3-4-20
This is the first week that I am trying some new things. With my lack of sleep because of my job I am falling into a trend where I get super fatigued once a month and get into a Mini Hulk day and on a weekly basis I am super tired and fatigued especially on Wed. and Thur. So on these two days I will sleep in and get a good rest to trade the afternoon market where in the past I have proven to be more profitable also.
AIS 1200, 7 hours, 8/10
TGT
PB#3 .... The downtrend had reversed on the 15 and 30Min. I took 3 partials and all out on first trade and reentered on a new ABCD on the 2min with a partial and all out on L2 and T&S action
+4.5R
AMD
PB#3 trend scalps... these were all individual trades for Scalps in this choppy market... 2 winners 1 looser
+1R
Cons: None that I can think of right now
Pros: Had a plan to scalp off of the L2 and T&S and stuck to it.
PB Trade: TGT
Rs: +5.6R

Charts are below. I did journal these charts in Tradervue

AIS 0815, 5.5 hours, 6/10
PAT: Over-trading ..... Execute setup when ready but do not jump the gun
Bad day, I over-traded on both tickers and took too much size on both. This could have easily turned into a HULK day but talking it out helped me get out.
AMD
-1.4R
TVIX I was way over-trading and was taking too much share size causing me to have bad trade management.
-7.6R
Cons: over-trading .... did not respect daily stop and once an in-trade stop
Pros: did recognize my over-trading before I went complete HULK
Rs: -9R

2-26 and 2-27-20
I had very limited time due to no sleep and some family medical emergencies (all is ok so far) on the 26th I woke very tired, traded MU and went back to bed to be woke up for Medical Stuff. Had a very long night at work and woke up after 1100 on the 27th. traded DIS for the first loss and started to Over-trade and revenge, highly fatigued so I have shut down my system for the day.
MU on 2-26
PB#1 .... Ill let thje chart talk gonna go rest for the day.
DIS on 2-27
Comp[lete Christmas tree, Over-trading / Revenge... just too tired to trade or concentrate on anything
-1.8R
Cons: see above
Pros: recognized what I was doing in DIS so I am done for the day with a small loss
Rs: for both days -1.2R

AIS 0800, 4 hours, 5/10
PAT: Over-trading / boredom .....
MRNA
PB#7 ... 15min reversal, second 15min candle high and running through 21.25 Resistance level (old Support)... I hesitated on the partial and missed the top.... Also on the all out I accidentally reversed my position and corrected it as soon as I seen it. Even though it was looking good for a short I wanted it corrected so I do not come back and think I was a genius LOL
BE
CONS: I knew I was very sleepy this morning from a long night at work and should have stayed in bed for some afternoon trading
Pros: I controlled myself from taking trades out of boredom
PB Trade: MRNA

4-24-20
AIS 0800, 4 hours, 6/10
PAT: Over-trading ..... Live PB#3 only ....... A or better setups .......
Feeling a bit jittery..... on Thors advice I will trade 1/2 size today.....
TEVA
FDA Approval
PB#3 ... trending the 9ema on the 2min with ABCD on the 2 and 5min ...... first partial at a resistance level and slow of T&S and L2 ....... Second partial I accidentally hit the button twice leaving me with almost nothing... all out at the return to the 9ema on the 2min....
2nd entry the 5min was holding the 9ema and the new, the bad was a new 15min low on previous candle but I was able to keep a tight stop at .77 for a new 15min low .... chopped in a range forever and got bored so I am all out at first target of .90
PTON
PB#3 .... stopped out when it broke the trend shooting for the 20ema on the 2min .... maybe could have held through it but with the spy being so choppy I felt better just getting out and happy with a green day.... it did end up in a chop for next 15min before I turned off DAS for the day
Cons: Didn't need to trade PTON so I will call this Over-trading
Pros: Very patient on the morning waiting on my PB#3 setup
PB Trade: TEVA
Rs: +1.2

