    -3R

    Open was ok. Traded a few hours into the trading day to give back my profits and finish at max loss.


    Trade 1  NIO

    Trade 1 - Short with momentum for break of yesterday high. Covered early because was spiking up at times
    Trade 2 - Was holding below 48, I took it long (yesterday was bullish which I took into consideration.  Partailed all the way up. Added on the pull back as last candle had big vol. Took another add after the big hammer doji closed but go out too early
    Trade 3 - Took a short on after the shooting star formed, covered too early as was distracted by other position.

    PLTR

    Trade 1 - Went short for ORB. Wasn't enough volume and in hindsight it held pre market low - shouldn't have taken the trade but I don't think it was too bad... opinions?

    AAPL

    Took AAPL long for the breakout after engulfing candle and big ASK at 136. Reduced size as it was hesitating at that level and then stopped out at break even. In hindsight there wasnt big volume on the engulfing, would that have stopped you?

    FUBO
    Went short under VWAP as price started to curl down. Missed a partial at level as I was trading NIO. Took another short for break of major level but it failed

    BABA
    Went short after level rejection and when price was curling down. It took a while to sell off and looked like it was curling back up so I got out. Should have given it more time. Tried a long but stopped out early as it was looking weak. Went short for break of level.

    DKNG

    Went short after shooting star and 9/21 EMA curling down. Stopped myself out too early because I thought it wasn't a great set up. I should have waited for better confirmation - what do you think?

    FCX
    Went short after tweezer tops and price curling down with hopes of getting to 26.55 - just a small move. Worked for a minute than came back up so stopped myself out for small loser

    Can you bring an long ethernet cable? That's what I do when I go to my in-laws. Their wifi cuts in and out which is obviously not great for trading, but since I started bringing my own cable it works just fine. 

    From my personal experience I find it harder to trade while traveling. There's more distractions, different setup, less time... However, I watch fewer stocks and take fewer trades (maybe 1-3 a day) and have noticed that over a very small sample size I have a higher win rate, but at a lower dollar amount than normal. 

    Good idea, I didn't think of that. I'll ask if the router is accessible. I will be moving to another country for a month, so I will have plenty of time to trade for an hour or two each day.

    according to DAS at least 10/10 DL/UL speed recommended

    most important is packet loss. you can measure the line with some tools first. are you a profitable trader? if not, it is not very probable that you will be trading better while traveling or on vacation.

    Thanks Peter. I will look into measuring packet loss - is there a max number of losses based on down/up speed that should indicate its a no go?
    I am not a profitable trader. I went live for 2 weeks and made money, then proceeded to lose that money for 2 weeks. I am back on the Sim now until I can improve my risk management. I have faith that I will be able to get better at trading while I'm in another country, providing the wifi is good 😄
