 Good Morning! 
Warren Buffet has a famous quote: "Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful."
And what he's saying is, I'm gonna take my $100 billion and dip buy when everyone's scared. Then I'm gonna sell when everybody's greedy.
But Warren doesn't trade penny stocks … And you can't do what Warren Buffet does — unless you have billions of dollars.
Think of trading penny stocks as the opposite of investing... While investors are looking for fear, I prefer to look for greed.
There's a specific way I spot it in the market and individual stocks.
This can help you gauge when it's time to jump in a trade and when to get out before emotions shift…
How to Gauge Fear and Greed in the Market Yesterday a SteadyTrade Team member asked why I look at the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) chart.
Basically, it gives me an idea of where we are on the fear and greed index. I picture something like this…  I want to gauge whether everybody's fearful or if everybody's greedy…
 SPY chart: 10-day, 2-minute candle — courtesy of StocksToTrade.com When the market's ripping, that's when people get greedy. They feel FOMO and worry they'll miss the next big runner.
That causes stocks to go higher than anyone anticipates...
That's why most of my trading patterns focus on buying strength.
How to Take Advantage of Fear and Greed In the SteadyTrade Team, we don't aim to buy stocks like Redbox Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: RDBX) at $2 on April 20 and sell on May 2 at $11.
Our philosophy is to take 50 cents a day along the way. (Remember that rhyme — it's gold!)
If you follow our philosophy it means day trading RDBX multiple times … Aim to take 50 cents per share on April 21 ... Another 50 cents on April 25 and 29 ... And maybe $2 per share on May 2…  RDBX chart: 10-day, 2-minute candle — courtesy of StocksToTrade.com Recognize when traders are greedy and are willing to hammer in their market orders and chase the stock higher. That's when you can get big moves like RDBX.
 APRN chart: 1-day, 1-minute candle — courtesy of StocksToTrade.com That morning run-up was due to longs being greedy. Anyone who missed the move on day one wanted in.
But it was also caused by fearful short sellers. Once it was over $4.30, all the shorts from day one were in the red. That's what makes short squeezes so powerful — they're a combination of intense emotions.
So even though I don't care which direction the overall markets go, knowing which emotions are at play in the market can help you…
When greed is high and you're experienced, you can be more aggressive. When fear is high, be conservative. Take smaller positions, be selective, and take profits quickly.
With experience, you'll be able to recognize fear and greed on the chart and in the price action.
But while you grow your knowledge account and experience, why not learn from multiple millionaires — in person?!
That's right … In-person learning is back!
