Today was basically 0.5R before commissions, so -3R after commissions. UBER, gapped down 2%, Trending down in the pre market, staying below MAs and VWAP. Price moved above VWAP but sold back below the first minute, I entered when it broke below first candle, got 1 partial and stopped at BE, after another try and fail above VWAP, I shorted again, I chased this entry, should have been the candle before. still got lucky and got a partial and stop out BE. Later short on UBER, I entered as soon as price fell below VWAP, I am not supposed to do this, I'm supposed to wait for a pullback to VWAP for entry, it ended up working out. UBER number 4, I was trading on my phone through DAS App, in my app the consolidation was above VWAP, but when I got on DAS platform to journal tonight, I see that it was actually below VWAP when I entered. Partialed slowly all the way up to PCL. Uber number 5 Phone trade also I shorted two candles after exiting my earlier long position. It dropped below all three MAs, I added to my short when it failed to break 28 again. I was able to get some good partials down to the 200 SMA. GM, I had two failed shorts to start out. The third one started working and I added to that position. Got a couple partials and stopped out BE. After stopping out at BE on that quick spike, I shorted again. SILK, this was a bad entry, the R:R wasn't there, but I did get a partial and stop BE. BA another phone trade, I think I just heard someone in the chatroom mention it was moving up so I took it long when it crossed my marked daily level. I was hoping for a big move, so I never partialed, but moved my stop to BE once I had room. PTON, another phone trade. Not really a setup, just a boredom trade. DIS, phone trades also, I am not really sure why I entered long, I guess I was playing BO above 105?, when I got stopped out, I flipped to short. Rode it down to VWAP then PCL, I then I added to my short when it broke PCL. The trade ended up moving back up after my add. DIS trade continued, too long of timeframe for one pic DIS continued again, this pic has my add attempt I over traded today, I was 8/13, but it was mostly small slow wins, and a couple big quick losses.

Thanks @Mark D., You are definitely not intruding or offending. I appreciate any and all feedback, advice, scolding, or encouragement anyone in the community gives me.

Hi Bobby, You're not letting anyone down, everyone in this community knows how difficult the learning curve is. It's a tough enough game as is, no need to put unnecessary blame on yourself. Mike Bellafiore from SMB Capital says that he's maybe seen 1 person in his entire career of training be profitable in their first year. and that's the best of the best training, strategies, psychologists and mentoring so please don't be too hard on yourself. i'm not sure there's anyone in this community that was green their first year, including Andrew. Maybe Carlos and Aiman? It's going to be months of red days then little by little you get more proficient, it's a marathon for sure. One thing that helped me was the DAS auto stop at -3R per day. I found -2R to be too restrictive but if i have three losers in a row i know i'm not reading the market right and i'd better pack it in and come back fresh the next day. Hope i'm not intruding or offending. i've been there so i know exactly how you feel. just wanted to provide some encouragement. Keep at it!

Awesome thanks for the response Abiel

If someone is interested, I wrote a few AutoHotkey commands to add new rows and perform other actions in the Market Viewer through hotkeys. In the attached file you can find hotkey scripts to: Delete the selected row (ALT+D) Delete all the rows (SHIFT+ALT+D) Add a new row (ALT+N) Export the current list to a file (ALT+E) Import the previously exported list (ALT+I) The last two commands are useful to copy the content of a Market Viewer window to another Market Viewer window Additionally, there is a command to add the current symbol selected in the Montage window to the Market Viewer. However, the script is written to work only if the Market Viewer window is the only one located in the same screen of the Montage window. If you need the script can be adapted to insert the symbol in a specific Market Viewer (follow the instructions in the script). To use the script, change the extension of the file to .ahk and launch it with AutoHotkey (https://www.autohotkey.com/) EDIT: Updated with a new version, including some new functions: Possibility to add the date to the exported files (IncludeDateMVList parameter at the beginning of the file) Some functions to calculate the profit targets based on multiples of your predefined risk A function to drag a symbol from the Market Viewer list to a chart (useful if you don't want to use a montage window for each chart) A function to toggle between standard and bigger Montage window height (to display wider market depth when needed) DAS-BBT-V1.ahk.txt
