be careful

be careful!

this is strictly non-professional ... it's notes.

do you understand breakouts, stops, no stops, dips, waiting out dips?

any money you invest you can lose.

you have to be very effective to make money trading $100 investments, catching big moves, or your commissions eat your profits. you would need ... if you don't already know how to do it, and you're trying to learn here ... to, in fact, learn - what works, what doesn't - from these examples, of which there are, at this writing, only a few.

with $1000 investments, you can make money on small % moves, but your risk is greater, so there's no less need for precision, for that thing, effectiveness, for careful, systematic study of many many examples. this is a system testing record. be extremely realistic about hindsight trades. i wouldn't say i've got it all figured out.

there is a proper way to read the blog, and that's from the bottom to the top. in the side bar, find the earliest year of posts - maybe i'll keep this up for years, who knows - and click it. find the earliest month in the year, and click that. now find the earliest post in the month, and click that.

from there you have to navigate to the next (next earliest) post ... using the inconvenient "earlier post" link at the bottom of the post, or maybe using the side bar.

or, you can create big scrolling pages of posts by clicking the months ... and, of course, the most recent posts, and even actual alerts, would be at the top of the blog ... which you can get to by clicking the blog title.
