November Month Summary. Green month. +21R. I can increase my risk by 10% next month. Positive points: 1. P&L: I have been going Hulk on the last 2 days of the previous months, In fact I would have had pretty decent months in Aug and Oct, if not for my last 2 days of trading. Result: I was conscious of this fact in Nov. Thanksgiving holidays probably helped a bit too Final monthly P&L (in R) P&L for the last 2 days(in R) Aug 19 -2,00 -9,00 Sep 19 -10,00 -6,00 Okt 19 -2,00 -12,00 Nov 19 21,00 -1,00 2. My key issue from previous months has been overtrading beyond my Maxloss. Result: For Nov-19 my maximum loss on a single day is -3.5r. 3. I have been taking setups which are not A+. I have been trading a lot at the Open and trading just bias. Result: I restricted my setups for the Open and reduced taking setups that are not A+. My winning % is at 51% (second time in a month, where I had more winners than losers - other being my first month in Apr under PDT) 4. I have been overtrading a bit. I wanted to control this in Nov. Result: I had 280 trades in Oct, this has come down to 127 in Nov. Althought I am overall happy about this month, there are many areas that needs improvement. Improvement areas: 1. It is said that the first 6 months data doesn't matter much(after going fully Live). I am hoping to keep a check on my rules, guidelines and strategies going forward and achieve consistency. 2. My winning % need to improve. My goal is 60%. Accuracy dramatically increases the final P&L. 3. I still take some trades which are not A+. I need to avoid this. 4. At the open, I still took some trades based on price action and bias, I am not supposed to take them. 5. Need to practice more L2 based trade management. 6. Need some high RR setups, as I think this fits my style more.

Congrats..... That is what I am aiming for..... Good Work....

29.Nov.19 Green day. +2r. Light volume day due to Thanksgiving holiday and Half trading day. Took $PANW for followup move, one and done. Watchlist: $BABA, $PANW, $PCG. Trade1: $PANW. Yesterday, $PANW opened weak, but had been strong thru out the day and closed strong. Interesting was, it formed a doji hammer on daily at support level. I was biased on a Long trade for today. I still held on to my plan though SPY opened weak this morning. Got my entry above VWAP and held on for 2r. No more trades. Good: Planned the trade and Traded the plan today. Overall happy to close the month with a positive day and overall +21R for the month.

Thursday 11/29/2019 I had a well-being score of 8/10 this morning. Trading in SIM due to breaking rules this month. I took 2 SIM trades this morning with BABA. My watchlist: BABA, ROKU, CVLS and DIS. BABA was a slow grind down in PM with huge volume. So I was short bias’d. I wasn’t sure if we would get the really big print in the first minute due to the large PM volume. The market opened and I waited. No really big print arrived, but without it there was a large opening volume and the 1min candle created a nice hammer. Then we had a good L2 signal and I went long. 1min chart when I took the trade: $201 was my target with 199.30 (bottom of two previous candles) as my stop. The stock popped a little and I took one large partial. Then the price reversed and I exited at B/E. I flipped my position with and shorted. I took one large partial at the low of the day and then exited at B/E. I did miss the big move but I caught two 50 cent moves which is fine. The really big print did arrive 10 seconds after my first trade (~170k), but all the big prints stopped afterwards. So not much of a T/S signal today. What did I do good today? I didn’t break any rules. What I am grateful from today? I am grateful that BABA gave a strong L2 signal. Without it, it would have been difficult to go against my bias.

November 27, 2019 -$UAA So I had a little mini vacation to Las Vegas, well actually it was more work than vacation, but it still prevented me from being able to trade for the last three days. I felt great coming into today, but also realized that it was the day before Thanksgiving and that I was very eager to trade. I even mentioned to myself to hold off and make sure the setup is valid and not to anticipate the market and enter early. Well I failed miserably at that and took a trade without a good setup. The pattern was there, but none of the other indicators such as level 2, moving averages, etc were there. Hints why upon the entry, I thought to myself why did take this entry. Shortly afterwards I was stopped out. I chalked it up to rust and the need to get a trade in. Overall happily with the discipline on stopping out and not rushing back into another trade. After this trade, I packed it up and started the long drive home. Overall, proper execution on bad analysis. I would rather get stopped out on a trade like this then make money and re-enforce a bad habit. Sample Set Results, G S S 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
