I had a goal too when I started experimenting with active trading; My goal was to make 1% a week in a taxable account at fidelity. It hasn't been easy. I went through a long process of learning about options before I came here. I sold a lot of them, but I think that is one of those things that appeals to you based on personality and whether you can afford it. A lot of young guys cant' afford it. I have been trying to do like you guys do for about 3 weeks. I am not sure what to think about this swing trading, but I've made an awful lot of money. Just wondering what it's like to lose it just as fast.
I suppose that the hit rate on these swings could be evidence that Stock_Swing_Alert has enough followers to move the market. I don't know. In the options world, you certainly have to watch what r/wallstreetbets is doing, because they have millions of people coordinated who do nothing but trade options. In my arrogance I decided to sell options to these folks.
