When should you actually blow your own trumpet?
Trumpet blowing
In this post I'm going to blow my own trumpet, as nobody else is going to do it for me 😙.
So far
If you have been following my blog you will know that I have been trading for many years, and have recently started looking at getting an understanding of what it would take to trade in the crypto markets.
Past Chart
Over a week ago in one of my educational videos for beginners, I spoke about having sold the Russell 2000 index, which is a US small cap stock index. Below is a snap of the chart I showed:
Current Chart
This is how the chart looks today:

Trumpet blown 😄.

Good post, thanks for sharing
@syamsulrizal thanks for the vote. What do you like about it? 😐
of course... I like it
@syamsulrizal, I'm just trying to understand what you like in the post, so that I can write similar helpful posts. Thank you.
well, that was quite the downfall. Good thing you managed to sell then.
Unfortunately @kdee916 I didn't catch it all. I usually take half the position off at a first target and try to run the rest a bit longer. Thank you.
maybe it's bc i'm not as familiar with stocks, but can you explain to me what happened? I thought you managed to sell at a good time, hence the trumpet blowing, but I read a comment below that wasn't the case...just wondering!
hi @corinneiskorean, thanks for your question. Yes everything was fine with the trade, I just didn't catch all of the move, as I set targets for taking my profits. You see, I'm a trader, and I move in and out of positions, I don't hold for the long run as you never know when this will happen. Once I hit my targets, I'm out. Does this answer your question?
ahhh so you set a specific point where you'd pull out regardless? Did you base this off time or a monetary value?
I generally base my exits off supply/demand levels I see on the chart. My first target is based of R:R (Risk:Reward) and a supply/demand level. Once I have hit my first target then my trade is covered, and I am free to let the remainder of my position run a little longer to another supply/demand level. Great questions, thank you.
Ooh. Good choice!
There's always a bit of luck involved when you get a strong runner. Thank you.
