7 Pains In Trading & How To Overcome Them 😈 Trading is not all fun and games. We do not make money every day and certainly not on every trade. It is not like other careers or jobs where you work and then get paid. Our pursuit is more like the life of an entrepreneur. Our idea may work or it may not. The stock we just bought may take off or it may fall. After many years of hard work we may have enough capital to pay off our house or lose $50,000 of our hard earned money. We may become a millionaire in a runaway bull market or waste five years of hard work with nothing to show for it. Here are 7 painful aspects of trading and what to do about them. The pain of losing money. Trade smaller so it is not painful, it is just an outcome. The pain of being wrong about a trade you were sure about You lost simply because the market was not conducive to your trading methodology, trend followers lose money in choppy markets, swing traders lose money in trending markets, it’s the market not you. The pain of a draw down in capital Even the world’s best money managers do not continually hit all time equity highs. Your path may look like this $10,000 to $20,000 to $15,000 to $25,000 to $20,000 to $30,000. Mine was rockier than most, and after blood, sweat and tears I am now able to trade with some size. Consecutive trading losses hurt. They make you doubt yourself, your method, and your system You need to remember your winning trades, your winning years, or your back-testing, or paper trading of the method. The pain of of admitting you were wrong Cut your loss and move on to the next trade, trade reality not your ego. You are following a guru and come to realize he truly is a salesman not a trader You stop following gurus and look to learn how to trade you yourself. You start trading a system that did amazing in back-testing and promptly lose -20% of your account You have to stick with it so it can win in the long term, you may need to make slight adjustments in position sizing or stops to account for volatility that you may have missed. Whatever the pain, just don’t quit, there is gold to be found in trading right over the long term. 😎 Thank To Steve Burns.

BA: Technically still a long Will kick off the week starting with BA, as it has been kind to me lately. So, BA is technically still a long but there are some caveats to this, so let's get into it. First, per ush, recap. BA Recap: First, BA broke through its trading range last week, marking the second week in a row BA has broken through its predicted trading range. This shows, and I emphasize, VERY VERY strong momentum. BA traditionally NEVER breaks out of its trading range. I have reviewed this over 2021 and breakouts were rare. So this shows that momentum is still going strong here and BA is an admirable choice for you momentum players. Second, BA is not doing the classic BA move and giving back its gains. It did really experience some difficulty this past week at the top end of its trading range, but this is expected because its technically beyond what the stock should naturally be trading in. BUT, it still managed to stay true and hold its upper range gains. Third and Final, BA is forming one of my favourite and famous chart patterns, the bullish bird. Well... whether is a bullish bird is TBD, but we will get into this in the analysis portion. Alright now for the analysis. What to Expect Next Week: Fundamentals and Earnings: So next week is going to be wild for all stocks and BA is not immune. I will go more into the economic fundamentals in my SPY post but just know that this week we have earnings on multiple BIG tech companies that lead the S&P 500 (such as MSFT, AAPl) AND BA (Which leads the Dow Jones Industrial Index). Tech companies have been preparing investors for disappointment. Furthermore, we have an FOMC meeting which analysts collectively expect another 75 BP hike to be announced here. In terms of earnings, BA has been more silent than other companies about what to expect for their earnings but let's get into what I personally expect from BA earnings (please note, I am not an analyst in any sense of the word, I am just a STAN for BA who actually reads SEC filings for the company). 1. In classic BA fashion, last earnings releases fell short. But it fell short in key areas that tend to carry BA, most notably, its defense profits. BA typically derives much of their revenue from defense which offset their losses in other areas, but their last earnings were negative all around in every aspect. 2. BA has steadily been gaining contracts in the commercial sense since last earnings release, but its defense contracts have been lacking from what I can see. 3. BA has been branching out into space travel and is a growing competition with SpaceX in this area; however, they have yet to secure any formal contracts or any formal commercial plans as of yet. 4. Analysts expect BA's EPS to be positive this earnings date. As such, I expect BA's earnings to be an improvement from previous earnings; however, I still expect BA to likely fall short of rainbows and butterflies. But I do expect the modest improvement in earnings to be a catalyst. BA investors (of which I used to be one) tend to expect bad news. However, when the news is less bad than usual, it generally sparks more interest. In general though, BA's response to earnings releases tends to be more tame than others unless they truly outperform, then you tend to get some aggressive bullishness. I look forward to seeing how this plays out. Technicals: - On the Daily and on the 1 hour you can see the bullish bird lead up. - Right now BA is doing the pre-breakout dip. This is the make or break it portion of the bullish bird. Here, BA will either break to the upside or collapse back down. - The pre-breakout dip can be aggressive but in this case it should not dip more than 148 - 149 to maintain the bullish bird pattern and break out. Any lower it is invalidated. - RSI is running a little on the hot side on most major time frames including the daily which generally is sorted out with the pre-breakout pullback. Trading Range Predicted trading range is 142 to 173. Verdict: It could go either way with earnings and FOMC around the corner. Its a really hard call here. But one important thing to keep in mind is BA doesn't follow SPY and generally trades independently of the market. It does lead DIA but it always managers to do its own thing and be independent of the market. So if and or when you trade BA, do not look to traditional indexes to guide your analysis because BA is a maverick in the same sense as TSLA. My likely BA play: Because of the crazy news being released and BA's inclination to break out to the upside of its range, my likely play this week is a straddle. I will buy 1 weekly call and put on either end of the trading range (potentially 2 week) with an estimated net debit of about 0.94$ with the expectation that BA is going to break out one way or the other from its anticipated range as it has done for the last 2 weeks. Profits are technically unlimited but assuming that BA just reaches the top or bottom of the range and doesn't go higher or lower, net profit would be around 320 - 350. Obviously much higher if it surpasses the range like it has been lately (which is what I am hoping for). Conservative but this is an experiment as I have never tried something like this before. But with stocks constantly breaking through my ranges, this is an intriguing play. That's it for now! Trade safe everyone and leave your questions/comments and critiques below! Thanks for reading

