3 Top Penny Stock Trading Lessons
Every week I give a Trading Challenge webinar. They alternate between Q&A sessions and live-trading webinars.
Over time, lessons from webinars compound to grow your knowledge account. Come with questions and work to get better at trading penny stocks under $1.
Last week we used a live trade to explore the nuances of OTC breakouts. And, as always, there was plenty of student Q&A. Here are three trading lessons from the webinar. Read to the end to discover what you’ll learn when you watch the webinar replay.
Penny Stock Trading Lesson 1: Get In Tune With the Market
A lot of people learned from early 2021. They weren’t aggressive enough in the hot market. When they finally got the guts to be aggressive, the market had changed. That’s when you should be less aggressive. This is trading.
Your whole goal is trying to get in tune with the markets. You want to get aggressive when there are plays and back off when there are none. Too many people aren’t aggressive enough when there are plays and too aggressive when there aren’t plays.
Once you’re in tune with the market, take advantage of the opportunities the market gives. Learn from Huddie…
Penny Stock Trading Lesson 2: Don’t Go Snowboarding During the Hottest Market in Decades
In February 2021 — arguably the hottest month in the entire bubble market — Huddie tried to plan a big snowboarding trip. I warned him and other top students to not go…
You don’t go snowboarding when it’s the hottest market in decades! Don’t go anywhere.
When the market’s hot, there are SO many opportunities. That’s when you clamp down. Focus and show up prepared every day to take what the market gives you.
A slow market like this is the time to study, work out, or go snowboarding.
But Huddie didn’t know what he didn’t know — he didn’t have perspective. I’ve seen enough to know when it’s a hot market and when it isn’t. And I’m here to pass down two decades of lessons.
Penny Stock Trading Lesson 3: Judge Every Trade Individually
During webinar Q&A, a lot of students ask me specifics about my trades. They want to know things like whether I buy on the bid or ask, and why I buy some breakouts and not others. They’re looking for exact rules for every trade.
Every trade is different. There are no set rules.
Know the plays and the patterns but consider all the indicators. What’s the market doing? How does the stock move? What’s the news or catalyst? Use my “Trader Checklist” guide and the Sykes Sliding Scale to help you judge every trade individually.
