2 points4 October 2019 AAPL Traded this stock two times today. The first play was meant to be a harmonious chart play. After I got in because it held VWAP I realized it was a huge drop and not a pullback. Shortly after the entry I got stopped out. The second setup was a descending wedge play. On the 1 minute it made a triple bottom and I got in when it touched that the 3rd time. After I got in I saw there the 50 SMA on the 5 minute and the 9 EMA coming up on the 15 minute chart, so it was not a really a great short setup. I managed to get out at break even before it squeezed up. SRPT SRPT was gapping up on the daily chart and bullish on all the charts. Took a long position at the 3rd touch on the wedge with a stop below the previous candles. It did move in my direction, but not enough for me to take a partial. Eventually got stopped out on a big squeeze. HPQ Descending wedge on this one. Again, down trending on all the time frames and below all the moving averages. Unfortunately didn’t work out and stpped me out. Later this day it made the move I was looking for. Not really a good day. Not happy with my trades on AAPL. It messed my psychology a little bit up. The other two trades were okay but also not the best setups. Had 3 losers in a row so had to stop trading for the day.

2 points7 Oct 2019 Traded on 2 ORBs and one trade on AMD. ORBs for both RNG and SPWR. But for AMD, I think I have guessed it wrongly. I thought it is going to pop up due to the constant pullback towards the VWAP. In the end it move strongly towards VWAP and I got really scared and I exited the trade. After I observed the trade, I still got stopped out. Hope to get better each day.

1 point10-7-19 I took a long weekend and was not able to do much on 10-3 and 10-4, only premarket stuff..... Woke at 0735 with a nice 7 hours of needed sleep (this weekend was packed full of fun)..... feel rested with my SS and a coffee..... Read a little ... did not get to any exercise due to sing in issues... Did a 3 min breathing meditation PAT: Share Size.... Setup Grades.... Correct Hot Buttons... Notes: Still will continue to play with Pre 5min trading in SIM of SIM..... All trades pre 10min will also be SIM of SIM unless I feel it is an A+ setup..... I tried my pre 5min and at best B setup ORBs .... I took a bit too much on the AVYA ORBs and got stopped out twice for -127.00 and SDC pre 5min I took small share size for a loss of -22.00 and AMD for an ORB B- setup at best and a trend B- setup as it was chasing -50.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only two trades I probably would have traded Live SPWR PB#3 (B setup).... I would have taken this trade Live at the time but after further review it was not an A setup.... I was chasing this trend and had a bad entry, I also see after review that not only was the entry bad on the 2min but the 30min was on the 200ma.... -50.00 OSTK PB#3 (A setup).... didnt make the + because it was a tad above my ideal entry point and found this on the Turbo Scanner. did not have any News on Finviz or Benzinga.... I did like that it had broken the 200ma and the VWAP with force from the LVL2...... I took very small share size because of my entry and added into a full position... first partial was 25% and then three 10%, all out on serious price action change.... +95.29 Cons: Early trades I am still suffering on, I need more work on these before I even attempt to go Live with these trades...... Did not analyze the SPWR trade well enough before entry.... I did chase on both my fake Live trades Pros: Stopping at my stop loss..... Did find and identify my favorite trend trades.... Favorite Trade: OSTK Notes: Even though I am working on the early market in a SIM of SIM I need to pay more attention to my share sizing so I do not take improper size on my Live trades.... While in some of my SIM trades I hit the wrong buttons again, another one to work on..... Work on analyzing my trend trades better..... R = 50.00: -153.71 / +45.29 Splitting my P&L Total of all trades / Live (fake for now)

1 pointMonday 10/07/2019 I had a well-being score of 6.5/10 this morning. Back to a 2 trade/day limit. Took 2 live trades this morning was with AAPL and NVDA. I really like the daily chart on AAPL. Looks like it may make a break higher. Also good PM. NVDA was also in play so they were my two focuses at the open. MU, ROKU, BABA and AVYA were placed it on a side charts. AAPL immediately got volume, dropped and bounced off the daily level (226.08) and created a nice looking hammer. Volume was good and I liked the 200MA-1min ~1R away to help pull the price up. I went long with PDC as my target and a reasonable sized stop at the 226.08 daily level. R/R ~ 2.5R What the chart looked like when I took the trade: The price hovered around my entry for about 30 seconds then headed south with SPY. I tried to stop out at the daily level but got a huge slide making it a -1.5R loss. Then the price reversed an instant after my stop and headed back up. The price didn’t reach my target but did reach my 2R profit so it was a bit irritating. The chart below also shows my 2 SIM trades with AAPL afterwards, which I was stopped out on both. The volume for NVDA arrived not to long after the open but the price did not move for awhile then jumped after about 40 seconds from the open. When the price broke the HOPM I went long with 187 as my target with a scary tight stop (HOPM). I immediately hit my 1.5R limit order hotkey to try and help have patience. It was about a 30 second wait, then the price moved up and my 50% share order was filled. Then I took another partial (25%) at 2.5R with not the best fill. Then held the last 25%. I don’t have a stop at B/E hot key setup yet, but I will set that up tomorrow afternoon. If I waited to the exact B/E, the price would have reversed and made it to my target. But I am still happy with this trade. I tried a SIM trade afterwards and was S/O. I should have waited for a better entry. Score cards (live trades). AAPL NVDA 90% 91% What I did good today: Waited patiently for my 1.5R order to fill on NVDA. What I am grateful from today? My NVDA trade was slightly larger than my AAPL loss with a big slide. Grateful to trade something new. What do I need to improve on: Need to create a B/E stop hot key this week.

