  1. 11-06-19 AIS 0800 with 3 1/2 hours.... feel pretty good... Normal Routine.... PAT: Small share sizes today so a small profit of 25.00 will be a good day..... Absolutely no trading before the first 5min...... Use Kyles Hot Button for 10.00 risk until I prove myself again...... Notes: Gonna lower my stop loss to $10 until I show myself I am in control again..... No Trading before 5min and any ORBs must be held to highest standards of PB#1...... Well I did a little better but I did over traded on CVS... I still have emotions from yesterday and instead of following good trade management I used too tight of stops, or moved my stops tighter when it was going against me even the slightest amount..... If I would have stuck to my stop loss on the second trade this would have definitely been a green day... Tomorrow I will adjust my Kyles Hot Botton to a $5 stop..... Cons: Over traded on CVS ..... did not respect my stops to the tighter side which cost money...... Pros: Only that I did not go above my Max loss for the day..... Favorite Trade: None Notes: Will adjust Hot Button for a $5 stop and only raise it if I can overcome my emotions.... P&L Goal 50.00: -44.54
  2. 11-5-19 AIS 0800..... 5 1/2 hours..... Feel Good ...... Normal morning routine..... PAT: Too many Trades..... Only pre5 if I have a very clear and distinct reason...... Notes: NO FOMO NOVEMBER.... Do not pay much attention to the stocks not in play early on..... Turn Chat Voice off at opening (It gives me a little anxiety).... WOW I just totally screwed up on stupid share size on MYGN and got chopped up.... This is embarrassing as I did not even realize it until I went to my P&L and see I went way beyond out of my comfort zone...... I had already taken several AMD Scalps based on LVL2 which helped out on this large loss .... I just need to hang it up for the day.... Cons: I did not Pay Attention To my Notes and did everything wrong..... Pros: The only thing I did do right was respect my stop loss.... Favorite Trade: None..... Notes: No charts because If I put them up I could not even tell you what I was doing..... Maybe too much confidence from the day before on the AMD trade.... P&L Goal 50.00: -207.50 I am gonna create a small note book by my desk to read when a trade goes bad on me...... After a bad trade that puts me in an emotional state I will force myself to read it.... - No Revenge Trading - - No FOMO - - If at Max Loss turn off DAS and set this book in front of screen - - Remember how crappy it feels when you break your basic rules - - It ruins your Day / Night and sets a bad tone for the next day -
  3. 11-4-19 AIS 0800 with 4 1/2..... feel just OK...... Normal morning routine.... PAT: Share Size..... Trade Management..... No FOMO November..... Notes: Do not pay much attention to the stocks not in play early on...... I am going to try to turn off the Chat once I am in a trade or getting ready to trade..... AMD PB#1...... setups were long biased and I took full size on both...... I probably should not have even taken these two trades..... first one I should have partialed out 50% at 1R but I did not and the second one was into too much resistance.... Looks like lots of investors are taking profit at close to ATH....... UAA PB#1....... B+...... Catalyst and price action was in my favor for the short but I got a horrible fill on the SSR and action went against me right away and hit my hard stop..... MU PB#1...... A ....... 30 min ORB with ABCD on the 2min..... Didnt like the 5min candles and the LVL2 was not really showing any signs one way or the other.... BIDU AMD PB#3...... A..... LVL2 trades I did a lot of buying at the bounce of 9ema on the 2min and taking partials along with add ons....... I unfortunatlly do not have much time to log here but this took me from almost max loss to slight green.... Cons: Took way too many trades..... Took pre 5min trades..... Pros: for the most part I took the share sizes that I wanted.... I did respect my stops.... Favorite Trade: AMD PB#3 Notes: This AMD trade I called out on the Chat and very proud that Thor took the advice of moving the stop from .90 to .89 ..... and waiting till .98 to start partialing.... P&L Goal 50.00: +.16.47
  4. 11-1-19 AIS 0810 with over 7 hours... Feel Good but have a doctors Apt and need to leave at about 1000..... Normal morning routines PAT: Will keep size lower for today from the blowup on Wed....... Do not hesitate on my A setups..... Notes: Trust my setups earlier when I see Them CRC Reason2Trade Positive Q3 results with a large Short Float of 36%.... I was biased on how this would act when the shorts get squeezed and I feel this can last most of the day.... I was looking for it to hold 6.95 which it never looked back at.... PB#1.1 ..... Opening with VWAP as support on small time frames.... Took small sizes...... first one stopped me out as it lost the low a few seconds before..... second was a 1min ORB getting back above VWAP with