12/10 DRC

 Short is on. No longs


ROKU

tried short just after open, killed on spread and slippage. Even took smalller size and still wasnt enough to prevent big loss.

Saw good tape and sell, quiet on pb to level but no follow up.

BYND

market ripped higher to new HOD. BYND lagging at vwap, not seeing strength. Maybe if we rollover here, were right at HTF zone and prev lo.

Did drop as market was still holding higher. Dont want to force it here only for it to rip me, must wait on market weakness. 

Making very nice setup with TL break higher into vwap + htf. Market though making new highs again. BYND is not seeing good buy volume here. The trade is here but need market to stop. 

Popped higher, market still holding higher. Big vol increase but not going anywhere still under HTF levels.

Still grinding higher now to range high just under prev lo. Market same weak grind move higher, BYND not doing well Will go for short on failed break higher. 

Internals starting to rollover lower. Might see good pb here.

Grinded lower without the break, still super low volume. SPY sideways, internals did not rollover, might see more upside in overall market. 

Much later SPY did finally pb some to turn red with internals following. Ripped right back up and BYND followed and broke range high. Did not fail though and made decent move higher. 


Looks like shorts are not happening now/today. Will probably walk away early.

Close to max D day. Killed on ROKU exit. Killed on CRWD reversal exit. Stupid stuff. Was not risk conscious enough to account for slippage and spread. Apparently needed to give it more with less size.

Spy holding higher still, failing breakdowns. Not gonna get anything I planned on so walking away today.

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,...
