AVAV is in trouble, see my reasoning below. Company: **AVAV -** AeroVironment, Inc - Global leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), and Loitering Munition Systems, On February 13th, I opened 3 puts on AVAV.

The decline is marked by negative volume, with insufficient positive volume support (indicating few buyers). The MACD has turned negative, and the OBV is well below its SMAs. Long-term momentum is breaking down,... 5 0 replies

risking 1% or 0.50% per trade? i heard somewhere that if you have a higher account balance such as $100k+ then you really should risk 0.50% per trade risking 1% at all times is very attractive though, you can grow your account much faster, to the tune of 4 times faster compared to risking 0.50% per trade the only catch is you have to be able to tolerate double the draw down which could be up to 15% i'm thinking risking 1% per trade instead of 0.50% would be worth it in the end obviously... 4 0 replies

Need book Recommendations for Beginner Trader I've been trading for about 3 years but most of that has been talking to my dad as he uses technical and a mix of my own trades. I've grown my account from about 1000 to 9000 and I'm 16. I have technical analysis of financial markets by John Murphy& The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. I already know most market terminology but want more books for technical analysis or anything to compliment and also to learn options/futures more in depth. 5 1 replies
Trader or Gambler? I've noticed in many Reddit comments that some people in certain posts are referred to as "gamblers" rather than "traders." But what exactly sets a trader apart from a gambler, and how can you recognize the difference? "Perhaps I believe I am a trader, without realizing that I am actually a gambler—simply because luck has been on my side so far." Thank you for the answers. 1 20 replies

Tracking my Trades manually was a pain—So i built a Tool to Automate It. Would love your thoughts! For a long time, I didn’t bother tracking my trades. I thought, “Markets are forward-looking—what happened yesterday won't impact tomorrow." But then I came across a quote from Euan Sinclair that hit home: >Is the world roughly going to continue to be the same, or is this time different? Betting that the world is roughly going to continue to be the same is usually the right bet to take. This made me realize that while markets are always shifting, my trading behavior was pretty consistent. And my recurring mistakes—holding... 2 5 replies