a very tight stop at below VWAP..... took profits and added in on the pullback to VWAP... again took prifits and added in at a nice ABCD pattern took a profit and stopped out at BE and getting below the 9ema on the 1min at 0941..... switched to the 2min now..... another nice 2min ABCD and went long and added in on another ABCD.... took profit at new HOD and have now set a hard stop for BE as I need to get to the doctors office..... I feel like I could have waited for the 1min ORB but was scared to miss the entry and kept my stop very tight on the first one..... as of now.... +54.58 Cons: None Today Pros: Stuck hard to my stop loss on the first trade.... Feel good about reading the price action and LVL2... Favorite Trade: CRC Notes: Feel good about my trade management and entries.... P&L Goal 50.00: Will come back for an update on this trade, but as this makes my daily goal I will not trade no more today... Did get stopped out +54.58
  5. 10-31-19 Happy Halloween !!! AIS 0800 with about 4 hours but I feel pretty good..... Normal Morning Routine PAT: Share Size (I will reduce size for the next two days so my 50.00 goal may be a little hard to reach).... Setup Grade ..... Notes: Still need to work on share size a little..... Still taking sub-par trades..... Do not pay much attention to the stocks not in play early on...... I am going to try to turn off the Chat once I am in a trade or getting ready to trade..... FCAU PB#3....... very small size..... B+ setups..... Tried twice with a tight stop and low risk... stopped out on both.... took these Trend trades based on the 5min ABCD and trending the 9ema..... -6.00 KHC first trade PB#1..... B+ setup..... very small size.... A little extended on the 5min ORB.... Took a scalp.... second trade PB#3..... A setup.... very small size..... based on the LVL2 mainly as it was a bit extended from the 9ema on the 2min, but it did have a nice ABCD on the 1 and 2min..... I did something new and used a tier system where I get in and add to it in sections or pull backs but also taking some off at profit levels based on the LVL2.... These were all partials and adds until the end.... +38.51 Also a couple small trades on AMD and pretty much just paid CMEG..... +0.94 Cons: Should have entered when I seen my patterns .... hesitation from yesterdays blowup Pros: Lowered my size to make sure I was not gonna revenge trade..... and I am glad to say I did not.... Favorite Trade: KHC PB#3 based on LVL2 Notes:P&L Goal 50.00: +33.45
  6. 10-30-19 AIS 0805, 4 hours , groggy..... Normal morning routine.... PAT: A+ Trades...... Manage my own trades.... Notes: Still need to work on share size a little..... Still taking sub-par trades..... Do not pay much attention to the stocks not in play early on...... CROX PB#1..... A setups..... first the 5min ORB with ABCD, good entry but I mismanaged it by not taking profit and stopped at BE..... second was the same but 15min ORB, my entry was overextended and I was chasing... I also took too much size on this one and let my stop go below my planned level..... This trade completely threw my psychology off and away I went to the Dark Side..... -62.00 AMD PB#2.... B setup at best but I was already engulfed by the Dark Side....... took too small of size... do not like that I traded into all this resistance, of course I was looking for VWAP and I was trading more on the LVL2 than anything else....... Second trade was PB#2 again with proper share size but was not what I would usually trade...... +75.57 CROX.... ??? ....... Still on the bottom of the lake and letting this gator eat me up....... Psychology getting the best of me.... This chart is from all CROX trades..... none that I should have been in..... -107.28 BYND PB#3 ..... B setup..... 5min Trending the 9ema and making an ABCD, all larger time frames are in an uptrend..... LVL2 had large ASK orders waiting at reasonable levels...... My reson for entry was terrible and the add on was even worse as I was still overwhelmed by the Dark Side and took way too large of share size (more like a full size for my account size)....... Once I was in it after the add on and realizing how bad this could be I set a hard stop and did some other stuff around here for 10min to clear my head.... After coming back from a short break and a little better clear head I feel like I did manage the trade to the best of my ability..... I set goals and abided by them, also After each partial I set a hard stop so I would not act out again..... I do hope this will not happen again to me for a very long time....... +255.50 Cons: Humm.... read above as there is too much to list Pros: None..... Favorite Trade: None,,,, Notes: The last time I did this I was very tired from the night before so I need to either not trade or just come to the Desk later..... P&L Goal 50.00: +161.79 !!!!! I did nothing good today and I ONLY came out ahead out of shear luck and this could have easily been a -300.00 Day !!!!!!
