$META long or short?Indecisive on this ticker. I like what Zuck is trying to do. This chart looks pretty nice. I’m seeing upside into the earnings and maybe this earnings NASDAQ:META will go up $50+ (hopeium). Let me know what you guys think. I want to see 700’s and honestly it could be insane, yet not so insane in this current market, to try and hit 800. Look at other tickers, NASDAQ:CRWD lost $200 in what a month? Then regained $200 or so in 2-3 months? NASDAQ:NVDA speaks for itself, NASDAQ:MSTR , these large MC names can do wild things. Wallstreet

$OLLI bearish rising wedgeDoing some more homework here, NASDAQ:OLLI seems to be in a bearish rising wedge and broke out of it on the downside. Unusual flow I seen while doing my due diligence coming in sweeps and At Ask and Above Ask which indicates aggressive buying; looking to get in at any cost. I am seeing 100% Buys vs. Sells, flow is bearish sentiment, sweeps and roughly a total of $200K in premium. The stock jumped off earnings with revenue missing by over a 1% but earnings was below 1%. The dates here are Jan. 17th, 2025 and a Feb. 21st, 2025. I will be giving these a shot for a small bargain. Will update. WSL

$BA eyes in the sky.. Off lows in November 13th to 15th, NYSE:BA Boeing has soared 33% ($44) in 30 or so trading days. Off recent news this weekend, 12/28-12/29, three planes crashed which two were Boeing made and all had deaths from said crashes. Seeming how this stock has risen intensely and quickly I think this could be a good spot to short it within 30 days or so expiration. It may be down in premarket tomorrow, 12/30, I'm hoping I can get a piece of the action. Short term puts here and a possible long for 2025. Bullish momentum for the last 3-4 weeks, RSI is over 65, it happened to drop from $200 zone into its lows in November. My price targets are $175 and $170. WSL

$NVDA inverted h&s 4H daily. Short term play. I grabbed 200 cons of 150c for 1/3/2025 avg. @.17. I may be crazy but I’m fun. Should see a burp to $140. $135 very very strong. Low volume today and the whole market reacted the same way so not really too worried. Looking to see where we are New Year’s Eve with a shortened week once again but the tendency seems to be super boost before a holiday. Day before Thanksgiving and day before Christmas the market went big green but we have a full day NYE not half. Also within that tendency there seems to be some type of dip prior. Interesting to watch. Strong close 12/27. We’ll see, we’ll see. I’m manifesting $140 Monday and $144 Tuesday and I’d sell 150 contracts. I’ll be in touch. WSL

$SMCI slippy downside; $29 targetWith the rebalancing of NASDAQ, removal of NASDAQ:SMCI after it got a pump from it submitting financial reports to keep it from being delisted the big dogs realize this fraudulent company isn’t worth the risk, investment and headache. I expect below $30. Easily can be down 5% this week and that’s modest. Official date is December 23rd. I will be entering $30p for a swing. There was tons of buying at sub $20’s. There will be tons of selling here. How do people invest in a company who can’t report on time, falsify numbers, auditing team quits on them? Sometimes you don’t play the charts, you play the god damn news. Look at NYSE:UNH , look at my past post & chart. That thing got smoked. NASDAQ:MRNA is next. WALLSTREETLOSER

$UNH Bad News Longs.NYSE:UNH Recent news should (I believe will) put an end to the madness imaginary run from the corrupt world of health insurance. News circulating NYSE:UNH was a top denier of benefits and claims, only will get worse. A CEO involved in a hit sh**ting? They won't find the "guy" and I assume they will make an arrest but not the actual one who did it. Mmn, conspiracy, yes. But, similar pattern evolving on the chart as well, almost like it all makes sense. Might be a good time to short the health/insurance sector.. maybe.. BlueCross BlueShield just cut back on paying for patients anesthesia in NY, CT, and MO. They are against the people.. biggest ponzi-scheme ever. $555 target, break $500 I see $530. A lot of bearish flow poured in today as well. Months out puts. Not financial advice. wall street .. loser

$MU uptrend tapping older highs as new lows?Thinking about starting a small position on NASDAQ:MU $100c for Jan. 2025 for a scalp into earnings call Dec. 18th. Bear vs. Bull flow seems mixed but I see, in my opinion, enough actionable call option flow to take this trade on top of a good looking technical layout. The chart shows me uptrend and bouncing off it's double tops from previous years at $95. Can be utilized as a new clear support. Looks like it's creating a symmetrical triangle off the highs of $145 in June 2024 which currently puts the stock at almost a 37% retrace from that time.

