This is my gaming setup that I am slowly converting into my trading setup. I built the computer and the cabinets/desk. My twins just turned 1 month old and we got sooo lucky with our first kids being a boy and a girl. My real name is Jordan. I work in a power plant near Dallas, Tx and the powerlines are 345,000 volts

I read "How to Day Trade for a Living" over a year and a half ago, I join the chatroom while I was still reading the book. The chatroom has been an invaluable resource for learning not only good trading habits, but the psychology of trading as well. After a year of trading my husband joined me and now we trade together everyday. Thanks to the BBT community!! Michelle and Nathan

I hear ya! I had three trades today that didn’t go my way initially and I had multiple chances to exit at b/e, but held on to them hoping they would magically go my way. Although I was confident in the setups to begin with after another 5 minutes of holding the position the setup was much different and I would have never entered at that point but I refused to be wrong. And it cost me. What I learned today was that b/e is sometimes a W!

I have the eyes watching me all day...

Family that trade together stays together. First day trade for the pups. Whatever it takes start 'em young.

those are mine!

Converted a typical closet into a trade station. I added a 'peel n stick' wood wall paneling and installed a 3 pot-light lamp above with dimmer switch.

I have been following Andrews daily recaps for a long time, read his books and finally ended up joining his community ... I am a the newbie around here and feel that this is where I belong. Trading is much much more than the P&L at the end of the day !

Curious to know if others here are running DAS Trader on a Mac. I am (Macbook Pro), and currently using a trial copy of CrossOver. DAS crashed last Friday -- it could be disastrous if this happens with a position open, so I'm not happy about it. In the aftermath I discovered that DAS won't support issues related to CrossOver. Their customer support was great, but in trying to understand the crash, they'd go only so far. Another issue I've encountered is an inability to span the main DAS window across monitors (this is possible with native Mac apps, and DAS states that this is a capability on PCs). The consequence is that the hotkey that focuses a montage associated to a chart works only when in my main DAS window, which is on my primary monitor. It will not function on secondary monitors, where i need to place DAS charts, montages, etc. that have been popped-out of the main window. While in this early phase with DAS, and still in the CrossOver trial period, it makes sense to also test a virtual machine. VMWare's Fusion gets high marks and has a 30-day trial, but I need to purchase Windows OS, which is available for $110 (or less on 3rd party sites where I won't use my CC). Considering this cost, thought I'd ask for feedback from others here who use DAS on a Mac with a virtual machine. If you're out there, please let me know if you've encountered any issues worth sharing.

Friday 5/31/2019 I had a well-being score of 5.5/10 this morning (only 4.5 hours a sleep). My nerves were OK. Since it was Friday I traded half share sizes today. I took two live trades with AMD then FB. I was actually looking at FB at the open. Lots of volume and a nice hammer. I was waiting to pull the trigger long when it broke the 50MA. It didn’t so I moved my attention to AMD. AMD bounced hard off the 200MA-1min and made a nice candle. There were 4 levels all bunched together around 27.6 so I waited for a clean break of all the levels and went long. The price did reach my first target for a partial, but never reached my second partial even though the volume stayed strong. Then I exited at B/E. My next trade was with FB. I was looking for a 5min ORB and I saw FB 1min candles bouncing between VWAP and the 50MA-1min. The candles were hammers, but when FB has a fight with VWAP and the 50MA, lately the 50MA has been winning. So I really didn’t know which way it would break. It did finally break down through VWAP, but I waited for the price to break the $180 level, since there was a false VWAP break 2min earlier and FB respected the $180 level in premarket. I shorted at the break of $180. I was so focused on FB I didn’t look at any other chart for the last 2 minutes. As soon as I entered the trade I noticed all my other stocks on my watch list have now gone bullish. Uh oh. Not enough of a signal for me to get out of the trade, but I definitely had my finger on cover-all. I exited at planned S/O. What it looked like when I took the trade: 1min 5min My score card for today: What I did good today: Took two OK trades. How did I challenge myself today? Waited for level breaks, did not enter too early. What I did bad today: Trading the 5min ORB like a 2min ORB out of reflex. But the setups and entries are different. What can I do better tomorrow: Lots of data crunching this weekend. This month did not go very well. I need to determine my training plan for next month.

