5/27

 Only 4 names im looking at today

BIDU ALB CRSR PRTS, ditched 2 other lesser setups they didnt have enough variables to make it worth the attention

CNK and SPR gapping up, SPR gapping up big as are a bunch of other industrial defense names. 

PRS the only one Im looking at strictly swinging, the others I am looking to day trade on breakouts with tape cues and volume only / in first few minutes of the day, or else just looking at buying pullbacks to levels. No chasing anymore. Tired of trading in ways that dont reflect the trades that have performed the best in my career, and thats been through buying the pullbacks. 

Take the trade, save best risk for best setups.

SPR I need to take off asap. These gap ups im willing to bet will get sold asap, so after 1st minute of the day, break the low of that im cutting half / my add from yesterday. 

CNK very close to take profit breakout as well. Just a quarter under it pmkt now. 

SPR nice pop at open, hit .80 saw good clear sell, took off 2, other partial later on more weakness.

PRTS in on pb to leve. V low vol, v low risk to start swing. 

CRSR based under, took it on BO. Tight spread on options, saving bigger size for better pb

CRSR didnt hold pop, back under, and lost vwap, right to LOD. Market turned a bit lower, but nothing seemed dramatic. 

Market dropped a bit, CRSR PRTS at LOD just hovering around. SPR very tight seeing great buy cues around vwap looked great for bigger move.

CNK also nice pop higher with vol, still sideways. 

SPR took off higher into HTF bo level and broke it, waiting to take last 2 of add. Still have OG whole position to ride. 

And taken, Big offer showed up too. Witht the gap u[ + rvol + HTF bo level + over extension of D. Seems like a great spot / Time to be all out of this trade. Market also turning lower, may just be another failed break, but think i still need to give this time. 

CRSR PRTS both turned up and reclaimed levels, waiting to see if add chance shows.

CRSR new HOD with vol. 

CRSR moving nicely, Vol steadily remaining, reasons to hold. But is also a daytrade not swing yet. Will keep win Look to reset on pb.

CNK ripping higher too into HTF bo level. Will take half off. Just tapped the bo level, didnt break it. Holding. Looks like we will get there and I wanna see it. 

CRSR just kept running into BO level. Taking half off soon. 

Actually took all off. Vol is great here and looks like we want more, but I wanna see pb first to reload, and dont wanna give up what gift I just got. This has not been the market to wait and see. Take my money, gtfo, try again. Until market proves it wants to rip continuously again, why chance it.  

CRSR turned right lower into vwap and prev hod, waiting still. HTF level just a bit below, dont want to be early.

CNK finally pulled in, took 2 of 5 off. Letting it go I like it for much more still, not overextended, just steady trending, maybe starting another big leg. 

SPR slow pull into vwap and prev hod range. Cant seem to find the buying yert, still looks good for more upside, no reason to worry yet but will be out rest if cant hold today. 

Indices are trending up well today, my names having a deeper pull in. Might be fakeout lower buy the dip time. 

CRSR hit under vpwa and tapped HTF level, bounced and back in. 

PRTS just slow, but trying shakeouts under vwap and levels again, still nothing alarming yet. 

SPR still dipping, not reclaiming vwap quickly. Problem but still super slow low vol pb happening.

The dips just wont stop dipping. 

And suddenly news hits the tape. SPY and Q big dump, obv hurt all names im in, cut CRSR and out all SPR. 

PRST warning signs, unable to reclaim, market weak keeps dropping, doenst like the news. May bail soon. 

CNK failing hard, bailed the rest of it. Not holding anything headed to LOD, almost breakeven, just keeping it. 

ALB super tight triangle around HTF bo level . Taking break higher. Lots of great signs and cues here on this name. Risk is tight as well.

TS screwed me, wouldnt let me move order up quick enough, and it exploded higher. Missed. 

PRTS built under vwap a long time, got above and ripped higher with good vol breaking TL from HOD. Added. 

Added on near HOD break as well, pulling in.

 

PRTS taking home, sold off EOD but nothing to be too concerned with

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,...
