9/10 DRC

Cleaner action starting to appear out there. Names look ready for reversals to the upside. Premarket definitely showing this as well. Still some ok shorts but bulls look ready to reload again.

Yesterday was slow, not a lot of big moves, lots of singles. No problem doing it again if thats what happens. Only missed 1 trade, sized up on what I should. Re entering always key.

1. Re enter trades that are still with your bias. Above prev hod/dbo level/vwap. Holding higher. Take the break.
2. Size up on names I should be sized up on. 200$ risk

LYV



Beatdowns strong. LYV pop at open, back to HTF level and vwap, saw buying on dip under and in.

Cannot for the life of me get the fill to add. 

Finally did but at awful prices. Got it on break of HOD which is also big HTF bo level. 

Big offer just above us well see how strong we are today. 

Came back to breakeven with selling coming in, Not taking any loss here on that bs. reset. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My exit currently the lowest point, building above it. Want to see it test under and thats my in. 

No way back in, felt like Id be chasing it. 


WORK



Strong open, lost vwap hard and MAs above but held prev hod nicely, looks like it wants to retest market also falling lower. Will see if buying here so far yes. 

Broke range low, ripped bought back up, retested and in and added. Solid tape. looking for new HOD recovery. 

Up 2R already into vwap. Now we have 26 to rebreak a nice pivot point here. SPY also ripping higher. 

Couple minutes under now, getting tighter. Into it now and above MAs, is perfect breaking point, stop is set. Too bad stuffed me lower and out. SPY same thing. 

--------------------------------------------------------

Retried entry at break, thought it would go didnt, quick out. 

Could not pullback enough for me to get in again, had to go for actual break, and even then got terrible fill. Is exploding though. 

And failed that too, all out. Give me a damn pullback that hits some S to get back in. VWAp great right now with TL S. 

------------------------------------------------------------

Got it later but not able to add well. 

Had to small size add on pivot break into HOD. 

Broke HOD into big offers. Taking half soon. 

Exited all here. Failed breakout with low volume break, SPY turning lower, huge offers coming in stepping lower. Take what I can.



MGM



Broke under vwpa into bo level and failed bought back up, started ticking higher and in and added bit but failed. Took big L.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Trying again as it still held levels and ticking back up again. Added once

MAs very tight, is turning point. 

AAPL



Reclaimed prev hod from a weak open, got in as we held and added, couldnt stick.





Alright bad morning. All over the map, entering damage control mode. Lots of longs failing, all the ones that did fail earlier now working. Tough day. Take it slow, let something come to me and trade like I normally do. The win will come. 



CVAC 



weak all day. TL in play and preventing price from rising. SPY just collapsed lower gave up mid day range. CVAC close to lod break, trying to get in before had. Has held under zone and going into prev lod break at 55. 

Trying to get size on, SPY turning up, not chasing, only filled 100 of 500. 

Me and others kept stepping in front of each other, finally got filled rest. TL almost at LOD now breaking point, SPY popped a bit, now turning lower again. 

Looking for d bo from this. Need to get past prev lod at 55.10 which has 2 daily lows there, then 55, then a whole point lower at 54.14 for dbo. ATR is 5, weve only gone a point, with market as weak as it is I think we can get it. 

Offers sitting, but not aggressive. .30 holding for half an hour now. LOD at .22, SPY still collapsing. 

And got our break, hidden sell seems to be here. Unable to add. Max BP coincidentally. Gotta let it be but good looking now. Offers still stepping lower, just waiting. May end up being an all day hold, which kinda sucks to use all my bp up on that, but must deal. 

And failed, couldnt hold anything under .50 with offers there. 





Today clearly a day where I dont have much edge. Had longs planned, market sold off, obviously weak, not much buying going on. Will give myself one more trade to bring it back, if not, not my day to win, no need to make it worse. 




WORK

Getting back above prev hod into vwap, thinking short we tested above, seen nothing but buying into hidden selling. Volume drying up, might be time to turn lower, will be a lot of trapped longs here wanting out, need to see turn though.

Testing above cant break, started dropping and in. 

Fucked me good right away. Spiked back up and broke above .95. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Setting up for re entry again, failed and back down again with same hidden selling and bigger offers. Internals might be turning around, vol still low here, buyers not getting it anywhere. 


DOCU



Market regaining some, still under vwap, DOCU been sideways all day, if we want to get strong this can be it. lost vwap, reclaimed it and yest sell zone holding above. Looking for long but SPY atm is weak and looks to turn lower, might have to wait for this to look better 1st.

Broke triangle, not in, good vol, waiting on retest.

Getting retest looking for buys, market iffy again. 

Got it with spy faking lower and bought back up into vwap, internals v strong. Looks good. Wanting more. Gotta go. 

Pulled in a bit, held, added on new high. Looks good still, SPY got a chance to get above vwap, internals still up and strong. Vol in DOCU slowing though. Stop same. 

Damn shame, lots of S just under us very tight, tape is great, SPY turning lower again, well see if we can hang on, vol low no is on low vol pb which is great. Would love to see this play out strong. 

Cant do it. Out L. 

WORK

again never got higher, SPY failed, tight range breakdown here, In on break looking to add. 

SPY collapsing again, no follow up in WORK. 

No



Have to stop. Shit day.

Time is a thief for the impatient. And a gift for the patient.  Do I need to think about selling options?  It makes sense to sell puts, internals clearly strong, but the market is not in clear position to make that a good trade yet. Wait until its clean and clear. I would rather not sweat, than risk more money in uncertainty.  BEFORE THE BELL -Premarket Checklist. -Is the market Trending, Chop, or turning? -Is Sentiment making any significant trend breaks? -What are best/worst performing sectors?     -Are any breaking out or down? -Do I need to make adjustments to my investments? -Does yesterdays action look likely to continue today? -Have we gone in a straight line to S or R?      -Do I need to be cautious of an overextended market and look for reversal instead of continuation? WATCHLIST PREP -SPY/QQQ FANGMANT+ always in play.  -Monthly/Weekly watch always in play for VA breaks.  -Proper boxes and Anch vwap charted.  -Scan through ...

11/30 DRC

 Last day of the month. Not much trading exactly to talk about. Big issue last week was speed. I was slow in almost all cases. Trying not to look too much into it. Took a few weeks off, its expected to take a bit to get back into the swing of things. Risk was main focus as a goal going forward. Correct size, consistent risk throughout every trade and setup for consistent results. That I did good with. Main things to focus on 1. Following entry criteria, making sure I trade what I am supposed to 2. Using correct size to reflect risk already determined by setup 3. Must be faster with ^^^ 4. Cut losses fast on adds. In and out, dont wait. 5. Follow management rules, up 1R/2R etc. 6. Take profits in 3rds.  7. Enter trade with small size if it is leaving without me. Big adds come in only if core is at price and action I want to see.  Market looks hot. Nothing but breakouts around. Gapping down a little, recovering already though into the open. SPY at and holding above prev lo,...
