Ok, so I've been studying for 6 months ish. I guess that's not all too long, it's understandable that I could still need time to learn this stuff. It's super frustrating to see a lot of other challenge students doing really well but I have to remember that they started studying before me and everyone has different learning habits/time periods. I just have to keep studying and refining my plan.

The new plan:

Make watchlists for all kinds of stocks but only trade the daily break out pattern while I learn/watch more of the other plays. I'll set alarms on my software to alert me when a stock could be breaking out, I'll do my best to buy on a dip before the break out but ultimately will cut losses quickly, Mornings are best for daily breakouts and evenings are best for intraday breakouts. Discipline and patience are the name of the game. Sitting on my hands.
