HOD was 3.34, had some ramped up volume as it took a couple hours to get here prior. Was watching from previous trade earlier. Got in right at HOD looking for a push but it failed immediately. So got out quickly. Really watching my losses at this point.

MIDDAY game plan was to let it dip and test VWAP and $5 area as it did already twice today and get a position at that level for another push into 5.30s area as resistance was at 5.40. Hesitated a bit at 5.03 then it jumped up .5 on me so I got in at higher target then wanted. Setting real tight SLosses now so got out once it went against me and $ amount was close to $30. (Few mins later dropped to 5.01 and popped back to 5.16 then collapsed rest of the day so not bad to cut losses there)

It's been having these dips and pullbacks past VWAP and pushing back up all day long. Told myself to get in on next dip with push to 9.90 area. Wanted a more exaggerated dip, but I jumped in once it bounced off of 9.68. Hoping for a push past VWAP at 9.84 and into 9.90s area. Noticed afterwards, with such small size that trade isn't worth the aggravation. Has to be a better dip. Anyway it tested 9.77-79 and played around there so I got out once it started to trend downward here.

MY 1ST EVER SHORT. That $3 area was rejected twice yesterday and twice this morning, but they had .10 drops within a couple minutes. So I told myself, if it tested and fought that area again, to get a short position. It was a slow mover, but being that the other times dropped fairly quickly I thought the same here. It was taking a while and fought between 2.96 and $3 for about 15mins which was stronger than before so I got out just in case it did rip this time.

This is where my actual epiphany of chasing strength came in, not the one before this. Tried for that $10 push again and it just wasn't happening. Need to get it more on a dip and if it pushes past that $10 area, that's the bonus. Trying to catch whole dollar breaks waaaaayyyyyy too much.

It was making a move to HOD at 3.33, saw volume coming in and tried to get a piece. It slowed up once I got in and I had a tight SL @ 3.25, but it didn't get executed so out at 3.23. Was looking for a break of HOD and push to 3.40s.

PLAYED earlier and was looking for a push past day high and past 3.50. Smaller size cause I was in TLRA trade. Gave it room to jump back and forth a couple times but once it tested 3.50 again and all those sellers wouldn't let it push through I told myself get out at next fail and that's what I did.

REALLY slow mover here and I knew it, exercised patience but not enough. I got scared at this price cause it rejected it maybe 15 mins before then and wanted profit. Should've thought of scaling out again. Again, was trying to protect gains cause of yesterday's losses. It ripped right to 5.14 and 5.20s literally 3 mins after I got out and got to highs of 5.80 by end of day. Need to tier out more. (TURN OFF P&L)

GOT in from pre-market plan of $3 push. It consolidated for a second and pushed out to the teens then began to pull back a little bit. I was afraid it was weak and got scared out as it pushed much higher after pull back. Probably should've just scaled out of position right there and held more. (Need to get rid of my P&L cause I wanted to get back yesterday's losses)

TRIED TO catch momentum here to $10 push. (Need to stop chasing strength and this trade FINALLY made me see that, so only weakness now) Something my training taught me but I never really put into practice until seeing it for myself. It dipped to 9.30s and that was the buy area or 9.50s. It's been fighting this 9.80-10 area for days so why buy here? Either a breakout or a massive dip buy like that 9.50 target area. Need to be more patient.
