    2022-4-13 Hello All ! Just wanted to check in since I have not used this format for a while... I have been using TraderVue now for logging all of my trades... My full time job only allows me to trade the first 30 minutes of the open. With that I can only trade two to three days a week. I am still trading in Sim. Having some good days and some good trades, but overall net in the red... I am putting in more days and studying more...ancy to to live.... Looking for a Trading Buddy...please reach out if you would like to work together... -Tom N Today -0.3 R Trade of the Day: +1.55 R $AAL Support & Resistance I had a a level marked from the pre-market...stock broke and I went long...partialed out when it stalled... Portion stopped out at break-even. +1.55 R

    2020-12-24 <SIM> TRADE 1 $MARA 1MIN ORB +1.2 R Went long on $MARA. Partial were 50/50/50/50/100 TRADE 2 $AAPL ABCD +0.1R $AAPL came back to VWAP for a bounce. I went long based on the 1 Min & 2 Min. Partialed 25% then stopped at break even. A little sick to my stomach because I could have either A. Not partialed/ Out at break even...or B. Could have made a re-entry based on the 5 Min for an ABCD and had a great trade. Thoughts ? AFTERTHOUGHTS Green Day. Another successful day with 1 Min ORB Happy to trade for more than just the first 15-30 minutes. Thinking to go live with just the 1Min ORB Strategy. Four more days until being able to trade again. Homework: 5 Min Orb, ABCD, Additional Webinar. Trade in Replay. Merry Christmas to All !

    2020-12-23 <SIM> Choppy morning, sailors be warned... Passed on the One Min ORBs, probably a good sign... Only three stocks on the watchlist...another good sign... TRADE 1 $PLUG 5MIN ORB -1R Jumped in long for a 5 Min ORB...should have looked better at the 1 and 2 minute charts...close to the VWAP but not confirmations, in fact probably would talk you out of the trade... -1R. Stopped out in 21 seconds. TRADE 2 $PLTR 5 MIN ORB +1.15R Went short for 5 Min BO. Partialed with 25/25/50/50/100. Still questioning my partial strategy or lack there of... Will take the green trade ! AFTERTHOUGHTS +0.1R Green/BE day... No overtrading... Good watchlist... Need a day to get to goal of 2.0R Sure would like to trade more than 20 minutes

    2020-12-21 <SIM> TRADE 1 $NIO 1MIN ORB -0.3R Stock broke through several levels...went long. Action died so I got out. TRADE 2 $NKE 1MIN ORB +0.84R Went long on a 1 MIN ORB. Good patience. Partials at levels. Partialed 50/50/50. Only 0.84R for the trade, but green trade green day. AFTERTHOUGHTS Great Job with watchlist. Nice call with $NKE, missed by BBT. Good application of strategy. GREEN DAY ! Still need to think about partial strategy, maybe first one should be 25% ?

    2020-12-15 <SIM> Green day, but low Rs on two trades. TRADE 1 $AMD 1 MIN ORB, +0.17R Went long at 97.05. Two 25% partials then out at break even. Should have sold a chunk at the the 97.50 level. TRADE 2 $AMD ABCD +0.5R Trade 2 was also a 5 Min ORB, called out by Andrew so gave me a little more confidence to go in. Looks beautiful on the chart, but again a low R return. Partialed out 25%, 50%, 25%. My plan was to let the balance run. Got stopped out at break even though.... Including partial detail today... TRADE 1 TRADE 2 AFTERTHOUGHTS +0.67 R for the Day Two beautiful trades. Poor return. Bad Partials ?

    2020-12-14 <SIM> Excited to trade today. Full day off from work so I can concentrate on trading as much as I want. Stopping out after hitting max loss in first 30 minutes. Frustrated. Note: I have better days when I come in overly cautious then "excited to trade". Lesson here. TRADE 1 $WKHS 1 MIN ORB, 1.5R I really thought this was an A+ ORB setup. Huge volume on the one minute busting through several levels. Stopped out in seven seconds for a 1.5R loss. Yes, I am using Kyle's hotkeys. Did I miss anything here ? @Andrew Aziz ? TRADE 2 $NIO 1 MIN ORB, +1.5R A little bit of a late entry, but a green trade ! TRADE 3 $NIO ABCD -0.15R Thought $NIO was setup for an ABCD pattern, didn't like the way it was moving so I bailed out. TRADE 4 $WKHS REVERSAL, Break Even Took $WKHS long at 9:45. 10% partial then break even. TRADE 5 $PLTR REVERSAL, -0.5R Took $PLTR long. Chickened out and took a 0.5R loss. If I held in this would have been the trade of the day...hmmmm.....one to steam over... TRADE 6 & 7 $PFE REVERSALS, -1.1R AND -1.1R = -2.2R Definitely looking at this stock with a long bias. (Lesson here) Trade 6, went long here at 9:59 with a little bit of an aggressive stop. Stopped out for a 1.1R loss sooner that I should have been. TRADE 7 Long again at 10:20, definitely should have waited for another confirmation candle on a different time chart. AFTERTHOUGHTS: -2.8R for the day. I thought trade 1 had great strategy. Trade 2 was a nice result. Trade 3 &4 I am ok with. Trade 5 would have been a big winner. Then really lost my day being biased on these last two trades.

