October 10, 2019 $DAL, $JD I am still having some confidence issues but overall fighting through them. I started reading the VPA book Norm recommended and it is pretty good on explaining the relationship between price action and volume. I got a partial on $DAL with a little extra after inputting the wrong share size in the range order, and then a 2R on $JD. I left some to run but than the president tweeted about China and everything reversed, so I got out near my 1st partial. Overall a good day. Looking forward to ending the week on a good note tomorrow. Sample Set Results, S P G E E P P P P G 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Well now that I figured out to post again I post yesterday journal and today. I did not think I would encounter such a big problem after the upgrade. Completely self-incompetence about clearing a cache. Thanks to the BBT Support team for helping out yesterday. October 9, 2019 $AMD Not a bad day today after about a week of re-calibrating and get back into live trading. I was with you on the missed pullback on $AMD around the 5 minute mark. I kept watching $AMD and when it couldn’t push higher above VWAP, I decided to short it a little bit before the close of the 15 minute candle. I got in right as the big move happened, so I didn’t get right at the break of the candle instead a little bit lower. Still a good entry. I just did not get filled on the first leg down before a pullback, but on the second leg I got a partial at the low of the day. I eventually got before my breakeven point because the stock seemed to reverse and the volume started picking up. Eventually, I would have gotten stopped out at the break even point.

10-10-19 Woke at 0740 with 4 hours sleep and feel pretty good.... SSS, a coffee and muffin...... Read in The Playbook....and a nice quick meditation.... PAT: If I take a SIM of SIM I still need to Manage it properly and not stop out early..... Share size...... Take better setups, A or better..... Notes: No pre 5min trades and all PB#1s will be Sim of SIM for at least the rest of the week... BBBY PB#1.1 .... 2min ORB .... LVL2 ASKs stacking and Tape was printing strong.... +49.00 PB#1 .... 5min ORB .... Same LVL2 and Tape ...... This one I feel great about and also feel like it was an A setup.... 5min ORB with ABCD on 1min and Clear price action..... There was the news that the star CEO of Target went to BBBY and the super large SF of 55% that lead me to the long biased position on BBY ..... +57.25 A quick mistake on the short and covered quickly for BE +106.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BBBY PB#3 (A setup), didnt quite get back to the 9ema on the 2min...... took a 25% partial .... added on the next bounce off 9ema..... stopped out just below BE..... the next was an accidental short and covered quick for BE.... then long on the bounce off the 50ma on the 5min and jumped the gun on the partail.... added on at break of VWAP still trending..... and stopped out below VWAP ....... -19.50 DAL PB#3 (A setup) again a bit above the 9ema on the 5min holding it back from an A+...... the 9 and 20ema had just crossed the 50ma on the 5min about 20min prior to entry.... I found this after I came back from a break..... I entered with 3/5 share size and added to full share size once price action confirmed it (this was a bit late and slow on the triggerand after review this should have never been an add here )..... once into this time of day I mostly use the 5, 15 and 30min charts..... the stop I had was a solid break of the 20ema on the 5min.... when I added at a bad level it did extend my stop loss to over 1.5R, I did get lucky as it never fell below -0.5R... at about 1430 I had to go out for awhile so I sold all but 96 shares (I really did not want to leave this) and left myself a wide range order figuring I would be back before market close.... I got back about 2 min before market close and closed my position within the last two seconds of market.... +201.75 Cons: I took too much size on DAL Pros: Found A setups...... respected my stop loss...... switched my charts so that the 1 min was no longer there then about noon I took off the 2min chart Favorite Trade: BBBY second trade PB#1 and third trade PB#3 Notes: Found a good setup on BBBY that I still after review feel very good about even though it turned into a small loss... And took too much size on DAL..... R = 50.00: +288.50 / +182.25