  7. 10-29-19 AIS 0800, got a good 5.5 hours, Feel pretty good.... normal morning routine.... PAT: Taking sub-par Trades.... Spread...... Notes: Watch out for sub-par Trades!!!... Stay with full size for A and A+ and half size for B+ ...... MU PB#1 2 trades..... B+ setups... messed up on first one and took full size so the small win on the second did not help much from the larger loss.... After further review I do not believe these were B+ setups and I was taking these on a little FOMO...... Also by watching this for a trade I missed a huge move on GRUB..... -13.00 XNET PB#2..... B+ setup..... XNET is a third day play and is only acting on general Block-chain news. I feel like it is way overextended and needs to do a pull back to a reasonable level for its price and this is why I am short biased on this.... Felt like this was a pullback to VWAP for another leg down to LOD..... I did try to enter with 1/2 size here but because of the SSR I am in for a little more..... Also there are very large BIDs at reasonable prices that can bring the price to them.... This can also hopefully be the beginning of a trend trade.... Took of 50% at my target set a hard stop for BE, the L2 is starting to balance out and I will monitor closely..... LVL2 has now flipped to the long side and price action completely flipped and this was my Reason2Exit..... +15.50 GRUB PB#3..... A setup.... 1/2 size because of how extended it is.... I missed the entry at 1002 but was able to grab it here at the 9ema on the 2min, in a clear downtrend and harmonious.... Covered only 25% at 6/1 as the LVL2 is still in favor of a downtrend.... Moved a hard stop to BE...... I am a bit disappointed in myself here as I let the Chat talk me into canceling my order and covering as speculation was a reversal..... I did reenter but of course at a lower price.... Took partials at 4/1, and 10/1.... It went down to about 15/1 but I had to go so I set a hard stop for 5/1....... I did get back before the hard stop hit and was able to monitor it again.... I seen the L2 action changing towards the ASKs and price action also was bullish and this was my Reason2Exit so I got out at 10/1...... +98.50 AMD.... Mistake...... in on accident (finger spazed to buy 100 shares) and out..... +2.00 Cons: Was not thrilled about the MU trades.... I let Chat talk me into managing my trade poorly (remember Chat does not know your entry or style)... Pros: I feel good about my trade management (except for the Chat part) as I feel like getting back into the LVL2 and Tape is something I was drifting away from recently..... Not letting my excitement get me to trade again (controlling my emotions) Favorite Trade: XNET PB#2 / GRUB PB#3 Notes: Still need to work on share size a little..... Still taking sub-par trades..... P&L Goal 50.00: +103.00
  8. 10-28-19 AIS 0755 feel pretty good, Normal morning routine PAT: A and A+ Trades for full size and B+ for half size..... Trust myself.... Spreads..... Notes: No more sub-par trades!!!..... When I feel strong about a position, take it...... T PB#1.... A setup (a little early on ABCD for A+)...... full size.... 5min ORB with ABCD on 1min, bouncing off the 9ema on 2min, breaking through a daily level with lots of pressure on the ASKs and Tape going in the right direction.... First partial was 50% then the next two were 25%.... I added in for double what I had moving my stop to BE and got stopped out (in hindsight I should not add that much, maybe 50% add would be good here and this would keep my average down) +28.53 PB#3..... B+ setup..... 1/2 size.... After my stop out it came back to test the 9 and 20ema on 2min and the 9ema on the 5min.... looking for HOD.... This has gone to an ascending chop.... 38.70 has been a pivotal point so I took 50% off above that level and moved a hard stop to BE... will check back periodically and work on other business..... I returned to getting Stopped at BE, if I was here I could have taken another 25% at .80..... +6.50 AMD PB#3..... B+ setup (too far from 9ema on 2min and extended)...... 1/2 size...... took 50% off at 2/1 and 25% more at 3/1 and out at BE..... +12.47 Cons: not real happy with the PB#3 trade on T, overall entry was more speculative than what the charts were telling me.... Pros: Took appropriate share sizes... Respected my stop..... Favorite Trade: T PB#1 Notes: Watch out for sub-par Trades!!!... Stay with full size for A and A+ and half size for B+ ...... P&L Goal 50.00: +47.50
  9. 10-25-19 AIS 0830, a little late and a little groggy but much better now...... normal morning routine... PAT: Share Size..... A+ and A setups only...... No hesitation on A+ setups.... Notes: Pay more attention to Share size and Grade of Trade...... INTC News today: Best returns in the industry...... Better earnings and results .... and more overall good news.... PB#1..... A+ setup.....This 5min ORB with confirmation of the ABCD on the 1min is as good as it gets.... I had to literally sit on my hands in the first 5min as this is one of my rules for now..... I entered the first trade and stopped out on too tight of a stop... I reentered as soon as I seen the additional info from the Tape and L2.... I took partials on the way up and left a little for the trend.... There were a few times I wanted to add but all I can think is that it is too extended, the first was at 1110 for 55.90.... This in total was about a 5/1 trade but with the first stop dragging it down the profit wasn't quite there... there is a green candle at my exit, this is from the first time using my phone for a trade and I accidentally went short in SIM and then covered as soon as I seen it (-0.33 in SIM LOL) +55.38 VFC PB#3.... B setup...... took small share size as I thought it was maybe sub-par at the time (should not have taken this and gave away 10 bucks) ....... mistake #1, put my stop at bottom of candle.... #2 the spread on this was terrible, it was .11 and I thought I seen .01....... either way just glad I got out of it as I should not even be in it.... -9.60 Cons: Took a sub-par trade with horrible spread.... Feel like I should have added on INTC when I wanted...... Leaving money on the table..... Pros: Found a nice PB#1 and managed it pretty good Favorite Trade: INTC Notes: No more sub-par trades..... When I feel strong about a position, take it...... P&L Goal 50.00: +45.78
