Hi everybody, I've been thinking about giving the room my own personal touch as I often found my self during the last few months having difficulties with the small chat and all the messages... Short Story I aimed for this goals : Giving some more space for the main chat Reduce the tab selection section in the middle of the column so that it does not overflow in several lines Give some clean icons that clearly identify the content while keeping the tooltip Hide the Alert Panel while keeping it accesible using the mouse over it (autohide) Change the font for a readable one with a smaller size as I use to have the chat in a 40" TV The final result is this ( original colors on the right, darker theme on the left) : If interested in getting more room for the main chat, just install Stylus and Darkreader (if you like the dark theme ) plugins on your browser : Chrome: Stylus: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne Dark-reader: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh?hl=es Firefox: Stylus: https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/styl-us/?src=search Dark-reader: https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/darkreader/ After the easy installation, just go to the top right cornor of your browser and click on the "S" then on the "create new style option" while being in the tab of the chatroom. Copy the CSS text that you can find attached to this post and then paste it in the editor area. Check the name you want to give to this style on the upper left corner and the URL that should be monitored : https://protradingroom.com Save the changes and go back to the room. If you want to activate the dark theme just go to the DarkReader plugin and manage your settings ... Hope anyone finds this usefull. Keep it green ! @Paul aka Aurbano 2021-12-13 UPDATE : update tab icons 2021-04-07 UPDATE : added few changes to fix tickers column on bezinga news, with bullet points, and a better line jump management >> ending in better reading ... this feature was suggested by @Justin and @Alastair ... hope it helps many people !! 2021-04-09 UPDATE : added color / background highlighter on ticker symbols starting with $ css.txt

Day 58 - March 31, 2020 23 Tickets 5 Symbols Red Day Watchlist: AAL - Short - 1min and 5 min - Failed Pop (-1 Adjusted stop) DID NOT FOLLOW MY MORNING GAME PLAN Was watching AAL wanted to short the previous breakdown but too extended. Waited for consolidation with MA's Tightening, Took it short as I saw the asks pile up at 12.38 and seemed like seller was stepping down. Stop just above previous high - got stopped out. Looking at it after - clear double bottom, why am I shorting this? Improvement: Making a watchlist with a game plan, and completely ignored it (Long at 12.2). Need to be stepping back and thinking about this. AAL has potential positive news, sold off hard into premarket level, and previous day close and consolidating. ABT (1) - Long - 1min - Technical Breakout (Ascending triangle with VWAP as support) ABT was holding just under VWAP making a tight range and holding above MA's, took it long as we started to get some volume coming into the breakout with stop just below consolidation. 1st Target hit, and adjusted my 2nd stop (2R) as I didn’t like the rejected of MA. Left the rest ride and got stopped out ad my stop loss, below MA and VWAP. Good: Had the right idea for a scalp Improvement: This could be a quick take profit and let 1/2 ride as its momentum. SPY (1) - Short - 1min - Failed Pop (Sub: Double Top) Watching SPY reject off the 263 level, looking for the double top. Finally started to make lower highs and lower lows with MA's tightening. Ended up taking it short as it rejected 9,20 and 50MA thinking we could test VWAP and potentially end closer to LOD. Absolutely terrible trade management, and got hunted on my stop loss..got top tick and missed the whole move. Improvement: Need to have a better game plan here - trade management was brutal. Covering for no reason multiple times? Why am I so scared.. SPY (2) - Short - 1min - Failed Pop (-1 Adjusted Stop) Top ticked on my stop loss right before the big drop and Avoided chasing SPY all the way down, was thinking to ad the VWAP but thought we would see a bounce into Previous day close. Then ended up getting in at the very bottom - figures…Very poor control. Adjusted my stop as realized how stupid this was. Change or character as buying came in. Still short biased - but looking for a test into VWAP. Adjusting stop was actually a good idea here as this was a terrible entry. Improvement: Poor self control, waited all the way down and then FOMO'd at the bottom. Too extended from 5min and 1min - wait for them to curl up, tighten up and then break for a much higher probability play. ABT (2) - Short - 1min and 5 min - Failed Pop (extended on the 5) Lots of selling into previous day close, looking like we might have a dead cat bounce and make its way to yesterdays LOD with stop above previous consolidation. Ended up being an absolute chop fest, scaled out slowly and just took off at the end as Looks like it was turning up potentially. CCL short - 1min and 5 min - Failed Pop Sold off hard with rest of market and found support at previous day resistance. Was waiting for it to consolidate, took it short as it rejected the 50M and broke down through the 9 and 20. Stop just above previous candle and target at previous support. Ended up getting in to early and got stopped out. Good: Tight stops Opportunity: Great opportunity to re-short here after getting rejected by the 200 and making a double top on the 1min., also kept trying to push higher but couldn’t close up. Perfect breakdown, brining it down to my target. SPY - Short - 1min and 5 min - Failed Pop SPY was moving back up off the bounce, thinking we could see a further move down as selling volume coming in was pretty heavy. Took it short as it couldn’t get through 20MA on 5, and looks like couldn’t get through MA's on 1, short as it failed to make new high and broke down. Started taking partial pretty quick as there wasn’t much time, ended up getting out on drop and stopped out on the big wick up. Good: Tight stop and quick partials Trade Review: Feeling a little more confident, but still making the same mistakes. 95% of the day I am in control, no FOMO, waiting for the setups to come to me, then the other 5% I seem to absolutely lose it and it costs me...Another thing I notice is I am making a pretty good watchlist with a simple game plan, but completely skips my mind once the market opens. Notice I'm just watching charts and getting lost in the tick to tick action vs stepping back, looking at the bigger picture. Questions to ask before jumping in: -What is the bigger picture? What is going on here? -Is this an A+ Setup? -Is this the best entry I can get, if not be patient and let the price come to me. Daily Report Card 1. Only Take trades using risk calculated hotkey = 7/7 2. Placing trades with defined risk, and profit targets (No adjusting) = 5/7

