Thanks boss!! AAL's price action was very strange today it was gapping up 8% and completely sold off to -2%.

Takeaways I must stick to ABCD patterns because this is what I know best My worst week was when I was "scalping" and trading Double Tops and Bottoms My hotkeys are allowing me to make profit even when I have more losers than winners. I need to improve on my ABCD patterns My monthly goal was to have at least 1R (surpassed expectations)

Awesome trade man! This was was also a 5min ORB. I originally had this stock on my 5min ORB watchlist, but swapped it for another, because my strategy involves entering near VWAP, and this was was so far away. Looking back at AAL's chart today it remained super far away from VWAP for all of today and all of yesterday (during market hours at least). I don't understand that.

I agree, I do not take ABCD patterns if they cross the VWAP. Those trades are unreliable in my opinion. I want my patterns to respect moving averages as much as possible.

This was a great trade. Your first trade was perfect. I also liked how you managed your second trade well and got out at break even. No need to lose profit. Great trading Matt.

Stock: CCL Result: -1R loss Strategy: ABCD Long/Short: Long Entry: 1Two attempts to find an entry at around 20.60. S/L: Loss of VWAP Why did you take the trade?: After a strong move up and breaking and appearing to hold VWAP this looked like a good ABCD entry. My first entry stopped out, the price then dipping back below EMA and returning up. I took a second attempt seeing this hold VWAP, but again stopped out and came off it. What happened next?: I took a total loss of 1R on these 2 trades, as I kept my stop tight. The stock rolled over from here and didn't break VWAP, settled back down 40c lower. How did you feel after taking the trade?: I felt ok. Not losing my shit anyway! You win some you lose some. I lost this but with a tight stop it was absorbable. What did you do well?: Kept a very tight stop. Questions?: So... Was this a good trade or not? Was I right to make an attempt, a second attempt? My rationale for going in was clear - the stock strong green on the day, after a strong run up, breaking VWAP and pulling back, appearing to consolidate right above VWAP. I had every right to anticipate a continued move up right? There will always be trade ideas that don't work out. Was this just one of them?

That second entry looks good to me, just didn't get a big move out of it. Because you had such a nice range going, I would have considered putting my stoploss at the low of the previous candle. With you stoploss where it was you aren't getting a good risk/reward. I would want to bail from the trade as soon is it re-enters the range.