  10. 10-24-19 AIS 0800 with 4 hoiurs.... SS and a coffee... feel a little groggy.... PAT: No Sub par trades..... Keep share size Notes: DO NOT TAKE SUB PAR TRADES..... Keep my stop / R at 10.00 and 20.00.... AMAT PB#1..... B+ setup (thought of it as a A)..... this was a beautiful 5min ORB but lacked the confirmation of an ABCD... The LVL2 and the Tape was very bullish.... Took 50% partials two times at 1R due to the change in the price action on L2 and Tape...... then all out at BE..... +18.50 AZN PB#1...... A setup... mostly due to the Tape and LVL2 with a 30min ORB, trend of the 9ema on the 5min and an ABCD on the 1min... didnt make an A+ because the ABCD was not as clear..... My first mistake was I took it for a 10.00 R instead of the 20.00 that I thought I hit...... took 25% off at 1R and set an order for target that got filled.... My second mistake was not getting back in around .96 on the consolidation.... I was sure that it will go past .10 with force but I chickened out.... If it comes back down to test the 9ema on the 2min I may take another pos...... 2nd... PB#3.... A setup.... Trending the 9 ema on the 5min, forming an ABCD on the 2min (in on C and the bounce off the 9ema)..... very tight stop below last candle.... I did this because I seem to get reversed on this time of day.... I took 25% at a little over 2R and I have set a hard stop for BE so I can Journal... It hit my BE...... I maybe should have kept my stop at original position (would have stopped out anyway) but only time will tell, this is my problem part of the day so I am happy with the small win here... +30.59 1130 Will now go for a bit and work on other business ..... back in a bit.... MSFT PB#3.... A setup... trending the 9 and 20ema on the 5min, ABCD on the 2min and a nice clear direction.... Love the entry with small share size... was looking to add on after the partial but I got called away from the desk and sold (I should have set a stop order but needed to go NOW).... +13.00 Cons: Messed up on Share size and Grade of Trade on AMAT a bit..... I hesitated on the second trade of AZN and missed a better entry.... Pros: Controlled my FOMO Favorite Trade: AZN Notes: Pay more attention to Share size and Grade of Trade...... P&L Goal 50.00: +62.09
  11. 10-23-19 0800 AIS... SSS and a Coffee.... Exercise and meditation.... PAT: Share Size..... Manage Trade.... Notes: Increase Full Size to 2/5 my normal SIM for A and A+ setups..... I will get some other work done around 1030 to 1200 as this seems to be my worst part of the day AMD PB#1.....A setup..... took full size.... first in for 5min ORB with a mini ABCD on 1min... took 50% off at 1R added back in on a 10min ORB with a clear ABCD on 1 and 2min... took 25% each at 1R and 2R from new Avg. Cost and all out at 1R and large orders on the BID along with the tape falling off and this is my Reason2Exit...... +32.70 MU PB#3........ A setup.... Extended is the Reason it was not an A+....... took a little more than full share size (feeling very positive)..... Several bounces off the 9ema on the 2min with a min ABCD.... in a clear uptrend after the W double bottom on the 5min..... R/R was a little under 2/1 .... Managed the trade kinda bad, I set a range order for my R/R full the full amount but I should have just sent an order for 50% then managed it from there..... Or this may teach me something..... +72.00 second trade PB#3..... This is at best a B setup and I should not have gotten in it....... and I took full size ....... Took 3/4 off to reduce my risk down to 1/4 size..... took 1/3 off at 2R..... and moved stop to BE ...... Got stopped out.... +7.69 Took a 3 trades that after I got in them I realized I was in a B setup or worse and got stopped out of them.... I need to Remember I am not in SIM and I do not want to practice right now.... Only PB setups and only A or better.... -38.12 Cons: Taking sub par trades...... Pros: Found my patterns and style of trades I like Favorite Trade: AMD PB#1 5 and 10min ORB Notes: DO NOT TAKE SUB PAR TRADES..... Keep my stop / R at 20.00.... P&L: +74.27
  12. 10-22-19 AIS 0815..... feel ok with 4 hours sleep..... SSS, Coffee.... PAT: SIM / Live Montage.... Patience..... Notes: Took another Trade on YNDX yesterday afternoon and ended up a decent winner bringing my loss significantly down..... I think I will not SIM trade at all today as to keep from making montage mistakes..... BMY PB#1...... A setup..... took 1/2 size due to it being an ORB (was only 28 shares due to large stop and 1/2 size of an already drastically lowered R value from going live)..... 5min ORB with a beautiful ABCD on 1min........ Held through my Target of 57.00 which may be a mistake (I feel here that the very low risk may be too low as I probably would have took 1/2 off at 57.00 and moved my stop to BE for a trend), I am hopping this turns into a trend trade..... Its looking like its gonna stop me out for a -10.00 loss instead of a 14.00 profit.... a swing of 24.00 on a 10.00 stop...... hard stopped.... My total risk was 10.00 on this and I feel like it may be too little as I feel like I was gambling on the Trend instead of locking in my profit at my Target and letting 1/2 run for a possible Trend.... -9.80 Took a second trade for a reversal and totally against my Rules which is only out of my playbook (this is not in my playbook) stopped out.... -14.30 And yet another Trade PB#3....A setup.... full size.... ended up getting stopped out above the 9ema and 200ma on the 2min.... this is the end of my day as this is 1% off my account.... -16.00 May be a bit of over trading here but I did take BMY again for a PB#3 trend... took full share size (what I was used to in SIM) and used my normal partials +32.77 HOG PB#3.... B+ setup.... took 1/2 size due to grade of trade..... stopped out at hard stop..... -11.28 DUST PB#3...... A setup... a little extended from the 2min for an A+...... Thought I took full size but I ended up with just a bit above 1/2....... took 1/2 off at 1 R...... and stopped out at BE.... +5.00 Cons: Small size had me gambling on BMY..... struggling with proper size..... Pros: Did have a nice entry on BMY but mismanaged it (Gambled).... Favorite Trade: BMY PB#1 (mismanaged but a good entry and setup) Notes: A and A+ setups use 20.00 stop loss..... Think I will take it easy between 1030 and 1200 as this has been my worst trading time.... -13.61
  13. 10-21-19 At desk at 7:55, feel ok..... Normal morning and premarket routine.... PAT: FOMO ..... Scaled down Live Trade Size...... Notes: First Day with a potential Live Trade be very aware as to grade of setups..... All of the trades thus far should have been in SIM but............ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This the break of SIM and Live account Trades........ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did not find anything I was willing to trade in Live account but I did end up in Live positions three different time with the montage switching back and forth on me..... I now realize that the montage automatically sets to my Live account every time I choose a new stock..... Live and Learn ...... Cost me ..... -60.02 YNDX Finally found a trade I thought I liked but once I got in it, it was hitting the 9ema on the 30min over and over so I just got out at what I thought was BE.... my stop was at 9.24 for a .06 risk and I thought I was at 9.42 for reward..... After analysis I found this serious resistance on the 30min.... -10.45 Cons: I completely messed up my SIM / Live account in the trades Pros: I did use smaller share size and followed my stop when I did not have a hard stop..... Favorite Trade: none Notes: Remember Montage is on Live account by default..... -70.47
  14. 10-18-19 Good night sleep, feel pretty good.... at desk at 0800...... normal routine... PAT: Share Size..... Partial outs.... Notes: Take the setups when they present themselves and stop second guessing yourself..... Use instinct along with L2 and Tape when partialing or getting all out.... Took a bunch of SIM of SIM trades... early morning is just not working for me.... mostly ORBs based on candle action, just may be a little much for me right now but Ill keep trying in SIM.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KO All PB#3... first.... B setup at best but told myself that I was in this Live..... This was all FOMO and I should not have even tried this in SIM... I did take small size as I knew I was Chasing..... Took it as a trend on the 5min (way too extended from 9ema) but did have a nice ABCD going on the 2min.... stopped out at C..... -16.00 second.... A on first entry and A+ on second entry...... Im a little disappointed as I did not take full size here, and only in for 3/4..... This was the second and third test of the 9ema on the 2min.... L2 and the Tape was all in favor of an uptrend... Took first partial at HOD... then more at a marked daily level and several more between that level and HOPM, then all out on L2 and Tape along with new 15min low.... +85.11 third... A setup... A bit extended for an A+..... took 3/4 size..... I felt I let my emotions get to me on the previous trade and I should no have let it stop me so I may have forced this a bit.... took small partials and lost focus to SNAP and got all out below BE... Should have been a +25.00 if I set a hard stop..... +4.58 SNAP PB#3.... A+ setup.... I did take full share size here.... Tested the 9ema on the 2min several times Was in a clear downtrend in harmonious charts.... No new highs on 5min or above..... Took profits at 1/1 , 1.5/1 , 2/1 , several at around 3/1 and still in for small size with a stop profit of 2/1 +74.99 Cons: Took a trade with a bit of FOMO, and yes I did a fake montage switch to Live...... Pros: I did respect my stop loss.... Favorite Trade: SNAP Notes: Will be Live on Monday so I will scale down on my share size for a bit.... R = 50.00: +148.68
  15. This is just what I have learned for myself, so take this with a grain of salt as I am new.... I have found it very difficult to trade off the 1min, I will only use it for a stop and confirmation of 5 or 10min ORBs in the first ten min at max then I take it off my screen and the lowest I use then is the 2min and again usually use for identifying confirmation of setups like trend trades or longer time frame ORBs Looking at NTRA 5min It was still making new 5min lower highs.... I know my trading still is full of holes but this is something @WilliamH has taught me in his trade reviews of my own and others and has greatly improved my trading.....
