The purpose of intraday trading is to grow small capital, using the leverage effect of margin accounts/options, allowing capable people who lack capital to quickly accumulate initial capital for future investment!" was not executed well enough;4️⃣ After chasing highs, if the trend fails to continue and $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US) also fails to break new highs, should decisively close the position and wait;5️⃣ Switching targets by sliding the "title bar" is much more efficient than clicking into each one, exiting, and then moving to the next;6️⃣ The stop-loss order essentially became a "seat belt," only to prevent sudden loss expansion from unexpected market moves, the actual closing is still mainly done by manually clicking the close button at market price." datetime: "2026-04-09T17:00:16.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/39815226.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/39815226.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/39815226.md) author: "[真的很開門](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/15145695.md)" --- # $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US)04/09/2026Today's opening… ### Related Stocks - [SPY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPY.US.md)