Friday May 31st, 2019 Sleep: 7 hours. Mood: good, ready to trade. first trade was an ORBD in $T. got a great entry and it did trend down for a little bit. it bounced off of $30.75 and then the next time it came near that level there were big bids below the low and i was confident i was going to get to my profit target but it didn't break and starting trending higher on the 5min chart and i got out at my breakeven. if i was a more seasoned trader, i could have bought twice my share size and rode it up but i got stuck in the hopeful stage that it would try the low again. at least i got out way before my stop loss. GOOD: good setup, good R/R, good getting out of a losing trade. RFI: could have flipped my position when it didn't hit the LOTD. MOOD: good CONSISTENT: yes. Last trade of the day i thought at the time was an ABCD in $ZUO but looking at it after it kind of already tried that move and i got it on the second try so i catergorized this as a no setup. I was in the right direction but it couldn't break the HOTD and i got out around breakeven. GOOD: got out when it rejected HOTD RFI: not really a setup. this would have been a good candidate for top fishing MOOD: good CONSISTENT: yes. wow what a slow friday for me but i guess a boring breakeven friday is better than an exciting red day. What i did good today: took good trades, didn't feel any strong emotions about my trades not working What i did bad today: not recognizing sooner that T wasn't going to break lower What can i do better tomorrow: when you see signs of something happening and then it doesn't happen (i.e. big bids below the LOTD expecting it to break but doesn't), act on it!

Break even is always a W! You can always get back in if the setup is still valid.

May 30, 2019 - $AMD x 2 (2 Partials) I not sure why I keep gravitating towards $AMD this week, but I do. Maybe because of the small gappers the past two days for mid and high float stocks. 1st Trade – Entered when the stock kept rejecting VWAP and the Moving Averages and made a new low from the previous 1 minute candle. Took profit at the low of the day and exited at my breakeven. 2nd trade – Had a great 15 min ORB setup and entered again when the stock rejected VWAP and loss the moving averages again. Took profit again at the low of the day and exited at my breakeven. It just did not want to go green to red in the morning. Sample Set Results, S P P P P S P P S G G P P 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

30.Mai.19 Red day today. Max loss day. I have been sick this week, didn't trade last couple of days. Today made 2 trades in $CY and $AMD. Today's BBT watchlist was very thin. I was interested in $BYND, $ROKU, $AMD, $TEVA. I was watching $AMD and $TEVA at the Open. $AMD had all MA's as support levels except for 50MA on 30min. I had this level at $28.5 and if the price breaks this it can really shoot up. $AMD was very very choppy at the open, I was watching for 20mins and still I couldn't find a pattern. There was no setup. Typically, when $AMD or $MU don't open well, mid-day moves are very good. So I moved on to watching other stocks. Trade 1: $CY hit the TI scanner as ORB 10min, this stock was brought up during the premarket show also. I looked at $CY and it looked very strong (all MA's in all timeframes were support.) I waited for a pullback close to VWAP and took it long. Got stopped out below VWAP. There was immediate resistence level above and the price couldn't break, eventhough it did the ORB with huge volume. $CY: Entry - $17.90, stop - 15c. Trade 2: $AMD on 2 min was just breaking the VWAP and the 50 MA, I waited for the candle to close above this level and took it long. Price pulled back close to my Stop and shot up again. Volume was supportive too. It hit my level $28.5 and was pushing above it. Suddenly $SPY dropped and AMD dropped like crazy. I got out at my Stoploss. $AMD: Entry - 28.37, Stop -10c, Profit target - $28.78 (RR-4:1). . Good: Was patient, eventhough $AMD didn't do anything at the open for close to 20mins, just watching all timeframes as it was forming (including 15min) looking for setups. Only after a confirmation went long on $AMD. on $CY, I don't take the stocks from TI scanner usually. Today I didn't just jump into the trade, I checked all the MA levels and waited for pullback for Entry on $CY. on $AMD, When the price hit $28.5 the R:R was 2:1, I didn't partial out here, but waited for my 4:1. Improvement: Hit my maxloss today for the first time. I need to reduce the share size, it appears the setup is perfect and so I am going with medium size, and getting hit. $AMD I should have got out early e.g at 9/20 MA cross on the 1min. $CY Didn't check the previous resistence from daily. May be next time do I missed the 3 candle setup on $ROKU 2 mins, I also had the level $92.3 and I was planning to go Long if price breaks it (harmonious chart here). I was actually looking at the chart and didn't notice the price crossed this level, Andrew also called $ROKU long and It didn't hit me either. I just didn't notice the levels I put in, after the market opened. I should have. P.S - On hindsight, eventhough I saw the double top on $AMD at $28.54, and I didn't take partial or get out, because I was shooting for higher R:R, the price action never crossed this level. Only WICKs touching it.

