...or is it used?
Was watching $STEM later in the day because it was holding up well and was looking for a late day run. But, just because the pattern is there does not automatically mean a short squeeze or move up into the close for an overnight hold.
Sometimes a 'no trade' is a good trade. It takes a while to turn off your 'automatic' button to think that you have to trade because you have an account open. Negatory morning glory. You still have to be patient to wait for your ticker to give you the signal(s) to enter. No signal = no trade. Jumping to the chatroom to see what everyone else is trading and thinking you have to jump in that stock is not the best idea either. Stick to your plan and your watchlist. Checking on runners that happen for whatever reason is fine but even so, you still have to figure out why and if it's worth waiting for a pullback to get in.
Follow your tickers and follow your plan.

with trading. eventually, that anxiety goes away...but not totally. there is still that risk factor about losing money but I think that is a good thing because it keeps us grounded. we get taught in trading that we don't know everything when that two or three win winning streak is ended by one loss that takes away all those profits.
this is a learning journey like writing a book that is never finished. ya see...rambling again... ;)
What software you're using?
This is the ThinkOrSwim platform and it may have something to do with my 2am insomnia right now...
