5/26

 Focusing on quality better today. Had 8, dropped to 7, added 1. Volume cues, option cues, multiple breaks, VA edge, MA tight. Good looking setups with better options.

SPR CNK holds from earlier this week, SPY again doing the gap up to prev day high at open so both also gapping up after weak day. Things I just have to deal with swinging names, dealing with market antics. 


WB and MVIS

WB strong open above D, in

MVIS dip at open held, reclaim in, and added on new move higher. Is day tradeable.

MVIS rip into pmkt hi and broke 

CDE nice dip into vwap + perv hi, in for swing on gold.

MVIS pop into BO level, must chill

WB failing, dropping to retest open / prev hi and out on LOD break

CDE added

MVIS into vwap and bo level, may add

WB of course reclaims and fakes me out

MVIS of course doesnt hold now negative. 

CDE chopping around, gold ETFs weak dropping lower

MVIS retested vwap + bo level from under, dropped more, might be problem.

WB back in on reclaim and hold.

MVIS coil under vwap and HTF, only wanting to add on retest that holds from above.

CDE dropping under levels and vwap, might be problem. 

MVIS giving new tighter stop, rejected on test higher. Definitely warning signs, market also weak, hasnt seen an uptick yet.

CDE and gold just straight collapse, not holding anything, waiting on pb.

MVIS out on breakdown into lod.

GOLD etfs pulling up, CDE leaking lower, cant say bail yet bt close. 

WB failing again, new LOD again, now after 2 failures, makes sense to bail on breakdown on LOD, but last time faked out, may do it again.

CDE not failing yet, recovered some

WB did fake out, but needs to reclaim more still

Market is recovering, should help everything. Different than yesterday, seeing above vwap already 1hr into the day. 

CDE straight back to vwap + and og entry, impressive gotta hold. Gold also turning up well as is market. 

WB stuck under vwap and HTF, might have to bail if cant find it soon. 

SPR seeing huge vol coming in, building above vwap and HTF levels, wanting to add. 

CDE reclaimed vwap and holding, gold dumping again though. May cut short. 

SPR trying to reclaim and give me add spot.

CNK dumped hard returning to open. Sucks but must reman.

WB, building long under vwap. Looks like it can pop, will exit if breakdown

CDE, small drop, Gold too, nothing to worry about yet but signs of sell soon maybe.

WB breaking higher, worth an add on pullback.

SPR very nice TL as R, may add on break if good. 

WB couldnt hold, broke lower.

Added SPR on break of TL and range. 

CDE getting very tight around vwap and prevhi. Wanting to add, risk can be reduced a lot here. 

CDE finally breaking higher with good volume. Added.

And stuffed immediately.

SPR still not going anywhere, building slow and higher each time, looks great for a bigger move now. 

CDE back up to intraday BO level again, didnt breakdown. 

Left desk, came back, in 15 min we lost everything, didnt stop out, til now. 



WB too bad, just couldnt give me anything, normal losses.

MVIS also too bad, had a real nice start, then just lost it, no bids to give me an easier exit.

CDE reasons to put stop in. Its not gonna kill me to put it in.

SPR good add scenario, later in day though could not get a tick above vwap, still above stop so holding.

CNK wanted to add, never really gave me clean obvious spots to do it, but held higher.

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,...
