Market Order vs Limit Order | Rookie Trader Journal 17 Jun 2021 - Bought TCOM

Is it better to buy market or limit? When to use which?

Go with a limit order when:
  • You want to specify your price. 
  • You want to trade a stock with a large bid-ask spread (more than 5 cents)
  • You’re trading a high number of shares (more than 100)
Go with a market order when:
  • You want a quick execution at any cost. 
  • You’re trading stock with a narrow bid-ask spread (typically a penny)
  • You’re trading only a few shares (less than 100)

How's my purchasing power today?

  • I can buy 2 stocks using Moomoo. 
Any stocks in my Moomoo watchlist to buy? 
  • TCOM. Bought at $37.37. 


Any tips from TraderTV Live?
  • None 

Which stock in hand can I sell?
  • ADVM. Bought $4. Stop $3.47. Target $4.40. 
  • METX. Bought $1.60. Stop $1.53. Target $1.90.
  • AAPL. Bought $125. Target $138 or cut at KDJ dead fork. 
  • VISA. Bought $233.27. Target $256 or cut at KDJ dead fork. 

How to track medical biotech stocks, meme stocks, and penny stocks... As well as any popping stock?
  • New strategy using Moomoo.    
  • Started on 7 June 2021. 
  • Scan Trade Heat list to look for 3 signals.
  • 1st signal - Buy on KDJ Golden Crossing
  • 2nd signal - Confirm uptrend with SAR and MA. 
  • 3rd signal - Double confirm with Oversold Analyses. 
  • Sell on opposite signals. 

See you tomorrow.

PS: I would like to thank the following...

Footnote to self:
  • Buy Market price when I see a signal. Don't buy at a Limit price. 
  • Buy on dip from late April to early May 2021.
  • Sell in May and go away. Reinvest in November.
  • August is a particularly strong month, September is an especially bad month for stocks.
  • 10% strategy is not efficient. 5% profit is faster to reach. Hence Change to >$100 target strategy instead. 
  • Buy quickly once I identify a stock to buy.
  • Queue GTD for every buys and sells. 
  • Missed SEAC spike 3 times within a week. Dropped to negative immediately after the spike. Lesson - Queue up to sell using GTD. Forget about using alerts.
  • Premarket moves are irrelevant and distracting. Stop tracking them. 
  • Sell immediately if price spikes on news.
  • Remove emotion from the equation.
  • Sell. Don't hold. Don't be greedy. 
  • Sell when the target is hit. Don't hold. 
  • I need a cut-loss strategy.
  • If I don't sell, I will have no capital to buy. 
  • Locking the profits at hand is better than risking the opposite direction.
  • How to recover from stock market losses? How to recover my money lost? How to win my trading losses back? 
  • The best way to recover after losing money in the stock market is to invest again.

How to Day Trade With Confidence - Yahoo! Finance

How to Day Trade With Confidence - Yahoo! Finance Cut losses short: let profits run. An age-old adage that's stood all tests of time for great reason. It's a pillar of trading success, a testament to trading from a position of confidence and strength rather than weakness and fear. That guy Churchill had it partially right. The only thing traders have to fear is fear itself. Of course in most cases that fear is based on valid concerns. Too many traders operate from positions of fear because deep down they know it's a gunfight they attend which finds them holding knives. Dull knives. Butter knives.
