Choosing the right stock makes trading so much easier. I never trade stocks that are red
on the day unless I'm shorting (never fight trend)
When trading I choose GREEN stocks that have a bullish trending chart. When the
stock changes trend or turns red on the day get the eff out!
I'm a small fish in a sea of sharks. So I never fight where the whales want to take the
stock. Ride the trend wave and never fight the trend
It is OKAY to take losses. A small loss or break even is good! Remember, wannabe
heroes often die. Never turn a small loss into a huge one!
THE TradingFish is a LOVER & NOT a FIGHTER. He never wants to fight the trend. He
"lives to LOVE another day" (not live to fightAnother day)
By holding a core position he won't miss big moves. By scalping trading around that
core he will gain from the smaller movements as well.
But these are more advanced strategies. First goal is just to become consistently
profitable. So try diff methods out and see what is best
ALL strategies never break the golden bible rules of daytrading that were the first tweets
everPosted.Never fight trend and cut losses quick
TradingFish is agnostic thus he never uses the PRAYING method. Traders who pray
must have broken a cardinal rule and so will be punished!
CONSISTENTLY green is BETTER than wild swings up and down. Consecutive green
days weeks adds up quick! Avoid large losses stay disciplined!
Like the masked magician, TradingFish has predators not liking revealing secrets for
free (3 day rule today secret)
Trailing Stop Loss may or may not only work on Nasdaq type stocks (and not pinkies
pennies otcbb) so check with your broker
Try these techniques I just laid out. Simple techniques tend to be the best. Don't over
complicate your strategy. KISS = KeepItSimpleStupid
And remember u have to crawl before you walk before you can swim. Everyone wants
to fly but it takes time. Learn 2crawl first as core is key
Disclaimer: TradingFish makes $0 from this. You lose it's on you. I don't recc trading as
it's hard and MOST WILL LOSE! Don't blame the fish
So combine all you have learned with the rules and study charts of the most actives and
you can paper trade now. Learn & practice b4 trading
If you're nervous don't worry TradingFISH is also nervous. BUT he relies on pure instinct
and STOPS overthinking but just REACTS instead
That's where practice comes in. You practice practice practice so when the time comes
you can just react, Trading like a reflex!
@mrockrulez Here's another one for you people. It's cool that it does have NASDAQs
as well finviz.com

Stock gaps up & I want to buy it I can: 1) wait for it to settle, dip to see where support is
or 2) buy a little & get ready to sell QUICK
I say don't chase cause many don't have discipline to SELL QUICK once you're down.
But its ok to test waters& nibble to see how stock reacts
So when I chase I have my finger already on the sell button just in case stock dips.Then
I slap myself 4being stupid &chasing in first place
When chasing I actually risk but 1 tick. Cause if I'm not in the money immediately why
hold on since I'm stupid to chase in 1st place!
My real setups come from the day before. I'm already in something and wait for the
open to see how my positions react to sell OR ADD
If the position Im already in runs higher I have luxury of adding AveragingUP since Im
cushioned from a good core avg.BUT Never 4get toSell!
Notice the constantTheme: sell, lock in profits,sell. Many get too greedy & hold blindly.
Remember what theFISH says about UNREALIZED gains!

Each person's Trade is diff so the timeframes vary BUT the ideas of chart support,
resistance & trends (bullish up or bearish down) applies
Like the FISH said before trading is all about pattern recognition. It's all probability of
something happening based on a specific event
What is that specific event?! Study your charts of the latest high flyers and you will see
similarities for yourself. Track plays for charts
Basically it's I saw this chart setup before & last time it did this so I will trade it like this. If
wrong cut losses quick.Nothing is 100%
So study charts for Monday. Look at the list of most actives on Friday via link tweeted
before and study charts & see what happens Monday!
$FRTD now bounces well over my sells i bought at lod.I always leave $ on the table &
cry. BUT just means i'm making $ and i can always REBUY
Avoid the bottom picking game of a slow stock WALK DOWN. These are NOT simple
bounce play. It's very hard Rather wait for confirm of bounce
i stated over&over it's MUCH EASIER trading bullish stocks going UP than to try to
cherry pick tanking stocks. Sometimes doing NOTHING is ok
$PHOT i got .4927 avg just 28k shares for now. scalping for a few bucks
@modern_rock $PHOT this is where i add to the CORE hold & trade around it since i'm
up on my avg so far. This is what i call "averaging up"
$PHOT now i added more up to .50 and will trade around the core. So YES i always
reduce some on the way up in pieces.
I posted this $PHOT trade more in detail so the @mrockrulez fish can use it as an
example of "trading around a core" and "averaging up"
techniques used for trading around a core etc works well during moves UP bullish trend.