Boeing | Fundamental Analysis | Long May was a very good month for Boeing: the company returned to space with a (mostly) successful test flight of its CST-100 Starliner crewless spacecraft. Of course, SpaceX still has the edge over Boeing in manned spaceflight: since conducting its own crewless test flight in 2019, the company has put 25 people into orbit, compared to Boeing's zero. But Boeing is looking to close the gap with SpaceX - possibly as early as this year - and set itself up to start generating revenue from manned flights in the future. Boeing's OFT-2 test flight in May was the culmination of more than two years of work to get the Starliner up and running. While the crewless flight didn't go entirely smoothly, it was close enough that last month NASA confidently designated two astronauts -- crew chief Barry "Butch" Wilmore and pilot Sunny Williams -- to fly the Starliner in the upcoming Crew Test Flight (CFT). NASA has not given a specific date for the CFT as it is still evaluating data from OFT-2. However, the space agency's internal calendar reportedly has a launch date of December 8. According to Ars Technica, there is at least "a reasonable probability that Starliner will make its second flight this year." And NASA has promised to help clarify that in a "launch schedule estimate" by the end of July. Above all, it will be a big PR win for Boeing. It will allow the company to claim that, like SpaceX, Boeing is also a space company with a human-rated craft capable of flying to the International Space Station, to future private space stations that could be launched into orbit, or even theoretically to the moon. The Starliner's 390-cubic-foot crew compartment is near twice the size of the Apollo capsule, which regularly went to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s. While SpaceX will certainly remain the leader in terms of missions completed to date, in some ways Boeing will successfully "catch up" with SpaceX in this particular space race. A successful CFT mission would also allow Boeing to receive the remainder of the $4.2 billion the company received in 2014 to develop the Starliner, a test flight, and six working flights with a crew to the ISS. However, the CFT likely won't help Boeing win a few more crewed missions from NASA. When NASA gave SpaceX the first three additional crewed flights last year and then five more flights in June, it essentially maximized its crew transportation needs to the ISS until the end of the space station's lifespan, which is expected to expire in 2030. While it is possible that NASA will find reasons to send additional astronauts to the ISS over the next eight years -- or that it may extend the life of the ISS beyond 2030, which would require additional flights -- at this point, Boeing cannot expect to get new flights to the space station. That means the company must get lucky if it wants to find more work (and more revenue) for Starliner. Either Boeing has to cross its fingers and hopes NASA finds a need for more flights to the ISS, or Boeing has to find new customers who need a manned spacecraft. Where can such customers be found? There are three options. First, Boeing could approach Axiom Space with an offer to service that company's planned future space station. Axiom already has close ties with SpaceX, which could make that offer difficult to make. On the other hand, Boeing is already Jeff Bezos' partner in the Orbital Reef space station project, and if that project ever comes to fruition, Orbital Reef would be a logical destination for future Starliner flights. Alternatively, Boeing could do as SpaceX did and become its own customer. Once the Starliner is deemed safe for human spaceflight, there is no reason why Boeing should not take the example of Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, and SpaceX and offer space tourists to go into orbit aboard the Starliner as part of paid spaceflight. After all, when SpaceX flew its private Inspiration4 space tourist mission, it was rumored to have raised as much as $200 million to fly four space tourists. Of course, how big the market is for $50 million space tourism tickets remains an open question, but since only two companies are capable of providing such a service right now, and Boeing is going to be one of them, this may be the most convenient avenue for expanding Boeing's new manned spaceflight program.

