So watching this on a 1 minute chart this morning, I would have entered this when it hit around 148 and then gotten out at around153.43. What's everyone's thoughts?

Not the greatest play but I am just starting to focus on and learn the ORB. I was looking for a third day momentum continuation on news of a new study. Got in at 8.76, fought for about 15 minutes but then but got stopped out at my limit of 8.60.

Hey guys, Im from Atlanta and moved here a few years ago after living in Chicago for years. I started trading during the pandemic in 2020 and mostly taught myself. Luckily thanks to that bull run I doubles my trading principal by the end of the year but 2021 and beyond wasnt so forgiving so looking to learn better trading strategies. I primarily swing trade and also do some very basic options trading. My goal is to supplement my current day job income and hooefully one day replace it and quit the ol 9-5. My time available to trade is primarily on my days off of work when I’m at work I only have a few minutes here and there to check the markets, hence why swing trading works the best for me. My biggest challenge is finding the proper entry and exit points and I also need to improve on risk management strategies.

Everyone in trading says the same thing: quit your job, go all in, commit fully. That advice has destroyed more trading careers than any bad setup ever has. I started trading in 1999. I didn't go full-time until the end of 2007. Eight years. Most people would call that slow. I call it the reason I'm still here. Here's the truth nobody wants to hear: when your rent depends on your P&L, every losing trade becomes an emotional emergency. You revenge trade. You over-size. You abandon the system. Not because you're a bad trader — because you're a broke trader. The money pressure kills the psychology before the strategy has time to work. That's why I built the Double Dip framework. Keep your job. Build your trading account. Two income streams running in parallel. One funds your life. One builds your future. Your job isn't the enemy — it's the factory that funds the operation. The math backs it up. A $25K account growing even 3% per month becomes ~$36K in a year when you're not pulling from it to pay bills. Full-time traders can't do that. They're withdrawing to survive. The working trader who treats profits as sacred capital compounds at a rate most full-timers can't match during the learning phase. I just published the full framework — the schedule, the setups, the account-building math, the exact checklist I used before I walked away from employment income for good. This is everything I wish someone had handed me in 2001. 👉 Read it here: https://www.bullsonwallstreet.com/post/how-to-day-trade-while-working-full-time