10 Reasons New Traders FailOvertrading Overtrading often occurs when a trader feels compelled to be constantly active in the market, mistakenly equating frequency with profitability. It's an emotional reaction, driven by factors like the thrill of making trades, a desire to recoup losses quickly, or the erroneous belief that high trading volume automatically equates to increased profits. Overtrading can easily lead to unnecessary and costly mistakes, both in terms of the transactions themselves and the psychological stress associated with constant activity. Moreover, overtrading can lead to higher transaction costs due to increased brokerage fees and the potential for slippage, which is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed. Additionally, overtrading can cause trader fatigue, where one becomes so engulfed in making trades that they lose sight of their broader strategy and make ill-informed decisions. Traders need to avoid the overactivity trap and focus on careful, thought-out trades based on research and analysis. Chasing Hot Tips Chasing hot tips can be alluring for both new and experienced traders. The promise of a quick profit based on so-called "insider information" can be hard to resist. However, trading on rumors or unverified information is fraught with danger. The information could be incorrect, misconstrued, or already priced into the market, which could lead to losses rather than the anticipated profit. In addition, relying on hot tips can divert a trader's focus from developing their own analytical skills. Instead of learning how to interpret market data, understand company fundamentals, or analyze industry trends, they become reliant on the advice of others. This makes their trading success dependent on factors outside of their control. Traders should focus on honing their own research and analytical skills, which allows for greater control over their trading decisions and independence from unreliable tips. Ignoring Risk Management Risk management is a key component of successful trading. Traders who ignore risk management rules can experience severe losses, even if they have a sound trading strategy. One common form of risk management is the use of stop-loss orders. These orders allow traders to limit their losses by setting a predetermined exit point for a trade should the market move against their position. Another aspect of risk management is diversification. Diversification involves spreading your investments across various assets, sectors, or geographies to reduce the risk of a single investment or group of investments performing poorly. Concentrating too much capital in a single trade or investment increases the risk of significant losses. Furthermore, allocating an appropriate amount of capital to each trade is also a crucial risk management strategy. Even experienced traders can make incorrect market predictions, and it's important to ensure that a single bad trade does not wipe out a significant portion of the trading capital. Emotional Trading Emotional trading is one of the most common pitfalls for traders. Fear and greed are powerful emotions that can significantly impact trading decisions. Fear can cause traders to panic and sell their positions at a loss during market downturns, while greed can make traders overconfident, leading them to hold onto winning positions too long or take on risky trades in the hope of higher profits. Impatience is another emotional trap that can lead to overtrading or premature entry and exit from positions. Trading requires patience to wait for the right trading opportunities and to allow profitable trades to reach their full potential. Emotional decisions often lead to poor trading outcomes and can be mitigated by following a strict trading plan and using tools like stop-loss and take-profit orders. Moreover, learning to manage emotions is an ongoing process for traders. Techniques such as meditation, regular breaks, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help manage stress levels and keep emotions in check. It's also crucial to review trades regularly and learn from both successes and failures. Lack of Trading Plan Having a well-defined trading plan is crucial for trading success. The plan should detail the trader's financial goals, risk tolerance, criteria for entering and exiting trades, and strategies for different market conditions. Without a clear trading plan, traders risk making impulsive decisions, veering off their initial strategy, and potentially suffering significant losses. A trading plan acts as a roadmap, guiding the trader through the market's volatile landscape. It can help maintain discipline, particularly in stressful market conditions, by providing a predefined framework for making decisions. This prevents reactive decision-making based on short-term market movements or emotional reactions. A well-crafted trading plan should also be flexible, allowing the trader to adapt to changing market conditions. Regularly reviewing and updating the plan can help traders stay aligned with their long-term goals and ensure that their strategies are still effective. Using Excessive Leverage Leverage can be a double-edged sword in trading. While it can amplify potential profits by allowing traders to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital, it can also magnify losses. Traders who use excessive leverage can find themselves facing losses