  16. 10-17-19 At desk at 9:45.... very groggy.... will only SIM for the first part.... Yesterday The only trade I would have traded was APHA which I thought I booked a $10 loss but I guess the order was for a portion of the shares and today I ended up getting all out on it (an accidental swing trade) I have a lot going on today so I may end with this only trade that made sense to me.... I would have taken this LIVE as I did start with small size and added in on confirmation to 3/4 size NUGT... PB#2.....A setup.... small to start and 3/4 size after add.... I watched SPY start to roll over and had my eye on NUGT it broke VWAP with force and the tape and L2 agreed .... It was above YH and PMH.... above all moving averages on time frames from 2min to 60min .... Took 25% partials starting at the 2/1 level which was also previous resistance intraday..... took more at YYH which is also a dollar amount... then more at what I thought was the top of the move based on the L2 and tape (which was correct) left a small amount to get all out at the dollar..... +114.31 I will have a Live account by Monday (maybe tomorrow) ....... Have some work to do tonight....
  17. 10-16-19 changing this part up a bit, I know Mon. thru Thur. I get about 4 hours sleep and all my morning routines, so I will keep this shorter from now on unless something changes.... At the desk at 0810.... feeling a little tired.... PAT: Share Size..... Partials on instinct.... Notes: I feel like I should have partialed a bit more aggressively locking in profits..... I was trying to be more aggressive with a longer profit but should have used my targets as an all out or at least took 80 or 90%.... Took a couple early B setups with full share size..... 2 losers and 1 Win on BAC (the 5min ORB was possibly a better setup looking back but at the time I did not feel good about it) and a loser on BBBY.... -91.71 CAH PB#3,,,, B setup... took too large of share size again.... from turbo breakup scanner .... jumping on lawsuit settlement... running pretty flat.... shouldnt even be trying this here.... just gonna get out and look at it again.... -122.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- APHA PB#3... A+ setup.... 3/4 size (looked at it as an A setup at the time).... trending the 9ema on the 2min, harmonious, under all MAs on all time frames with a reverse ABCD on the 2min.... my first partial should be at 2/1 at .84, missed it by .02 and has since been very choppy bumping on 5.00 may get stopped out,,, just getting alll out here and calling it a day... I am way over tired and can not concentrate on anything..... Nap Time.... -10.00 Cons: Too big of share size on my SIM of SIM trades.... Pros: Do like the APHA setup but maybe should have taken a partial when it got close to my first target.... Favorite Trade: Notes: R = 50.00:
  18. 10-15-19 Up at 7:40 with 4 hours sleep.... SSS and a coffee..... PAT: Share Size.... Notes: A+ setups take at full share size with Kyles hot keys..... A setups about 3/4.... B+ at 1/2 and all others should be in a SIM...... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PINS PB#1.1 ... A setup... took about 3/4 size..... 1min ORB on a pullback and momentum to break the PML ..... Took 50% off at at 2.5/1 and out at BE.... +22.50 PINS PB#3... A setup.... took 3/4 size in three steps keeping my risk down..... my original target was LOD so I took 50% off there and then I had my sites set for 24.00, I hit my hard stop of BE.... +82.00 APHA PB#3...