09Oct.19 red day. -3r. I shouldn't have traded today, I was not relaxed and not in the right state of mind, may be due to lack of sleep. I still wanted to just sit thru premarket work, but ended up trading($ROKU). I had the right idea today on $ROKU, but messed up the trades, and $ROKU was choppy at the open too. Watchlist: $ROKU, $QGEN, $LEVI, $DBVT Trade1: $ROKU. Roku gapped up due to upgrade. I had the premarket level 111.4 which was strong premarket support. I was going to take long if the stock gets there. $ROKU was strong enough at the open, so i took long at break of 112.6, got 1r due to wide stop, din't partial, got stopped out. Trade 2: $ROKU. Roku pulled back to my level 111.4 and I got long. Was great entry and I planned 3r range order, small stop. Stock moved 2.5r and stopped me. I should have known $ROKU was chopping at this stage. Trade 3: $ROKU. Once the support 111.4 is broken, I took short, got stopped out again. Now I realized it was chopping. Trade 4: $ROKU. long again after the break of 112.6 level (similar to first trade). Partialed quickly this time. Added some and got stopped out. Trade 5: $LEVI. Earnings play. but flat at the open, so I was not sure which way it will go. At the open it sold off, I took a reversal in SIM, got stopped out. Took a live trade at the VWAP pullback short, 2 partials and 3rd at BE. Trade 6: $X. $X was very bearish at the open, dropped 12%. after 11, it started reversing. I got stopped out on the first trade. After the double bottom, I took long again, small stop, but got out 2/3 my position by mistake. left 1/3 for 3r. Good: After my morning trades, I switched to SIM, I made some very good trades. $QGEN I noted the RSI was 11% very much oversold. And it was very strong today, despite opening lower. Improvement: I was hoping to have a clean trade on $ROKU similar to $NVDA yesterday. But it didn't happen and I didn't have a planB. My $ROKU trade had an impact on other trades in the afternoon and I stopped trading.

Thursday 10/10/2019 I had a well-being score of 6/10 this morning. Took 2 live trades this morning was with AAPL and BABA. Probably shouldn’t have traded this morning. I wasn’t planning on it because there were planned power outages to occur 4am. I woke up and there was still power and the outage was moved to noon. But I wasn’t in the right mind set and the usual nightly tasks to prepare were not completed. Adding to that I injured my food last night which I thought wasn’t bad. Then I saw how black and blue it was this morning and realized I probably under estimated the injury. Essentially, I was not in the right mind frame and should have skipped trading today. Though the trades, on their own, do not look that bad. I have no memory of looking at SPY, L2 or T/S before I took either trade. Actually, I don’t even remember looking at volume before I took the BABA trade which is a must. So I consider this a bad trading day and it was not bad luck for my -2.3R loss today. I traded poorly and should have not even opened the platform today. I still like the daily charts and PM on both AAPL and BABA. I was long bias on both before the open. Both stocks, especially, BABA were showing strength right before the open. Volume was instant for AAPL and a small hammer was created and I went long when the price broke the HOPM. My target was 228 with the bottom of the candle as a stop. I usually like better stops this close to the open. The price immediately went against me and I was stopped out a few seconds later with a >-1R. BABA had a really strong last 5min of PM and I waited for a pull back. An incomplete hammer was created and I went long at the bounce of the 165.20 level, with 165 as my stop and 166 as my target. There was volume, but honestly I didn’t check it at the time. Just like AAPL the price retraced immediately after I entered the trade and I was stopped out a few seconds later. Got my head spinning to be -2R just after 9:31am and done with my live trading for the day. I did take a SIM short on BABA for +2R, but it didn’t really help my mood. I shouldn’t have traded today. One note. PG&E are planning proactive power outages in my area to reduce chance of fire. I may not have power for 2 to 3 days. So if you don’t see any journal entry from me the rest of the week, you know what happen. Score cards (live trades). I can’t really blame myself for the long bias, both looked strong in the PM. Not following my entrance checks were my main errors. AAPL BABA 85% 88% What I did good today: Took a good SIM trade. What I am grateful from today? Stopped trading at 2 trade limit What do I need to improve on: When not to trade when you don’t have the right mindset.

