The two tools I have found helpful for this are: PowerToys FancyZones – Divide your screen(s) into equal parts. and AquaSnap – Drag and snap windows together. Using these tools can really help in creating custom desktop layouts without having to “eye-ball” it.

I took that exact same Short on INO at 949am. My recap said the same thing as you. Just pure desperation and boredom. You werent the only one today - but we have something to learn from! Have a good weekend and thank you for sharing.

Overall, this week was by far one of the worst. I was exhausted every day this week due to my work. I would often get home around 1030 pm, go to sleep around 1130pm, and wake up at 5 to trade. I need to start incorporating naps into my schedule.

My trades on TWTR. I consider this to have been my best trading session so far, not because of wins or losses but because I was disciplined and took clear strategic entries. I've never felt calmer when trading. Entry 1: An attempt at a long squeeze. TWTR had gapped up strongly PM and continued to do so. Seeing the pullback I took a punt that longs would take profits and create selling pressure, and I entered short. This didn't happen, and after 15 seconds of the price hovering around my entry I decided to come off the position. As you can see this eventually would have been a profitable trade if I'd held on. However for scalping plays like this I'm really looking for immediate resolution. Every second in this position made it feel less likely I'd make profit and more like a coin flip, so I came off break even. Entry 2: Very pleased with this trade. The price fell back, touched the 9EMA, held it, and began to move up. I took an entry with a stop below the 9EMA, and partialled out first at 2R, then 4R. The final partials were more a case of just banking profit on the way back down and freeing myself up to look for another trade. Entry 3: This was either a head and shoulders / mountain pass, depending on which way you look at it. For the Mountain Pass - I know it wasn't a strict MP set up, as the consolidation between the two 'peaks' was only one bar. But I'm also coming to think that at the open everything is compressed. The second peak failed lower than the first. I think my entry was a little late, I wanted to wait for confirmation before entering given how strong the stock had been, I had to be sure I wasn't getting in the way of a pullback. I went short and then took four partials on the way down. Partials: A quick note on these. I need to do partialing better. I am currently using a P/L based stop loss, so I'll set a stop at -$10 P/L, take a first 50% partial when the P/L hits $20, take a second 50% partial when it gets back to $20 again (so now I'll be $20 banked with 25% share still held), and the final partial I'll generally then come off after a few ticks further or if a reversal happens. This could be worked out better, and I also want to look into using fixed risk hot keys.

Hey fam, I have two technical questions regarding DAS. 1. When I have pre loaded levels under Study Config on my charts such as pre market highs/lows and the previous day highs/lows I cannot zoom in past those levels. So on stocks that have gapped a lot and the previous days levels are far away on the chart it will not let me zoom into the current price action without those levels in the frame. This makes the candles really small. I have overcame this by manually doing levels which allows me to zoom in as much as i want on the current price action, but am looking for a way to overcome DAS not letting me zoom in to where the pre loaded levels aren't in the frame. Does anyone know how to overcome this? 2. I am using Kyle's hotkey where I double click to set a stop based on my $ risk to go long/short. Once it make the purchase it sets a order to sell all at that stop. Well to partial I have to clear that stop order manually, take my partial, and then set a new stop order. As you can imagine, this is not the ideal situation in the open when things are moving fast and you need to take partials quick. Does anyone know how I can take partials even with the stop order in place? I know i will have to set a new order with the updated shares after, but I need to be able to partial quick without having to cancel the original order first. I use CMEG and am not in SIM if that helps? Thanks to anyone that can help! - Jesse

This worked like a charm. Thank you sir!

1) I'm not quite sure with this one, I don't have that experience. Have you tried resetting the chart with a hotkey like: MinuteChart 1 1d; NumBar 30 2) You need to clear the first stop order using CXL ALLSYMB. When Long this will take a 50% partial, and then set a NEW stop at Break Even, if you don't want to move to B/E then have it =StopPrice CXL ALLSYMB;Route=LIMIT;Share=Pos*0.5;Price=Bid-0.05;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos-share;TIF=DAY+;SELL=SEND
