June 27, 2019 - Nothing I came back after yesterday and trade well. Unfortunately, my entry criteria did not appear, so I did not get an opportunity to take a trade. I was looking at $CAG and $AMD. $AMD pull backed towards VWAP and shot off to the moon, while $CAG bounced around the VWAP and did not setup like I wanted. My goal for today was to forget about yesterday and only trade a solid setup. In the end I met my goal, even though I did not get to take a live trade.

27.Jun.19 - DASTrader - BT Small Green day. I have already decided to trade small today, at the Open my mouse was not responding properly too. So just one trade and done. Some days, I just need small green to change the Trend. Watchlist: I had $NVDA, $ROKU, $QD also $AMD and $MU. Later $WBA. Trade 1: $WBA. In the room Andrew called out $WBA during premarket, I liked the daily, so I included that too. Today I was specifically looking for 3C pullback ORB setup. Only $WBA was setting up for that. I took it at the break, volume was still not so great. I exited, no partial, it didn't move much. Found my wireless mouse not responding so I was done for the day. Also noted $CRON setting for the 3c pullback ORB on 5min. I didn't take it because the trade volume was less than 1M at that time. Good: Traded as per plan, small size. Stopped after realizing hardware is not working.

Hi Mike, Can you please tell me what did you use to create the template in? Was it OneNote? Excel? Secondly can you share that with me please Thanks Munish

The one thing I have learned about trading is you are never alone with this stuff. Yesterday I was following my plan, tried to get a fill short on ABBV I think it was, and didn't get filled cause of the SSR and missed an awesome move. It completely derailed my process and trading edge and I started chasing MU, AMD, etc. I thought I was becoming immune to that kind of reaction (the CHIMP!) but it happened practically subconsciously. Finally 4R later I realized the damage I was doing and shut it down. Re-grouped and had a great day today... Thanks for sharing...

I joined BBT in Jan 2017 with no prior trading experience, and no prior trading education other than Andrew's book. As you'd expect, it was a bewildering experience to see the live fire of the trading environment. Andrew and the BBT mods eased that entry tremendously through their chatroom commentary, on the forum, in email, and the YT recaps. Since that time, additions of the pre-market show, ADog's epically-detailed trade reviews, and everything else that comes with a BBT membership only serve to increase learning opportunities offered by this community. The BBT style never fit my personality, and even early on when I was overwhelmed by "unknown unknowns", this was intuitively evident. I therefore began to explore the universe of potential approaches to trading, in search of something more matched to my strengths. My single desire for the community, then and now, is a greater diversity of discrete trading styles / systems, led by experienced traders. I know from conversations held with other members, as well as comments in chat, that not everyone is so lucky to begin their trading journey with with BBT. This truly is a place geared towards community and education. I have not found BBT's level of camaraderie anywhere else, and regardless of where your trading journey takes you, there is absolutely no better place to begin than right here. If the style suits your strengths, it has all that you need to become a great trader.

For me, it's not so much the chatroom and all the services they offer, but moreso, the people within it. I believe one of the most important parts of a chatroom is to have people participating who are willing to share their experiences and offer mentorship to those who are just starting/struggling. You can call out stocks to trade all day long, but unless traders understand WHY it's being called out, it doesn't really do anyone any long term favors. Sure, you can take the same trades as a more experienced trader, and you might make some money -- but making money following another does not make you a successful trader. That's one of the reasons I prefer BBT over a few other chatrooms I've been in. Andrew and Co. are not only willing, but INSIST on teaching strategies, psychology, etc. to the new/struggling traders and they almost force you to become educated. Oh, and did I mention he doesn't charge me an arm and a leg to learn from him?

Joined BBT community in September 2017 after day trading 9 months on my own. Wish I had found Andrew’s book and the community earlier, but since then the knowledge gained and support of BBT has been amazing!
