PINS Swing

 




Former big runner. Nice rounding top to pullin and reset with TLB higher. 


Had nice pop at open, got in with momo, maybe chance to add later. Not favorite so not huge. 

Dipped lower, back to HOD break into BO level at 70 ish.

And back up, coiling around bo level with big triangle. Will add with momo higher. 

Broke lower under vwap and TL. All MAs tight above, options breakeven. Might have problem here. 

Reclaimed broke higher. Feels like id be chasing this market, internals and indices clearly divergent. Market is not as strong as it says it is, have to think could be trap. Overall PINS into bo zone now but ok break here. Wont add yet. 

But damn, took off. Waiting on pb. 

Damn, no pb. Really missed that one. 

Trending higher, moving very well. 

Nice .618 R Tap

Held strong rest of day, closed above and at HOD. Looks great. 

2nd

Took 1 off of 2 on weakness. No sense in holding smaller size when I can add more lower.

Never got the chance to and spiked into close. 

Big zone under 73 was a problem, closed under after testing above. 

Clear channel forming, excellent add spot 71.50 + TL if time allows and we dont lose it early. 

3rd

Had a decently strong day. We broke lower from TL and reclaimed it, getting stuck between S and R now. Will hold still. 

4th

Big triangle, inside a bigger triangle.

I made new position and added as we broke. Turned parabolic into bo level. Still 2 points out of ATH, taking some profits now as move got real vertical real fast. 


Turned back on me as market dumped, I took it off for a good win. Was the bottom though and came right back to make new hod.

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,...
