The Man Who Broke Atlantic City

Edge and risk management. An uncanny parallel between trading and gambling. Sound easy, but definitely not. Finding an edge is already difficult enough, few have enough discipline to stick with it. Even fewer have the patience to wait until the edge lines up favorably.

$SBUX: Multiple Time Frame Analysis

我的思考(Trading Analysis): 

A price/volume spike in $SBUX in daily chart and then forming a bull flag, it got me interested. A close look at 30 min chart identify 3 price level to watch. $54 as first support where I will try to get a feeler. $52.8~$53 as second support which is my stop. If price acts right, then it is an add through $55 breakout. Big cap like $SBUX usually required significant volume to make a big move. It's also more suited for swing trade.  

"Trading is not an intellectual game.  You can’t “out-think” the market. Analyzing and predicting the markets is not nearly as important as learning how to react to what the markets actually do. Stay involved in the process of making the right decisions at each moment, and let go of worrying about the outcome. Trust your judgment."  ~Linda Raschke

市場從不理會我們邏輯思考. 我們能做的就是做好自己的分析然後下注. 相信自己,但是結果如果不和自己的預測一樣, 一定要有停損及應變的能力. 一但開始淪落到市場vs自己的心態, 後果通常不妙.
