Monday March 18th, 2019 Sleep: 7.5 hours. Mood: good, a little tired. Only took one trade today, an ORBD in WP. i risked the body of the first five minute candle (about a $1). i wanted to get to the LOPM but i started scaling out around 2R. accidently added 50% more but i kept a level head and scaled out. i bailed on my last 2 shares when it looked like it was going to pop above the VWAP and hit my breakeven. i typically do a range order to b/e to my target but I was confident it was going to pop. I was wrong it bounced off the VWAP and went back to the LOTD. GOOD: setup and R/R RFI: adding shares on accident. MOOD: good CONSISTENT: yes What i did good today: only took a trade but it was a good one. What i did bad today: hotkey error What can i do better tomorrow: be mindful of which hotkeys you're hitting Other comments for tomorrow: keep up the good trading.

Live trading summary for week ending 3/15/19. From a quality standpoint, this week was pretty good. For the most part I took good setups, broke rules infrequently and generally managed the trades OK. Though it’s not supposed to be important at this stage of learning, my low win rate this week started to affect me and I was close to breaking my maximum trade rule on Friday. Luckily I was able to turn off the platform and walk away before taking another trade. My trade evaluation by week: This week was interesting since I finish taking 30+ 2min ORB trades since I started live on the DAS platform. 30 is the minimum trades that I will analyze the data. So out of the 31 trades my win rate on the 2min ORB setup was only 65%. My win$/Loser$ ratio was not very good either making this not a profitable setup. Yes my % is much higher when I don’t break rules, but I don’t want to look at the “what ifs”. What is interesting about the data is my win rate for stocks I have never traded before was 45%. And the win rate for the stocks that I have traded at least once before was 75%. With that info I need to make some adjustments. Now I don’t want to stop taking 2min ORBs on stocks I have never traded before, but I do want to stop the preference I have for new stocks. I am always worried I am going to get into a rut trading the same stocks every day. So if I see a good setup on a familiar stock and a new one, I will always trade the new one. With this data in hand I need to stop that habit. The preference should be in the opposite direction. That will be a focus for next week.

Live trading summary of week ending 3/1/19 and month of February. Though I have been trading live for 4 months, this is the first month I felt real progress was being made. I had to go extreme with my rules for this month (only 1 trade allowed per day). But, it has really helped reduce my instinct to over trade (from extreme to just bad). It was the first month I did not go hulk. It was the first month I never hit max loss. I did break the 1 trade/day rule once on a revenge trade. It was also my first month with a positive equity. For March I will stick with the one trade a day rule, though I will allow myself a second trade if the first trade was a well executed winning trade. I can’t trust myself after a losing trade. Since my equity was positive and did not go hulk in February I am increasing my risk per trade from $25 to $30. In February I reread both the Daily Trading Coach and Trading in the Zone. Stats for February: Total # of trades 21 Hulk Days 0 Max Loss Days 0 Broke max trade rule 1 Hoy Key Mistakes 1 Good Trade % 43% Neutral Trade % 33% Bad Trade % 24% As for summary of the week ending 3/1/19. Not a good week. Good Trades Neutral Trades Bad Trades 3 1 3 Four out of five days I would consider as bad trading days. Adding 2/22/19 Friday was also quite bad, I am left with only one good day out of the last six that I was happy with my trading. This has left me with very high doubts about my trading again. So next week need to work on checklist especially being careless with the Risk/Reward. Problems need to be fixed internally and externally. As for internally, I will verbally go through my checklist (I video on all my trades with mic on, so it will be recorded) before I take a trade. This is a bit embarrassing to admit that I need to do after trading for 4 months live. As for external improvements, it seems this month on DAS I never got over the habit of having my tech levels automatically listed for you the way Etrade-Pro does. So I was sloppy double checking my levels before a trade. So beside increasing my margins, I will place a note on each chart (I assume DAS has a way for you to do this) from now on listing the two neighboring major levels above and below the opening price.