    2020-12-9 SIM No journal entry yesterday...couldn't bare to post my 0-3 day with following no rules what so ever... Way better today. Woke up early. Good watchlist. Best part is after the morning show I paused the volume on Brian and Andrew for five minutes just to make sure I was focused on my rules and trading strategies. Only two trades but feeling good about both of them. I watched the One Minute ORB video the other day...what do you think of this trade... $XPEV -1R One Minute ORB Close to VWAP, stop was in the right place... Did I miss anything fundamental ? TRADE 2 $QS Reversal +0.69R A little aggressive, but looked extended on the 5 minute chart from the 9EMA. Probably a poor R:R decision, but positive ! Hindsight 20/20 I should have left something in... Hindsight 20/20/20 I should have continued to watch the stock...It is getting more beautiful as I am journaling....ugh...! Look at this current chart... Dang ! Journal or keep watching...need to journal...hmmm... Afterthoughts: Way better day. Need some strong goals for December: DISCIPLINE Run green

    What's up everybody ? As you can tell I have been off the day trading for a bit... First, I took a new job at the end of August and have had my full focus on that... I thought I would get up early and trade a few mornings in October/November...and I have just had a rash of technical issues. I have been running DAS of my MacBook and although it seemed to work good for a while, the technical issues just finally got the best of me. So lately I have been researching PCs to buy. I have been on Macs for over 10 years and sworn everything off regarding PC. But, I finally pulled the trigger and got everything at least plugged in. The folks at DAS were helpful to me to switch my settings over. So now I have a real trading setup as opposed to my Mickey Mouse one. I think it will make a nice impact. The only thing left on my to do list is to setup the RGB keyboard back to highlight my hotkeys. With all that I logged in this morning thought I would catch the morning show and work on my DAS setup. I actually jumped (sloppily) into two trades and ended up +1R on an ABCD trade with $BA. Looking forward to getting back into it. The plan is to start in SIM and then jump back to small Rs in live trading. -Tom N TRADE 2 $BA ABCD +1R A little bit of a late entry, trying to find my hotkeys again Happy to be back in action. Looking forward to turning this into a profitable venture...

    2020-10-8 <SIM> Started the day with some strange technical difficulties. Internet froze for the first two minutes then was working fine... Missed any 1 Min ORBs... TRADE 1 $ROKU 5 MIN ORB -1.24 R Went long on $ROKU, pretty tight stop which should equal a good risk:reward. Stopped out 19 seconds later... Trade 2 $ROKU ABCD -0.1R Back long into $ROKU. A wider stop on this on, however it did not make the big move up that I was looking for. Out at break-even after almost 10 minutes. TRADE 3 $CCL Continuation / Support and Resistance +0.2R A beautiful downtrend on $CCL it broke the support level of the overnight low and I went short. Good Risk to Reward with target of yesterday's low. Nice room for this stock to move. Took a small partial and ended up stopping out at break-even. Should have held to run more ?? TRADE 4 $IBM 15 MIN ORB -1.1 R Long biased on $IBM. Certainly pulled the trigger following Andrew, of course his least favorite trade of the day. Stopped out in 22 seconds with my tight stop... Dang ! Tough day for me...not sure what to take out of it yet... Afterthoughts: -2.14 R Need some constructive ones here....

    2020-10-7 <SIM> TRADE 1 $DKNG 2 MIN ORB +1.67R Went long on $DKNG. Was shooting for a target of $54. Partialed on the way up but held and got stopped out at break even. Will also post the partial numbers for feedback... Green trade. A little disappointed that it didn't go to my target. My P&L was showing this as a good trade while I was in it, but obviously didn't maximize it. Thinking if I should just make one trade per day and stop. Maybe one Live then the rest SIM... Will stay in SIM for a while... TRADE 2 & 3 $PENN Support & Resistance with VPA -1.04R First, this was not on my watchlist of my four stocks (four stocks max) I added it because Brian had mentioned it. The chart was super clean, looking back I still like the charts. One thing I did not give enough credit to was the spread, could be as high as ten cents. That is a lot for me... Look how pretty this chart is ! I saw it break through the overnight high and thought it would hold as support. A great argument for VPA. High volume bullish candles on all the charts. I was certain this would go to the next level of 70.68. Went long and stopped out in less then a minute on the wick. TRADE 3 $PENN Support & Resistance with VPA -1.04R Revenge Trade ?? Maybe, but I still liked the VPA and support level. Traded with conviction as I held it for 11 minutes. Afterthoughts. -0.43R Started green, gave it back. Stop after 1 ? Traded stock not in watchlist. Still a great chart. Maybe I just misread it. Took a revenge trade (#3). I had the opportunity to walk away at break-even several times. Get out it is not going your way immediately. A little frustrated to post a red day...looking to pull some constructive lessons from it.

