    PAT: Over-trading, Need to find shorter (time) trades as I am not able to spend a lot of time in front of my screens, or something I can set with a trailing stop.

    Still not much time to dedicate

    Traded SNAP all day and made my goal

    hjere was the morning trade

    PAT: Over-trading

    Hopefully I will have time for the journal tonight

    Still no time, I did not take too many trades

    One I did not have a hard stop for and missed my stop on accident.

    2 setups did not work again

    Rs: -3

    PAT: over-trading

    Well I did not over-trade but due to the continued increase in our online business I have been unable to keep up with most of my trading and scattered while trading

    Traded pretty good I feel. Two setups did not work out and one technical mistake that took me out way too early with a full R loss.

    Rs: -2.5

    Beginning of a trend. Did not make it through VWAP and the SPY looked like it was not gonna make it to VWAP also helping me out. I did take off 50% to reduce risk since this was not going fast enough for my expectations. My stop was just above VWAP. I took off 25% at 1R and moved my stop to BE and stopped out.

  8. 4-6 to 4-9-20

    What I did bad this week:

    Technical Errors: Hotkey error a couple times but caught them fast

    Trade management: Took too little Risk in A+ setups

    Over-trading: 3 out of 4 days. Convincing myself that it is part of my PB but when reviewed it is not.

    What I did good this week:

    Respected my in trade and daily stop. Kept my losers small by taking off risk when the trade does not go my way in the time expected.

    Changing a Bad Rule that I implemented on Wed. after discussion with Ted

    Visualization with my meditation seems to work well for me

    Changes to be made this upcoming week:

    None, stay with same risk until my goal is reached

    Rules to stick by this upcoming Week:

    1. After I call it a day by either MAX Loss, Profit Target or what I am comfortable with, only use the rest of the day in SIM unless it is an A+ setup then only give back what is in my plan

    2. In-Trade and Daily Stops

    3. Do Not chase or revenge trade

    4. PB#s 1, 3 and 7 are only to be taken Live unless Rule#1

    5. Only A or better setups at time of Live trade

    6. After a losing Bad (poorly executed, out of PB Ect.) trade before 1100 I must wait till after 1100 to resume trading

    Challenges for myself this upcoming Week:

    On mic trades only with my small group if available

    Take a planned break at 1100 or 1200 for other Bus.

    @ 0850 do some exercise and then meditate to calm myself

    Notes:

    Rules are not to be broken, these will cost money every time

    My Challenges are almost as important as my Rules, Pay attention to them

    Goals and Rewards:

    +6R or more for the week to increase size.                             +2.9R for the week

    PAT: Over-trading outside of playbook. Take a full size position when its an A+ setup

    I could not find a good direction today and kept most of my entries small. I did end up Over-trading a bit. Overall with the way everything seemed to move I am happy to get out with only a -0.6R Loss

    Time to button down and stick to what I know

    PAT: Over-trading outside of playbook. Take a full size position when its an A+ setup

    I had way more patience today doing a little visualizing during meditation as Dr. Katz recommended 

    SQ

    I felt very good about my first trade but only wished I would have taken a partial at HOD. I was given the opportunity to reduce risk on a small bounce so I took it.

    After It failed I said I was not going to trade anymore till after 1100. I talked with Ted about it and now realize I should not penalize myself for a good trade that did not work out. So I will change the rule to one Bad trade before 1100. There was no reason that I did not take the trade again on the bounce of VWAP right after it failed.

    Second entry made another ABCD on the 1min for a small entry and I added once I felt better about the trade. Took a partial and it came back to stop me out by a couple cents.

    I reentered again when it came back through the 20ema  and added on for a double size position, not out of hope but on L2 action. was able to get 6 partials but I never had a chance to add on so I was left with a tiny share size so I doubled the size bringing my BE still to a decent level.

    I only exited the trade because I had to leave to take car of my other business.

    had an early Dr. appointment

    Over-traded again today. Its time to reevaluate the rest of the week

    Charts are just all over and I only have one good trade today in the morning on KSS. I should have called it there but instead I too a near target trade to MAX Loss.

    Arghh....

     

    The next two days I will limit my trades in a big way. Back to one loss before 1100. If I break these two rules either day I will force myself back to a smaller risk.

    What I did bad this week:

    Technical Errors: Hotkey error

    Let one trade go past my stop

    What I did good this week:

    Respected my in trade and daily stops except the one

    Took most trades on all of the days that I was calling out

    Feeling more confidant in my PB#s 3 and 7

    Work on playbook trades that I may need to scalp when Tape is slow or not doing what I anticipate

  16. Here is my setup for now.

    Once I have moved up a couple risk levels I will be adding another 24" monitor on the top as a reward for sticking to my plan.

    I plan on moving into a new room hopefully within a year but I need to sell out of our online business so I have room.

    Oh and by the way, My phone is an old crappy LG V20 so a new Iphone is what has been on my list for some time now. LOL

    Thank you for the opportunity not only for the phone but for opening my eyes up to trading. I follow daily and watch all the videos offered and I know BBT has been the only reason I have succeeded thus far. As of now I watch the PM Show everyday while gathering my own list from what I have learned from Carlos and Norm. I do have a few trading buddy's that I talk to live while  trading everyday (that is what the headphones are for) and we try to keep each other in line and this I feel is another reason I am continuing to grow.

    PB#3

    Start of a trend. ABCD on the 2min and PMH for first entry , partial at yesterdays low. Flipped and covered with a small loss. 

    Second  entry at the same level, partial was to reduce risk in the uncertainty. Second partial at yesterdays low took another partial when it went green. And here is where I screwed up on my hotkeys again. I got all out then on accident I hit a hot button for Buy 100 shares and sold it right away. Little did I know between the spread and the few seconds it took me to realize what I had did I lost 2.6R on the the mistake.  Tried a long again to get stopped out when the trend was broke.

    Total of all trades including the hotkey mistake -2.6R
