Full Disclosure Trading
To All thread viewers
Thread can loosen a bit in the postings to include a little more explanation or even predictive or ex-post rationale that can be included (though the actual trade shoudl always be posted when it occurs). In general, loosening up the format somewhat - open to suggestions.
It would be helpful to all thread viewers if the rational for posted trade was also explained. For example...oversold, way below book value, new guidance from company, insider buying, charting indicates a buy signal , good covered call write, merger news, etc.
One of the main points of this thread is to post real trades and real time enough that it reflects reality and others can guage results and evaluate methods, etc. as they will speak for themsleves.
Reporting format example:
opening post: AMAT DT bot 1000 @ 52.94 9:43am
or just AMAT DT bot 1000 @ 52.94 if posting at or near time of trade.
[optional: brief reason like "momentum reversed", "Fed increased rates"]
closing post: AMAT DT sold 1000 @ 53.80 +1.62% or +$860
DT= day trade
ST= more than a day, no more than a week.
MT= more than a week to 3 months
SS= short sale
CS= cover short
NA or blank= unsure at time of trade time frame and/or dependent on subsequent price action
B&H (buy and hold)indefinite time period)
LTB&H long term buy and hold ( something you might do for grand kid as a college trust)
Time of trade only if materially different from time stamp of posting.
No spamming etc. Behave. |