Thursday May 30th, 2019 sleep: 7 hours. Mood: good, ready to trade. trading from my laptop this morning so no 15min or daily chart to look at while trading. first trade was an ORBD on TEVA. got in at the break of the the low of premarket but it came right back up and i got out before i got squeezed GOOD: good setup, got out when the trade didn't work RFI: could have got out with less of a loss MOOD: good CONSISTENT: yes Next trade was an ABCD in BYND. it ended up making a double top and when i went to get out before my stop i doubled my position on accident. then i was too hopeful to get out at breakeven and held to my auto stop of $13. GOOD: setup was valid originally RFI: hotkey error and not getting out at dollar loss MOOD: fine CONSISTENT: no, not to plan then i took a revenge trade in BYND and got in short for only 5 shares. this one worked and it hit my range order profit. not happy about getting in on a revenge trade but my revenge trades rarely work so i don't think this one time will cause a habit. GOOD: range order and waited for my profit target RFI: revenge trade. MOOD: good CONSISTENT: no i didn't fully plan the trade. last trade of the day was a double top in TEVA. i had to get up so i missed my original entry on a new 2min low off the bounce of the PDH but it still hit my profit target. GOOD: setup, R/R, followed plan RFI: got in late MOOD: good CONSISTENT: yes, followed the plan. What i did good today: kept my emotions under control What i did bad today: Hotkey error and revenge trading What can i do better tomorrow: make sure to use the right hotkeys and never revenge trade.

Today’s trading .... pl -80 but about 50 tickers... live account that is... i relapsed and started trading like a mad man xbcbcnx (I want to use some other words but not sure about the tolerance of this forum so I’ll keep it civil...xbsndndb) first I missed a trade on amd, my order didn’t go through, then I went short on roku but also I didn’t get in.... I thought what the hell and then I noticed my montages was still locked.. perhaps this was a sign that I shouldn’t trade today, boy did I ignore that. i traded roku , mu, jd, aapl..couple of times. In The middle of all of it I managed to get back to zero once but yeah, there was still some comission cost I had to pay for.. so I pretended it was happy hour and I continued, stupid idiot. i actually thought I had the revenge trading covered.. disappointed in myself now. ill update charts later on... edit well i really traded like a 90percenter... i made 18 trades of which 13 loosers, way too much, getting in and out too quickly with no real setup. i traded again off the 1 minute with little respect for the 5 i see now. the 1 minute was very choppy on mu, i think it was heavily influenced by the spy, so not very in play. broke some rules like only get in on a pull back, i watched jd, getting higher, told myself wait wait for about 2 min but then somehow i got in at the almost top lol, only roku was a bit of a success though i missed most of the move due to my playing around with mu. and i did loose some when i went short roku which i thought was a double top. double tops seem to be difficult, i find head and shoulders more reliable., double bottoms on the other hand are easier. so now im again about breakeven for the week, friday i may not be able to trade, might be back home too late. win percentage so far this week is now 46% so not the 65 i was aiming for before i should go back live.... yesterday it was still 84% to end with a positive note, i did not start increasing my share size to make up for losses and i did not go below max loss which i told myself 100$, so maybe this means im actually improving....10% here i come :)