that exceed their initial investment, leading to significant financial stress. Understanding the implications of leverage is crucial. Traders must be aware that while leverage can magnify profits, it also increases the potential for losses. Therefore, it's essential to manage leverage carefully and consider it as part of the overall risk management strategy. Furthermore, traders should consider their risk tolerance and the current market conditions before deciding on the level of leverage to use. In more volatile markets, using high leverage can be particularly risky. A conservative approach to leverage can help traders to navigate the markets more safely. Failing to Adapt The financial markets are dynamic and continuously changing, influenced by a myriad of factors including economic indicators, geopolitical events, corporate news, and investor sentiment. Traders who fail to adapt their strategies to changing market conditions can find themselves on the wrong side of the market, leading to potential losses. Staying informed about global and industry-specific news can help traders to anticipate market trends and adjust their strategies accordingly. Moreover, utilizing a range of analytical tools, including both fundamental and technical analysis, can provide insights into potential market shifts. However, it's important to balance the need to adapt with the benefits of maintaining a consistent trading strategy. Constantly changing strategies can lead to overtrading and inconsistency. Therefore, while it's crucial to adapt to significant market changes, it's equally important to stick to a well-defined trading plan and avoid knee-jerk reactions to short-term market fluctuations. Lack of Education and Practice Trading is a complex activity that requires a broad range of skills and knowledge. A lack of education and practice can leave traders ill-equipped to navigate the markets and can lead to costly mistakes. Understanding market mechanics, trading platforms, and various trading strategies is crucial for anyone hoping to trade successfully. Education should be an ongoing process for traders. The financial markets are constantly evolving, and successful traders are those who continually learn and adapt. This includes understanding economic indicators, developing technical analysis skills, and keeping up to date with market news. Practice is equally important. Using demo accounts or paper trading allows traders to test their strategies and gain experience without risking real money. These platforms simulate real trading conditions, providing an opportunity for traders to familiarize themselves with different trading situations and understand how they would react. Not Setting Realistic Expectations Setting unrealistic expectations about trading profits can lead to disappointment and may encourage risky trading behavior. It's important for traders to understand that trading involves substantial risk, and achieving consistent profits is challenging and requires a significant amount of time, effort, and discipline. While it's natural to aim for high returns, traders should also focus on risk management and capital preservation. Recognizing that losses are part of trading and learning how to manage them effectively is a vital part of achieving long-term trading success. In addition, traders should be patient and adopt a long-term perspective. It's unlikely to make substantial profits overnight, and attempting to do so can lead to overtrading or using excessive leverage. By setting realistic goals and maintaining discipline, traders can improve their chances of achieving sustainable profits over the long term. Herd Mentality Herd mentality refers to traders' tendency to follow the crowd rather than making independent decisions based on their own analysis. This can lead to inflated prices in the case of buying frenzies, or plummeting prices during panic selling. Either scenario can result in significant losses for traders who join the herd too late. It's crucial for traders to conduct their own research and analysis and to be confident in their trading decisions. While it can be helpful to be aware of market sentiment and trends, blindly following the crowd can lead to poor trading outcomes. Moreover, what works for one trader may not work for another due to differences in risk tolerance, investment horizons, and financial goals. Therefore, it's important for traders to develop their own trading strategies and to stick to their trading plan, regardless of what other market participants are doing. In conclusion, while the road to trading success is often filled with challenges and obstacles, the wisdom gained from understanding these potential pitfalls can significantly augment a trader's journey. The discipline and self-awareness fostered by managing emotions, sticking to a well-crafted plan, and avoiding the temptation to follow the herd will not only enhance trading success but also contribute to personal growth and emotional intelligence. Balancing the courage to take calculated risks with the humility to learn from mistakes fosters resilience. This resilience, paired with an insatiable appetite for learning and adapting, forms the bedrock of a successful trader's mindset. With these tools at one's disposal, navigating the turbulent waters of the financial market becomes a fulfilling endeavor, offering both financial rewards and valuable life skills.
