    Now Showing: Trending Pages

    by TraderMike •

    Pretty much since day one of launching this site I've been checking the site's analytics to see how people are arriving at the site. I'm often surprised when I see some seemingly arcane page catching fire. That's often because of something in the news that's caused people to search for ways to profit from that news via the stock market.

    Support for Dark Mode

    by TraderMike •

    Trades of the Week: Jan 8 - Jan 12, 2024

    by TraderMike •

    I came into this week short WGMI and long QS, TEAM, AMD, DYN and TANK. Those essentially used up all my non-margin buying power. As I mentioned in a position sizing discussion on the Canadian version of SwingTradeBot, I don't like to be on margin overnight.
