March 12 - +$236.47 but Over traded day

Well it's monday and I ate something spicy the day earlier and my stomach was acting up right before the opening.

I don't think I traded well today. Although it shows profit , but if I include commission on Suretrader, I am loosing quite a bit. 49 tickets is at least $250 commission.

Again, learn about RR, and don't over-trade

Watch List 
$QD
$MU
$NPTN
$ZSAN
$OCLR -- saw oppurtunity





$MU

Again, i am trying to trade ORB in the first 1-2 minutes. I setup a few charts and trying to look for the direction and level 2.
MU definitely looks good
+$MU $56.73 ( 176 shares ) , - 56.88[88shares], -57.18[44], 57.3[All out] Profit - $58
I should have held the last 44 shares for a bit longer but I am still not comfortable calculating new stop loss and breakeven. I should have use the SL hotkey that i have created.
I jump back on MU later on when I see ABCD pattern. I added 20% of BP when I see it is going to pop up.
+$MU 57.43[100], +57.41[57], +57.4[265] ,  -57.88[200], -58[120],-58.1[102] Profit $235.84
Then i got in again when I see another wave forming
+58.87[161], -$58.76[-241],+$59.06[338],-59.74[All out] Profi  $229.84
I switched from short to long when I see it is getting stronger. Dangerous, and very risky. I should not repeat thisl


$OCLR


While looking around at chat and NAS active, i saw this stock at 9.90 and high of premarket is $10.
I think it will hit 10. So I enter the trade.
+9.9[1818],-9.99[all out] Profit $163.62

$QD



Very bad trade. I went short thinking it will go down listening to people on chart room. People exited but I held on to it and yeah there goes my $268

Again it's the RR, and i should set discipline on when to get out.

Day note :
Where is my RR?
Need to trade cleaner.
Again, look for the ORB tomorrow, and limit my trade tickets to 20.

March 28 - From -$3000 to +$294.30 - Need to stop trading in first 5 mins

Image
Watchlist  $KBSF $FB $SHPG $CLWT $D Strategy : 1) trade on up gap up in the first few minutes 2) Trade ABCD $KBSF  Long +22.50 , Short +1292.91.  I have noticed this is a good pattern for me to trade. low float stock ORB 5 mins and 2nd entry when price couldn't make above VWAP. $CLWT Horrible entry.  Exited with more than 1k lost,  how can I let that happened? Short when it seems like going to make another high with ABCD pattern. Added a few K lost. Took short position when below VWAP and recover most of the lost NOTE: It's better to stop trading in the first few minutes. Next Day plan Day note

LIVE -$202 Feeling nervous and couldn't trade properly

WATCH LSIT $AA $HAS $AKRX $MDR Going live is harder than I thought especially when doing a wrong trade. I feel nervous and cant think properly Strategy : 1) trade on up gap down after popping up 2) Short weak stock 3) Trade ABCD 4) Reversal for short squeeze $CBI I traded on the first few minutes for a quick scalp. I saw it couldn't make a higher high and shorted it. I should have taken a bigger size. I know my stop loss is at $13.48 and targeting below the VWAP. Average Cost $13.39 SL $13.48 - couldn't make a new high TP 12.8 RRR   6.77 = 0.09:0.61 Note: Should have taken larger size in the future $SKX Chased the short and lost 33 on it. Went Long and it got reversed, Loose 100 on that side. Average Cost $29.59 SL $29.5- previous candle high TP 29.82 - VWAP RRR   2.55 = 0.09:0.23 Note: I thought of it as engulfing but it is not. $AA Failed reversal to VWAP. I shou...

-$400 bad horrible week. A good week to train myself to be a better trader

Image
Watchlist $NUE $VTVT It has been a horrible week for me. Have 2 big red day with more than -2000 lost. I have so much doubt myself. Well thank god, and I am still on sim account. I just applied for CME group and I am waiting for approval. It seems like Suretrader has a promotion too. Maybe I should have go with them since they have more shortable stocks? Strategy : 1) trade on up gap down after popping up 2) Short weak stock 3) Trade ABCD 4) Reversal for short squeeze $SIEN Dont have a good entry and exit That exit is horrible. I should have try to exit on a doji. Average Cost SL TP RRR   Note:  $VTVT Big lost on long and short due to wrong timing.I am not good at chasing the stock and I need to stop doing that but I do think I am very good at shorting. Note for improvement