Pros: Found my setups and feel like my Size compared to entries were good..... Favorite Trade: PINS PB#3 Notes: I feel like I should have partialed a bit more aggressively locking in profits..... I was trying to be more aggressive with a longer profit but should have used my targets as an all out or at least took 80 or 90%.... R = 50.00: +151.51 / 151.51
  19. 10-14-19 Up at 0740 with a little over 4 hours sleep. Fell ok..... SSS and a coffee.... read a bit in the Playbook.... PAT: Share Size Notes: Pre 5min setups must be A+ for "Live" trade..... Any PB#1 ORB setups must be A or A+ for a "Live" trade..... Keep working on proper trade management.... Will cut out for a bit to go get my Live account ready to go..... SES Took a couple scalps on this Low Float just trying things out.... I missed one good move that I wanted to trade so I went ahead and took these for practice in SIM of SIM.... one win and one loss +26.75 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAST PB#1.1 (A+ setup) ... 2nd day play Strong stock that gaped down looking for a long position.... Took a small share size on purpose as these are still a little foreign to me.... The 1minORB broke VWAP and with nice ASKs on LVL2 and Tape prices going up, decided to add here then some quick scalp partials and all out at BE.... +21.50 FAST PB#1 (A setup) the 5min ORB candle was a bit extended for me keeping this from an A+ setup, confirmation on the 1min ABCD.....I kept the share size a little bit small even after the add ons as I did not feel this was an A+ setup..... I added in at a very bad spot and got filled even worse... I do like the second add... I partialed out a bit too much so I added in the amount I did not want partialed ..... all out on a new 5min low.... +29.00 Trades 3 and 4 were PB#3 which I would grade both at B+ or A..... I took full share size on these which in hind site maybe I should have stayed small here also... One I got stopped out on and the other I partialed and all out on BE.... -32.40 AMD PB#3 (A+ setup).... trending the 9ema on the 2 and 5min breaking the 200ma on the 5 and 15min, looking for the 50ma on the Daily.... I partilaed on the way up leaving myself with a little just incase it breaks out over the 50ma on the Daily.... stopped out on three consecutive 5min lows and below the 9ema on the 5min.... +86.70 Cons: Just work on Share size a bit more Pros: Found good setups in this choppy market today.... Stuck to my rules and felt good ..... Favorite Trade: AMD PB#3 Notes: Work more on share size R = 50.00: +131.55 / +104.80
  20. 10-11-19 Woke at 0740 with 7 hours of sleep and feeling pretty good...... SSS and a coffee.... A little meditation and away we go.... PAT: fine tune share size..... Notes: No pre 5min trades and all PB#1s will be Sim of SIM for at least the rest of the week... FAST PB#1 (A+ setup), this should have been in live with all the confirmation.... Made a beautiful 5min ORB with confirmation ABCD on 1min and 2min, also the price action, LVL2 and Tape were all positive confirmation.... scaled in to it to 4/5 position and took a 50% partial then out At BE as price action was changing... +48.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAST PB#3 (A+ setup)... Trending the 9ema... the 9ema crossed the VWAP.... the previous down trend did not break VWAP..... ABCD on the 2min...... I added on the close of my entry hammer candle, I did take a little smaller share size one the first one and added into about 3/4 share size (probably a little too cautious here)... took small partials on the way up at key points and then all out on new 5min low..... +124.51 Cons: None today..... Yahoo.... Pros: Found and took A or better setups.... Favorite Trade: FAST both trades.... Notes: Just need to work on share size a bit.... Calling it a day, have family coming in..... R = 50.00: +172.51 / +124.51
  21. Dang, sorry about the outages..... hope all gets better for you soon...
  22. 10-10-19 Woke at 0740 with 4 hours sleep and feel pretty good.... SSS, a coffee and muffin...... Read in The Playbook....and a nice quick meditation.... PAT: If I take a SIM of SIM I still need to Manage it properly and not stop out early..... Share size...... Take better setups, A or better..... Notes: No pre 5min trades and all PB#1s will be Sim of SIM for at least the rest of the week... BBBY PB#1.1 .... 2min ORB .... LVL2 ASKs stacking and Tape was printing strong.... +49.00 PB#1 .... 5min ORB .... Same LVL2 and Tape ...... This one I feel great about and also feel like it was an A setup.... 5min ORB with ABCD on 1min and Clear price action..... There was the news that the star CEO of Target went to BBBY and the super large SF of 55% that lead me to the long biased position on BBY ..... +57.25 A quick mistake on the short and covered quickly for BE +106.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BBBY PB#3 (A setup), didnt quite get back to the 9ema on the 2min...... took a 25% partial .... added on the next bounce off 9ema..... stopped out just below BE..... the next was an accidental short and covered quick for BE.... then long on the bounce off the 50ma on the 5min and jumped the gun on the partail.... added on at break of VWAP still trending..... and stopped out below VWAP ....... -19.50 DAL PB#3 (A setup) again a bit above the 9ema on the 5min holding it back from an A+...... the 9 and 20ema had just crossed the 50ma on the 5min about 20min prior to entry.... I found this after I came back from a break..... I entered with 3/5 share size and added to full share size once price action confirmed it (this was a bit late and slow on the triggerand after review this should have never been an add here )..... once into this time of day I mostly use the 5, 15 and 30min charts..... the stop I had was a solid break of the 20ema on the 5min.... when I added at a bad level it did extend my stop loss to over 1.5R, I did get lucky as it never fell below -0.5R... at about 1430 I had to go out for awhile so I sold all but 96 shares (I really did not want to leave this) and left myself a wide range order figuring I would be back before market close.... I got back about 2 min before market close and closed my position within the last two seconds of market.... +201.75 Cons: I took too much size on DAL Pros: Found A setups...... respected my stop loss...... switched my charts so that the 1 min was no longer there then about noon I took off the 2min chart Favorite Trade: BBBY second trade PB#1 and third trade PB#3 Notes: Found a good setup on BBBY that I still after review feel very good about even though it turned into a small loss... And took too much size on DAL..... R = 50.00: +288.50 / +182.25