Walk downs bouncers much harder as bottoms r NOT set
$PHOT i sold some over .50 so it cushions me to hold the rest. and i can add back on
dips
$PHOT was a harder example as it combines a bounce play too and the bottom is still
not set. .49 should be a stop out for this level
$PHOT they show huge 400k offer to shake u out & yes i sold .491 rest. The sells over .
50 helped cushion this fall. End of TradingAroundCore
glad the Trading FISH can help small fish escape being captured and fried up by the
sharks of the trading world...
I am a big short when the time is right. What I don't do is pretend I do it to help others. I
do it for personal GAIN $ & don't cry to SEC
The real big money for shorting are the higher priced OTC promos in dollar plus land.
But SEC has halted & stopped most of those plays :(
The only one who benefits from a super low price penny stock tanking are the market
makers who can short and also bounce daytraders like me
So when a .07 like $FRTD tanks its NOT due to retail shorts It's from longs selling as
they should do (RULES)when stock breaks under support
I have accounts where I can locate and borrow many stocks regardless of price but it's
NOT COST EFFECTIVE & a losing cause most of the time
KISS - KeepItSimpleStupid is how I am profitable daily. My BIGGEST losses are always
when I think I know better or overthink the obvious
If stocks were predictable we would ALL be RICH! - MR
(I never enter a trade w/preset targets. It's all dynamic changes like a girl's mood)
Guys, a Reverse Split R/S is BAD! Come on if the stock TANKS on a certain news you
can guess if news is bad/good by action of the stock
Just think about it -- most SIMPLE thing @modern_rock has EVER said has given me
an ah hah moment "add to winners" duh right?
This is what happens when u don't follow theFISH's RULEz @mrockrulez : Unrealized
Dream is a flash from a nightmare
My biggest pet peeve is ignorance stemming from LAZINESS. Before asking a
question, you should always try to find the answer yourself FIRST!
Success dont come from others constantly spoon feeding u. U get help to LEARN to
feed YOURSELF, then #PayItForward by helping 2 feed others!
"Uplisting" is a carrot used by hypers to lure u into buying a piece of shit stock & for u to
hold & keep adding to a loser
If u leave $$ on the table means you MADE MONEY! $SPLI I sold way b4 the high but I
got the MEAT of the move & that's what I do over & over!
I don't need to be the hero w/the absolute lowest buy or top sell, I am happy lowering
my risk by playing only the MEAT (middle) of the move
@modern_rock @mrockrulez guess what? $MNKD = 3day rule! thanks!
How to handle a halt? You avoid the sector let it settle from the initial grief & scared
mentality. Confidence WILL eventually return always
OTC halts are bad for EVERYONE. Stocks tank and then turn into a ghost town until
confidence returns. You need volume/liquidity to trade
I always say "You only need to get rich ONCE". So i never ever risk 100% on
ANYTHING. When investing i always assume 100% loss just in case!
People have diff trading strategies. I stopped being arrogant to think my way is best.
Some invest, swing, or scalp. Do what works FOR YOU!
Unfortunately it may take a HUGE loss or 2 or 10 b4 u realize what you've been doing is
not working out. There's No perfect system xcept HFT
Any time you hear someone use the words "no brainer" "guaranteed" "easy" "obvious"
regarding the stock market you know they are a scammer
the 3 day rules works for tankers too. today is day 2 of $SPLI flush. So it's ok if wait for
tomorrow to see capitulation & avoid headaches
Or you can buy dips in small partials.Dont go all in at once. nibble nibble. There are
many ways to trade Or JUST AVOID tankers altogether
If you don't learn from your mistakes you will bound to repeat them. Don't be inflicted

CHANCE FAVOURS THE PREPARED MIND. THE MORE YOU PRACTICE, THE
LUCKIER YOU BECOME -@richardbranson
When I say MEAT it's middle of the stock trend move. Many TRY to TIME the top & end
up getting STUCK cause they greedy!Fish sells ON WAY UP!
When more than one rulez are valid you have to really consider what to do. Example
today is $MINE 3 day rule AND buy on rumor sell on news
How many people go broke get hooked and break all rulez cause last play was a huge
success. NOTE: That's how crack drug dealers operate too!
Trading can b super complex IF u allow it 2be. I try to KISS KeepItSimpleStupid. Lock in
gains. Control greed & ego 2 major causes of losses
Greed kills a ton of people cause they get pissed cause stock keeps going after they
sell. So on the next play they hold and stock tanks.
Ego kills the rest cause they don't want to sell for a loss because they know something
no one else does & others are dumb to sell so low
Summer OTC promotions are VERY tough as there are not many plays. So ALL EYES
will be on the play including SHORTS! Be on alert.
