listening to me or not listening to anyone. I think that’s | |||
a really costly mistake because, unless — at some point once I | |||
finish all the course and all the other projects I’ve got going | |||
on, I probably will talk more — you heard me say 14 is probably | |||
a swing buy, good for at least four points, stuff like | |||
that. That’s okay because it’s clear: You buy above | |||
14, you put a stop below 14, and you place a limit order to get | |||
out four points higher. So that’s pretty good.</font></p> | |||

the bars on the chart, the market’s doing this, you can only | |||

would not worry too much about what I say or about what anybody | |||
else says. You sometimes hear the adage, “You teach a man | |||

trading, right? Until you’re completely comfortable taking full | |||
responsibility, it’s really hard to make a living. And | |||
everyone — especially if you’re starting out and your account is | |||
not big, it’s easier to say, “Oh my gosh, I am really | |||
desperate. I got to make money doing this. It took | |||
me so much time to save up this money. I don’t want to lose my | |||
other job while I start this job”. There’s just a lot of | |||
personal issues involved, and I can tell you that I believe it’s | |||
extremely difficult to make money, if you have to make money.</font></p> | |||

and probability</a>. A person who’s desperate to make | |||
money only sees one variable: Risk. “I can’t afford | |||
to lose,” right? One point, two points, “I — I got to get | |||
out,” right? Even though the market might call for a stop | |||
that’s five points above. So you sell the 58 close and you say, | |||
“I can only risk a point or two,” and then it starts to go up | |||
here and you get out, right? If you take – if you’re | |||
selling the 58 close, your stop is up there, period. | |||
That’s it, right? If you’re buying the 17 close, your stop | |||
may be down here. I think more around here. So | |||
that’s it; so if you take that trade, that’s where your stop is.</font></p> | |||

Those things you can say because you said the whole package; you | |||
said where the stop is, you said where the limit order is, you | |||
said where the entry is. But most of the trades I take | |||

I’ll take finesse trades where there’s some unusual situation | |||
where the risk is really not all that big and the reward is big. | |||
Or the actual risk is not big, the initial risk is big. I’m | |||
using a wide stop, but I’m never going to let the stop be | |||
hit. In terms of actual risk, the actual risk is small and | |||
the reward is big. So I don’t know. I hope I’m answering | |||
your question, but I really think looking for a God or savior to | |||
protect you, so that you don’t lose money is not going do it. | |||
That’s not what you need. What you need is practice and | |||
you got to get a lot of trades under your belt before you start | |||
feeling comfortable that you can do this. And depending on | |||
someone else to hold your hand as you do it, that’s just not | |||
going to work.</font></p> | |||

remember I once hired a tutor. The guy, I still see him out | |||
there, every now and then, at the shows. I think he’s a | |||
total fraud, but he’s still out there and 25 years ago I paid | |||
him, like, $3,000 to come in for the day. And I lost $3,000 with | |||
him sitting by my side that day. So I paid him $3,000, I | |||
lost $3,000. And I started pressing him, “You’re here with | |||
me. You’re not trading. How many days do you go out | |||
and teach? How many days do you trade?” Anyway, what | |||
it came down to was he says he never trades, and so here he is | |||
teaching people how to trade and he’s not a trader. The | |||
guy, he was a fraud. The guy’s a fraud. He’s not in | |||
the game. I was desperate, willing to pay anything to get | |||
somebody to show me how to do it. But even if he showed me one | |||
or two things that day, that still would not have been enough | |||
because those two things would not be there tomorrow, or the | |||
next day, or the next day. There’s a lot more to a trade | |||
than just setups.</font></p> | |||

fact, you hear me regularly say — I’ve already said it a few | |||
minutes ago: most of the time, if you use a correct stop and a | |||
profit target, you can make money buying or selling. It’s | |||
obvious when the market is like this, right? You can buy | |||
or sell. You can buy below anything, sell above anything, and | |||
just keep scalping. But most of the time you can do that so you | |||
don’t need someone to say, “Oh Al, buy this,” or “Al, Al, sell | |||
that.” And the stops are always obvious as well, | |||
right? So if you’re buying anywhere in here, your stop is | |||
down here. If you’re selling anywhere in here, your stop | |||
is up there. After this breakout, if you’re selling | |||
anywhere below here, your stop is up here. </font></p> | |||

much better if you can scale in, so you buy and you scale in | |||

the end. Here, we’re probably going down. We stop at | |||
that high. Theoretically, if you sold anywhere down here — | |||
let’s say you did not get out above 12, which you should have, | |||
right, your stop is up here and you look to scale in as soon as | |||
you get a bear bar to sell more. </font></p> | |||

is really not that complicated and I think traders learn — if | |||
you just listen to me during the day, I’m telling you the stop | |||
goes here, and you say, “Well, I don’t want to risk that | |||
much.” Well, don’t take the trade, but if you’re going to | |||
take the trade, that’s where the stop goes. And if at the | |||
end of the day you sit down and listen to what I’m saying, | |||
you’ll say, “Hey, wait a minute, what Al said made sense. | |||
You know, if I did buy there and if I did put that stop there or | |||
if I did sell there and I did put that stop there, I would have | |||
made money.” I have to risk more than I wanted to risk, | |||
but I would have made money. So if you can trade small | |||
enough, you can do it. It’s much easier to make money if | |||
you can trade small, and use the correct stops, and not worry | |||
about losing.</font></p> | |||

I’m talking too much and I’m losing my voice. Okay, I hope | |||
everybody has a good night. This is I think an exhaustive | |||
sell climax. This is huge. I think, even though on the | |||
daily chart today is a pretty good entry bar for the bears, I | |||
still think it’s going to be a two or three-day pullback, and | |||
that in March, in the first week or two, we’ll get above here. | |||
But I think there’ll be sellers up there. A lot of bulls | |||
are looking at this and they’re selling, but some of those bulls | |||
are using stops way, way up here thinking that we may go up a | |||
little higher. I still think the odds are we’re going to | |||
go above Friday’s high. But I would not be surprised if we did | |||
not, but I still think we’ll get one more push up. And that will | |||
probably be it, maybe a wedge, bear flag, one push, two pushes, | |||
pullback, and then three pushes. Two or three weeks from now, | |||
and that will probably be it.</font></p> | |||
