Mike Shorr’s Live Q&A: His Trade Stats & Swing Positions

Mike Shorr sat down for another live Q&A with his trading room, and this one gets into the numbers most traders never share. His current swing positions, why he leans on one specific ticker, and exactly what his winners look like next to his losers.

Mike covers:

  • The swing trades Mike’s watching in the middle of a busy trading week
  • Why he trades the name over and over instead of chasing tickers
  • His actual average number of trades per day, down to the decimal
  • The real math behind his win rate, and how his winners compare in size to his losers
  • A pre-market data trick he pieced together himself for his trading platform