$VHUB today great example of how you should sell on the way up and not average
down cause some stocks just do not bounce!
@modern_rock is explicitly detailing the trades & mindset of how he trades day 1 of a
big promo for The Fish Academy so we can learn today
PRO TIP: i have 10 Level2 on $PGFY already set and already keyed in and ready to
trade. Always be prepared & a few steps ahead of everyone
Risk management is HUGE aspect of trading. Notice sizes I hold o/n. I'm riding house $
$ and NEVER go all in. You only need to get rich once!
Guys, trading is not about being "right", it's about making MONEY. Im wrong on trades
all day long but i cut losses QUICK & dont fight trend
Study $HEMP u see closing price is .0525 See how they try to accumulate below that.
Then HUGE SPIKE up into green: red/green indicator play
Rock @modern_rock is giving us a lesson on the $HEMP bounce now and how the
spike happened and reasons
Notice the previous days on $HEMP how they press lower highs and lower highs but
still red. And today is day 3 & it bounced, imagine that ;)
Some ask why $HEMP bounce now? One reason also is longer term chart you see it
was @ .05 before the huge move
So many over analyze trades. Learn the KISS Keep It Simple principles at @mrockrulez
I use only BASIC charting when I trade & my eyeballs
Unless you're into voodoo, magic, numerology, coin flipping, paper trading ... You NEED
to learn the basic concepts of charting! #MRockRulez
This reminds me of many of the pumps investors brain wash themselves into believing
to be "investments"
For OTC penny stock trading newbies this is a great writeup on LOI Letter Of Intent
buyout scams. eg imo $FRTD
http://
investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_ms
g.aspx?message_id=102201980
Let me explain how retail shorting of low penny stocks works to clear up ridiculous
misinformation by pumpers
You can short OTC via $IBKR BUT requires $2.50/share maintenance meaning to short
100k need $250k in CASH! So $250k to short SMALL $2k $FRTD
FRTD - been a while since I've seen a good fake buyout scam. They used to be
pretty common about 2 - 3 years ago. The most famous of which during that time
were probably SAEI (which got suspended by the SEC largely because of the
fake buyout offer), SRGE (which got suspended by the SEC largely because of
the fake buyout offer), and SPPH (which got suspended by the SEC largely
because of the fake buyout offer).
This one is obviously a scam. It has all the red flags of a scam buyout offer.
Red Flag #1) They do not name the company making the offer. This is the most
obvious sign that the buyout offer is fake. Nothing but a fabrication by Thomas J.
Parilla to manipulate the market activity and the share price.
Red Flag #2) Unrealistic price. Why would a company pay $.12/share to buy
majority control of a company that was only trading at around $.01/share at the
open? Super easy answer here - They wouldn't.
Red Flag #3) FTRD has nothing to offer. Last reported they had $1,000 cash and
no revenues. They have no real business operations. They do not even have an
active website.
Red Flag #4) FTRD's scammy recent history - a fake entry into the marijuana
industry, lots of pumps/promotions, pump&dump chart, and some obvious
dilution.
FRTD has already done a fake share buyback (again they have no cash to buy
shares off the open market), started fake new pot related business operations,
and has been leading on investors about becoming a fully reporting company.
Don't even get me started on the AFFW stuff.
Hopefully people that are trading FRTD understand what is really going on and
aren't falling for this fake buyout offer. They better be smart about trading the
price action and treating it as a flip play and nothing more. FRTD now has to be
considered a suspension risk and people will have to be prepared for the future
press release about the buyout offer being terminated.
In the past when scammy tickers did fake buyout offers they would often have
some delays to try to stretch out the hype and keep gullible investors chasing the
carrot as long as possible.
We'll probably see a "delayed" press release for FTRD when May 30th comes
and possibly even a new "delayed" press release after that before we get the LOI
is terminated press release. Assuming of course that FRTD hasn't been
suspended by the SEC by then which is now a very strong possibility since the
SEC is paying close attention to the marijuana tickers as mentioned in Friday's
SEC press release.

Rules of the OTC Fight Club:
1) you don't invest in OTC
2) you don't invest in OTC
3) fight is over when investor goes limp and is broke
$400/day is $100k/year? Be patient and pick a few good trades cause It's easy to make
$100/trade, MUCH harder to make $1k/trade! #MRockRulez
Free Lesson: Look at chart history and see patterns: eg $LQMT each day they run up
then sell sell all day long down
The power of the Fish 3 day rule applies to long side as well as shorting. You can trade
both sides: long day 1, reduce days 2-3, then short
Trading is all about pattern recognition & how to react to it w/high probability of success.
So WAIT for your preferred setups! #MRockRulez
