Hi HC2, I took that exactly same BABA trade with the same result 🙁 A powerful hammer on a million shares volume. A good trade that just didn't work out this time.

That double bottom NIO trade was awesome. I just took a screen cap of it to add to my playbook examples.

Missed the first hour of trading today, had a Doctor appointment. Nasal/Allergy checkup only, nothing serious. 

Again today I was very disciplined with the "No Strategy" problem. I watched all day long and only took one trade!

WFC Mountain Pass

I did not like the lack of enthusiasm (Volume) after the second bottom, so I took a partial at the 50SMA. then the lack of enthusiasm once it crossed the 50 was another sign that this didn't have the juice that most of these setups have. I exited before BE once it lost the 50 a second time.

Here is a trade I should have taken, but when I typed NKLA in chat, Aiman flipped to it and said "Nothing is happening here". I have to remember, this is my TradeBook setup, other traders have different setups and indicators they like.....this looked good to me and I should have taken it. Would have easily reached 2R on this trade. maybe more. Aiman doesn't care much about volume, he is a candle pattern genius though. I really liked the Volume spike at the bottom and the long lower wick. then when the next low happened, another long wick. Lesson learned.

Solid first week back to a LIVE account. I had one bad day of "No Strategy" but have put some tricks into place to help with that. For the week I was -0.43R. Excited to take my new discipline trading into next week. See you all Tuesday.

If you don’t have a mountain to climb, find one.

A little bit of everything today, 6/9, but only +1.7R, but they were all TradeBook setups, another successful day of avoiding the dreaded "NO Setup"

The advice I would give anyone entering the next BootCamp.

Hi @hailchaser2

I'm considering hoping in the next PCT Bootcamp cohort. Though I notice that the topics covered could be stitched together from the amazing set of educational webinars and resources on BBT

What was the value add of the Bootcamp for you? For me, I can see it being a structured curriculum. But I suspect there's more!
