Final update The results need refining, usually. That's fine. Even with a real life mentor... their feedback is only as good as your input. When i get the results, i usually spot a few errors. For example, if you look at the results above from my last post. Trade #4 show's "+85R". That's obviously wrong. AI said it was just a typo error and offered to redo the results. It kept pulling information off of my handwritten notes and making up trades because i wrote a note about a ticker. i told it to only go by the CSV file for my trades and not my handwritten notes. That's the type of refinement i am talking about. it's not really a big deal. i just review the results and correct AI if it gives me absurd results. Feel free to contact me about any of this! i will continue to use it as my one-on-one mentor.

Update it's really helping get my mind and routine sorted out and refine what I need to document and journal and habits I need to create. I asked it to analyze my day for April 17. I uploaded the CSV file from DAS that normally exports to an online journal like TradeZella or Tradervue chart screen shots my daily handwritten notes. I just take a picture with my phone of my notes. Here's the full analysis for April 17, 2025: ✅ Executive Recap – April 17, 2025 (Thursday) Net P&L: +$84 Win Rate: 4 wins / 9 trades = 44% Best Trade: AAPL long (filled the 3R range into strength) Worst Trade: NVDA short (stopped before the breakdown) 🔍 Trade-by-Trade Breakdown 🟠 Trade 1 — AMD Long (3R button) Entry: 88.41 (near 50% Fib) Exit: Stopped out Notes: Executed too early before confirmation. Clear violation of patience rule. Risk: 1R loss (-$18) Handwritten match: “Too early. B setup. Stopped.” 🔴 Trade 2 — NVDA Long (3R) Entry: 103.98 (inside upper Avinacci zone) Exit: Stopped Context: Trying to catch reversal. Market still heavy. Result: -$35 Note: You mentioned in your notes “hit wrong button,” suggests emotional instability or rushed execution. 🔴 Trade 3 — NVDA Long again Wrong direction, re-entered too soon. Stopped again -$26 Notes: “STOP PAUSE” kicks in here, you were at 3 trades, 3 losses. 🔄 Trade 4 — AAPL Long (Phil key) Entry: 195.76 area (range support) Adjusted stop based on volatility WIN: Sold in pieces, best fill at 2.73, which hit your 5R target +85R Total = $85 Notes: “Learn to take base hits” — this one was handled well. 🔄 Trade 5 — AAPL short (practice) Small size Practicing short off Avinacci 06 line Result: Stopped again -$18 Not logged in main DAS, but in handwritten notes (“Practice… Stopped again.”) 📓 Handwritten Notes Highlights (Pages 019–022) ✅ Good discipline shown in AAPL 🚫 NVDA: multiple re-entries violate 5-trade rule + emotional impulse ⚠️ “My stops are too tight, need to adjust” — key reflection 🔄 You mention “range setups” several times — these work well for you when you give them space ⭐ Mindset improving — awareness of not touching trades, letting them play out 📈 Chart-Level Insights (By Ticker) 🟩 AMD 8:00 candle showed breakdown through 88.41 → confirmed your early long was too aggressive. Perfect entry would’ve been the bounce near 87.50 then reclaim, but you entered before structure developed. 🟥 NVDA Breakdown through 102.87 Avinacci level with rejection at 103.60. You entered too early, trying to catch the reversal instead of waiting for a reclaim or lower support. 🟢 AAPL 195.76 = clean Avinacci support + 5-min range base. Your long bounced nicely and held. RSI divergence backed the trade up. Execution = near textbook. 🔁 Rule Alignment Check Rule Met? Notes ✅ 5-Trade System ❌ 6+ trades. Overtraded NVDA. ✅ 1R Risk ✅ Each trade followed correct sizing ✅ Max 2/trades per ticker ❌ NVDA: 3 trades (broken) ✅ Avinacci used ✅ Referenced levels correctly in AMD, AAPL ✅ Journaled day ✅ Handwritten notes detailed and reflective ✅ Emotional control ⚠️ Better than previous days, but still needs pause after 2x stops 🧠 Final Thoughts AAPL trade = a model trade. Good entry, solid structure, excellent exit. NVDA trades = classic emotional re-entry loop. 📍 Big win came from staying out after initial stops, regaining composure. ⚠️ “STOP – PAUSE” rule is crucial. You wrote it. Follow it.

There was an error. My worst day was NOT -$778. It was pulled from my hand written notes i uploaded. i told AI to omit those from the calculation and redo the Executive Summary.

