2-6-20 Very late night last night and slept in..... AIS 0915, 4 hours, 6/10 Thanks for the PreMarket research Ted, Carlos and Norm as I relied on them for my Stocks in Play... decided to make sure I am taking small share size in the first 30min of the market WWE PB#1.... Very small size here..... 5min ORB, break of VWAP, strong T&S and L2... with a nice tight stop and a target of the 50ma on the 2min and or break of the 20ema on the 5min ... got all out because of the small size where I should have partialed... +1.3R TWTR PB#1..... 10min ORB, ABCD on 2min, above Mas took a partial and added in for a trend PB#3 ..... Good trade but bad management ....... trending the 9ema on the 2min, after the first partial I was talking about the add at just before 1100 and did not take it (Ted did, LOL), took two more partials and added in on a bad spot when I was calling for it to go to the 20ema on the 5min...... Partial add and two more partials I am just OK with... the last two adds were not on a clear head and ended up stopping at BE.... +4.2R Cons: Trade Management could have been much better as I need to listen to what I am pitching in my group... Pros: Two winners and all out.... PB Trade: TWTR Rs: +5.5R

Eh not a big fan of not trading in the 1st 5 minutes, too many moves you can miss, it will mess with your judgement and create anxiety. It sounds like you are the type of trader who wants to trade within the first 5, so do it!. Just respect your stop, and you will get better at taking 5 min ORBS, over time, for now make sure you risk little while you learn.

Thursday 02/06/2020 I had a well-being score of 7/10 this morning. I took 1 live trade this morning with TWTR. My watchlist: BMY, BABA, MU, TWTR, UIS and WWE. TWTR was my main focus. I like the last few minutes of PM the price was hovering just below HOPM. As long as the volume came in I was going to go long at the break of HOPM. There was a few seconds delay before the volume arrived. Then shortly after the price broke HOPM and I went long. My target was the 38.51 level and my stop the 50MA-1min. Because I took the trade very close to the open I did take a reduced share size. I did enter the trade before it was called in the chat, which I am always concerned about. My partial profit taking was quite poor. Nerves caused me to take too early and too many. I exited the trade solely because I ran out of shares. What did I do good today? I planned the trade before the open and executed it. What I am grateful from today? A good watchlist today. What I need to improve on? I may need to start using the partial profit hotkey limit orders again. I have hot keys set at 1R and 1.5R.

Good morning! Finally able to trade this week as I was at my other job. Took trades today TWTR and TVIX TWTR 5 min ORB. Lost all its juice by now. Started to partial out but got stopped out just a little above my BE. I did have a hard stop order and forgot to change it after I started to partial out. Therefore, it automatically went short a couple shares. No big deal. Rode it short for a bit and then stopped out. Didn't loose anything so it's still a win in my books. TVIX 5 min ORB. Started to partial out way too early as I was a little distracted by TWTR. Oh well. Road it up until it started to pull back. I didn't like what I saw and pulled all my shares before it even hit my moving stop. I hit my daily goal and that's it for me today. I'm going in for nights tonight so I may not trade tomorrow, depends how the shift goes. Going to hang out with my family and then take a nap before night shift. Thank you for all for looking, especially to Mike B and Rob C for the constant feedback and support!

@hailchaser2: thnx mate, you just saved me big time. I still have 2 weeks before my 30 days is over. I'm gonna fund my account with 1000$ temporarily just to prevent it from getting closed.

Nice! One and done(s) make the best Friday trades. Have a good weekend.
