    Weekly Analysis of trading I would classify this week as an $AMD week. I was very happy with the way I traded except for the missed trade on $DAL on Wednesday. It setup up perfectly for me, but I did not want to be wrong and missed the entry. I was seeing the charts much better this week and started using some of my strengths to help with my weaknesses. Understanding that I will stop out when it hits my stop is important in providing comfort on entries that I am not sure about. I need to come to grips that I am going to be wrong and being wrong is ok in this business. Weekly Overall Self Rating: Good Daily Goal Hit – 5 of 5 Goals for Next Week 1. I did well on focusing on not taking any trades outside my sample set, and keeping FOMO in check, especially with the 5 min Orb strategy. 2. My first goal is to not hesitate on entries that met my criteria and to come to grips with being wrong. 3. Continue to improve thinking in probabilities Risk Controls this week 1. Did not trigger Max Loss control. 2. I did not hit Max Shares traded in a day. Trading Methodology for Next Week 1. I increased $ risk per trade and felt no increase in emotional pressure during my trades. I am considering increasing $ risk per trade again next week. 2. Still executing my current trading plan (5 min orb live, 15 min orb live, Bearish engulfing crack/Reversals sim) Sample Set 2 Results P G S P E S P P P 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 G - Hit Profit target or took Partials and exited at B/E or technical out R - Stopped out # - Trade outside my Edge

    April 12, 2019 - $AMD (Partial + 1) Took a 5 min ORBD on $AMD. I got a partial, and took another half out near the profit target. I exited when it broke the 9 EMA. Another good trade on $AMD. Eventually, after a strong pullback it went down near my profit target. Sample Set Results P G S P E S P P P 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

    Live trading summary for week ending 4/12/19. Definitely a better week than last week. My health improved enough that I was able to trade live every day this week. I changed my rule from 1+1 trade/day max (only trade a second time if first one was a winner) to 2 trades/day max. The first trade can be a looser but it must be a good trade and I have to have my revenge emotions in check. This only occurred once this week but it went well. My nerves were bad this week and the incident from the previous week of back to back -2R losses still haunt me. Three days this week I did not take a second live trade. I just thought I had one good trade let’s not ruin a good day with a potentially bad second trade. But this will impede my learning if I go back to one trade a day. I still had simulator switching issues this week as well and worked with DAS support again. There seems to be an overly thorough way of converting the platform to my demo account. It worked but its 65 mouse clicks to convert. That’s a bit too much. My trade evaluation by week: And SIM this week: Next week I need to work on my nerves and let myself take two live trades a day again. Have a good weekend.

    Friday 4/12/2019 I had a well-being score of 5/10 this morning. Nerves were better, but then I noticed my platform wasn’t setup completely (30 sec before open). Though I got everything setup by open, my nerves were bad again. I took one live trade today with AAPL. AAPL was a “simple” 2min ORB setup. The forming 2min candle had a bullish wick and VWAP break was near the top. It also had good partial taking levels above it. I waited for it to break the 200MA and went long. Got a good fill. I assume because of my nerves I took too many partials. The first partial was planned to be the 50MA. But I took one at a nearby premarket local high. Not a horrible place to take a partial if you have no other levels, but I did. Then I took a partial at the 50MA and then took a really bad partial in the middle of nowhere L Next partial was at the 200 dollar mark and the final piece when it reached the high of premarket at 200.13, but I got a not so good fill on that. I really wanted a good trading day going into the weekend. I know I am supposedly just focusing on the process, but it was nice to get a +2R winner and call it one and done for the day. I took a break and came back and saw a good setup, but I knew after 65 mouse clicks to switch it back to SIM the setup would be gone. That deflated me to take any SIM trades and so I just watched the charts and the chatroom for a while to see what others were trading and I called it a week. What it looked like when I took the trade: 1min chart 5min chart What I did good today: I like my trade on AAPL. I finished the week on a positive. How did I challenge myself today? Took two days of “simple” setups. My trading was being dominated by “step” and “Vish” setups recently. What I did bad today: Too many partials on AAPL. What can I do better tomorrow: Still need to catch up on my weekend training/reviewing. Be prepared for next week.

    No need to set neg or pos.. Just enter the amount you want the trail stop to be and based on your position Das will execute based on your Sell or Buy.
