3-11-20 AIS 1150, 7 hours, 7/10 CCL PB#3, B setup Trending the 9 on the 5min with a retrace to the 20. I got to the desk at 1150 and found this at 1152. Took it quickly in SIM because I was not able to evaluate it fully. This is not a normal setup that I would take for my PB#3 and was taken in SIM -0.4R JD PB#3 (1rst trade) Trending the 9 on the 5min with a pullback to the 9 for entry. Took a 50% partial at whole dollar and a marked level from the daily which also is showing resistance on the intraday and all out at BE +1R PB#2 (2nd trade) a VWAP play that did not work right off the bat. -0.6R Cons: None Pros: stayed in control of this choppy market Rs: +0.2

Wednesday 03/11/2020 I had a well-being score of 6/10 this morning. I took 3 live trades with AAPL. My watchlist: AMD, AAPL, BAC, TSLA, CCL, and DXC. I took a small PM position on AAPL since it looked like it was breaking and holding 200MA-1min and holding VWAP. My stop was 50MA-1min with a traget at the 278.90 level. After the open the price bounced from the 277 level and I added to my position. I was able to take two partials before the price retraced and I was stopped out at B/E. The price recovered and broke the 200MA-1min again and I went long again. I was also able to take 2 partials before being S/O at B/E. Then a nice hammer was made an a break of the 278.90 level. I went long again, I took one partial then was stopped out at B/E. Then I was at my 3 trade limit and called it a day. What did I do good today? Not much hesitation today. What I am grateful from today? Good fills on my S/O, not much slippage.

03-11-2020 Have today and tomorrow off of work. Was able to get some trading in this morning. I've been trying recently to dabble in other trading strategies other than my typical 0950-1030 hours VWAP bounce trades. Most recently, I've been trying to trade ABCD patterns in the early market hours before the VWAP trades. Not trades I typically take, just trying to expand on strategies to trade. Not too much luck on these trades this morning though. Definitely some over trading today, but only due to the fact I'm trying to experiment with more ABCD trades. I'll probably start dabbling with this in replay mode as well. $PDD - I attempted an ABCD trade off the 1 minute chart on PDD. I saw it bounced off the 9EMA, took the trade long and got stopped out. Things to consider in the future: PDD was gapping down. The 5 minute candle was very extended. Those two combined should've kept me a little more short biased on this trade. $AAL- Around 1015, I saw a VWAP bounce off of AAL. I always like to see a gradual movement back towards VWAP and then take my position right at VWAP. Got stopped out on my first trade, took a second attempt at it and succeeded. $DXC- Around 0950 hours I tried to take a VWAP bounce trade off of $DXC. I saw resistance held the 20EMA. I set my stop slightly above VWAP. I saw it failed to hold above VWAP on heavier volume on the candle after I got into the trade, but I eventually got stopped out. $TDOC- I took this as a reverse ABCD trade. Saw it holding the 9EMA on the 1 minute. I anticipated a break of the 146 level. Took it short around 147.50 set my stop loss right around the 9EMA on the 1m. $INO- Took this trade as a VWAP bounce. Took that first partial because it was struggling and I didn't see any volume on the L2 to indicate it was going to push the $7.40 level. Hit my stop loss and I moved on. I think sometimes I set my stop loss so tight I do not give it room to breath. If I had set it slightly below that 50MA I would've made my 2R on this trade. Something to jot down and remain conscience of in the future.

Today went well, ended up 4.7R. I had a couple of trades that I flipped from original entry. I was very tempted to keep trading in the afternoon, I mentioned it to Mike B and he said I was making the right call to stop, thanks for being in the chat Mike! Yesterday I gave my entire days profit away because of trading past my daily target. Once I am more seasoned, I may implement a different variation that gives me flexibility. Maybe keep trading, but don't lose more than 10% of morning gains, but I'm not disciplined enough to do that now. I also made a change on my screen today, I like L2 just as much as Thor, I found I was constantly scrolling down to see what the L2 looked like further from the price action. I extended my montage down so I can see all of the L2 without having to scroll. It only covers up my DJIA and SPY charts on the left side. I am feeling more confident in my trading abilities/psychology, I was very beat up from the first 3 1/2 weeks. The past 4 days I've traded well for 3 of them, and the one day I didn't, I only failed because I kept trading after I reached target (Yesterday). What do you do to keep from getting over confident? I want this trend of good trading to continue, and I feel like it will, but if anyone has been through this before, I would prefer to learn from your mistake instead of making the same ones you did. So any feedback is welcomed. Thanks.