11Oct19 Greenday. +6r. Busy trading day, today I was able to spend the whole day looking at the market and trading. Green Friday once again. Watchlist: $ AAPL, $ROKU, $FAST and $YNDX. $YNDX had gapped down against the market and $FAST was harmonious setup(both earnings). Trade 1: $YNDX. Rising devil setup. Short below VWAP, Stop 25c. Partialed at 2r, but the price turned against me and I got 2 more partials. Trade 2: $YNDX. After the pullback to 20MA, added to my position, partiled towards low of the day. Added to my position again by mistake, got all out. Trade 3: $YNDX. Later at Noon SPY dumped and pulled most of the stocks down with it. Slowly all the stocks were recovering to their original position, Robert called out $YNDX. And I took it long at the key level of 29.5 for 2:1 AON exit. Stock squeezed and I got my fill. Trade4: $FAST. Gapped up on earnings. very strong at the open. I took long after the pullback to VWAP and bounc. Also at the break of daily level 35.5. partialed towards HOD and got all out on new 5min low. Good: Very obvious premarket list today. Entries were good. Enjoyed watching the market whole day. Another +ve Friday.

10-11-19 Woke at 0740 with 7 hours of sleep and feeling pretty good...... SSS and a coffee.... A little meditation and away we go.... PAT: fine tune share size..... Notes: No pre 5min trades and all PB#1s will be Sim of SIM for at least the rest of the week... FAST PB#1 (A+ setup), this should have been in live with all the confirmation.... Made a beautiful 5min ORB with confirmation ABCD on 1min and 2min, also the price action, LVL2 and Tape were all positive confirmation.... scaled in to it to 4/5 position and took a 50% partial then out At BE as price action was changing... +48.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAST PB#3 (A+ setup)... Trending the 9ema... the 9ema crossed the VWAP.... the previous down trend did not break VWAP..... ABCD on the 2min...... I added on the close of my entry hammer candle, I did take a little smaller share size one the first one and added into about 3/4 share size (probably a little too cautious here)... took small partials on the way up at key points and then all out on new 5min low..... +124.51 Cons: None today..... Yahoo.... Pros: Found and took A or better setups.... Favorite Trade: FAST both trades.... Notes: Just need to work on share size a bit.... Calling it a day, have family coming in..... R = 50.00: +172.51 / +124.51

11 Oct 2019 Today I took 3 trades (2 green and 1 red) . Overall still green. 1) $MU - Took SHORT when it is bouncing off VWAP and the share took a sharp upward turn and I got stopped out. I realized that I am shorting towards 50MA. Bad move and didn't check my chart clear enough. 2) $FAST - Many traders in the chartroom heard Andrew saying to take a LONG and I took it but he didn't. It is a very good move upwards and my biggest win for the day! 3) $ROKU - At 2 min chart, I saw the candle bouncing off the 200MA and it serves as a strong resistance. I took it SHORT and covered all of my positions before it went back up. It was a very small move but I was lucky to cover everything. 2 green days in a row and I am happy. Hope to continue to maintain consistency when in LIVE account.

Thanks buddy for always been there to encourage!

Dang, sorry about the outages..... hope all gets better for you soon...

Nice Short on $DAL, looks like we got almost the same entry.

@Steph Shor dropped the set menu which is great. Waiting to hear back if they can up the reservation to 40 and if they can accommodate 50+. If they can accommodate 50+, no minimum tab requirement or set menu would be great. I’ll let you know when Shor gets back to me with our current reservation. Hopefully they can fit us all so we don’t need to find a new restaurant.

A solid day trading!! Great discipline to stop while you are green!!

10 Oct 2019 Today is the MOVING AVERAGE day for me. Took 2 trades and both are green. $BBBY - Saw 2 red indecisive candles at 1 min chart. Once I saw it moving above VWAP, I took a LONG position. I move my stop to break even and I got stopped out. If not it will be a very good upward move. $DAL - Saw a inverted hammer at 2 min chart and 1 min chart moving downwards from VWAP. I immediately entered the trade to the SHORT side and managed to cover all positions before it bounce back to VWAP again. Very happy with my performance today. I should stop trading now to prevent over-trading. All the best guys!
