I'm going to be real. I totally followed Tim's Sykes alert on GYLC earlier this week. I caught the alert and got in around 1.69 and held overnight into next day. Thank you Tim. I did make sure to vigorously study the pattern and even went back into older video lessons to learn more about the multi-month/week/day breakouts. I hope my sins have been forgiven. I got another dead bounce short opportunity with UIHC but it sure was dead because it did not drop as fast or as low as I though it could go. I'm always being sure that I'm entering trades with at least 2:1 Risk/reward ratio. I'm being really disciplined with having a trading plan and executing my plan. I'm still going to trade small because I really don't think I've been tested to cut losses quickly. MOST of the trades I'm taking have been very generous to me and I really haven't had to fight these trades it feel. So it could be a balance of trading well and a bit of grace but yet I'll been able to avoid losses and don't think I've practiced enough losses. I'm going to give it at least another month for now. If I start trading like fire than I'll consider throwing a few more K's into the account and dial the $risk up by a small amount. I think I'm doing well with planning trades and executing the trading plan. I can get better at making daily watchlists and making future plans should things become a familiar set up. I can improve my trading I think I am going to shift my focus to shorting afternoon crashes on one-day nasdaq spikers we've been seeing. Like UUU, RSLS, APGN, MVLA, OKYO, IBIO, QBIO, VERB, VS, the list goes on. I guess this is the dark side that Tim refers to. I need to try it out. I've been so long biased for so long and haven't had a lot of success so why continue something that hasn't been working for you. Looking forward to the 4-day trading week I could use an extra day without stock market.