may 29, PL 95, 22 tickets it was not bad again but a lot of room for improvement shows up, my execution must improve a lot to take advantage of a winning trade. a trade that i unfortunately missed was goos, i went short but got an invalid share size error, not sure why. maybe it was something to do with that the stock was on SSR. need to look into this. i traded AMD first, i went long for an ORB but the price just stalled right after i got in, it looked like it didn't want to go up so i got out, then i thought it would at least go down to vwap so i got in short, partialled out and took last part when it crossed the 50ma, it didnt hold the break so i went short again just below vwap which was good but i always partial out too quickly so again i missed the good move. i really need to work on this, not sure how. later in the day, i wanted to short amd 1 more time, wanted to short it on the 9ma but my montage wasn't selected, when i noticed i got in quickly but i really shouldn't have don that. the moment i got i knew its a bad entry. i wasn't happy with it and i got out, earlier then my intended stop because it crossed the 9ma and i thought it might go higher again which it eventually did before getting more bearish again. i regretted taking this trade, i just felt like being in a trade and let myself get a bad entry. i traded roku at the open for an orb but again it didn't feel strong so i first got out 50% to reduce my share size, then got stopped out the rest, further then i wanted, my initial order didn't go through, it stayed in open order, i canceled it and send another order which got filled promptly. again, i need to take a look at my hotkeys. roku was called out in the chat that it was forming a wig, i agreed on that but i wasn't sure what to put as a good stop target and while i was wondering it broke out. i then though i will get in on a retest if it crosses the high of the day, it didn't really want to retest this level but i still got in, i didn't really catch a nice move but it was enough to pay for the earlier loss and the commissions lol. I really must work on my exits, having a good entry is key but where you exit has a huge effect on your profit. i feel this will take some time to improve. but i have to work on this, losses will definitely come again so not being able to capitalize on winning trades is a problem

take care and there is always another day, i hope you can trade the next session

Wednesday 5/29/2019 I had a well-being score of unknown value this morning. My Garmin watch essentially said I never slept. My daughter had really bad nightmares last night and I stayed up with her until she fell back a sleep (but that was 5am - already passed my wake up time). So I thought it wise never to get near my computer this morning. Wow its now six days without taking a trade. The good news is my daughter doesn't seem too drained and looked normal by the time I dropped her off at school. Maybe she was getting a few cat naps in during the night. I hope everyone's trading has gone well this week. Too bad I couldn't join in on a few trades.

Thank you Andrew for such an amazing community.

Hi all! Here is my setup. Cheers!

Tuesday 5/28/2019 I had a well-being score of 7/10 this morning. My nerves were not good due to my poor trading on my last trading day (Thursday) and worried there would be platform issues with CMEG like there was Friday. And yes again I was unable to take any trades today due to issues with CMEG. I am uncomfortable making manual orders close to the open and my DAS setup does not allow a quick change to the routing on the Montage. I tried to take a 1min ORBU on FB and order was rejected. The entry point disappeared quickly so no chance for manual entry. Then I tried a 2min ORBU on AMD and as expected my order was rejected. It’s sad because both had nice runs. I haven’t got a trade to have a good run for two weeks. Plus I am slightly negative for the month and that would have brought to the positive and I had a really bad last day of trading I needed a good day to get my confidence back. It took me about 2 hours to get over my frustration, but then I thought this is what I need to get off my rear-end and change brokers (actually I use a stand-up desk so that’s just a metaphor). I haven’t had a hulk or max loss day in 4 months I think I can trust myself now with a larger account. I was waiting for CMEG to announce their counter offer to the Alliance offer. But in reality I was being lazy. It’s time to go with a better broker. With E-trade I was almost 50/50 with long and short trades. Now I am 90% long. Yes the market has been moving upwards, but still part of it is due to the lack of shorts available on CMEG. Plus, of course the commission costs are less than desirable for me since I am still trading small. What I did good today: Recognized good setups, though unable to trade them. How did I challenge myself today: Now applying for a Centerpoint account. What I did bad today: Got frustrated not being able to trade. What can I do better tomorrow/weekend: It’s been 5 days without trading. It feels like when I can’t go for a workout in a week. I need to figure out at least how to use SIM tomorrow.

