Monday 04/13/2020 I had a well-being score of 7.5/10 this morning. I took 1 live trade with DAL. My watchlist: MU, MGM, DAL, TSLA, CCL, and BA. Well I took a 5 day vacation. I didn’t feel myself lately. My discipline was really waning. I usually don’t take enough time off from trading, but at least my family’s vacation will force me to stop trading a couple times a year. Due to the pendemic the vacation was cancelled of course. So I went awhile without a break. Plus, the additional stress that of course will be added at this time, I needed a break. I was actually prepared to trade last Wednesday, but I didn’t feel myself. I didn’t even have a plan at the open. I always have a plan. I knew something was up and shortly after the open I turn off my platform and walked away for 5 days. DAL had an interesting PM. The last five 1min candles before the open all touched the 24.95 price without breaking it. SPY was also dropping as we went into the open. The plan was to go short if the price broke the 24.95 and 200MA-1min. DAL opened with strong volume. And quickly dropped below the two levels. I shorted with PDC as my target and the 24.95 as my stop. The price dropped and I took two quick partials. Then I set my autostop at B/E and was quickly stopped out. Another minute later it looked like DAL was setting up even more for a short and SPY was really dropping. So I shorted again. I know I take terrible partials, but today was ridiculous. I will chalk this up for being my first day back. But I caught a 10R move, so I usually get about half in profit. Today I got 1.4R profit from a 10R move. What did I do good today? Good use levels and watching SPY What I am grateful from today? Taking a short. I have been taking so many longs lately I am getting a bias.

Aurbano. A million thks. Used both FinViz and Chat room styles......perfecto. U saved an old mans eyes with the chat styles man its so sweet. Font is chat are perfect, colors r great,,layout with sliding top box is amazing man u too stylish. Going to use this tool more often

Super new to this as well. I've been looking at this for a few months and now my hours for work have changed and this is going to work out much better possibly. I plan on being a full-time trader by the end of next month, will quit my regular job then, buy a sailboat and do this all remotely starting this summer. j/k. This stuff isn't easy, but with enough education, I think it's possible. Having a chatroom to be a part of certainly will help. I will say this, if anything is worth doing, it's worth doing well. Would love to talk to others out there who have either gone through this learning curve or who are doing it right now. I'm watching all the videos on BBT right now and learning as much as I can. It IS overwhelming, but I want to find ONE setup that I can learn to spot and then master it. Just one. Hoping the videos will help more as I go through them. Let me know if there is a newbie group for us, I'd love to be a part of it. And, yes, I'm trying to learn by watching the trading and follow along. I LOVE the trading re-cap videos some of the other traders have posted! Some of them are super helpful and have great explanations of what they are looking at while the trade is happening. Cheers!
