2/2 +1.0R First day of PCT, I am happy with my start. This weeks goal is to trade small and get used to the pressure of the competition.

3/4 +0.75R Trying to streamline my journaling. So I'm going to just screenshot my OneNote and post it here. These are pretty blurry. Maybe I'll try something different tomorrow . Also, tomorrow is the first real day of the PCT BootCamp Tryout. Wish me luck!!!!!

+1.0 R today 3/4. MSFT 1st try bailed early, 2nd trade was good, third trade was good, but SPY started dropping and killed momentum. DKNG ok trade, nothing special, had the 200SMA that kept it from dropping like I wanted. Tomorrow is the last day of “practice” for PCT BootCamp. My plan is to only risk either $50 or $100 this week, not sure which one yet. I don’t want to dig a big hole because of emotional trading. I won’t know how this “competition” effects my psychology until it starts Wednesday.

Sorry all, I'm finding it difficult to find the time to post here since starting PCT BootCamp. Had to test hotkeys and make charts in DaS Demo for PCT. Now I am Journaling in Chartlog, Tradervue, My Playbook in OneNote, and compiling my "Official" PCT TradeBook. Maybe once I get the hang of ChartLog I can get back to consistently posting here.

I am a novice at OneNote, so I don't know how to share my template from there. I would be happy to share it if you tell me how, lol. Attached are a couple of screen shots of my 1MinOrbDown TradeBook setup. It's basically two different "table" inserts, both 1 row, 2 columns Top table is for pictures of my trades that I screen shot every day. Second table is my criteria, trade entries and exits, then Psychology and what I could have done better Screen Shot of Template Screen Shot of full page, IDK why its so blurry on this. It won't look like that in your OneNote.

https://www.peakcapitaltrading.com Andrew has started a prop firm, there is a 3 month "bootcamp" of learning and trading to earn an interview to be hired on.

So, trying to decide if I should continue this journal thread, or start a new one for the Peak Capital BootCamp. What do you all think?

Are you talking about HotKey issues exiting, or you can’t even exit when you try to do so in the montage? Maybe take a screen shot of your montage tomorrow. There are different styles of montages in DaS.

-0.55R 5/9 Max Loss

Tuesday 5/6 +2.35R ]

FRIDAY. I traded in an airport, lol.

4/5 +1.5R

8/19 -0.7R I'm really forcing things to try and get back over $500 before I'm locked out.....it's probably a terrible idea. I should just go back to SIM and start practicing for the Peak Capital Bootcamp.

+0.02R, 6/13 I was still able to trade even though my account was below $500 in CMEG, but it is with ZERO margin. So my "R"s are all messed up, I am not able to risk 10$ per trade because my shares get limited to max buying power. I'm trying to get back above $500 without adding more capital. Last time I dipped down here, it took a few days before they locked my live account. So I'll address it then. I plan on doing the Peak Capital boot camp, so I would rather use 1k for that instead of re-loading my CMEG account. I did not do the R study pic for these, because like I said, my Rs are not accurate with limited buying power.

For the month +10R, 62% Win Rate 12 Green Days 9 Red days That is two positive trading months in a row, but with fees and commissions, it's still a net negative month again. I'm ok with that, because I'm working on my trading right now, not my profits. The negative is that my account has dipped below $500 again, so I will more than likely have to add more money to it again. Next month I'm going to have a NET positive month, not just a GROSS positive month.

9/13 +3.5R 2:1? 5/9 4:1? 0/9

Here are a few pics of my TradeBook. I used OneNote and made a Template. I have 4 templates total right now both 1MinOrbs and both 5MinOrbs. Template I will be able to click whichever strategy, then just hit add page and it will automatically load the template. I can then add my screen pics with drag and drop. Go through my checklists, input my entries exits, put a checkbox in my Psychology. then put any notes on what I could have done better in the trade to help see where my areas of improvement are. I print each trade out and put it in my BBT TradeBook 3 Ring Binder. Today I went back and entered all of my 1MinOrbUps for the past two months and printed them out. I'm considering printing out the page without filling out the checkboxes and remarks. I think doing it by hand might have a better "imprint" on my mind.

I took the time today to start my Tradebook, I went back through all of my trades the past couple months and put my different orbs in their own folders, 1min orb up, 1 min orb down, 5 min orb up, 5 min orb down. I realized I was trading pretty well before I started my "all day trading" at work last week. I used OneNote to make templates for each trade strategy. I'll share them here tomorrow when I get back on my trading laptop https://twitter.com/hailchaser2/status/1299875988235485190?s=20

8/18 -0.57R MAX LOSS 2:1? 7/9

Oh My 19/22 only +4.7R My buying power is screwing me up with higher priced stocks, so my risk isn't $10 on them, so when I partial, it's a very small amount. I might have to put a top cap on stock prices I trade.

Holy Shit 16/26 +0.02R MAX LOSS with commissions/fees I took my trading laptop to work and turned my -1.5R morning into a +0.02, but max loss. Too many trades to do a normal review. Here they are.

Friday -2.9 Max Loss 3/9 2:1? 3/3 4:1? 2/3 PDD Pre Market 3 trades. I think I need to stop trading pre-market. It takes away from my pre-market prep, I concentrate on the trade instead of watching all of my stocks in play and planning an open strategy. PDD.1 -0.9R PDD.2 -0.56R PDD.3 +0.71R 2:1? YES 4:1?
