  • Place limit order to exit the position in the profit target range. If the price action warrants an early exit, just do it.

trading rules and discipline

4. Build Rules and Discipline

  • Don’t over trade or revenge trade i.e. try to make up for the losses in the day. You will probably lose more.
  • Be consistent with entries and exits. Make it a habit to take the trade when it meets your criteria and manage it like a hawk.
  • Once you’ve reached your daily goal, stop trading. Otherwise you will lose it all, and, some more.

How to reach $X/day goal?

First, trade small size like 200 shares and look for $0.25 profit resulting in $50/trade. Repeat the process with another trade. This will gross $100/day. Be flexible with the profit target but try to do this with 2 trades with 200 shares each.

Once you’ve mastered this after 100’s of trades, you can consider increasing trading size to 400, 500, etc. shares. The method stays the same. You are now taking advantage of the multiplying factor.
400 * $0.25 = $100/trade. Repeat this on second and third trade to get to $300/day.

Increase trade size (no. of shares) only after you’ve consistently meet your goal. If things are not working out, reduce the trade size.

By following these steps and being disciplined and patient in your approach to trading, you can learn to trade stocks based on email alerts and potentially achieve your investment goals. However, it’s important to remember that investing in the stock market carries inherent risks, and you should never invest more than you can afford to lose.
