  1. 2-5-20 AIS 0805, 3.5 hours, 5/10 Pat: In / Out, Add / Partial when it makes sense not before or later ....... Overtrading ...... A+ Setups..... A brief.... Gotta get to work... I realize now that I looked at my P&L that I took way too much size (more than double) on the LK first two and TEVA trades all resulting in losses..... -7R Later on the LK and SNAP trend trades worked out great but I did take the correct size on these..... +3R Cons: Took Trade not in PB..... Took too much size at the open..... Pros: PB Trade: Rs: -4R
  2. 2-4-20 AIS 0805, 4 hours, 5.5/10 PAT: Over-Trading .... A+ Setups ....... TEVA PB#1 ... 5min ORB (extended I know) waited for ABCD on 1min with a 50% and all out on price action change.... I did miss the big move not respecting my stop loss and getting out early on the pull back.... +0.8R TEVA PB#3 ..... ABCD and Trend of the 9ema on the 2min also in harmonious charts..... took 50% (sent the order at the top but my montage was not on the ticker so buy the time I clicked ok it went down to this level) Tried to add where I should have got out looking back on the 1min MA cross..... +1.2R Cons: Jumped the gun on the add PB#3..... got out early on PB#1...... Pros: Got in on my own calls..... PB Trade: TEVA PB#1 Rs: +2R
  3. 2-3-20 AIS 0805, 4 hours, 6/10 PAT: Over-trading ...... Proper entry / exits..... If I am calling it out then take it..... GILD PB#1.1... PM Plan was to break 68 with momentum, it did and I went long but the momentum quickly disappeared and I stopped out... I went wrong when I gave it another try without a good plan and stopped out again -2.0R LK PB#1.... 15min ORB with an ABCD on the 2min, I Jumped the gun here and needed to wait for the correct entry which was a min later than my stop at the top of that candle...... My second trade should have been an add after a partial but it is what it is and eventually Ill get back to waiting on my confirmation... after second entry I took two partials and all out..... tried a third time with small size and added to it as I failed to see the MAs crossing on the 2min.... all out.... -0.6R AIMT PB#3 2min trending the 9ema.. took my first entry on the bounce of the 9ema and the second entry was a mistake as I was in the wrong montage, also the next partial was the same mistake...... I added back in when I realized the mistake about 4min later but I should have thought about it more before I added back in...... all out for a total loss instead of at least a 1R win ... all on mistakes in the montage -0.2R PCG PB#3 A little late to the party when I brought this to my screen but still made a decent entry trending the 9ema and making a nice ABCD on the 2min... I added in riding the 9ema on the 2min.... didnt like the add after a couplke minutes so I took off the add and in doing so it brought my average down 1.5 cents...... then I went a little christmas tree after that and once I was out of the trade all together I realized I was over-trading and trading my P$L so I need to be done for the day.... +2.6R Cons: Jumped the gun.... Over-trading ..... Montage Mistakes... Tried to correct an in trade mistake without thought.... Pros: Took my PM Plan entry ..... Respected my stops..... Stopped trading when I realized what I was doing.... PB Trade: AIMT without the mistakes Rs: -0.2R
  4. I noticed you are trading on MA crosses. Just wondering what your rules are for these trades? I have been using these crosses as confirmation on other trades but have not used them for a trade with other confirmation. I have been spending more time in my Playbook lately and like to document everything I can for a trade and have been noticing a bunch of moves just after (sometimes seconds) MA crosses. Thanks in advance
  5. 1-27 to 1-31-20 What I did bad this week: I jumped the gun not waiting on proper confirmation and on one I completely misread an ABCD then stopped out too early as it was a nice trend Over-trading.... Early Exit for no reason.... Let one run past my stop... I failed to get in on a couple adds and partials with too much hesitation Did not act on a solid PM Plan What I did good this week: Was able to calmly correct a mistake while in a trade Trading with more confidence Feel like I am getting control of some of my Gamble Feel like I found a good small group of 3 traders (including me) that I can relate to and stay calm with while trading throughout the day.... This week has proven the same for me... Changes to be made this upcoming week: Allow all time frame trading in SIM but only with A setups 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 No BBT Voice Chat before 1000 Take a planned break at 1100 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 +7.5R for the week +23R for the month
  6. 1-31-20 AIS 0815, 8 hours, 6/10 PAT: Over-trading ...... Take the adds and partials when they make sense .... I will need to leave today at noon for family stuff.... XOM PB#1 ..... 10min ORB, looked like it was setting up for an ABCD on the 2min but I jumped the gun.... also my DAS froze for a couple seconds and cost me about 6 cents slip..... all out at full stop from entry that I wanted.... I called out the short at 1000 for .96 but did not take it, the other trader in my group took it and was very happy, LOL..... need to trust my call outs as this was not the only one..... -1.5R 1 CL PB#3 ...... pull back to the 20ema on the 5min and bouncing off 73.90 level.... 50% partial, added back in and took it back off after I was not happy with the price action.... added in again and took a 50% and all out at new BE +2R ADNT PB#3 .... entered after a pullback and 25.09 looked like the new support..... took three partials and added in twice .... all out on time constraint ..... I am very upset with myself as I called out PM that if it holds 23.70 (this PM Level along with a strong 23.75 Daily Level was my signal) that it was a good long, there is no reason I did not take this on the break of VWAP as this was my PM plan...... +2.5R .

Second entry was an Actual ABCD which was confirmation of the 5min trend, partials were 50% and first add was for full size, the next two adds brought it back to about 1/2 size and then stopped.... the last trade at 1024 was stopped on what looked like a reversal to VWAP...... and the last one was taken on accident as I thought I was in SIM but in LIVE instead so I got out quickly (a reversal to VWAP which is a PB setup I have not worked on much) +2R GE PB#3 .... Trending the 9 on the 5 with an ABCD on the 2 and above all moving avg. along with no new low on the 5 or 15min.... took way too small share size on the first one and the partial was only 0.2R, I added in twice for a full size, took 50% off and out at BE +1R Cons: Jumped the gun ...... misread two ABCD setups....
