Wednesday +0.41R 4/5

2:1? 3/4

4:1? 3/4

8-12pl.PNG.e8006aeed35b8f57602c1bf93f15e7ec.PNG

 

BOXL, SIM pre-market trade +0.88R

8-12simboxl.thumb.PNG.888dac24680c2989816eff6234f4cf2d.PNG

 

MSFT 1MinOrbUp +0.15R

I second guessed myself after entering because of that crazy wick on the 2nd candle. So I took a quick partial, then got stopped at B/E

2:1? YES

4:1? YES

WFC 1MinOrbUp +0.23R

I had a bias long because of sector rotation into banks yesterday, this is not my 1MinOrb setup, so again I realized this after entering and took a quick partial and stopped at B/E

2:1? NO

4:1? NO

8-12wfc.thumb.PNG.37d9b11cc807b37a8078d4c3f84fa3c5.PNG8-12wfcstudy.thumb.PNG.f0f4fa0c5f000afabe4c0d1c7e6522d6.PNG

 

MGM 5MinOrbDown +0.16R

My uncertainty from the first two entries stuck with me on this one.

2:1? YES

4:1? YES

8-12mgm.thumb.PNG.4e35ced03aa368f2ff253b4b482cb4d7.PNG8-12mgmstudy.thumb.PNG.dd5a4f50db1855d779e26bd472ed7f7b.PNG

 

MRNA 5MinOrbDown +0.91R

2:1? YES

4:1? YES

ROKU BOUp@Level -1.0R

Not a setup I should be taking. I did do a great job not revenge trading this one. I wanted to short when it lost VWAP, then go long when it regained VWAP, then long near HOD, then short after double top. I kept telling myself, "Look at that shitty 5Min chart, there is NO TRADE HERE, MOVE ON" So I guess that is a big positive!

8-12roku.thumb.PNG.df23bb9943225299ae54e7042523ebc0.PNG

 

My uncertainty continues to haunt me. 

11/12 winners would have made 2:1 before hitting my stop, I don't know why this psychological hurdle is so difficult for me to conquer. 

Hell, 9/12 have hit 4:1 before hitting my stop.

I think I'm going to put an order in at 2:1 tomorrow for 50% and see if that helps at all.

I've even considered the 100% 2:1 or stop range order to help with this issue.

NKLA 5MinOrbUp -1.0R

I prefer to enter on the pullback of a 5MinOrb and closer to VWAP. Had I entered better I would have survived the pullbacks, this thing ran up $3 before lunch

8-13nkla.thumb.PNG.c39147d36a93695f3f645474e1bc58cf.PNG

 

CSCO 5MinOrbDown -0.95R

Looked good for 5MinOrbDown with ABCD on 1Min, just didn't work out

8-13csco.thumb.PNG.ab501d5c18853164b5b21f93e1b656b6.PNG

 

DIS BOUP@Level -0.5R

HOD break and PCL break, barely got stopped out before the move.

8-13dis.thumb.PNG.9332abdadcdb5c4265e0a29fd642c0d4.PNG

 

Still didn't wait for 2:1 on any of my trades. All 3 winners would have made 2:1.

Your hit rate with the orbs is great! Why not try a day where you go all or nothing 2 to 1? Delete your partial button, let me see those 2R ORBS!!!

yeah, I just did some quick figuring, and I think my Orbs this week would be +20R if I had implemented the 2:1, all or nothing.

This week 16/18 winners would have hit 2:1.....I'm thinking I really should do 2:1 all or nothing next week......if nothing else, at least I should do it for my 5MinOrbs, if I scalp my 1MinOrbs that's ok, but I should put the 2:1 order in on my 5MinOrbs.

SQ BODown@Level -1.0R

It looks like I chased this trade, but it broke wicked up twice on the 1Min candle, then broke LOD, didn't have volume and momentum to break down though.

BA accidently traded in SIM instead of live, I didn't switch that montage window back to live account after trading in premarket. Long then 3 shorts, chickened out and exited my shorts because the same time I entered Andrew was going long on one of the airlines.

Long -0.15R

Shorts +0.26R

8-19ba.thumb.PNG.27b52ccb63682e3a1cd0fd058fd6f707.PNG

 

After reviewing, I ddin't trade as poorly as I thought. If I would have been patient with my TGT Long, my day would have been much better. I would not have taken the last TGT short or GILD short. I would have left for work with a green day, but I pressed today trying to get back to break even.

should not have went short with the first 5 Min candle having a big bottom wick.

This ended up running to 8R, but I only made 0.1R on it because I was afraid of the daily levels above my entry, but looking at it now. thefirst 2 5 Min candles both had big wicks down, I should have had more confidence in this trade.