it sure is not easy, i kinda thought i could be consistent quicker but i understand now that it was wishful thinking. the past weeks i have always kept a small chart of the spy open, it sure does help sometimes, i agree that small size on a live account is the better learning way, in my case i have messed up a bit too much so i have to prove myself first i can be green on sim consistently again. this will give me some pressure to take sim seriously because im eager to go live again but it just doesn't make sense at the moment. id love to trade all day even if its just for training but that is no option for me, ideally i should stop after the first hour. but in the end that is the best hour too even its difficult for a beginner. actually the biggest losses i have made so far are after 10h30 and the best wins in the first 10 min. im still trying to improve my journaling, i have come to understand the importance of this aswell. reasons why i document some in an open journal are, there is nobody around me that i can talk too about trading and this gets me more in the community which i also have come to understand the importance off, and another reason was to make myself a bit more accountable. knowing that you will share your trades with the world makes you be more aware of emotional trading mistakes. or so i thought anyway because while im in it, i tend to forget that. but its getting better. i know it.

22.Mai.19 Red day. I had a good Premarket analysis and most of my expectations came out well, but still I lost in my only trade of the day (on $PINS). It is a lengthy journal today. I was keen on $TGT and $LOW earnings. But my final watchlist was $CRON, $PINS, $SE and then $TGT, $LOW. Apart from that I had few other stocks I wanted to check at the end of the day($QCOM, $BYND etc.,) The reason for picking $PINS was that it was hanging by a thread to fall down below the PCL and YY low on daily. The premarket low was $25.12 and it had the setting to come down till $23. $PINS indeed dumped after the premarket low of $25.12. The reason for picking $CRON was it gapped up while most other stocks gapped down with $SPY. More importantly it was sitting above the 20MA on the daily, and it had the setting to go up till $17.3 once it popped above the 20MA ($15.76). $CRON did popup till $16.48 and was a great 5min ORB. The reason for picking $SE was that it had gapped up due to earnings, but it had a high short float of 41% ($TSLA short float is 28%). Shorts tend to cover when the stock gaps up. I have never traded $SE before, and that is why it was no 3 in the list. $SE did popup and ended at premarket high of 34.85 (although tough to trade) Why i didn't pick $TGT and $LOW as first choice. Though $TGT had gapped up, it had 200 MA and 50 MA as resistence on the daily, I was not sure how it will play out. Similarly, $LOW had gapped down but I wasn't sure how it will play out around $100 support level. Eventually $TGT did close below the 200, 50 MAs on the daily and $LOW paused at $100 and eventually went down till $97.50. Back to my $PINS trade. I had $CRON and $PINS on 2 montages. $CRON went down at the open and i was thinking may be it will trace it back to 9MA daily and continue to dump. It took 5 mins for the price to be bullish again. In the mean time I already jumped Short into $PINS the moment it broke the $25.12 level. I had given only 10c stoploss (till VWAP). But the price traced back to premarket high (25c) before it dumped. I was just watching the price to cross my stoploss and go against me, but eventually stopped out. Then the dump came which is what I expected. Entry: 25.10, Stoploss - 10c (VWAP) Profit1 - $24.4 (RR-3/1) Profit2 - $24.1 (RR-10/1). Stopped out at $25.32 Good: Premarket analysis was good. And most of them eventually would have worked out. I don't think I made a mistake in keeping VWAP as stoploss, it has worked for me before and this was one off. Improvement: The volume was low at the open and the price tends to fluctuate big due to that (like a low float). The spread is also high. When this happens wait for 15 mins. I learnt this today. After 15 mins when volume came in, $PINS traded very nicely. I just now noticed that there was no candle formation on the 9.30, Nothing, no body, no wick. I should wait for the setup to pan out 100% instead of jumping in the moment it meets my target expectation. I let the price go past my stoploss. I would have stopped out early, but having one trade per day is playing out in my mind again. I don't want to miss the party.

