10/9 DRC

 Clear edge to the bulls. We got above 343 and held all day. Now gapping up more above yest hi. May be on low vol, but cant deny every stock out there looking strong, ready to turn, parabolic, coiled MAs under. We look great for more upside. Problems will be big though if we cant hold things here.

Have a lot on watch today. A lot of really good looking setups out there. Some reversals off of names that have gone straight up for a couple weeks now. Huge vol doji candles but well see if the sell comes or if we have more in them. Lots of big range breakouts and trendline breaks. Big turning point in the market we shall see.

Problem yesterday is myself. Discipline. I need the discipline to follow my rules. When I dont, I lose money. And more money than I should. Grinded back half the day later on on setups that came to me. And that always needs to be my goal is to let the market come to me and trade my setups with appropriate risk from there.

breakout entry. Strong open with market help.

Pulled back low vol to vwap and HTF level with market. V lo vol waiting on bounce

Added as we started bouncing, good S. 

Added more as we got above vwap. Still good buying. Needs to hold above though. Market turning higher

Seems to be hidden sell just above vwap at .50, shouldnt be much of a worry here, Hitting him a lot, cant get past. Still waiting. 

Bailed on it for decent loss but saved some. Will get back in if we can get above but seems to be losing it and market turning lower. 

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

And shortly after did and back in. Market dumped hard and recovered v fast. 

We hit top of range and offers got well above but dropped it already. 

Broke it and added.

Still no big move yet. RVOL is low here but vol and tape great. QQQ help and market looks higher. 

Lost it out way worse than wanted.  

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

Made new lod, ripped up rigt to top of range, brokw it on big voll, back to vwap and HTF level and tested under, back up and in again. Added with momentum

Immediately stuffed lower back under, Market turning higher, sitting at level and again under .50

Lost mini range and out again. Going to have to wait a while on this 

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

Repeat of last time but now its different, big vol increase, supe rlow vol pb to level again, and market catching relief pulling back up, waiting for bullish tape. 

Dropped under too far, waiting on reset again. 

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

Much later again, did the same, failed lower, reclaimed and held, coiled tight and got in as we went higher. Great vol cues again, added with momo. Lets see. Market still trending higher and streong internals. 

Pulled in, held, big bid, momo up again, added bit more, relative strength now compared to market pullin. Still looking good must hold. 

Right at top end of range at .65 need bo 1st then next at .75 then HOD at .95 for PT. 

Sized up pretty big, couldnt follow through, all out on pb. 

LLY

BO entry. 

Held well and moved higher, no pb for adds yet. 

Fucked me, pulled into vwpa and collapsed. No chance for good exit. 

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

Later recovered, back to htf and vwap and had great tape. Market is not helping, but rvol is 2.5 and with clear vol and tape. In and added. 

Pulled back into vwap TL and HTF, bounced great tape still added more. 

Lost it though and out. If market was different maybe wed see something, but cut short. 




Getting crushed today. Just have to call it.

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,...