BA: Short vs Long? Expectations for next week Don't be too quick to short this. While the chart may look bearish, BA is hands down gaining momentum and interest. There are some telling signs here that I will briefly go over but let's recap: Recap: - BA rallied on news last week, gaining roughly over 8% in 1 day and making an attempt to break out of the weekly trading range (the green box with a cap of around 148). - BA rejected being out of its trading range (this was my swing short this week, shorting its break down back into the trading range) and came tumbling back into range only to make another running attempt to break out, but again, being met with rejection. Likely Trajectory for BA: I am NOT overly short biased here. Chart does seem kind of bearish at first glance but I am not convinced. And here is why: - BA ran up roughly over 8% on a good news day, to give roughly 4% of those gains back the next day and then climb AND CLOSE, and I repeat AND CLOSE, regaining 4% the following day. This is not the behavior of a bearish stock, imo. - BA has seen massive rejection of the lower 110s. I was a little greedy, hoping for a touch in 94 where I could literally buy hundreds of BA shares and just live my life happy until retirement. Alas, this never came. And so people seem to be catching on that maybe this pipe dream of BA in the double digits may not be realized and are scaling back into their buy and hold positions (not to say that BA won't see the double digits, I just think that right now I am seeing a lot of both traders and investors stepping in. You can see it in the chart.) - Lot of interest in BA 160 calls. My view of option data is meh, but its just an interesting number to see. - BA attempted to break down from diamond top only to get immediately rejected and bought back up. Next Week Range: (Displayed in Red Box) Next week range has seen bullish divergence. If this were SPY I would say that means SHORT! LOL! But who knows what it means with BA; anyway, next week range: 131 - 159 Just based on the projections for next week, a HARD BUY area would probably be around 139 or lower, a hard sell area would be 158 or higher. Depending on your time frame. I wouldn't be short biased here though, like I said, and I would be inclined to be on the long side of things. But note, I am super biased with BA. I am a BA moon boy so don't listen to me. Technicals and Chart: (Main chart above) BA is flagging in a little mini bird or bearish bat type pattern and I do expect pullback. My ideal pullback zone is marked in the chart with the circle, which also corresponds with the projected buy zone of 139. A bounce here, IMO, would be a very good sign and a buy. A break here would invalidate my bullish bias and likely bring us to the bottom of the 131 range. Key Points: - Range next week 131 - 159; bullish divergence from the previous range 125 - 148. - Expecting some pullback but not overly short biased here. - Look for a break below 139 if you are short biased. - Look for a bounce at 139 to 141 if you are long biased. That's it! Trade safe, let me know your comments/questions and critiques below. Thanks for reading.

Diamond Top if I ever Saw one This is pretty self explanatory. A diamond top if I ever saw one. BA has been bullish lately but it seems like it may be winding down for a bit of a drop. SAS predicted trading range for this week is 124 - 148. Will be looking to actually swing this short I think. I think we may end up seeing a bit of a gap down on Monday, we will see where that brings us in relation to the trading range and the diamond pattern. Alternatively, one could technically argue that this is a bull pennant and it could very well break out to the upside. In that case, I would be looking to see how it treats 148 and tempted to enter short here for a quick swing. My thoughts, not advice. BA is always a wild card. My general advice is to just avoid it, but because I am a stan I find it hard to do. Trade safe everyone!

BA lookin like a short. Hey everybody, welcome back to my ideas. As you can see we are shorting BA. Price broke out of the long term down channel and was recently rejected on retest. Yesterday it was also rejected on the second retest by the down channel and a long term S/R level and is now looking to form a double top. To top it off, yesterday closed with a nice doji candlestick. My confidence level here is 4/5 Let me know what you think in the comments. *This is not advice

(Boeing) BA Short I believe we could see a short term price decline in the BA stock. This might be a good opportunity for a short term bearish/short trade through stocks or options. The price has been on a long term downtrend, since approximately Nov 2021. Making Lower Highs and Lower Lows. I have attached an image here of the BA chart on Daily candles, along with several indicators that give us high probability of a bearish price action. Through my analysis, I see the following: 1. BA June 28th 2022 price action created a Bearish Hammer The price opened at $140.89. After the open the price went up to the daily high of $147.18. At the high the price hit the top Bollinger band where it bounced off and reversed towards the downside. The bears then drove the price down to the daily low of $138.54 and shortly closed near the day's low at $138.70. The price closed below the open price signifying that the bears have won for the day. 2. The Bearish candlestick pattern is cutting through 3 key resistance levels. - (Resistance 1) The Bearish Candle is cutting through the key moving average at which point the BA price has rebounded from in the past, as per the circles areas in the chart with arrows pointing to them. This MA served as a resistance several times in the past and it is where the wick of the bearish hammer candle is now. - (Resistance 2) The Bearish Candle is cutting through the horizontal resistance shown by the blue dashed line. - (Resistance 3) The Bearish Candle is cutting through the top Bollinger band, which is a resistance point and indicated the the price is overbought. 3. The Stochastic are showing an overbought condition, and in addition the black stochastic line just went below the red stochastic line, indicating a short term bearish price action is possible/likely. I intend to enter the short trade and have 2 target profits in mind, marked by TP 1 (@ approx $131) and TP 2 (@ approx $131) in green lines on the chart. This will depend on the risk:reward ratio and aggressiveness of the bearish price action. It is worthy to note that BA made a high high on this last bullish wave, however in order to confirm the short term trend change, we would need to get a high low next (hopefully at TP 2 price level point, which is also resting on the lower Bollinger band). This is just my analysis and created for entertainment purposes. This is not and should not be taken as investment advice. I am not recommending this as a trade to anyone. Please do your own research and make your own decisions.
