Just a Day Trader

 I just posted 2 posts that have been sitting unworked on for a couple months.  It is June 24 and I want to get a quick one out. Things are smoothing over. I have started using scripts to update my data. It now only takes about 20 seconds for me to complete my morning copy and paste routines. Safe to say thats huge.  Trading itself is going fine. I am still in drawdown from earlier this year gains but slowing myself down, not trading everyday, and waiting for better market environments is where I am at now. Currently long DOC, ENSG, and MEDP.  Sadly im running out of trading capital. I cant take as many trades as I would like but maybe thats not the worst thing. It does require me to get very speicifc about what I am trading. I only have X amount of capital, I must use it on the best setups.  I have not figured out a good routune. New born Bo/house still taking priority but I am keeping eye on setups still a few times a week. I have subbed to SATA, https://www.s...

 I must find a way to be faster. I do not have time like I used to.  I must create a minimalized compact view of all of kmy sheets into something that takes less than 10 minutes to get my overall view.  I created a market data summary sheet that looks at all the tabs in the original data sheet, and gives it all to me on 1 tab. Much faster copying and pasting. ---------------------------------------------- Day trading is not happening.

If I have a trade that does not have the best fundamentals, then it needs to be made up on the technical side...

Baby boy number 2 is here. Beau Valens Klingsick. He did come 2 months early 2/27/24, and with complications. It is currently April 13th and I am sitting here in the NICU typing this out. He is doing well and we are expecting to be out of here to bring him home by May.  This has obviously compliacted my trading life drastically.  I cant stop trading. Just not going to happen. So I find a way. Swing trading has still been wokring very well for me as I slowly continue working on my spreadsheets and trying to get faster, more efficient with less time spent at the desk.  My main goal right now needs to be eliminating parts of my data recording process.  I have a lot of things I am tracking. It takes hours. Daily. Weekends take a few hours before I can even get to the charts. I do not have time to Day trade right now. I barely have enough time to swing trade. And I know if I was able to put more into it, I could be better. Main thing is tracking. Trends, industries, setup...
