;smushed&#8221; with Angelina for that you are gonna have to ask Jersey Shore.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Bellafiore<br \/>\nAuthor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B003VIWRJA?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=smtr-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B003VIWRJA\">One Good Trade: Inside the Highly Competitive World of Proprietary Trading<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=smtr-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B003VIWRJA\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIG was the best stock intraday. 56 has been a huge level.
