Idea to buy this around 40 momentum just flipped was a breakdown short which I really wanted to try lol but told myself don’t short weakness on a strong Green Day for it, lol, tried 2 buys I think just choppy holiday Monday mkt sideways

Same mistakes as yesterday, KNEW WHAT TO DO, good reading and planning, just not careful enough on execution of ideas. shorted bounce from 36.50 again too many times, missed short at 37.88, cut a buy short at 36.50 and cut buy short on CRCL at 100. BETTER NOT TO TRADE than to FORCE TRADES JUST BC I WANT TO MAKE MONEY, the mkt leads I follow and operate my ideas more smartly, we’re still fighting old bad habits, fought back from -175 to breakeven could have stopped

Really unfortunate loss of restraint today. EMPTY STOMACH. Just kept shorting into an area I know has lots of buyers aka support, and shorting into another bounce aggressively (entry after entry overtrading). Did not keep to a low loss limit 100, shame bc had momentum with my discipline, my reads, and a few ideas that didn’t take but ended up working out past few days, well expensive medicine 💊 don’t think I can make this amount back in a day after getting mentally twisted up.

Small size to ease back in after GREAT DISCIPLINE NOT TRADING SINCE LAST TRADE. Scared out should have STAYED IN THIS WINNER I nailed READ, ENTRY, just needed to not get scared out since the weak candle DIDNT EVEN GET TOO CLOSE TO HITTING MY RISK. Messed around with SMCI after coulda made big money there but found emotions getting too strong likely cause of going up slightly in it then giving it back lucky to end up with this tiny positive.

Top emotional state today (calm), did read, found entry area, put entry *just above what I would have chosen, then FEAR or losing small profit caused me to exit, dropped to 35, woulda been huge profit, nice slow moving play, building confidence so when on right side ABLE TO LET WINNERS RUN, taking this single

Placed trades two days since last trade day, both washes, SHOULD HAVE AVOIDED. Today couple great reads n ideas, short into 37.50 or 37 I think TOO SCARED to try entry JUST TRY IT! Buy idea around 36 needed to BUY WEAKNESS not strength was a great buy! $-12 in trade FEES (20 entries today) OVERTRADED! Great patience, observation, no huge loss day, no emotional or mental twisting/forcing or anger/forcing, all great improvements! Just needed more advanced operation/execution.

Great RESTRAINT Friday mon tus, NO TRADES! Mentality is I AM NOT PLACING *ANY* TRADES! None. That plugs the holes in the ship perfectly…until I can focus in on fixing each of my holes individually. NOT LOSING MONEY is JUST AS GOOD AS MAKING MONEY!! This cures FORCING TRADES bc “I need to make money daily” mindset. Scared trading, out in 1m earn win, ALMOST ALL BO buys failed me, so quick hit fight again later. Yes 👏

Stubborn lessons day, AGAIN. SELLING INTO SUPPORT INTO WEAKNESS. Apparently I haven’t taken enough pain to learn. Multiple entries mid day at 30, eventually it came down not before I got twisted almost -400 to -500, was really -230 max loss at one point. Scalped PL at 23 for a min win, tried CRCL short in AM at 64 into strength luckily only lost -20, and WAS RIGHT ON SHORT READ ON SMCI at 30 just needed to short a pop or wait a little longer for the bdown.

Of course qqq popped HUGE after I got out of last trade, knew it might, why I don’t hold overnight! YES 👏 NAILED ANOTHER good idea day, wanted another bounce short type play, 5 entries, 4 losses total -50, 1 win for 120 equals +72 on day. AGAIN! Due to built up losses, did not LET THIS WINNER 🏆 RUN 💥💥LET YOUR WINNERS RUN, knew this was likely best scalp entry I’d have to try today. Almost bought 63 before pop to 64, great reading. Earning call premkt reacted poorly.

YES 🙌 PERFECT SMALL SCALP TRADE. 1 entry today and only .58 paid in FEES! TRADE LESS MAKE MORE. Idea was could be a bounce short into long term recent down trend, qqq was at KEY LEVEL (700 ish), 61 is a KEY LEVEL sort of on this, SHORTED INTO STRENGTH (a one min pop back up into 61, and it also turned out to be a big OB (order block), smart money was going short too! So I was with the tide, FINALLY 🎯