April 1, Got back at it today. Took a short on MGM. I had a couple hotkey errors which effected my profit taking but overall the trade worked as I wanted. The first hotkey error occurred when I set my B/E and hit two keys at once. Second error occurred when I was putting in my limit order for the third partial and I didn't have a . in the number so it covered right away. I skipped the third partial area and set the range order for the last partial and B/E/. I almost got to 10.52 before the stock did a heavy reversal back to my B/E point.

Wednesday 04/01/2020 I had a well-being score of 7/10 this morning. I took 2 live trades with CCL and AMD. My watchlist: AMD, MGM, DAL, UBER, CCL, and BA. I actually didn’t like anything in the PM. I usually like something and have a plan on which stocks and where to enter, but not today. That created some anxiety. So I was watching AMD as default. At the open AMD dropped hard and made a sharp reversal. When the price reversed enough that I thought it wouldn’t double back I went long. My target was the HOPM (44.80) with a stop at the bottom of the wick. I took a quick 1st partial, then a second when SPY started heading lower. Then a few seconds later I got cold feet due to SPY and exited. Yes, the was still far away from my B/E which it never tested on the way to it’s big run. So I need to get better about that. I just hate when my stop gets slid right through and makes a winning trade into a losing one. CCL dropped the first minute and bounced on the LOPM. The price reversed back to VWAP and I shorted on the pullback. I was a bit nervous on theis trade but Andrew then called it a few seconds later which made me feel that the trade idea was OK. My target was the 11.70 level with a stop at the 200MA-1min. I did take an extra partial when I was losing faith but looking at it now there was of course no reason to. The price reached my target and I exited on a 1min candle engulfing. What did I do good today? Not feeling FOMO (too much) about the AMD early exit. Just something I need to work on. What I am grateful from today? Shorted a stock. I have definitely gotten to long bias. I need to work on that.

3-31-20 AIS 0725, 6 hours, 6/10 Had a hard time sleeping last night PAT: Over-trading and chasing. Do my best to stay focused when trading AMD All I can say here is that I was having a party with my Christmas lights Everything wrong including Over-trading, Chasing and FOMO. and somehow I ended up +1.5R CONS: Over-trading I guess the last couple days are my regression. Pros: Kept my over-trading losses small Rs: +1.5

Mar 31 - 2 stop outs and successfully have traded four straight trades outside of my edge. This is what I refer to as being out of the zone. Just like when I was playing baseball, there are some points in time that you are just not seeing the ball correctly. What to do when you get in a slump, revisit your journal, look for what you are doing wrong, reset and step back up. Risk Management is the key to surviving times like this. Off to run to determine a way forward.

congrats on your 20R month!