16.Mai.19 Earnings season, I had $CSCO, $MU, $TWTR $BYND and $GPRO on the watchlist. I traded $CSCO. Red day. I have marked 54.4 to be an important level for $CSCO, At the open it broke thru the level and went up. It didn't give any pullback and I didn't want to chase it. i waited for the reversal. A shooting star appeared on 30 mins at resistence, next candle opened below the resistence. I took short and put in a range order to profit at VWAP, went for shopping. I was so confident about this one, because this also happened after 12PM, which is usually when the strong reversal happens (higher timeframes). The price went my way about 10c and then pulled up. Got me stopped out. $CSCO was very strong thru the day, even $SPY reversed to VWAP that day. Usually $CSCO follows $SPY but not today, may be due to the Earnings. Good: Patience, didn't chase at the Open, waited for the Reversal on a Higher timeframe, after 12PM. Improvement: I don't think I would have done anything different. P.S: Now I can see that when I took short after the shooting star, all the MAs are trending up. It is safer to take Reversal, when the MAs are Trending down, or atleast Flat.

15.May.19 I have been busy this week and also quite tired, so was not able to post it daily, Posting this weeks trades together. I will try my best it more frequently. I had $TEVA, $MU and $AMD on watchlist, $ARCI from LF was also on the watchlist. I traded $AMD and got stopped out. $AMD was bullish at the Open and offered ORB up. I didn't take it as the R;R was not good, because there was 200MA on 1 min above. I waited 15 mins and decided to take Short below VWAP. The 12min candle had big body and volume and closed below VWAP. I waited for a confirmation on the 13 min candle, it opened and closed below VWAP. I took Short now below the support, but price bounced back from VWAP (sort of False breakout) and went up again. On hindsight, along with VWAP, 50MA was also acting as strong support (may be I was just too tired to see that). Nevertheless respected my Stoploss and got out. Entry: $26.94, SL: 10c, Profit: $26.75 (3;1-R/R) Good: 1. I didn't take ORBU, as the R;R was not so good. This is something I haven't done before, I would have jumped in earlier. 2. I read the price action right and also respected my Stoploss. Improvement: 1. Not to Trade when tired/exhausted as not able to focus completely. 2. should have noticed the strong support(50MA)

This is an amazing setup!!! Love it! Nice touch with the clocks up top, I also have that same Classic Chart Patterns! Now, who is the better trader?? Just kidding Best of luck to you both!

Hi Andrew, I am really benefiting from the community you and your team have established. I like the morning chat room and the educational videos. Keep up the excellent work. -Devin

Hello Everyone, I am entering my 2ed year with BearBull Traders and have had a great 1st year and am looking forward to many more. I can't say enough on how much has changed in just the last year with BBT and I'm looking forward to seeing what Andrew and the whole team has in store for the year to come. Thank you Team BearBull Traders.

I love bear bull trades community. I am a lifetime member with them since 2018. Andrew is a great teacher. I have completed all the classes and training on the simulator. If you are in the market to learn anything specially about day trading and don’t want to get scammed then it is the best community no doubt.

Greetings all! Like trading, the equipment is always evolving. I wanted to resubmit my trade setup as a panorama, since it takes all my attention during the morning. I have been "learning" to trade longer than many members have been on this planet. Bear Bull Traders is one of the best educational training sites around. We can learn more from watching Andrew trade for 45 minutes than a person can learn at a four year university. Trading is difficult and we all have different personalities, strengths and weaknesses. A community like BBT is the best avenue to learn and develop the skill, attitude and discipline to succeed. Also, all the moderators, Carlos, Brian, Norm are great! William H.'s recaps in the afternoon are some of the best trading education for new traders!

