7/31

 

SERV…levels are important but tickers will tell you which ones are more important if you’re reading the chart right…15 was G/R whole number key zone…matters more than LOD…turned out to a decent bounce today…still shaking the rust off…getting my stamina back

 

8/1

 

EVGO…tempting…E/W breaking out of recent highs…but don’t wanna get too degenerate just yet…could be an O/N…Glad i waited…

 

8/2

 

Impressive bounce on SERV of support zone…borderline P D/B but I wonder how much of the bounce is just shorts covering…defo wasn’t thinking about it at the time…slowly rebuilding the knowledge…

 

8/7

 

Play when R:R is highest…not when you think win % is gonna be highest…R:R can be measured in a more objective manner and being objective is important in this field…

 

Timing was seconds off to try a short on SERV…nothing has changed…

 

Because my numbers say I’m best at swing shorts…I gotta be extra patient and disciplined…keep the big picture in mind…

 

8/8

 

Whenever a ticker reaches a key level/zone,,,ask yourself…is the trend changing?

 

Is fighting consolidation the same as fighting the trend? Or is fighting consolidation more so a indicator of impatience…

 

If I’m playing #6 how many uptrends would I have to realistically sit through to follow my plan to completion?

 

8/9

 

MGOL…what is it really that prevents me from taking the play…Sure its all rooted in not wanting to lose/not wanting to be wrong…but what’s the layer…not wanting to sit through chop? Still midday? Just not being convinced by the price action? Being scarred by previous sus names and being shaken out? If I know the root and just fight it…understand no one trade is the end all be all…is that enough? Did/is making the move now…is this gonna create FOMO?

 

8/12

 

Getting the SERV move now…Looks pretty painless…Wasn’t even an uptrend when I cut…Just consolidation…noted…Always gotta keep the big picture in mind…

 

8/13

 

GNLN…nice move…defo something I’d like to take advantage of in the future…gotta track it…

 

SERV…defo trying…just didn’t have the patience…ultimately the move I planned for never happened…but there was some meat still…how do I analyze this? The gap defo plays a part…the opening candle too…just gotta be careful with my expectations…staying fluid…

 

8/16

 

I think the market is a good barometer for how you should set expectations for moves…If your bias is in line with the market trend the possibility for more meat is defo plausible but oppositely if your bias is going against the market the possibility for less meat is very likely…

 

8/19

 

Defo a missed opp on CING chasing the shiny object GOVX…Could say the same about APDN…impressive move there…

 

I’m toying with the idea of focusing on swing shorts specifically on Mondays…

 

Using the 15m over the daily to determine where I think a name is on the framework is an interesting perspective…

 

8/20

 

First time for everything…waking up at 2am to make 1K…

 

That being said though I’ve taken the rest of the day easy and CING w a nice #5 and #6…more midday but defo some opp there…APDN looks to be setting up to #5 too…

 

8/21

 

Late on GOVX #5 entry…planned well enough…gotta trust myself a little more…we are doing at least a little predicting after all…Defo wasn’t anticipating it to follow VRAX this much though…

 

8/22

 

It’s hard not to see the similarities in today’s actions compared to Monday’s on GOVX…trust…fair enough…let’s see how closely it follows Monday’s action…

 

8/23

 

A lack of sellers is similar to a extreme amount of buyers…

 

FFIE GDC nice para short opps…I’m too preoccupied watching GOVX…

 

GOVX..could defo dump even more…the day after action hasn’t been the same…

 

8/28

 

Interesting morning…FFIE had my attention for a breakdown but I didn’t plan for it…I planned for a continued bounce…Also watching GDC for a #2 and I did plan for that…I ended up playing both but I am glad I played GDC even for a loss…Planning is essential in this game and if you can’t trust your planning then you’re setting yourself up for failure…

 

VRAX…beautiful fade…should’ve been paying attention to GOVX…