  23. 10-9-19 Woke at 0740 with 4 hours sleep. Feel good..... SSS and a coffee..... Read a bit in The Playbook .... PAT: Share Size ...... A or better setups only..... NOTES: I will go back to no trading in the first 5min........ All PB#1 (ORB with confirmation of ABCD on 1 or 2min) will be SIM of SIM untill I feel better about this setup again....... Tried three trades, PB#1 with no luck..... QGEN I got a bad entry on first 5minORB and then stopped myself early on the 15min ORB which I realize now was setting up a nice PB#3...... and an MU which almost went to my target but went down and price action changed so I got out with a 1 cent loss.... -64.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QGEN this is a 2nd day play with a 16x RVOL premarket and an 8X when I took it.... it had a huge gap down from Q results and investigations in possible security violations..... This was on SSR so I was looking for investors to buy for value on the large gap down..... PB#3 (A setup), + would have been if I recognized it when I stopped early in the 15min ORB...... I went in with 4/5 share size and added in to full share size... The only resistance in the near future was the 200ma on the 5min and this was far enough away that the RR was 2.5/1 ...... Took two partials at 25% each then all others were 10% and all out on a new 15min low and my Reason2Exit ...... When I got back from running around I found another entry that I feel was an A+ setup and took full size again. I did partial for $60 once and set a hard stop up because I was have to manage another business also and got stopped at BE...... +206.40 Cons: Missed the first opportunity on QGEN and stopped out too soon..... the first one on QGEN I also stopped out early... I believe both of these are just fear and lack of trust in my trade.... Pros: Found a good setup in QGEN even after I made the early stop....... I feel good the way I managed QGEN Favorite Trade: QGEN Notes: I like the share sizes I took and will continue with no pre 5min trades and all PB#1s will be Sim of SIM for at least the rest of the week... R = 50.00: +117.90 / +206.40
  24. 10-8-19 Woke at 0740 with 4.5 hours sleep, feel pretty good...... SSS and a coffee...... PAT: Share size in early market....... Hot Buttons...... Notes: on my PB#3 setups take a moment to analyze the trade before entry..... Took a few trades in SIM of SIM in pre 5min and 5min ORBs... took way too much share size, (dont even know what I was thinking) felt completely out of control maybe due to knowing this is not what I would trade in Live and taking stupid risk.... I do need to trade these as if I was in a Live account even when I am in SIM otherwise if I get a setup to start working I fear I will continue to trade too much.... I think I will just stop trading the first 5min again as I did in the past and only trade A or better setups from now on..... Ill post the stupid P&L here just so I will remember this tomorrow.... These were all in the first 15min.... -1153.66 this would be -23+ Rs LOL first and last time for this..... I had to leave for a bit dealing with another business and unreasonable customers....... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will make this my break of SIM and Live account for my information.... but as I have been doing I will still use my P&L for all trades since I do not have a way to separate them yet....... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BRX Finally found a trade today that makes sense to me.... got this from the Turbo Breakup scanner..... cross referenced it to News..... Brixmor Property Group's Commitment To ESG Excellence Recognized By Multiple Organizations..... This along with a new 52 week Hi I felt this is a stock in play.... RVOL is also 2.36 PB#3 (A+ setup) could have got a better entry a couple minutes earlier but one can never tell and I feel like this was a safe entry waiting on confirmation.... This had all the right ingreidents, 2min trending the 9ema, no new 5 - 15 - or 30min low, an ABCD on the 2min.... My first entry was a full size for my stop and my RR was 2.5/1..... the addition about 15min later was only a few shares as my Buying power was all used up..... I took a few 25% partials and a couple 10%.... my add on was only 25 (which is what the last partial was) shares as it seems every time I do add on to a trend it does a reversal soon after..... The time is 1314 and am holding onto the 253 shares I have left. I did hold onto it on the bounce of the 20ema as the new 5min lows never breached the 9ema.... I will be looking at the 5min chart for the 9ema and the 15 and 30min for new lows from this point on.... at 1318. 1326, 1330 I took 10% each time.... I am also noticing that the 5min Volume has been more on the Bull Candles...... I have now switched my charts to only have 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 and Day Charts and took off the 2min to keep myself from hitting the Sell Position Button too early.... 1345 and 1350 candles were tough to hold onto, when I look back on the 2min I probably would have exited but I believe by taking the 2min off my charts it will make me a better trader.... My Reason2Exit was the break of the 9ema on the 5min and down to the 20ema, along with the Powell speach.... Cons: Was just stupid in SIM of SIM..... Pros: I did wait till I found an A+ setup before taking a trade Favorite Trade: BRX Notes: Gotta Go no time before work... R = 50.00: Blow up in Sim / +126.38 on my only true setup