08.May.19 Today is another red day. I was watching lot of stocks, especially this being an Earnings season. I had apprx 15 stocks, out of which I picked 4 to watch at the Open. $EA, $NVDA, $AMD, $LYFT. I think all of them traded decently and lot of traders in the chatroom traded these stocks very well. I didn't. I am still under PDT rule. So 3 trades per week. Today I had one trade limit for the day (I can trade the other 2 only tomorrow). I didn't have good sleep. Also there is construction work going on near by apartment, that is very loud and annoying. It will continue for few more days, I am afraid. I was experiencing different emotions today, I was very cautious (probably over cautious) to put my one trade on the right setup. I missed the ORBU on AMD. $AMD usually moves up 40-50 Cents, today it moved up close to a dollar after the first 15 mins. I was ready for the reversal, a Hanging man appeared on 2 min followed by a shooting star (Marked below in blue arrow). Usually this is a good reversal indicator. I went Short, first target at VWAP, Stop loss 15c. The price went my way initially, but SPY was too strong today, and i got stopped out. Positives: I was Patient, my nerves are calming a little bit unlike the first 2 days Live. I watched the indicators and had a clear plan before entering I didn't partial as the price moved only 10c. Improvement: 1. I was analyzing too many stocks, I am going to cut it down to less than 10, and then 2-3 to watch finally at the open. 2. I had a mindset that today most of the stocks are going to be bearish, after doing the Premarket tech analysis. But one tweet from the president can change the emotions of the entire market. I have to be open. 3. It may sound strange but I was like, i am within my daily loss for the day, so I am going to hold onto my position, till market reaches my Stoploss (like I owe it to the market) 4. My pshychology played me out. As I had only one trade for the day, I wanted to hold on to a losing $AMD trade, although the indications were clear that I was wrong. What indications? The 5 min chart had a clear Higher Highs, I should have stopped before hitting my stoploss (check the 2nd chart), I wasn't watching 5min chart. I have a rule that if my setup isn't working then I should exit (Guerilla trading). I was holding on to my position for full 10-12 mins, with no action. I had already realized during the trade, that the price action was too far away from 9MA (1min) and so any reversal, may only be a pullback, before going up. So far, I have respected my stoploss each day. I feel that I am missing the best part of the market setup due to the PDT rule.I may have to reconsider my Funding plan.

This is my humble set up as of now. Currently trading on Simulator. Very grateful to have come across Andrew's Book and the BBT Community. I am a lifetime member, so it'll be my pleasure working with you all during this lifetime! Andrew's book is important but so is that Coffee Maker!

I have been trading with Andrew for over 1 and half year now. The best thing I like this community is the help and education from each other. People here are just sharing the most honest opinions and hard learning experience to help new traders. I have learned a lot from you guys. So, a big thanks for Andrew, and other members, Robert, Carlos, Brian, Norm, William, etc. I did not trade with my current setup at very beginning. I gradually upgrade to what I have today. I have four trading monitors, two are wide screen, which I actually learn from Robert's setup. I have 9 montage, but one montage is mainly for switching back and forth based on Trade Ideas' alert. I mainly trade on my other 8 montages. I have another IMAC to watch the chat room and Benzinga news. My next step is to buy one or two more screens for my current PC, so that I can run everything on one computer.

Forget about the goal, work on your process and results will come. My setup, kinda improvisation desk, still just 1 extra monitor. My seat is a second hand embody chair, I like that one

Is it the job of an owl TRADER to scan for opp ortunities with patience and an open mind?

