Trading Large Stocks Requires More Capital, You Must Manage Those Trades Very Carefully.
Today on The Bubba Show, Bubba re-emphasizes that there is no way to maximize profit on every trade. You must make a trader’s decision. If you are making the decision from a winning posture, it will be much easier. Since all of his trades have limited risk, it makes that decision much easier. The Badger comments that trading large stocks requires more capital and that you must manage those trades very carefully.Bubba and the Badger comment on how to handle expiration trades. They agree that there is no ultimate solution. On some expirations you will be spot on and other times you will struggle to make the best trade. They tell students that this is part of trading and managing positions. The Badger explains how air goes into the balloon when the market breaks and those traders can then take advantage. He notes that for the past six years there has been little fear.
Bubba comments that the market makers are always going to be in control on expiration and that you need to realize that if you are going to be trading then you will have to give up the edge to the market makers. Bubba reviews trading from the previous week, he notes which trades were dead winners and which trades were losers. He talks about a couple of trades that could have gone either way.
