Lee, thanks for the answer. Btw, I have 1 more :). I switch to my real acct on the montage on Das so can I trade, right. But when I enter another ticker on that montage then it automatically switch back to Demo acct. Is there any way to make it not to do that? Thanks again.

Hey BBT, I have a crazy idea, and I like to know if anyone taking the challenge. I like to have videos like what Slava did for us showing his trading room and trading station, and post them on our YoutTube channel. We can do for 30 days, and at the end, whoever got the most view or most likes (we can decide later on the rules) I love to buy them the newest iPhone: iPhone 11 Pro Max (exactly like I have). Is it a crazy idea? (I know Justin, I know what you want to say!) Anyone would take it?

4-9-20 AIS 0750, 7 hours, 7/10 PAT: Over-trading outside of playbook. Take a full size position when its an A+ setup I could not find a good direction today and kept most of my entries small. I did end up Over-trading a bit. Overall with the way everything seemed to move I am happy to get out with only a -0.6R Loss Cons: Over-trading Pros: Keeping the losers small by reducing risk but still holding to my stops Rs: -0.6

Hey guys, if using a phone please record horizontally.

Hey team. Here is my new setup. 2 x 36'' Samsung curved monitors, Mac Book Pro 15'' 3.5 GHz i7, Logitech wireless mouse.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far. There have just been a couple setups that knowing I could have given it just a little more space for the 4R move would made the trade in to a winner. I've only taken maybe 20 of these so far, so I'm sure my lack of experience with the setup plays a role haha. Still though, knowing that distance could only be a benefit. I appreciate your activity in the forums! Hope all is well.

Doesn't Aiman just visually put his stop tight above the 2 min candle that just made the 2 min low? Integrate that with Kyle's hotkey where you just double click where you want your stop and then it'll do the position sizing for you, makes it a quick and easy entry. I could be wrong, but it seems like that's what he's doing if you look at his recap:

Day 64 - April 8, 2020 25 Tickets 3 Symbol Red Day Watchlist & Game Plan: PINS Game Plan Long If it drops to 16 and holds, look for a long as this is a daily level this could hold target back at 17+ If this moves up right at the open, watch 17.16, buy on break through and hold above If sees a major drop through 16 S1 down to 15S2 (PDC) look for a long reversal off double bottom Short If drops through 16, tried to retest and below VWAP, short down to S2 at 15 If retests 17 couple times and making lower highs, look for double top LEVI Game Plan Long If it breaks through 12.56 look for a retest and long on it holding If drops down to PDC at 12, look for a long reversal into 12.6 If drops to straight through 12 no testing, look for a long reversal from 11.58 PINS (1) - Long - Reversal (x2) Had a few ideas on PINS, was long biased. Game plan was to buy long on 16 if it held. Got a little to excited (also not in my setups) and got in as soon as 16 confirmed initial bounce. Entry was poor, and my stop was even worse 16.02? Didn’t even put it under 16 round level. Stopped out, then continuing trying to catch the knife, bought as it held 16 again, revenge trading as I didn’t want to miss the move up after getting stopped out. Took partial off right away as realized I needed to wait for confirmation. Stopped out with the rest….. Improvement: Need to do more research on this setup, idea wasn’t completely wrong, just didn’t have a process for entry confirmation - got in way to early. Proper entry here is 10:10 once double bottom confirms and bounces back - bullish. PINS (2) - Long - 1min and 5 min - VWAP Break and Go Idea played out, but didn’t get an entry…ended up waiting for the test and hold of VWAP, taking it long as it helf both VWAP and MA's. Hot keyed the entry, but shot up and got top tick poor fill. Came back down and tested VWAP, this would be ideal entry. Spiked up and I realized there was a MA there so took off 1/4, kept moving up and took another partial off too soon, left final one to ride missed my target by 2cents and came back down to stop me out. Improvement: Could look to add size after the first partial, held the MA and was making a higher consolidation, could be adding it back on and selling back into the size. RCL - Short - 1min - Failed Pop (x3, -1 Adjusted Stop) Was waiting for RCL to hit a double top, but missed the tnry as it didn’t come up all the way. Ended up taking it as a failed pop back into MA's with tight stop, too early no confirmation. Took it again as it roled out, and started falling through MA's - covered too quick, and then again into previous level. Hit 2R but didn’t cover. Stopped out on bounce and hold through MA's, Tried it one more time on the next break down through MA's partialed too easy and then stopped out. Improvements: Trying too hard to force a trade here. Need to be looking on the 5 min - showing no weakness, getting bought back up and closing towards top of candle. Buyer was in tact. RCL (2) - Short - 1min and 5 min - Head and shoulder (-1 Adjusted Stop to Breakeven) Watching CCL, SPY and AAL all looking like they were t hitting a high, ended up taking RCL as it looked like it rejected off a head on shoulder and a bearish doji wicking to the top which is bearish. Didn’t hit my target, but bounced off MA, covered on the next drop into same level in case of a hold. Partiailed to early, and adjusted stop to breakeven. 12:06 Note - market has way to much buying coming in…need to wait for backside. Notice I'm biased short right now and trying to force a position on the short side. Need to wait for confirmation AAL - Short - 1min - Technical Breakdown (chasing, -1 Adjusted stop) Saw it as it consolidated and rejected but didn’t take it..ended up getting in as it broke down chasing…took partials into previous level and another partial as the bid at 11.15 kep refreshing and stepping up..adjusted the rest to stop above previous high. Improvement: Had no deal being in this as Buying was strong on the 5min, and holding above consolidate are from where it broke out. No major signs of weakness, signs of strength on increase in buying. Good opportunity for a long. Todays Review Overall was an okay day…still haven't put together a solid play. Feels like I am close to getting there, but then taking plays that aren't in my setup…then get trigger shy to take the setups that are there. Also not happy about my changing of orders, cheated myself and turned on drag order to change and have moved it MANY timed. Even though I know I shouldn’t. Back to turning that option off, need the computer to restrict me and help my self control… Now that I am sticking to just 2-4 stocks, think I will get caught trying to test the same idea 2-3 times. Be careful with this. Wait for confirmation, get it…if goes your way and offers another chance look for another. Daily Report Card 1. Only Take trades using risk calculated hotkey = 8/8 2.

4-8-20 AIS 0800, 6 hours, 7/10 Time to button down and stick to what I know PAT: Over-trading outside of playbook. Take a full size position when its an A+ setup I had way more patience today doing a little visualizing during meditation as Dr. Katz recommended SQ I felt very good about my first trade but only wished I would have taken a partial at HOD. I was given the opportunity to reduce risk on a small bounce so I took it. After It failed I said I was not going to trade anymore till after 1100. I talked with Ted about it and now realize I should not penalize myself for a good trade that did not work out. So I will change the rule to one Bad trade before 1100. There was no reason that I did not take the trade again on the bounce of VWAP right after it failed. Second entry made another ABCD on the 1min for a small entry and I added once I felt better about the trade. Took a partial and it came back to stop me out by a couple cents. I reentered again when it came back through the 20ema and added on for a double size position, not out of hope but on L2 action. was able to get 6 partials but I never had a chance to add on so I was left with a tiny share size so I doubled the size bringing my BE still to a decent level. I only exited the trade because I had to leave to take car of my other business. Cons: Bad Rule kept me from taking the trade right after I got stopped out. This is changed starting tomorrow Pros: had the patience to wait after my Visualization and meditation this morning PB Trade: SQ Rs: +1

Here's my trading set-up. Looking forward to upgrading my travel set-up next! That can definitely wait as know ones traveling. LOL
