Trending the 9ema on the 5min and a nice ABCD on the 2min... took it once then added in for a second ABCD.... took partials down to 30% shares left for all out at 48.43 +6R Cons: Wanted in a couple times but failed to pull the trigger.... (they did work out) Pros: Used the Tape for entries, partials and exits...... Playbook Trade: WFC Notes: WFC was a perfect setup for me and I took it with size.... Rs: +7.5R

Totally forgot to journal yesterday as I had to leave again after trading. ROKU chopped me up yesterday. I did have some good trades but ROKU was brutal to me. I didn't watch the spread of the stock and I was too far stretched from any MA. This morning I made sure to watch the spread on the stocks and be patient when to take a position. Today, was good overall. Only trade one stock today - LK LK Used Aiman's strategy on ABCD patterns. I was a little early on one of the entries. On the second try, I had a good entry but my stop loss was too tight. I didn't change it from my previous attempt. If I had allowed the 2nd attempt a little more room for the stop loss it would have been perfect. Ah well. I knew it was going to go long so I took it long again and it paid off. Not sure what I was doing afterwards but I did miss some of my favourite set ups. I think I was in the chat. A bunch of 9, 20 and 50 MAs crossing did exactly what they were supposed to do. I took a bunch of screenshots and I am thinking to make a separate thread on specifically that. I'll have to get more examples and data before I make such a post. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day! So I didn't hit my 1% target for the day. So I decided to trade some more. It was good at first and I actually hit my target. But of course I had to trade some more. And now I'm down to .01%....... BYND Noticed a double top and saw the 9 and 20 crossing on a downward trend. Wanted to go short but was hesitant as due to that 100 MA. But once it dropped below both the 100 and 50 MA I took it short and hit my target for the day. I then noticed the the 50 crossing the 9 and 20 on the 2 min chart and decided to take it short. However, I didn't notice how close I was to VWAP and I got stopped out. LK Now I am a little annoyed as I lost more than what I gained on BYND. Was looking for another set and found LK. Watched the 50 cross on an upward 9 and 20 MA crossing. Went long - too early. The 50 touched the 20 but the candle was still forming. It went the other way. Now I'm annoyed, impatient and long bias. Lost most of it... Perfect example of why not to over trade. I just need a week of an overall gain. Have not have had one of those....ahh

Hi BBT, Some of you were curious about my workout routine during the SF meetup a month ago, so I thought I would share. How healthy your life outside trading will inventively affect life in the trading room. At the very least, discipline, structure, pain, and patience can transfer back and forth. I work out for 2 hours every other day, unless my day job grinds me to take an extra day off. I did not list abdominals, as I simply do a variety of hanging sit-ups, windshield wipers, and leg raises a few times a week. Also listed are my supplements (I buy raw supplements off Amazon and mix, it's cheaper and healthier to make your own).

Thursday 1/23/2020 Internet outages in my area. No intraday trading this morning. I managed my swing trades by smart phone. I hope everyone is having a green day!

Hi Mike, First of all nice trade on MU. Thank you for the hot key script...it worked great today. I had been struggling with order getting rejected from couple of weeks. I had 3 trades on SIM today and keys worked perfect. Good luck for tomorrow.

Hi Mike, great MU trade. I have noticed you seem to be entering trades just before the MA cross over. Which is a great advantage if you can predict it. Is this planned? How do you do it? Do you enter the trade when the fastest time frame has the cross so it preempts the MA cross on the longer time frames?

Hey there, 1. You shouldn't have to change to limit. The only thing I notice different is you have no variance in your price. Everything is set to 0. I would try to change it to .01 and see if that helps. I have not had any issues getting filled at the prices I want with the scripts below. 2. Yes definetly change the TIF to "Day". Once you go live if your script or montage is set to "Day+" it will not execute. I learned that the hard way. 3. Here are my hotkey scripts Live Script Long StopPrice=Price-0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;SShare=17/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY;BUY=Send;DefShare=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.1 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY; Short StopPrice=Price+0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Price-Bid+0.01;SShare=17/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send;DefShare=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0.1 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY; SSR DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Price-Ask;SShare=17/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send;DefShare=200; Sim Script Long StopPrice=Price-0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Ask-Price+0.01;ACCOUNT=TRCME0877;SShare=17/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY;BUY=Send;DefShare=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice-0.1 ACT:SELL STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY; Short StopPrice=Price+0.01;DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Price-Bid+0.01;ACCOUNT=TRCME0877;SShare=17/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send;DefShare=200;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:MARKET PX:StopPrice+0.1 ACT:BUY STOPPRICE:StopPrice QTY:Pos TIF:DAY; SSR DefShare=BP*0.97;Price=Price-Ask;ACCOUNT=TRCME0877;SShare=17/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask;TIF=DAY;SELL=Send;DefShare=200; Let me know if this helps, or if you are continuing to have issues.
