+11R Morning Just “Another Day at the Office” for Ken on Tuesday by, Ken Long

April 5, 2020 April 5, 2020 / 1 minute of reading / Leave a Comment

Market volatility is helping generate some bigger than “normal” results but the trade setups, entries, and exits that Ken’s systems generate right now are quite ordinary. While the systems helped make Ken +11R in the morning, he added to the earnings in the midday and afternoon sessions. Even in the less normal conditions right now, these trades come from the exact same signals that the systems generate every day . . . so Ken wonders why more folks aren’t joining his free evening strategy webinars which he offers for free …

This four minute video details Ken’s internal struggle between his beliefs about TSLA and what his system’s rules recently told him to do. Ken says, “You should tattoo into your consciousness the importance and limits of predictions and beliefs and rules and management. These are certainly tattooed into my consciousness. The video reinforces all of the Tharp Think principles I believe.”

Ken’s Corner – Case Study

This is one example of a monthly “check-in” where students do the work to apply our principles to their trading and gather the evidence needed to make strategy-adjustment decisions. This exercise involves self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-mastery. “Lifelong learners, students of the market” do this on a regular basis to stay aligned with an ever-evolving market. Hi Ken, A prosperous New Year to you and the Tortoise community! This year started well for me. I think I am beginning to get the real value of intraday techniques in my …

Think of these 3 charts from 2 perspectives: (1) If you were the trader who …

July 10, 2019 July 12, 2019 / 5 minutes of reading / Leave a Comment

Today’s quiz actually has two case studies with two charts each. Part one offers an example of our favorite hybrid trading style that blends the best of swing trading and daytrading, a technique we call core and turbo. Swing trades form the core position in which we use swing trade patterns to give us a directional bias for the opportunity that may unfold in the next few days. These are moves that are larger than average and which occur in shorter than usual periods of time. When our swing trade …

+12R by Lunch From 2 Trades in DIA by Ken Long

May 23, 2019 May 23, 2019 / 1 minute of reading / Leave a Comment

This +9R trade featured 4 short scale ins in DIA during the Friday morning session. It was absolutely routine trading based on the techniques I teach and the way we trade every day — swing trade framing to identify likely movers, taking advantage of our awareness that the market was in a critical state, identifying intraday weakness which pointed out the downward momentum. . . . and we simply followed through in our usual way. This trade captured 480 index points with a risk-managed 50 points the whole way. I …
