Monday February 25th, 2019 Sleep: 7.5 hours. Mood: good, ready early and ready to trade. First trade was an ORBU on AMD. got a great entry risking the high of the pre market to the break of HOTD and above. i sold half at the high of the day then another half at close to the $24.50 mark then held the last 25% for break even. had i got out at a new 5min low, I would have made a little bit more on the trade. GOOD: entry was good, R/R was good RFI: shouldn't have held my first sell untill the break of HOTD not at it. MOOD: happy CONSISTENT: yes. Next trade was an engulfing in AMD. I was hoping for a breakout to the HOTD again but it ended up double topping and dropped significantly. glad i got out. GOOD: got out when it didn't make the move i expected RFI: engulfing is not one of the setups i'm working on right now so i shouldn't have taken that trade. that was a little bit of a revenge trade on just getting stopped out of my AMD shares the trade before MOOD: glad i got out of the way when i did CONSISTENT: yes Last trade of the day was a MA trend in MU. once i realized AMD might just chop around all day i noticed MU was trending nicely. i got in on a pullback, i could have got a better entry but I didn't want to miss it. i set a range order and walked away. it hit my exact target but i didn't get filled. i almost bailed after that but every time i bail on a trade just because i don't like it and it hasn't hit my stop, it usually ends up at my profit target. so i moved my range up to $42.95 and left it again and that one got filled. GOOD: didn't overreact when i didn't get filled at my profit target. stuck with it and made a good trade. RFI: need to watch the market even if i have range orders in MOOD: happy that the trade ended up working CONSISTENT: yes. What i did good today: Discipline on the trades that i took. What i did bad today: Took a trade that was not one of my setups. What can i do better tomorrow: on your ORBS in your favor, give a minute or two to break the HOTD. Other comments for tomorrow: First time hitting my daily goal in over a month. keep up the good trading tomorrow.

February 25, 2019 - $JD (Partial) Had a good setup on $JD, took a Partial and then the stock moved back to the break even point, so I exited in accordance with my profit taking plan. After one more drop and pullback $JD finally moved to the profit target I looking for. Sometimes it works, Sometimes it doesn't Sample Set Results P G S G S 6 7 8 S S P 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply/clarifications! -Jamie

Ryan, I would welcome the opportunity to give back to the community if it would help others. 1. How long have you been a member of the BBT community? - Since 04/18 2. Are you active in the chatroom/forums? - Semi-active I would say. I am still running my business while trading the first 2 hours of the market so trying not to over-extend myself. Also, as a fairly new trader I am more inclined to keep my mouth shut and learn than to share too many opinions that I might discover later were ill-advised. 3. Do you feel confident in speaking with a stranger via email? - Of course! 4. Are you willing to share your email and name with a prospective member? - No issue with that. 5. Are you confident in your trading to answer potential questions about profitability and other questions from the prospective member? - I am. I was in sim for about 3 months before trying to go live last July/August. That didn't go well so I went back to sim and dabbled with live trading again sporadically in the fall, but I could tell I was still not ready and having some unhealthy reactions. Finally I went live January 7th (with small risk - why didn't I do that the first time!?) and after a bit of a rocky start again, I am now ahead of my projections, confident in my trading, and (most important) not reacting emotionally when unexpected things happen.

Hi. 1. How long have you been a member of the BBT community? - Over a year officially. 2. Are you active in the chatroom/forums? - Yes 3. Do you feel confident in speaking with a stranger via email? Of course! 4. Are you willing to share your email and name with a prospective member? Only if you give me a BBT e-mail 😉 Just kidding. I've got no problem communicating with others via my personal e-mail. 5. Are you confident in your trading to answer potential questions about profitability and other questions from the prospective member? Yes.

Mike B, Amazing detail on your trade plan. Big props to you for that. I have a couple questions though regarding your 15-minute ORB strategy (from your original post): In the Indicators section: 1. You mention 'small share size with high volume' - what does that mean? 2. Regarding 'Has a direction upward or downward (higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, lower lows)' - is that on the 5-minute chart or 2-minute chart or 1-minute chart? In the Confirmations section: 1. Regarding 'No large wicks/candles (wick cannot be larger than body, candles body not larger than ½ ATR)' - is this for the 15-minute candle I assume? Anyway, awesome journaling! You've got lots of success ahead of you. -Jamie

It’s great to see you have the discipline NOT to trade (force a trade). That is my biggest struggle.
