Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
I hold gbtc for at least a 10%range ...it can move 5-6% in minutes.... I hold it until it pops. It always does .it is just so volatile.
If it dips enough I likely will add 500 more shares ,, 1500 shares is my max I would buy

Done added more shares...

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
MJ,
I'm confused.
I'm showing +4.24% today gain / +0.60% overall gain.
Where does the 10% come into play?

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
I sold around 8.50. But I never said it is up 10%..I think it was up on the day around 6%’. I cleared around 450..the 10% is the stop loss I set on it. I am at the Bronx Zoo now so I will look at the numbers later
Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
So to recap, you're looking for 2% gain (8.30 --> 8.50) or max 10% loss.

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
I usually go for at least 2% I will average down on stuff like this and gold and tlt if it falls
There is always a pop that gets me out when you hold something like gbtc short term after a deep sell off . i only buy gbtc when it has fallen a lot . . I would never buy if it is headed higher and higher.
yesterday
I added a lot more gbtc before the close at 8.03 after it fell enough to do that . My cost was much lower than the 8.30 or so on the first buy

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
Remember this is 2% moves every 1 to 3 days for the most part.
so when you ask if i would risk 5-10% to make 2% ? i sure would because that is over and over over again . on an annualized basis it is very high ..

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
my wife and i are photography buffs ... i think i spend half my life waiting for her in some shape or form ...
she can take so many shots of the the same bird or animal it goes on for quite a while , me , 5 minutes and i am ready to move on , so i keep busy , but i hate typing on that little phone .. my one finger i use just seems to hit all the keys i don't want and that autofill can drive me nuts at times with wrong words ....i will post todays shots as soon as i finish them

If it's any consolation, I think every guy spends half his life waiting on his wife.
Now it sounds like a Seinfeld bit.

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
She is a very good photographer but just like a woman everything has to be just so .... me , a half dozen shots and if I didn’t nail it then on to the next ha ha .
We are usually out shooting at least an hour or two every chance we get ..we come home with a few hundred shots each and keep a dozen

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
Second that regarding typing on a phone. Pure torture for me. Fast as anything on a computer keyboard. About as far down I'll go on typing is on an iPad or iPad mini. Phone is an absolute last resort.mathjak107 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 2:18 pmmy wife and i are photography buffs ... i think i spend half my life waiting for her in some shape or form ...

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
well gold is up now over 7k again since i rebought it , tlt is down though about .50% from where i bought . my inclination is to sell the gold but i am going to hold it a bit longer ...i guess that guarantees it goes down from here ha ha ha

Re: mathjak's daytrading adventures
It would be easier to follow if you standardized and expressed the 7K as a % move as well.mathjak107 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 24, 2019 9:10 amwell gold is up now over 7k again since i rebought it , tlt is down though about .50% from where i bought
