11/10 DRC

Hello all, I am back. Was a crazy trip, much needed break. Still not feeling completely ready to get back into 100% trade mode yet as theres still some stuff around the house that needs to be taken care of as well as wedding plans. Very close though. 

Today going to sit and watch things. I did glance at charts to look for some setups and paper trade.

The market is pretty unbelievable right now. I look at these gaps and thinking this is some of the strangest stuff ive ever seen. Names exploding gapping higher 10/20% out of seemingly nowhere. I suppose we really like Biden as president. That and as always, shorts getting killed. 

Watchlist super small, market is not very clean so should look to stay away anyways. Not a lot of clear opportunity out there value seems to be on downside as we want to fill in these gaps. Either way going to keep staying in scalp mode and look to scalp more SPY and QQQs.

Monthly goals are 

-90% complaince

-Correct Risk at all times

-Scalp more SPY

-Walk away when supposed to

-Exit losses faster when they do not go right away.

Didnt do anything today. Just watched. Looked at scalp scenarios. Nothing big picture looked good. SPY scalps there was one that was a clear win and followed through. 

Onto tomorrow. Still not sure If I want to trade yet. Probably means I shouldnt and wont yet. Still not quite feeling like im back from vacation yet.

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,...
