Bought this stock because of hot sector and its news after hours. Entered at the RCT entry, stock spiked a little, then failed and started dipping. Over traded today, which was exhausting and lost 5/6 of the trades. Trading small right now and learned what not to do. RCTs are not working as well in this market, so may need to adapt and trade breakouts, which are working better.

Failed breakout. Need to take profits into strength.

This was a sympathy play to DRCT from earlier this morning. Entered this stock when it perked up through the RCT level and it ran up to the $4s. I sold half when it dipped back down to the $3.80s. Need to sell full position into strength in this market, as I ended up taking a small loss instead of a win on this trade due to selling the other half when it was dipping. Learned that I need to take profits and stick to the RCT candle stop loss when necessary.

Bought this stock when it started spiking toward the HOD breakout level. Had news with NVIDIA yesterday as well. It was gaining momentum so I got it before it hit the level. It did not breakout at first, but it held and spiked up to the high $17s. It was starting to dip back below the breakout level, so I sold it in the $17s. Small position and small profit, but good lesson.

Bought this at the HOD breakout after it spiked through the level and dipped back down. This stock did not have a catalyst, nor did I have a trade plan going into it. Undisciplined trade that I cut for a loss. Need to stop rushing into plays and only focus on the right ones that I have more conviction with.

Failed RCT play. This stock had great range from its spike this morning. It also had NASDAQ compliance news from 1/20. I bought this stock at the RCT entry, but it quickly failed and started dipping. This market is incredibly choppy and only the catalysts with legs seem to be working when it comes to the RCT pattern. Very frustrated but learning what not to do.

This was failed RCT play. I bought just below the RCT level and I could tell on the Level 2 that a lot of sellers were coming in. This stock started dip and I cut it at my $20 risk level, which I have been risking on every trade since I sized down. The news catalyst on this seemed like it had a lot of fluff and was not easy to understand, which I feel played a key role in this stock failing. It now continues to fade. Good lesson.

Waited for this stock to put in an RCT candle. When it did, it started to dip down quickly. I bought when it bounced back up to the entry level and it continued to spike when volume came in. Sold into strength, as it went to the $9s shortly after I sold. Either way, this was a good trade with small size. Taking singles in this market.

Bought this stock based on its news regarding a $2B AI licensing agreement in Africa. This was a mini RCT level, as the stock was only up about 40%. Nice spike up the high $9s, sold half my position into strength thinking it could go higher, but then it started failing so I sold the other half in the low $9s and got all out with a profit. Very choppy market, so need to stay safe and take profits.

This was a failed RCT play. I entered right before it reached the RCT entry based on its news regarding their earnings for this year and their projections. The stock spiked up a few cents but then started to fail and slowly come back down. Sized way down in this market, so small loss. Sticking to my $20 risk on each trade until I find consistency. Lately, RCTs have been working with strong catalysts, so I will need to be more meticulous when trading this pattern in this current market.
