Trading AAPL

Aapl could possibly have a bullish week beginning tomorrow possibly, as you can see volume is slightly winding down. It could also drop down to 480 still in the long run according to fibonnaci and even test a support trendline from 2009 in 460-70. In the andrew line you can see that aapl broke through the resistance and tested it, it has to be able to hold 520-30.

 

if aapl's earning are better than expectations it would mean good for the stock but if they underperform the stock will be in bad shape as this quarter is normally their quarter.

AAPL found some resistance in the gap at 510-520 and immediately returned back after venturing into it. The stock's volume and rsi are dropping showing a potential drop back to 490 tomorrow and possibly see if the gap will hold support. In the 1-5 day charts the 18 dma crosser under the 50dma so a possible sign that the stock will drop. Also waiting on aapl's earnings report.

 

By the way I've only been trading for about 7-8 months and am still a newbie, I only trade about 8k and I'll be posting my earning each week. I'd appreciate it if you guys could give me advice and discuss.

 

This month i'm up $330.

Hi, this is my first message, but I fallow this forum from many time.

Second me it can reach to 520$ or max 560$ but then it will fall down to 460$.

In the monthly timeframe the final long term target is 202 $.

 

am I crazy? I don't know, but I think that this prediction can came true.

 

Sorry for my no good English.

 

I attached two graphics with my personal trend line and analysis.

 

Have a good day.

I'm not good with the fundamentals of aapl, but I'm pretty positive they aren't bad enough to allow aapl to break their support trendline from 2009 at 460-70. I've heard earnings should be pretty good for this quarter and that could boost aapl up.

Today I shorted aapl at 498 but then ended up covering at 498 taking a small loss from commissions which is alright as I bought into aapl later this morning at 504 and expect a nice profit tomorrow.

As you can see, aapl fell on light volume and the price is increasing with the volume which is always a good sign. The stock could definitely rally much higher if the earnings are great. I think tomorrow aapl will gap up and I will sell then and then wait for the reaction from the earnings report. This is only short term though which is mainly what I care about.

Hey guys,

 

I made a giant post on AAPL on my 'tech picks.." thread that is really quite hot! I mean all the tips there have worked out great and you want to check it out.

 

Wall Street is bullish on the stock and so am I. Its consensus price target of $745 gives it an upswing of almost 50%. Its pretty incredible.

 

I expect a lot of volatility tomorrow and I've already capitalized by shorting and going long on the stock a few times. I have gone long about 90% of the time, though.

 

Regards,

 

Vinayak - The Valley Trader.

I followed my strategy to the T. I sold out of my position of 504 at 510. I was speculating whether or not to buy in before earnings as i heard they were god, yet I didn't. Thank god as aapl dropped down to 463 during after hours, lol that was crazy.

You are trading against the trend, NOT GOOD. If you leave a 100 share position overnight and the stock gaps down, you can lose a quick 4 to 5 thousand of your 10 thousand. I tend to want to take trades against the trend as well and have spent 2 years trying to break myself of this. If it is easy to take a position exactly where you want , you are probably trading in the wrong direction. It should be difficult to buy at a good price. Read "Reminisciences of a Stock Operator". It is the first and possibly still the best book on trading.

Thanks, and i'm not completely mad that I did this trade, I learned a valuable lesson that will save me money in the long run. With each incorrect trade I learn what I did wrong and become better for it.

i'm in agreement with Bj139.

I think that the first short target of Apple is 360$ in few weeks. I am sure!

It can reach also 202$ in the long term, but i'm not sure of this.

I opened a short position at 660$ and I closed it yesterday.

Today, i opened a new short position at 465$ and i would want close it at 410$ in the next days. Only when Apple will reach 360$, i will open a new long position.

 

I hope my reflections are useful for you.

Sorry for my no good english!:)

 

Bye Bye,

Alessandro.

I created another thread titled "edgararakelyan stock market trading log", and in it you would see that I sold my shares and then did some other trades and recently this morning I covered my short (433) at 423.

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
