The hidden danger of intraday stock trading few talk about: 🚨 halts. When a stock halts intraday: • Trading freezes • No stop-loss gets filled • Reopens at any price Example: Yesterday $BETR halted → reopened +78%. Top case in Russell 3000 over last decade (only stocks >$1) → +300% gap. 1/3 of your account in the stock → gone. How to protect yourself? 👉 Halts hit mostly <$10 stocks (but not only). 👉 Only real defense = strict risk allocation. I risk just ~1% per trade. A nightmare halt becomes a scratch, not account death. Risk mgmt > stop-losses. Always. Most traders learn this too late. Share so others don’t. #RiskManagement #Stops
Buy the dip in an uptrend📈 It’s just the complete opposite of the shorting approach shared previously and has worked exceptionally well in this lockout rally. Many stocks offered low-risk entries when they pull back to the support levels and rebound immediately. I like to call these ‘handshake’ entries. --- Learning this entry tactic isn't hard. The real challenge is integrating new knowledge into the existing ones. Since last year, there are more and more examples of stocks pullback and rebound, violating the LOD and go straight up afterwards. "But I'm not buying at volatility contractions/tight ranges. I'm not setting my stops at LOD. I'm breaking the existing rules." Path dependence deters us from making changes. All the changes began after I took the first pullback buy on $AFRM in November last year. I want to write more but I dunno where to start.
