@tntp45 Hey man, I took a 5 min ORB today that worked out, thought you might dig it.

Back from our short adult vacation. SIM again, +2.4R for the day. chased NCLH at the open. should have waited for the pullback to enter, but I had FOMO once the price broke through the TinFoilHat line (green dashed line). This trade did not meet my Orb criteria. AMD, also did not meet my Orb criteria. This was a play with SPY selloff, since AMD had just failed to stay above PMH (red dotted line) and SPY tanked fast, I guessed AMD would follow. 5MinOrbUp on SAVE, don't remember if I chased this a bit or if it was just a bad fill. This met most of my 5Min criteria, but was not above 5Min MAs. MGM, HOD BO, not one of my current playbook trades. AZN, impulse trade. TSLA VWAP held as support. I guess this could be considered a 5MinOrbUp, with 1 min ABCD. but I was not looking at it as a 5MinOrb, I was just looking at VWAP bounce back up. TSLA, double top, when it failed I went ahead and exited before the original stop. Most of today's trades were not the setups I am supposed to be concentrating on and taking. But it felt good to be back to the markets after a few days off.

Hi everyone! I've been a buy and hold investor for 30 years, and have been really interested in starting to become more of a trader as my time horizon for retirement gets shorter and I have some capital to trade with. I pretty much fit the mold that I live in the Andrew lays out in his book....I've made a little money trading, but I feel like it's more luck, and I didn't give it the respect it deserves. I'm a math guy and screens make sense to me, so I've been good at getting into positions, but I am horrible when it comes to taking profits as FOMO sets in. I never thought about the psychology in trading. I was so grateful to find this site and the books as they have really opened my eyes, and I can get on track before I really did something stupid! I live in the Jacksonville, FL area, and look forward to participating in the social aspect of the site! Thanks! Chuck