2-18 to 2-21-20
What I did bad this week:
I jumped the gun on 1
Trade management could have been a little better but overall it is getting better
Messed up on sizing on 2
Called out a play I did not take
Took Live Trades outside of PB#3
What I did good this week:
Respected my in trade and daily stops
Got out after either stop for the day or a goal in mind and did not trade the rest of the day as planned on all days and did not Over-trade
Getting better on Live PB#3 trades only
Trade management saved me money
Changes to be made this upcoming week:
Work on my Trend Scalps as Scalps and not long term Trends
Rules to stick by this upcoming Week:
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 for Chat, Journal, Playbook ect.
In-Trade and Daily Stops
Do Not chase or revenge trade
Live Only one loosing trade before 1100
Challenges for myself this upcoming Week:
Only A or better setups at time of trade
On mic trades only with my small group
Take a planned break at 1100 to 1200 for other Bus.
@ 0905 do some exercise and then meditate to calm myself
Stay unbiased
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
If I feel overtired I will try going back to bed and coming back to Trend Trades later....
Goals and Rewards:
+20Rs or more at end of the month to consider trading with more size in the future two months +7.2R for the week

No FOMO ect....
In large print I wrote to myself
Remember how crappy it feels when I break my basic rules .... It Ruins your Day/Night and sets a bad tone for the next few days

PAT: Overtrading..... correct entries.... montage in correct account....
KHC PB1.1
This was a premarket callout on levels.... I was a little late on break of 28.94.... I figured if it broke .64 with momentum we should be good to 28.00.... the first partial was a little early but felt like it was a good time to lock in profits.... stop was at the top of the candle body on the 1min so I was in for a small share size..... I missed adds and partials as I was in and out with a new windshield being replaced....

Cons: missing partials and adds.....
Pros: took premarket plan and ran with it....

Got out after goal reached and on two days when I realized I was over=trading (revenge maybe) I turned the computer off

Very late night last night and slept in..... AIS 0915, 4 hours, 6/10 Thanks for the PreMarket research Ted, Carlos and Norm as I relied on them for my Stocks in Play...
decided to make sure I am taking small share size in the first 30min of the market
WWE
PB#1.... Very small size here..... 5min ORB, break of VWAP, strong T&S and L2... with a nice tight stop and a target of the 50ma on the 2min and or break of the 20ema on the 5min ... got all out because of the small size where I should have partialed...
+1.3R
TWTR
PB#1..... 10min ORB, ABCD on 2min, above Mas took a partial and added in for a trend
PB#3 ..... Good trade but bad management ....... trending the 9ema on the 2min, after the first partial I was talking about the add at just before 1100 and did not take it (Ted did, LOL), took two more partials and added in on a bad spot when I was calling for it to go to the 20ema on the 5min...... Partial add and two more partials I am just OK with... the last two adds were not on a clear head and ended up stopping at BE....
+4.2R
Cons: Trade Management could have been much better as I need to listen to what I am pitching in my group...
Pros: Two winners and all out....

PAT: only PB#3 Live and all PB#3 Live .... Over-trading
AAL
Reson2Trade: Virus has been bad news for travel, On Scanners, RVOL was 247% at time of trade and 402% yesterday
PB#3, Trending the 9ema on the 5min, a pullback and confirmation of ABCD on the 2min with small entry and increasing upon further confirmation. In at 16.75 Risk was 16.82 and target was 16.50 (3/1). Took 25% at 1R to reduce risk as SPY is getting close to a possible double bottom. Took 25% more at 2R and am very happy that this is not following SPY but it is only Helping it out. 25% more at 3R as this 16.50 was a struggle and there was someone holding the BID. Once it broke out with serious volume I took another 25% at almost 4R. I put a SSR order in for 16.55 to add on with no luck on the fill. I brought the order down to 16.47 to get filled (chased a bit here) and should have left it at .55 . This brought my average down too much so I just got all out with a mostly good trade till the add. This was an expected retrace and consolidation but I let my emotions get the best of me. +2R
This trade was mainly based on it not following SPY like most other stocks and L2
2nd trade, new ABCD on 2min, set an order at 16.42 for 1/2 size with a stop at 16.50 and a target based on L2 at 16.00 (5/1). After two more 5min candles and a new 15min I moved my stop to 16.46 which would be a new 15min high buy .02 and also this will cross the 9 and 20 on the 1min. All out for a -0.2R trade
3rd trade PB#7. at 1324 and 1336, I jumped the gun here on the first one but the second one followed most of the rules of the trade. The MAs on the 2min were not pointing up yet as they did at 1346 which is the same or better entry but all align with the trade rules. I think I will add that L2 must also be turning around for more confirmation of the reversal. This trade stayed very Bearish on the L2. This did end up as a reversal. I will now need to look for better stops in the future
This is pure speculation and trial and error on a new setup and was obviously in SIM
Cons: a little mismanagement at the end of the first AAL trade
Pros: stuck with my plan and read the tape well
PB Trade: AAL
Rs: +1.8
