GOAL: My goal is to go back to being consistent. Fresh Start.

Reminders:

1. Be selective. Only 2 or 5 min buy setups or sell setups to the long or short side. Write up each trade.

2. Dont Chase. I have been chasing. will adjust hotkey to prevent chasing.

3. Wait for the setup to be A+. 2 candle pullback minimum. low volume on pullback, and as close to EMAs as possible.

4. Remember, stop, if daily stop -3R. Adjust plan, three strikes and im out.

Previous Day Health Check:

1. Sleep Quality: 32%, 4h 27m, Heart Rate Range: 66-80 bpm. Deep sleep did not kick in as expected.

2. Ate Healthy? Yes, per dietary plan.

3. Exercised Night Before? No. Probably deep sleep was affected by not walking night before. will go for 30 min walk tonight. see if that helps with sleep quality.

What I Learned/Improved upon Today: xxxx.

Daily Trade Summary

Traded 4 tickers, 4 losers.

Daily Results:

Win Rate: 0%

Gross R: -4.04 R

NET R: -4.35 R

Today was a red red. 4 red trades. The majority were on 2min BS.

I am still chasing. I know how to fix the problem.

I will change my hotkey to send a buy stop entry order on the break of previous candle high, risking previous candle low. I will send a range order upon activation risking my 1R risk unit. If i hit the button after i break out, it will convert the stop entry into a limit order, i either pull back into it, or it completely misses my trade since price has gone without me. this will fix my chasing .

The same applies for the inverse.

I need to be in the moment, during the pullback to see if i go long or not. if i have missed the move, more than likely i will not be filled. i will still be subject to false breakouts and breakdowns, but that occurs less often. I have had 8 chased entry mistakes since last friday.

Daily Setup Analysis

Daily Mistake Analysis

Trade 1: ASST

Setup: 5min BS

During the open, this stock was on watch from my scanners, it had good price action in the 5min timeframe. At the open, i went for the 5min break of the previous candle that had closed and bounced off vwap. volume was reduced. I believe its a fair play from my playbook.

Met Criteria: 10/10

1. 2min or 5min timeframe - yes

2. Riding 9-21EMA & VWAP- yes

3. Pulled into EMAs-yes (there were 4 candles pulling into EMAs, and VWAP at the moment i went long.)

4. At least 2 red Candles on the pullback- yes

5. Long on break of previous pullback.- Yes

6. Risked low of Previous CDL with Hotkey.- yes

7. Set Range Order 2-1 OCO.- yes

8. Followed through OCO stop out or full PT? Yes

9. Reduced volume on pullback? Yes

10. No ending volume present on previous push obvious? yes

Mistake Analysis:

None

Trade 2: PLTR

Setup: 2min BS

Met Criteria: 9/10-

1. 2min or 5min timeframe - yes

2. Riding 9-21EMA & VWAP- yes

3. Pulled into EMAs-yes

4. At least 2 red Candles on the pullback- yes

5. Enter on break of previous pullback.- NO. Chased Entry. 14 cents late near the ideal entry point. in hindsight analysis, even at perfect entry, 2R target not reached, would still have been a red trade. But, still does not forgive the mistake made.

6. Risked low of Previous CDL with Hotkey.- yes

7. Set Range Order 2-1 OCO.- yes

8. Followed through OCO stop out or full PT? Yes

Trade 3: GOOGL

Setup: 2min BS

I believe i had the right idea, price action dipped into 9EMA, bounced off, and went for the break . but dipped again, and stoped me out.

Met Criteria: 9/10

1. 2min or 5min timeframe - yes

2. Riding 9-21EMA & VWAP- yes

3. Pulled into EMAs-yes

4. At least 2 red Candles on the pullback- NO, but i think its not a perfect pullback ( 2 redbars, and then it rips.. here it kind of had a mix of red and green bars, interchanged. ) MISTAKE: DID NOT SETUP PROPERLY.

5. Long on break of previous pullback.- Yes, Chased the entry. late by 1 x 5 min bar.

6. Risked low of Previous CDL with Hotkey.- yes

7. Set Range Order 2-1 OCO.- yes

   Trade 4: NVDA

   Setup: 2min BS

   This was a FOMO trade. I thought i had already taken 4 trades in the morning, but in fact it had only been 3. I saw NVDA up, and saw a 2min pullback ( 1 candle), and went for the break. I immediately felt regret, because my play book says cut it after 2R loss for day, and i knew i was already at -4R (supposedly)… I should have cut the trade, knowing i was wrong in going in on FOMO. I thought to myself. if i win 2R, ill be just down 2R for the day…

   MISTAKE: FOMO TRADE, BREAKOUT TRADE ( NOT IN CURRENT PLAYBOOK)

   Met Criteria: 0/10

2. Mistake Analysis:
