    27 September 2019 MU trade 1 Mu had today a bad earnings report so I was short bias on it. On the forst minute it opened very weak. On the second minute it pulled back to VWAP and saw it was holding that. On the way down I took it short for a 1 minute opening range breakdown. It did drop, I locked some profits in at 1:1 and got the rest out at B/E. LVS Trade 1 This was on V opening range breakout. On the 1 minute I was seeing a V pattern. I got in on the 5 minute opening range breakout. My first target was the moving average on the daily chart. It almost touched that, but then dropped below VWAP and got out of the trade. LVS Trade 2 This was a unnecessary trade. Not a clear setup visible. Not really clear triangle shape and not touches to the penny. Shouldn’t have taken this trade. MU trade 2 I made another trade on MU. Everything on the charts was telling me to go short. All the timeframes were in a downtrend, the price action was on all time frames below the moving averages, It was forming a descending wedge on the 1 minute chart with 3 touches to the penny and was also a 15 minute opening range breakdown. I really liked this one. WFC trade 1 This a good setup. All kinds of bullish signs were visible on the charts: All charts trending up, Wedge forming on the 1 and 5 minute chart, bullish hammer on the 5 minute chart, price action above all the moving averages (harmonious chart). These were enough reasons for me to go long on the 10 minute opening range breakout. Don’t really know anymore where I’ve put my stoploss. WFC Trade 2 Was really long bias on WFC after it touched VWAP 2 times. I went long on a not so clear ascending wedge pattern. After reviewing it I realized it was more like a chop area and consolidation period. Took 1 unneccesary trade on LVS and a chop trade on WFC today. Still ended the +2R

    I figured out the code for the covers....next step for me is. If i have a long position and its moved 1R....i havent taken a partial yet but i just want to hotkey my stop to my average price for my full position. If you or anyone else has this hotkey it would be much appreciated. Thank you again.

    27/9/19 decent day today, stuck to my rules, only did 2 trades even though i planned 3 because my heads in a weird place after some news so feel to stop while im up. 2 trades: 1 winner (ORB) 1 loser (descending triangle) Trade 1:WFC did the thing i like when it has no volume for the first minute then picks a direction, i missed the first move so waited for the 5 min ORB pullback to at least half the previous 5 min candle and got in for a great trade and got 4 Rs. Trade 2: lower lows on ROKU with a clear resistance line, triied to get in near the resistance but the spread was bad, it broke the support and didnt carry on so i shouldve got out at b/e but held then panicked and made a hotkey mistake but still only just over 1 R loss.

    Thank you for this...... The info William gave was also great.... I only use the 1min to find a stop sometimes but as the discussion was going I kinda feel that almost any entry would not have been worth the R/R..... I have started to try more scaling in the last two weeks and it seemed that I was going backwards in my trading.... I will continue to try new things once I go Live but in the SIM acct of course,,, Thanks for the input I do truly appreciate it.....

    September 27, 2019 - Missed this journal when doing my weekly review and notice numbers were not adding up, so I inputted the correct sample set results Sample Set Results, S P G E E 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 September 30, 2019. - SIM Day I got around 5 ½ hours of sleep. When I woke up I made the decision that if I could get through my notecards without getting confused or mixed up than I would consider trading live. Well that didn’t happen, so I decided to trade Sim. After the last couple of weeks I been struggling with the hesitation on my new strategy, so today I decided that if my setup was there and I could get an entry using a limit order at the break of the 5 minute that I would take them all. Additionally, I wanted to have some fun at the open so I decided to trade any setup I saw regardless if it was within my playbook. I wanted to have fun at the open today. In all I took 5 trades, at one point I was in three different trades at once all with range and limit orders. My first trade was on $CCL and my last exit at the end of the day when I had to go to a meeting was $CCL. I held it from 9:40 to 3:03. It chopped all day in between my stop and 1R out. Yes I had a huge stop, way too big. Overall, I had a fun day and I needed it and I got some valuable reps on entering limit orders for my new strategy. Although I only got 2 entries, I think I put in at least 5 orders that just didn’t get filled because the stock didn’t break the entry point and instead made a new high/low causing me to cancel the order.

    Vikram, you were smart to switch to sim as trading this afternoon was a joke and I was ready to lose my mind as spy was up/down/up/down and affecting my setups. Ended at -2R.

    Hi Cindy... I just recorded a lethargic video specifically to answer your question. Use the 1.5x button to speed it up... Let me know if this helps. I haven't seen Andrew's video yet, but it's probably a much better explanation. Here's the link: GL; STAY GREEN!
