    Wedesday 12/18/2019 I had a well-being score of 7/10 this morning. I took 2 live trade this morning with BABA and NFLX. My watchlist: BABA, MU, NFLX, PCG and FDX. Nothing too exciting in the PM. BABA didn’t really gap or have any PM volume. But it is good to see how it reacts in these low volume days. So I followed the same method. But the big print was instant at the open, like AAPL, so it may not mean much even though it was 295K shares. 6 seconds later was the sizeable (>2K) print (at the ask) but only 7 cents higher than the big print so I waited. Then another sizeable print at the ask. Though the 1min candle wasn’t the best looking, I liked the prints, L2 was a bit more bullish, we were above VWAP, the spread was tight, and mostly the volume was strong, so I went long. My target was 209.15 with my stop at the bottom of the wick. The chart when I went long: The price actually did reach my first target of 208.88, but spiked right through it my fill was almost back at B/E. Then the price was dropping. Before it hit B/E I decided to flip my position. Wow can not believe how bad the fill was. The exit fill was bad enough to give my first trade a slight loss and the second fill, to enter the short, was already 1R from where I tried to flip. I should have exited immediately. Instead I made the mistake of only taking a 25% partial and setting my stop order at B/E. It flew through B/E again and somehow made the second trade a slight loss as well. Only BABA can make two trades, the first one I tried to partial at 2R and the second I partailed at 1R. And both still had a loss. NFLX had an interesting daily chart and had a good 2min ORB setup, but I was busy with BABA at the time. After the BABA trade I still liked price action and went long with half shares hoping it will drop back down and bounce from VWAP where I will take the rest of my shares. Which it did about 4 minutes later. My stop was the 316.80 level. The target was HOPM. The price did move up and break the 318.20 level where I took a partial. The price retraced quickly and I took another partial because I was losing faith. Then out at B/E. Too bad if I stayed at my stop I would have seen a big run. But I have been so poor in the ORBs lately I need to presently stick to exiting at B/E. What did I do good today? I took a live ORB on NFLX. What I am grateful from today? Trading something other than BABA. What I should improve on: Maybe it is time to create the flip hotkey.

    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

    18/12/19 only traded FDX today and wouldve had an incredible day if i just respected my stops instead of getting out early 1000 times went short from a weak L2 and a rejection of a key level but stopped out early and then took it shoort again straight after. got a good move down then added to my position at VWAP with stop above the top of the 5 min candle, then stopped out early, got in and out 4 more times for small losses before i got another good move. then hotkey mistake reversed positions and got straight out. took it short 1 more time with a great entry and stopped out early again just before it broke down then i just started being stupid trying to take reversals and all sorts of madness. still ended green just about but feel horrible about the day.
