Wish I had something to do with trading currently but this market just isn't good for trading. I miss it and talking shop in here.
I'm still trading daily. It's just more time consuming and doesn't leave me time to post on CD. I have reduced position sizes and have to make more scalping trades to meet my daily profitability quota. I'm in favor of violent swings, but do not care for little choppy days- I think there was one day like this, this week that I decided to not trade at all... But yes, trading these days takes a toll on mental facilities. I'm super-weary after the day is finally done.

Do you trade full-time? I'm in healthcare management so my trading system can't usually be in real time. I tend to only trade on positive momentum with buy order on moves up followed by adjusting my stops daily. Not sure how I could manage daily trading in this environment if I wasn't watching the market closely in real-time.

Yes, I'm trading full time right now.
I rarely swing trade now, it feels too risky to me b/c it's all about the macro now and things turn on a dime, so I'm scalping although I do some overnights, depending, but not counter-trend. Yes, I am glued to my chair for every trade watching every 1/3/5 minute candlestick go by on spx/spy/qqq as well as whatever I am trading...
Trading in a bear market can be hard work but it can also be very profitable. Good luck to us both.

Have you thought of using a trailing stop? I recommend reading Darvas's book, How I Made $2M In The Stock Market. His trading style may appeal to you!
RBLX seems to be in a reverse head 'n shoulders pattern right now, pushing through the 40-week (on the weekly chart) with increased volume two weeks in a row. It'll be interesting to see how this develops through earnings on 9 Nov.
