March 3rd Week

 Starting things offf ugly. Not much to say about last week. Only 3 trades, Nothing really working for me in this environemnt, just remaining super patient.

Market looking ugly to open up this week. No gap but we look ready to jump off a cliff. Hope to see dip buyers overall.

MONDAY

30min in market finally acting weak, some confolicting internals.

NVDA with the setup under vwap reclaim, started running lower with market in and added. Stalling for moment. Waiting. 

Ripped me all out

Market also turned up, maybe a bit early. 

TUESDAY

Gap lower then retrace back higher. 

AMZN a stock on not og watchlist setup for me, clear tight arnge just around HTF zone, ripped higher and failed as market dumped, then dropped to lod as we continued on. Broke it and stalled which is problem given it held here 4 times almost 5 now. Market v srs sell off so suckls to see it hold but must play small ball if market tells me to

Never quite gave me reason to sell yet so able to hold a bit longer, but then did spike up on me out MOMO, ready to cut og.

And spiked up more to vwap cut rest as it approached breakeven. Out all. Small win. 

Too bad as that and market really looked good for more.

I want to hold these trades, but not if theyre going to break major levels and then hold for a trapped short breakdown. No reason to hold through all that if its not doing what I expect. 

WEDNESDAY

Strong recover yesterday. Still not above anything notable but looks great on LTFs maybe more today. Possibly big squeeze can happen. Need to watch for failed breakouts though.

Need to make sure market is strong for my long ideas. I will get trapped in chop if market does not agree

Big gap, must be patient

Got something on MDT an hour later

Nice coil around vwap and reclaim with tight ma pattern. Market clearly helping. It may be a bit over ext from LTF MAs but pattern is clear here and now and market can help move it still

In and added, stalled, held, added again.  

But failed out momo, lost vwap out rest

1hr not in play, 30 min not either, 15min just barely caught up, 1min MAs mixed up with 50 on top. Its not perfect. Its over ext win sector thats not seeing strength right now. HC is not ripping. Market is, but its over ext, there isnt going to be that flood of HTF buyers all the way up here. Im too early. 

THURSDAY

AVGO my 10 star setup. Market up and moving up.

Gapped a bit away from ideal entry but need in. 

Not the best becuase of gap ticks higher, MAs are above us but its 10star and its giving me what I need intraday as is market. 

Made its HOD break but stalled, vol coming in. Slower name need to be pateint. I want to add still if it can hold and move higher again, will but us above all MAs. 

Market drop and so did we, out momo

Bounced from vwap added new og as market also boiuncing higher hard. 

market again rippping higher and we held vwap, added momo. 

Just not seeing strength like rest of market and industry etf. Drifting to new HOD on no vol. Feel like itll fail. Market really ripping, sucks. 

Huge cum delta divergence here. Tons of buying, we arent getting anywhere, bulls are not happy. When and if market turns, this thing should see a snap back.

Did drop but held, still feels like i need to hold this. Not exactly a momentum name, 2k shares a minute means its gonna take a bit. 

Market still exploding higher, again avgo driged lower into vwap and held and turned up with big buy, added last bp. 

the phrase losers add losers popping in my head, but this is 10 star setup, under such clear trending squeeze conditions, with tape cues I cannot believe were not doing anything here. 

Getting above MA coil again, market now v overxt and internals turn lower. RVOL .6 here, unlikely to rip on its own. 

Great curl and pop higher, needs to run now. 

and failed stuffwe lower lost vwap all out lost huge

Friday did not trade

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,...