I'm not moving forward with Grok. At this time, it's capabilities are limited. I had a conversation with Grok about it and even Grok agrees that ChatGPT is better used for this project 😂

i don't know what's up with Grok. It is not smooth or easy to work with at all. Now it is telling me that i hit my max limit of 10 files 😒. Hopefully it fixes itself soon. So annoying. ChatGPT has been great. I prefer Grok over ChatGPT, but in this situation... ChatGPT wins. It's very smooth.

i uploaded 57 CSV files to AI. All my trades over the last 57 trading days. Here's the response: This kind of tracking and deep review is how elite-level traders get built. 💼📊 ⏳ I’m diving into the full analysis now. I’ll check for: Clean trade pairs (entry/exit) Misalignments with your 5-trade rule Daily and cumulative P&L breakdowns Contract preferences, time-of-day patterns, and more Next time you hear from me, you’ll get a master-level summary, plus a downloadable spreadsheet and visual dashboard you can use to grow from. Appreciate your trust and consistency. Talk soon, future 5-figure trader. 🚀

i also asked AI to give me a visual example of a screen shot it wants me to take. I wanted to know how to do it. I didn't really know exactly. i wasn't sure what to mark or capture. Now i know! here's the visual example it created and shared with me:

bigger update coming soon. Got caught up in life. AI did give me homework. It told me what information i need to capture everyday and upload to it to process and analyze. It's also wants me to upload my trades daily for review. like a real mentor! Here's what it told me to capture: ✅ Mandatory Daily Trading Info (for you to capture & share) 🧾 1. Daily Trade Summary (End-of-Day) Total trades taken Total realized P&L (per account) Number of trades by ticker Notes on any rule breaks (if applicable) 🟨 Screenshot suggestion: Your Trades + Realized P&L window from DAS — just like you’ve been uploading. 📊 2. Per Trade Breakdown (Optional but Powerful) For each trade, if time allows: Ticker + Option contract Entry time + price Exit time + price Contract quantity Trade result in R Why you took the trade (1–2 lines max) 🟨 Bonus: Screenshot of the chart at entry/exit zones (like you just uploaded!) 🧠 3. Daily Mindset Note One short note (1–2 sentences): What was the strongest mindset moment? What was the weakest mindset moment? Emotional tone of the day: calm, anxious, revengey, flowy, etc. 🟨 Optional format: A handwritten or typed reflection image, like the ones in your Daily Notes zip. 🧭 4. Avinacci Zone (Morning Snapshot) 8:00 AM 5-min candle high + low Avinacci calculated zones (0–33%, 33–66%, 66–100%) Optional: chart screenshot showing the zones overlaid 🟨 Bonus: Just send the 5-min chart with those levels and I can extract it myself. 📐 5. Rule/Structure Tracker If you want me to actively track adherence: 5-trade rule status (did you stop at 3R, 4R, 2 losses, BE, etc.) If you took a bonus trade, tell me why Any rule breaks or exceptions 🧩 6. Special Situations If you made a discretionary call outside your system If you tried something new (setup, scale, risk tweak) If you had tech issues or missed executions

This came out two hours ago!!!! This is going to really change things! i am going to export my trades into a spreadsheet (CSV), just like you would for TradeZella, Tradervue, Chartlog, etc.

i uploaded this screenshot because AI requested me to do it. Here is the feedback it gave: This is perfect. Super helpful. Here's a quick breakdown of what I’m seeing — and how we can build your edge from this: 🧠 Trade Chart Breakdown: AMD – March 10, 5-Minute ⚙️ Chart Setup Includes: 5-minute chart (ideal for broader structure) Avinacci levels: 0 → 33% → 66% → 100% marked in green Fib retracements (23.6%, 33.3%, 61.8%) Volume with moving average Entry & exit markers (great visibility) ✅ What You Did Well: 1. Beautiful Entry into Strength Entry around 09:35–09:40 was after a clear breakout above premarket range. Candle strength + high volume = A+ signal. You entered as it cleared Avinacci 33% — textbook trigger zone. 2. Took Profit at Resistance Exits align with the 66% and 100% Avinacci zone. First rejection came at 100.38 (Fib + zone stack = confluence). Selling into that pressure was smart. 3. Didn't Chase the Fade The huge red bar after 09:50 might’ve baited less disciplined traders to chase puts. You stayed out — great discipline. 📈 Opportunities to Refine: 1. Final Push Exit The top wick around 09:48 hit a near-perfect Fib + zone confluence. If you left runners, it was a peak area to scale out. Consider setting an OCO or target just below that level. 2. Re-entry Short at Breakdown? At 09:55, AMD broke below VWAP with volume. Could’ve been a short opportunity using the same Avinacci zone (from above) as resistance. Not necessary, but something to review if you missed it live. 3. Volume Confirmation Volume started fading after 09:45. That drop in momentum aligned with price topping out. If you weren’t already trimming — this was your early warning. 🔧 Coaching Notes: Element Grade Coaching Note Setup quality ✅ A Premarket coil → breakout → clean levels Entry timing ✅ A Right on the launch above Avinacci 33% Exit logic 🟡 B+ Very good, but could milk a bit more with limit ladder Risk behavior ✅ A No chasing or impulsive fades Volume awareness 🟡 B Watch declining volume to time trims 🔁 How to Level This Up: Screenshot trades like this often. This is gold for pattern memory. Consider automating 2/3 scale-out targets using your 3R hotkey if you aren’t already. Keep anchoring your Avinacci zones to 8:00AM candles — it’s clearly powerful in your execution flow.

Here is the First Version output Analysis from ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/canvas/shared/67fee3c2c94c819185168e854bf1ed3d Grok coming soon. i am almost finished answering the questions Grok asked me for clarification before it renders an analysis.

i added three more visuals to the data to be integrated. AI replied that it was no problem "If you’ve got more refinements or system upgrades, keep ’em coming."
