12/17 DRC

 Market looking ready for big moves. Big names making huge breakout moves into more. This is the point I think this market can go parabolic. SPY 400+ before we see our big reset finally.

Dont have too much to look at day trade wise, but enough to keep busy with it.

I do want to spend time managing swings. For the most part, no management required, but if situations come up to add, thats where I need to be. Thats probably where im going to make my money this month is the swings im already in and will be in soon. 

Trading is going well for me. Dont chock off the swings too fast, they are trend catches and are looking like trends and if this market wants ATHS and to go para, id better be long and holding. 

AMZN DKNG AVLR COUP PAYX GAN VRTX


PAYX

strong market open. Good curling pattern got in with momo and tight tape risk.

Got out right as bid reload bid showed, back in. 

Cant do it for me, market dumping lower. All out

Took some fat Ls here. 

Trade is still here, broke lower into ATH  and seeing vol increase but not dropping. Might be re entry. Market has recovered a bit. 

Made triangle, breaking point right at confluence.

Filled, of course right as market is dumping again, fast L. 

VRTX

Making picture perfect pattern. Market dumping is not helping but if we can see a test under this range just above bo level thats my in. 


Doesnt seem to be any day trades left. But wow what a day for swings. 


PAYX too bad really, market wasnt helping at all to start the day, so I got good signals and setups, but no go.

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,...
