hailchaser2 185 Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Wednesday LIVE +2.35R 5/8 How Many Winners Made 2:1? 3/5 I gave away too much later in the day again. KODK Pre Market +1.0R Would Have Made 2:1? YES TSM 1MinOrbDown -0.39R My original stop was above first candle, I exited when it looked more like an Orb up instead of an Orb Down. INTC 1MinOrbDown +1.6R Would Have Made 2:1? YES Had two adds to this short, it was a nice trade. AMD BODown@Level +0.2R Would Have Made 2:1? NO SBUX Double Top +1.1R Would Have Made 2:1? YES Here is where I lost concentration again today, started firing at no strategy trades again. TSM.1 DoubleTop, But I chased it bad. -1.0R TSM.2 Revenge Short -0.78R TSM.3 Revenge Short Again +0.59R Would Have Made 2:1? NO I took screenshots full screen today on my "2:1 Study Charts" I don't like how they look here in the forum, so I'll go back to the other way I took screen pics. Some good trades today. But I think I need to adjust my late morning trading, either switch to SIM after open session, or walk away for 30 minutes or so after open session to clear my mind before the late morning session. I'll get into tradervue and look at the time of the day and see if there has been a pattern this week. Edited July 30, 2020 by hailchaser2 1 If you don’t have a mountain to climb, find one.

tntp45 53 Posted July 30, 2020 Nice Day ! I like the $SBUX trade ! Nice catch ! Do you have the 50sma on your chart ? Would that also be Peter's mountain pass ? What a crazy day for $KODK ! People must have made and lost some serious $$. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a crazy day for $KODK ! People must have made and lost some serious $$. The 50SMA is the thicker grey line. It was close to his mountain pass, I don’t recall all of his criteria. But I know my entry was probably too soon for his setup. If you don’t have a mountain to climb, find one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hailchaser2 185 Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Tuesday -1.7R 5/10 How Many winners made 2:1? 2/5 Since I had bad trades pre-market yesterday, I traded in SIM pre-market today instead of Live Probably shouldn't have, because it was a Nice +1.78R, so that messed with my psychology before the open, because it was in sim and not live. PINS.1 1MinOrbDown -1.0R Crazy price action made a big wick above VWAp and stopped me out, price shot back down immediately PINS.2 Revenge 5MinOrbDown -1.0R BAD TRADE PINS.3 BOUp@Level +0.93R Would Have Made 2:1?

YES Today was the first Morning back in the hotel in Gillette, hopefully I'll settle back into my hotel routine tomorrow, I felt out of it this morning. My goals the rest of the week, NO MORE PRE-MARKET TRADES, IF I LOSE ON MY FIRST 1MINORB I HAVE TO WAIT FOR 5MIN CANDLE TO FORM TO TRADE AGAIN, ON MY 5MINORBS WAIT FOR 2:1 BEFORE TAKING FIRST PARTIAL UNLESS THERE IS A DISTINCT LEVEL MARKED BETWEEN 1:1 AND 2:1 I'm in a bit of a slump right now, these goals for the week should help get some confidence back.

hailchaser2 185 Posted August 6, 2020 Wednesday 3/3 +4.7R How Many Made 2:1? 3/3 How Many Made 4:1? 2/3 JNJ Pre Market Breaking News +1.2R CNBC had breaking news about government money for vaccine going to JNJ, I quickly clicked over to the chart, tape started picking up speed, so I entered. I only risked $5, so it was really a 2.4R trade, but I didn't want to mess up my stats, so I just left the R as if I really risked $10 like all other trades. Would Have Made 2:!? YES Would Have Made 4:1? YES AMD 1MinOrbDown +0.36R Would Have Made 2:1? YES Would Have Made 4:1? NO DIS 5MinOrbUp +3.17R Would Have Made 2:1? YES Would Have Made 4:1? YES This DIS trade was my Member Trade of the Day entry (From this point forward MTOD for short), below is my marked up pic. I really thought I had a chance to win with this one....but I didn't. I still only succeeded in waiting for 2:1 one time today. But my overall trading was much better than Mon and Tue. I am going to start tracking if my winners reach 4:1 now that I know most of them will reach 2:1. Let's keep this momentum going. If you don’t have a mountain to climb, find one.

