LOB Swing

 




Bank name re entry. Finanicals v strong, looking for this to continue.


Back in this name from a while back, had nice bp and held prev ath v well. Got the lucky fill as it pulled back in to test prev hi. 

Got another random add in to fill me at BO level. Good. 

Very slow name, just sitting aobve vwap and old bo. Banks pretty much parabolic, relative weakness here it seems. Reasons to hold though ill stay. 

Drifting higher. 

Held above bo zone well all day, until the bell came and we dumped and lost it. Still holding overnight, thinking well recover just fine. 

2nd

weak to start, never recovered, out.

Trading Plan

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,...