Two computers with eight monitors. My primary unit has six monitors and the laptop has two screens. I usually watch 8 stocks that are in play and six secondary possible continuation stocks on the overhead 2K 37" screen. I have three montages. One screen for watching the $SPY, market clock, and network connectivity to DAS. The outermost right Dell monitor is for the chat room. The laptop is my hot backup with CNBC and other news feeds. I have a Bluetooth headset and a wireless mouse. I custom built this workstation. It is basically a gaming machine. Here are the hardware spec: Intel i-7 6700K @ 4.00Ghz 64 GB of DDR4 3200 RAM 500 GB SSD NVIDIA GTX 970 with two additional USB to VGA ASUS Maximus VIII Hero ATX motherboard Intel 10/100 NIC TV stand:: Amazon ASIN: B07581Z9SM Two monitor stand:: Amazon ASIN: B07MC9YX63 I believe Andrew Aziz is a very rare person because at his core he is a teacher first, daytrader second. He is passionate about changing people's lives for those who would apply his knowledge and instructions. He is the second person I have met in person that operates his business at an incredible level of integrity. The other person with strong integrity is Dave Ramsey. Every morning, when Andrew is not summiting a mountain, he shares transparently over 15 years of knowledge only gained from an unforgiving market that does not hesitate to trap money from an unsuspecting new trader. I have watched for over two years, an excess of 500 videos of Andrew and his team's trade recaps. Andrew and his team's success is that they trade the same set of strategies that are described clearly in his book. You can be suspicious of a strategy if only one person is successful at it. You could still be suspicious of his team that trades the same strategy. If you want, you still can be suspicious when members are successful using Andrew's strategy. However, when you combine the number of trades taken by all the traders over time, the evidence is demonstrating counter to your belief. Bruce Lee said, "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

Guys, you all are KILLING it in this thread!!! I thought I had a pretty decent setup, but I’m jealous of every one I’ve seen. Great stuff!

Andrew, Here is my trading computer/monitor set up with my standing desk in our office. The window looks out to the pool, but it's just a teaser, as we're still getting snow in May in Rochester, NY. Thanks for founding BBT. You guys are one one of the friendliest and most civilized group of traders. I am glad I joined and hope to contribute to the community in the future. Karl588

I've been part of the BBT community since the end of 2017. I did the trial membership at first because I was skeptical of day trading but after watching Andrew's classes and Youtube videos I saw how transparent and honest he is about day trading and the risks involved. I signed up for the yearly membership and then the lifetime membership when it became available. The chatroom and resources available in the education center have been really valuable, there's so much that I learn everyday from all the great resources that the community has available.

It took me 2 weeks (a trial subscription) to realize that BBT is indeed a community of serious traders. No gimmicks, no empty promises, no BS. Just valuable info and an enormous support of the great community. I'm just in the very beginning of my journey, and BBT makes it easier to cope with ups and downs. And god knows there are many of those in this business. Can't thank you enough for everything!

Hi, I am really happy that I joined BEAR BULL TRADERS community. I tried roughly 10 different chats in the past 2 years, and nothing compares to Andrews room. Everyone who is on microphone during the day are very helpful. The most important thing is that I became a consistent trader. This community provides the best tools, educational content and a support. I am a member for life. Thanks! Sincerely, Stockoperator

So far I have run DAS on Parallels, and directly on a native Windows 10 install (bootcamp). It was running flawlessly for me until last week (about 2 weeks of trouble free use). I was running dual monitors, multiple windows across both, etc. THEN, a problem, which I have just given up on. I created some custom hot buttons in my montage window, and they were working fine for a while. Then, all of a sudden, they compressed vertically, and are so thin that I can't really use them effectively--I'm afraid I'll mis one and click the other. It's very strange. Same issue on any Windows environment on the Mac. After fighting it, I setup a spare PC with my existing DAS layouts, and they loaded up fine. No idea what the issue is, but I have given up trying to use my MacBook Pro with DAS. Good luck!

I briefly tested DAS on my iMac and it worked fine, however I didn't use an emulator, I booted directly to windows. I would be wary are running DAS in crossover. If you have to use emulation, use a windows emulator like parallels or Fusion.