hailchaser2 185 Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Thursday -0.69R 6/9 How Many Winners Made 2:1 4/6 How Many Winner Made 4:1? 1/6 I had two winners today that should have been bigger, but I guess since I was in another trade my buying power was not enough to risk $10, so one risked $2.30 instead and another around $5.00 instead. ATVI 1MinOrbUp -1.16R I'm ok with this trade, I determined 87 as good level to go long if it tested it and couldn't break down in the premarket. It came down twice and tested VWAP, so I entered after the second test and break above big VPB bar, trade didn't work out. FSLY.1 1MinOrbUp +0.11R 2:1? NO 4:1? NO This was a bad trade, my stop was below VWAP, so R:R was way off. FSLY.2 5MinOrbDown +0.26R (should have been 1.06R, only took 2.30 risk instead of 10.00) 2:1? YES 4:1? NO DIS.1 5MinOrbDown -1.0R DIS.2 5MinOrbUp +0.25R 2:1? YES 4:1? NO DIS.3 BO Up @ Level Revenge Trade -0.44R MSFT LightningBoltUp +0.67R (Only risked 4.48 instead of 10.00, so should have been 1.4R instead) 2:1? YES 4:1? YES SQ BO Up @ Level HOD +0.13R 2:1? NO 4:1? NO DKNG BO Up@ Level HOD +0.55R 2:1? YES 4:1? NO This was a bad trade, way too extended from VWAP and 9 on 5Min. because of that I got cold feet and took half my position off after minute and a half. I had two bad trades today, but I thought I traded worse than that. Some bad timing with my buying power issues, cost me 1.4R. So this should have been a green day. I'm going to have to start checking available buying poser before entering a second trade I guess. I bought some hand exercise squeeze balls today so i can keep my hands busy while I wait for 2:1 partial. Edited August 7, 2020 by hailchaser2 1 If you don’t have a mountain to climb, find one.

hailchaser2 185 Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Monday +2.5R, 5/6 2:1? 5/5 4:1? 4/5 MCRB BO @ Level Pre Market +0.06R 2:1? YES 4:1? YES UAL 1MinOrbUp +1.06R 2:1? YES 4:1? YES MSFT.1 5MinOrbDopwn -0.64R This first entry was too far from VWAP, but I was afraid of missing the move. MSFT.2 5MinOrbDopwn +0.096R 2:1? YES 4:1? YES Good trade, but I got cold feet and exited with miniscule gain MSFT.3 5MinOrbDown +0.69R 2:1? YES 4:1? YES A bit of a revenge trade because after I exited the last trade, price dropped immediately so I shorted again. Because I knew this was not a solid entry, I partialed 50% quick. The trade ended up more than 10R, but I had taken off 50% before it even reached 1R. MGM 5MinorbDown or 5 Min Engulfing Crack, not sure which I should label it as +1.26R 2:1? YES 4:1? NO Traded ok today, still struggling on holding for the first partial, and not happy with how I traded MSFT. I was considering not trading 1MinOrbs this week, but when I reviewed my trades last week, my biggest problem was hesitating on 1MinOrbs, there were a few times I didn't take the trade when it looked good and it ran without me, so then I would try to force a 1MinOrb on a different stock on the 3rd or 4th candle. So I picked the stock from my watchlist that made the best looking 1min candle (No big wicks, nice sized body, closed above/below VWAP) and concentrated on an entry during the 2nd candle.

hailchaser2 185 Posted August 11, 2020 Tuesday +1.63R, 3/4 2:1? 3/3 4:1? 2/3 DIS 1MinOrbUp +0.49 2:1? YES 4:1? YES I should have entered this again after test of VWAP for a 5MinOrb, but I was afraid to lose my profits from the first trade. I need to learn not to let an earlier trade affect my analysis of the next trade. The second trade would have been a clear 5MinOrb with smaller time frame ABCD. MGM 5MinOrbDown +1.1R 2:1? YES 4:1? YES CCL LightningBoltUp -1.1.R I should not have entered this trade until it broke through the 100sma and 200sma that were sitting right above VWAP. I even told myself twice if it got to .40 mark which was break even, I would get out. I didn't and it cost me an R. RCL 5MinOrbDown +1.1R 2:1? YES 4:1? NO When the above CCL trade failed, I saw it was a short, but the only cruiseline available for short with CMEG is RCL, so I switched to it and shorted. Decent entries again, but I didn't wait for 2:1 on anything. I need to unpack my stress balls. I'm in a new hotel and they are still in my bag. 1 If you don’t have a mountain to climb, find one.