    2020-10-1 <SIM> Stopped after one green trade. +1.79R TRADE 1 +1.79 R $BBBY 1 MIN ORB Went long on $BBBY for a one minute ORB. Took partials along the way and held 10% back to the break even mark... Stopped after one green trade... I was looking through my watchlist after this trade but nothing was super clean. Good discipline to not trade ! Good start to the day and the month ! Have a good one all ! Afterthoughts: Good balance to trade the open while being committed to a full time job. Feels good !

    2020-9-28 <SIM> Back in action for me. I have been off the keyboard for a while trying to focus on my new job. Game plan was to trade back in SIM today after experiencing a few loss days live with small Rs. Re-motivated to focus back on trading after a great San Diego Meetup yesterday with some local traders and @Mike B ! Didn't like how I was setup today. TRADE 1 $DKNG 2 Min ORB -1.35 R Went short on DKNG. Missed the 1 Minute ORB and went for 2. Got stopped out. Maybe a chase ? Tough start to the day... TRADE 2 $AAL VWAP Reversal +0.09R Poor risk vs. reward trade. Went long for VWAP reversal, took partial then out at break even. TRADE 3 & 4 $CCL TRADE 3 15 MIN ORB -1R Went short with a huge downtrend on $CCL. Hindsight 20/20 I could have used a confirmation candle on a shorter time frame... TRADE 4 $CCL Continuation Went short again on $CCL thinking the downtrend would continue... Not a clean entry against any resistance levels. Definitely jumped the gun on this one... Afterthoughts: -3.2R Good to be in SIM ! Good to be back to getting up early and trading the open. Need to shake some of the rust off and re-focus. Will review the new video of 1 Min ORB. Back to fight another day !

    2020-9-21 <LIVE> Broke trading plan of one live trade then to SIM TRADE 1 $ORCL 1 MIN ORB -1R FAILED TRADE 2 $INO 2 MIN ORB -1R FAILED A little rusty on the Hot Keys...only SIM trading until I get a little momentum back... Also some type of error at the end which put me short in the stock...not sure what happened... Back to SIM for a while...

    2020-8-26 Plan is to only take three trades at the open... TRADE 1 $ PLAN 1 MIN ORB -1.2 R A couple of warning from the moderators today. Both regarding how poorly the NYSE stocks trade. Carlos mentioned the wide spread. I went long for an 1 Min ORB stopped out in 5 seconds for a -1.2R OUCH ! Not the way you want to start the day ! No more trading this stock ! TRADE 2 $NIO ABCD -0.03R The more I look at this trade the more I like it. Strong out of the gates. Huge volume candle at the 9:33 mark. I waited for a pullback. Stock came back to VWAP and I went long. 10% partial and then stopped out. TRADE 3 $CRM Trend Trade +1.5R Stock was strong on all charts 1,2,5 and 15. I saw a pullback on the 1 & 2 where it held the 9EMA. Partialed at whole dollar numbers. Only took eight shares because of my small risk size. Ran our of shares to partial rather quickly. No upper levels so not feeling to bad about not holding longer. Afterthoughts: +0.25R for the day. Don't trade NYSE stocks with wide spreads. Two back to back green days for very small dollars. Much better trading today, waiting for the pullbacks on these stocks.

    2020-8-25 <SIM> Light trading week for me. Work commitments this week. Planned on trading the open today for three trades only. I did not do a good job with a watch-list today, just copying Carlos. TRADE 1 $INTC Chase -0.1R This wasn't on my watch-list, but was on one of my chart windows left over from another day. Wow! What a breakout from the open. Is chase a strategy ? Haha Bailed out after it wasn't going my way... TRADE 2 $INTC ABCD +0.1R Re-fire on $INTC when it pulled back. Only took a 10% partial at support/resistance level. Stopped out at break even. Should my first partials be 50% or 25% ? TRADE 3 $AAL 15 Min ORB -1R $AAL was breaking the VPA point of control and on the 1, 2, and 5 there was no lower levels. I went short. Really tight stop, picked up 1000 shares but stopped out in three seconds. TRADE 4 $AAL 15 Min ORB +1.56R Really liked this setup, so I re-fired with a wider stop. When I was in the trade I saw the 100 SMA on the 15. So I took some heavier partials and then out for a green trade. Pushed my day to green. Afterthoughts: +0.5 R for the Day I tried to jump into my computer closer to the market open. This did not help me today, I was not as prepared as I like. Need to make sure I have the overnight Support & Resistance levels marked. Need to focus more on 3:1 trade minimums. It still takes a while to journal even with just a few trades Have a good week everyone !