Yes I can make it at 6 pm. see you all! drinks on me and bring friends and family! Everyone welcome, thanks for coming everyone! #BBTFamily

Max loss by 9:05 AM. I upped my risk from $10 to $20 today. I don't think it effected my decision making, but it stopped me out faster than normal. The biggest mistake I believe I made today was trading TSLA, I was tempted by the enormous upside of that stock. PDD Maybe I should not have entered this trade because it was above most of the moving averages, What are your thoughts? OXY Trade one, maybe I should stay away from entering when wicks are really extended? Trade two, waited for confirmation of ABCD, but it didn't follow through. Any feedback on this one?AAL TSLA

Day 44 - Mar 10, 2020 9 Tickets 1 Symbol Green Day Watchlist Index Catalyst Big Picture SPY SPY held above 274, major daily support. Be cautious - seems like all pops are getting sold, it just cant catch a bid. Trump comes out with potential payroll tax cut, but coronavirus cases growing Stock Support Resistance ATR Notes Bias Setup Trading Plan DKS 35 40, 41 1.75 Beat earnings, sales and increases dividends. Up 10% premarket Long SFIX 14.4, 13.4 16, 17 1.6 Earnings beat but revenue and guiding down. 28.3% Watch short covering, nice higher high higher low in pre market. CCL 23.35, 22.85, 21.5 25.2, 26.2 2.44 Trying to bounce here, but don’t think it will close gap. Short Trade the VWAP trend if weak from open - watch for this to fade back down to yesterdays close 21.5 CCL (Trade #1) - Short - 1min - VWAP Bounce and Reject CCL sold off hard, made double bottom and came up to test VWAP. Failed to hold, broke under and then failed pop back through VWAP - short 1/2 R as it rejected, with target at LOD / yesterdays close. Ended up squeezing through VWAP, top ticked and broke down. Good: Stuck to my plan CCL (Trade #2) - Short - 1min - VWAP Bounce and Reject As soon as I got stopped out it came right back down confirming my theory. Ended up getting in right after it broke down through previous consolidation. Tried to push higher but kept getting rejected by MovAvg so scaled in to full size. Held right under the MA's and broke down - covered partial too soon. Started coming up and ended up with a panic cover - no reason to cover here. Good: Let my theory play out even though I got stopped out the first time. Improvement: Could have gotten a better fill on starter. No reason to be taking profits here - got shaken out too soon rather than letting profits ride. CCL (Trade #3) - Short - 1min - Momentum Breakdown CCL had a failed pop and was breaking down on rising vol - ended up getting a late fill, was looking for entry as soon as a panic covered. Had to take off for work so set a range order and let it play out. Good: Left a Range order and let it play out. Todays Review Didn't like a whole lot in pre market and once market opened so sat on my hands until something I liked came up - happy with this. In past I would have over traded. Noticing my journaling and forced habits coming into play here. What I did well: Wait for my setups to come into play What I did poorly: Taking profits off too soon (automate this - weekend task) Need to do: Thinking of recording myself, with commentary as it will give me a better idea of entry and I can verbally walk though my checklist, same thing with taking profits - name reason for profit taking. (read this in The Daily Trading Coach 101), need to do a better job of getting out there in community and providing feedback, getting into forums and so on...will be my main goal for rest of the month. Sorry for shitty pictures - new process not as smooth as older one. Will find a fix shortly.

3-10-20 AIS 0800, 4 hours, 5.5/10 PAT: Over-trading... PB#3 in Live only ... stick with stocks in play.... TWTR PB#3 two trades....first one was over extended and I knew it but reduced share size. goal was to scalp it but I did not because of the small size I had which was a mistake on trade management. second entry was much better and I did take the same amount of share size as to not skew the Rs for this trade. with partials and an all out on new bad price action and tape. this did end up coming back to 34.40 as of this post and I am happy with the all out. -0.2R .Cons: chased first trade... was very tired and maybe should have come back later Pros: getting out now before I do something stupid as I am very tired Rs: -0.2R

Tuesday 03/10/2020 I had a well-being score of 5/10 this morning. Didn’t feel myself today. SIM today I took 1 SIM with BAC. My watchlist: AMD, AAPL, BAC, TSLA, CCL, and DKS. I took a small PM long trade on BAC on a L2 signal and a break of VWAP. It didn’t go anywhere, but the good news it turned off my long bias on BAC. Opened on OK volume and weak the first 2min. Then a pullback to VWAP. When it broke the body of the 2min candle I shorted. My stop was VWAP, but the only target I saw was 200MA-5min, but that was a R/R of 12 which is too big to be reasonable. I took too many partials then finally got a little stingy to hold to target. Price actually reached my target, then I exited when it look like it was reversing. What did I do good today? At least I held on to some shares for the target. What I am grateful from today? Shorted a stock. Even in SIM it has been unusual in the passed few weeks.

Wend is good for me as well. Lets make it Wend, if it works for everyone! Thanks guys for coming in such a short notice!
