Hitting the Pause Button and Exploring New Trading Avenues

The $500 account challenge is taking a short detour! With Jay, our strategy mastermind, currently out of commission (vacation overseas), and the market feeling a bit like a roller coaster, we've decided to hit the pause button on our swing trading strategy.

It's not that we doubt our ability to trade these plays independently; it's more about maximizing our learning experience and capitalizing on the current market conditions. This strategy has been a whirlwind of learning over the past 50 days, and having Jay's guidance has been invaluable. Much like driving without a seatbelt, while technically possible, it's not the safest or most comfortable option.

So, what's next? We'll be shifting our focus to day trading options, a strategy we've employed in the past. Additionally, we'll be diving deeper into a new day trading strategy involving the 200 MA, Stochastic Oscillator, and RSI (check out the discord for more on this strategy). To hone our skills without risking real capital, we'll be utilizing TraderSync's Market Replay feature for practice.

While we're taking a break from our swing trading watchlist, it's worth noting that both $UBER and $M have triggered entry signals. Although we didn't enter these positions, it's exciting to see the strategy working as intended. Those who did take advantage of these setups have been rewarded with gains so far.

$UBER Day Trade

I entered a day trade on $UBER today, using the new strategy I've been talking about in the discord. $UBER was trading around $63.21 when we entered the CALL. I went over the whole trade in the discord with live updates.

I tried averaging down on my contract when the price hit the 200 MA, but I didn't get filled.

I was able to get filled a little later on in the trade, bringing my average down to .90 on two contracts.

I was able to hit my target of $1.04 around 30 minutes into the trade, selling both of my contracts there for a 15% gain. This brought my portfolio back above $500, as I broke below $500 last week due to forgetting to set stop losses on a few plays.

Those contracts ended up running as high as $2.40 (160%+ potential gain) but I sold at my target and hit my goal so was happy!