1 point04.Oct.19 Green Day. +9r. It was one and done day today. After my one trade at the open, I closed the platform, went out of the house. After coming back, just took couple of trades in SIM. $WATCHLIST: $COST, $AAPL, $TSLA, $HPQ and $SRPT. Trade1: $SRPT had a premarket high of $86.9. $SRPT opened strong. Once this premarket level is broken, I went long. This was also the PBBE/3C setup. I took partial at tech levels. My final partial of 3%, got stopped out once the stock dumped. When trading Momentum, I don't keep large portion of shares for BE (or further profit). Good: I tend to overtrade on Fridays, today I made it specific not to trade anymore after reaching goal. I also increased my share size, during this A+ setup. Improvement: I was looking to trade different setups of higher timeframes during midday. But postponed it till next week.

1 pointOct 3, 2019. $CLF I have had some trouble sleeping over the last few days. So I have chosen to really take it easy this week. I am hoping tonight I will be able to sleep through the night. The gappers this morning was rough for me as everything was high priced or low priced. Nothing really within my pre-market scan. I decided to go with $BBBY, $TSG, and $CLF. I ended up trading $CLF due to the economic news and the price action just did not seem like it could push higher. It was really no strategy at all just watching the price action. Overall it was a terrible trade that worked out for a small partial. Looking back it was like a combination of strategies (15 min Orb, and MA-X). Learning. If I don’t get at least 7 hours straight of sleep tonight, I will be in Sim tomorrow. Sample Set Results, S P G E E P P 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

1 pointOct 1, 2019. $FAST Well today the plan was to take 5 min and 15 min Orbs and then transition to Sim to work on a new entry plan. Went well in the morning, except that I didn’t get any orbs to trade. Everything moved without pulling back to VWAP and I do not like trading SSR stocks, so that eliminated some of the good brokerage stocks. $SCHW was a good one and I almost took it before the 5 minute when it lost VWAP, but I was pretty amendment that I was only trading within my plan today as I have a rough couple of weeks. In the afternoon, started off well taking a sim trade on $MU and then looking at the scanners for another stock to take a trade on. Found $FAST off the Reversal with volume scanner. I took an entry on it as it had a setup. I was a little late on it but decided to go with it anyways because I was trading sim, oh but wait, nope that was a live entry I took. I thought about just getting out, but said to myself it met your trade requirements, just a little late on the entry. Might as well let it play out maybe it works maybe it doesn’t. I got a partial and then stopped out at B/E. Overall a good productive day. I still need to work this entry a little bit. I think I have zerod in on a better entry spot that allows me to get a partial at a good level. Meaning that the partial occurs right were the stock will either continue to moving in my direction, or it goes back to my entry point.

1 point27 Sep 2019 I saw 2 trades at around 10:30pm. Managed to get in one and didn't for another. 1) CTRP - I LONG the trade with my several thoughts in mind At the 5 min chart, I thought I saw a bull flag and seems like the stock is pulling back Saw some big buys coming in green and seems like the stock is going to take off. Eventually it didn't and I got stopped out from this trade. 2) ROKU - I saw it retracing back to the VWAP (serve as a support) and set a limit order at 100.2 for a better entry and risk reward. In the end, the stock took off without me. If not I will be able to get at least 80 cents profit for this trade. Today I am in Red. Hope I will do better next week.

1 point24 Sep 2019 I came online rather late today (10:30pm) as I am running some errands. Saw NFLX and all charts (except 15 min) stay below WWAP. Wanted to go SHORT at the arrow indicated in 1 and 2 min chart but in the end only got filled below 50MA. A bad entry (yucks) and managed to take some profit for this trade. One green trade and taking rest now.
