When I login into the simulator version, it kicks me out of the real version. Is there anyway I can keep logged in into both versions?

How long does making the backup copy take? I just kicked it off... it says 8 hours 30 min remaining...
NM the above post. I had a few DAS recording files. Once I took them out, the download took no time at all..

Interesting shake out before trend reversal on two different stocks and different days.
that is the repeated buying pressure, imo. Someone like Thor typically enters there. Those entries don't always work for me, but Thor (and sometimes Brian too) take those with high success

Jarad, what does VA stand for? Is it volume average?

Technical / Execution
Things that went good
1. Had a plan and stuck to it
Opportunity for improvement
1. Better partials
2. Entry should be at the bottom of a mini trend, not at the top; or, stop should be wide
Emotional
1. Need to get better sleep

I found the execution of this incredibly hard. I sat on my hands for the first 15 minutes, and today most of what I was watching dumped in the first 15 minutes. And I found myself shorting things right at or slightly abvoe VWAP as the action at open made me short biased. I ended the day down 3R. I definitely overtraded today which is the demon I am fighting
Grade: Needs improvement
Biggest area of improvement: OVertrading
REsult: - 3R
Observation of the day: When the SPY was going up, because of the dump at open, I was still short biased. Market overrides everything
Conclusion: Need to adapt R goal with market and tape. Still not given up on the idea. But this volatile market demands less rigidity, perhaps.

11 hours ago, Rob C said:Hi Zen, welcome. What do you mean by "2 confirmations after breakout"? You mean two 1min candles above/below the breakout?
2 up and down. 1 min candles early in the day and 5 min candles later int he day. ticker goes up, pulls back, goes up to a new high and pulls back to a higher low

Starting this thread to post my Day trading journal.
Starting this week I am experimenting with taking just 3 trades. (this is to overcome my overtrading habits). Goal for each trade will be 3R. So I make 3R or lose 1R.
Here is 12 point check list I have for entering a trade.
RULES for entering a trade LONG SHORT 1 Catalyst Catalyst 2 Daily chart is favorable Daily chart is favorable 3 SPY in your favor SPY in your favor 4 Harmonious charts Harmonious charts 5 RVOL > = 2 RVOL > = 2 6 Above VWAP Below VWAP 7 2 confirmations after breakout 2 confirmations after breakout 8 Volume coming in Volume coming in 9 Above moving averages Below moving averages 10 Big Ask at a distance Big Bid at a distance 11 Bids stacking up Asks stacking up 12 3 R IS FEASIBLE 3 R IS FEASIBLE -
