Karen I kinda see what ur saying.
Looking back through my trade log (Exactly 5 years) I have 989 trades.
45% of my net profit came from trading CRD.B on just 33 trades.
47% of my net profit came from trading RMTI on 115 trades
=======================================
Exactly!
IMHO, KNOW what you're trading.
I don't know how some traders just pick different symbols everyday and then pick a whole new batch the following week.
I can't do that.
I follow a few that move and trade 'em over and over.
I've posted many of them here .... AAPL, SWKS, AMBA, SKX, CYBR, LCI ...
Sadly, I made $$ on CYBR & LCI, then lost it all because I deviated from my discipline.
Every time I start following more than 3 stocks -- I lose.

Pre-market is a great time to trade.
AMBA up $1.00 in pre-market.
I should just buy this & "let my profits run", eh?
I'll put in a stop and see how it goes.

AMBA - $112.50
Too bad I didn't keep the shares I had @ $108.

I'm glad we had this dialogue.
Made me realize, for the amount of money I want to make, my positions are too small.
But trading 1000 shrs per trade instead of 200-500?
THAT IS risky ...
If I'm gonna do 200-500 shrs per trade, I'll have to do more than one trade 1X per day.
Sigh ....
So much work!

@ Four,
WHY I don't "let my profits run" ....
I have absolutely no reason to not sell @ $118.50 and and continue holding to where it is now - $116.98.
If you made $5K this morning, you just lost 1/2 of it.
