-
Day 15 recap on the simulator: +199. Green is Good New balance on the Simulator: -$217 Conclusions: I traded really good today. I was patient and I did not overtrade. I waited for the setups to reveal themselves I took small share sizes from 100 up to 400. I have to trade as similar as I would trade live (small share sizes)

Day 12 recap on the simulator: +158. Green is Good New balance on the Simulator: +$194 Conclusions: I again did very bad in ORB but very good in the reversal. Still have to work on my journal and voices recording my trades at the very exact moment I make them

Day 11 recap on the simulator: -33. Red is learning New balance on the Simulator: -$52 Conclusions: Totally overtraded today! I took 51 tickets. I was just entering the trades based on price action going up or down in a really choppy morning I will force myself to voice record my trades so I understand better what I´m doing and I force myself to have a set up before entering the trade I´m every time getting more proficient in reading the level 2. Looking for big bids or asks and waiting for level breaks once the sell or buy wall are knocked out!

Day 10 recap on the simulator: -224. Red is learning New balance on the Simulator: -$19 (Im going to start with the tradervue reports balance) Conclusions: I should give more space to my stop loss and letting them going a bit above or below before triggering them Traded good today, my setups just did not work but follow the plan I should not trade stocks with high spreads like 50 cents! I should always take that into account before placing the order I will start using tradervue as my visual performance journal but I´m still looking into other alternatives I will try to have at least one hour of preparation before the market opens

Day 9 recap on the simulator: +200. Green is Good New balance on the Simulator: +$36 Conclusions: Overall I traded very well today. I made less than 30 tickets. Before doing reversals I have to make sure there is an important historical level (markets high and lows, daily charts, etc)

Thanks for the advice Nassarsyed :)

Day 8 recap on the simulator: -201. Red is learning New balance on the Simulator: -$164 Conclusions: I was jumping in and out of trades... Overtrading for the most part. Went above 50 tickets I did not respect ORB and did not wait for price to surpass opening or the wick of the previous candle I have to plan better set ups with clear stop loss placed on an important level and be more patient with my trades

Day 6 recap on the simulator: -274. Red is learning New balance on the Simulator: -$491 Conclusions: I overtraded today, made lot of mistakes like trading low float and medium float stock at the same time and shortkey mistake Proud of my reversals to the long side so far Adjusting my share size to 400 to 800 max per trade. I need to start journaling on excel so I can have a better look of my performance
-
This is my 5 day recap on the simulator: -411. Red is learning New balance on the Simulator: -$217 Conclusions: I will never take one minute ORB. I will wait for 5 minute ORB I cannot force a trade to work in my favor. If I have tried 3 times to go short with no success I should not try more. Building up my confidence in reversals
-
This is my 4 day recap on the simulator: -217. Red is learning New balance on the Simulator: +$194 Conclusions: Today I was not ready mentally to trade. I have some appointments early in the morning so my head was not thinking and focusing on my trades When I see strong levels of support and resistance confirmed by price action, historical levels and level 2 I should exit my trades or going the opposite direction I would like to start journaling in excel or word my trades with more details like strategy used, type of stock, number of shares, etc.. so I can learn more about my trades and what I´m better at.

This is my third day recap on the simulator: +211. Green is GOOD New balance on the Simulator: +$411 Conclusions: Today I felt my trades were more complete and accurate since I was paying attention to the Level 2 at all times (but I have to be aware that level 2 can give false signals sometimes so I have to use it with other indicators like price action and volume) I should not take trades just because someone mentions them in the chat room. I have to analyze the chart and look for patterns, entry and exit points...
