Ok.
Thanks for this great article, I am personally staring to learn MP. My question is at what point would you consider an entry point for a for breakout of VA …..let say in my case since I trade oil. Value Area High is 95.50, and it goes to 95.80, exactly where above 95.50 you consider a breakout?…..how high?……..and do you at least wait for two TPO’s?

Thanks in advance

Brian,

I never have more than 10% of my account at risk ant any given time. If you have a small account, you can up this to maybe 30%, but that’s how I manage total risk.

Hi Adam,

I wonder if you set a daily limit on your risk capital across all trades, especially if the trading account is small, eg. $5000, to start with.

Regards
Brian

This guy has not obviously traded this. Your bid ask spreads beat you up. Then the broker takes your money on short sale fees which keep coming each day for 3 business days after the trade.

banks do it because they are BANKS

Not good. did it done it.

Very Cool site, just found it today!

Had my first few ‘calls’ filled last night & have put in my contingent stops & profit targets. Looking forward to digging into your content on the site.

Have converted to finviz as MSN are retiring their screener.

Have you got any articles on picking stocks that are about to die a death? I’m interested in playing with some puts.
