April 2 - +$1367 - another crazy day from -$5000 to Positive $1367





Watchlist 
$FB
$BABA
$ALKS
SLS




Strategy :
1) trade on up gap up in the first few minutes
2) Trade ABCD

$ALKS
A failed first 5 min trade. Lost 863 for holding the position too long. I could have sold for profit.
I saw huge sell with huge volume on the first minute So I decided to enter trade. First entry was bad. I added two more during pull back and could make a profit but greed got me.

$SLS

Made a big lost for this with almost -$4k The whole morning was a disaster This is the problem of trading a choppy stock.After seeing the peak, I went on short and regain almost $5 and ended up with +$1367 for the day. What a nerve-wrecking trade.

NOTE: I do really need to stop trading without great signal and deploy high probability trade strategy.

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

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

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
