12-18-19 AIS 0810, 3.5 hrs, 5.5/10 PAT: No over trading....... FOMO...... Quality of setups.... Notes: Adding a challenge for the upcoming days and beyond to Meditate @ 0915 for 10min to calm myself MU PB#1 .... ORB coming back to VWAP for entry but continued to sell off..... Went a little faster and lost a little more than anticipated..... -1.6R PCG PB#2 / PB#3.... first trade I jumped in a little too early and got out with the momentum and blasting down and hitting my stop...... -1R second trade..... I realized I was long biased and need to stop being biased...... L2 and T&S signals were short..... I took A short and added in when price action confirmed my position.... took partials at .75 to .70 as this was a new support level.... I took most off when it came back close to my BE and added back in when price action was back in my favor....again took partials at the .70 area of support... once it broke support I had .45 as my target and took a partial there.... added back in about 30% on a new trend pattern and took two more partials and all out at the bottom of what looked like a reversal to me as the L2 was exhausted... (it ended up trending to the long side) +3.6R Cons: Took a biased trade without signals on PCG and MU Pros: Regained focus and traded without bias and managed it..... Playbook Trade: -PCG Notes: Even though I did Meditate this morning I was supper tired and in need of rest..... Rs: +1R

Yep Brendon I know Thank you! Was just really confused about that

Thank you guys for your answers Ya percentagewise its not that much, but for my Stop it is Ok, so I will always look at the VWAP in the montage!

Hello Everybody Good day day. 5 Trades total: MU, UBER, TSLA, AAPL MU Waited for the 2 min ORB. Didn't jump in right away but waited for a bit of a pull back to VWAP before I went short. TSLA Took TSLA long at the pull back after the 2 min ORB. My risk just didn't allow for that dip below the VWAP and I was stopped out. I was busy with MU and missed out going long after that hammer doji. Ah well. Noticed TSLA heading for the VWAP and thought it would be a good pull back. But my entry was not good as I was too stretched from VWAP. I was eventually stopped out. UBER Noticed that UBER bounce of the low of the day for VWAP reversal. Went long when I saw the previous candle made new higher highs/lows. Waited for a little pull back for a better entry. Went long and was eventually stopped out at the BE. AAPL Went long after the pull back on AAPL. I knew it was a strong stock. all the resistance levels were below and that just gave me confirmation. I was putting in my hard stops but the stock moved so fast I didn't even notice it happened. I guess I was lucky today. My other mistake would be I pulled out all my shares. I guess I could have kept going until it made lower lows/highs. Good day today. Not perfect, but I prefer it this way. I want to make mistakes, so I can learn from them. Again, feedback is greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day everyone!

12-17-19 AIS 0800, 4 hrs, 6/10 PAT: Overtrading..... Spread..... Trade quality..... No FOMO Notes: After exiting a trade in play keep it on the main screen early in the day..... PCG PB#2 Stopped out both times.... should have stuck with it and took it for a short right after the second stop out... -1.3R CLVS PB#1 10min ORB... not a great L2 signal .... ABCD on the 2min.... I should have had my stop set below VWAP and would have been able to catch the move..... -1R PB#3... FOMO.... too Extended....stop was 11.27 and target was 12.00..... I did manage my trade very well till the end where I added in on a reversal signal.... I had it in my head that I wanted to add in on a pull back and I missed a couple opportunities and again this add was FOMO Cons: Over traded.... FOMO ..... Poor quality trades.... Pros: Leaving and happy with just -1R... Feels good to stick by my stop rules.... Playbook Trade: none Notes: I over traded before 1100 and even though I wrote my notes above I also took poor quality trades and FOMO trades.... I added a bit of exercise right before the open and I did not meditate to calm myself.... Rs: -1R

Mike, Here is a trade I made on SPLK today. I botched my order. My order was set to buy 100 shares. As I clicked cancel I got filled on 5 of the 100. This caused a little confusion on my part, once understood, I focused on the target. I decided to not add at any point and let price move to my target. Given the small share size there was no stress. My best trades are usually made after the market is open for about 1 to 2 hours.

The study is a fibonacci retracement. I only added this to the chart for illustrative purposes. The R1, R2, R3 are text boxes that I added. If I was looking for a power hour scalp I'd look to stocks that are strong in 1 direction for the entire day. For example CAT on the long side or PDD on the short side. The key is to focus on stocks that trended intraday. Life is to short to waste it on scalping chop.

Hey Aaron, awesome analysis, I love feedback from traders as it helps me see my blind spots. 1) I would definitely agree with you, when I began trading I was focused on how much cents I was willing to risk and it was small. Since January when I started using Kyles hotkeys, I don't worry anymore about what the actual dollar amount per share is that I risk, because I have my hotkey's set to .33% of my account per trade or 3 trades within a day for ~1% of my account. 2) At the open I have a very defined set of criteria that I select stocks for my Orb strategies. This has been based of my performance and what I do well at. I am not comfortable with stocks above $50 at the open, they just move to much for me. After 30 minutes, I switch my layout and watch the same 9 different stocks daily along with 3 of the best stocks on the gappers that did a good move at the open. ($AMD, $MU, $JD, $SQ, $ROKU, $MSFT, $QCOM, $AAPL, and $NVDA). 3) I have 3 strategies I trade. 5 and 15 min Orbs that I have been doing for a year and within the last couple of months I have been working on a new afternoon strategy that involves the 9/20 crossing the 50. It did not work well in September because I did not have a good entry point identified and would get chopped up a lot; However, when I was watching Thor's Video on PLBO, I noticed my moving average crossover strategy was appearing quite often before his entry on the PLBO. So, I went back and did some analysis on my trades and found that the more often than not the ones that did work had a very similar setup to Thor's PLBO and the ones that I got stopped out on didn't. Therefore, I have layered Thor's PLBO strategy over mine and I just got done testing it in Sim. $T was the first live trade I intentionally used it on. That was a long way of saying I scalp at the open and like trend trading after the market has been open for 30 minutes. 4) When I post my yearly recap you see that it not the money that is my issue; rather, it is I just don't like to be wrong.

Hi guys, hi Andrew, I would come with my family from Venice (Italy) is there any Italian BBT that is added?

Hello everyone, I'm about to start my own small business as a sleep coach/consultant. Basically, I’m going to help night shift workers achieve good quality sleep within 6 weeks - without sacrificing time with their loved ones and their favorite day time activities. Of course, my method also works for day shift workers, so don't worry if you're not a night shift worker. But before getting serious about it, I’d like to find one or two more test clients to really perfect my system. I won’t be asking for much but constructive feedback or recommendations. If you’re interested send me a message / comment below!
