Chapter 1 Trading journal #25 - 02/12/2019 +$65 “Green Day with a lot of mistakes. Could have been +$200.”
3 min readOct 11, 2022
Day overview:
- I usually don’t concentrate on money, but today it was so obvious — If only I was patient I could have made $200
- If only I was staying away from obvious mistakes I could have had $100
- Instead here is $65 for me. Lol
- Entries, Sizing, and re-ads are the holy grail of my trading. I should teach myself to be able to concentrate on it 100%
$PTI +$11.01
- Made a lot of mistakes here
- First of all, should have recognized that the stock is crazy and gotten out on 4.
- The biggest mistake here I didn’t add on the first backside consolidation below all the volume
$SPI +$25
- Should have held it here, at least 1/3
$TRVN +$6.50
$CRMD -$35 Why the F… Short a perfect long setup???
The biggest problem here was that
a) This was a perfect long setup
b) If so> Do not add, do not hold> even if you want to go counter trend > cover 100% = scalp!
$EKSO + $0
- Gave it a chance, covered some, and got stopped out for break even
$VKTX +$57 — The best opportunity of the day. MoneyG called it out!
- Here I started with the small size. Got stopped out, saw the rejection, and basically got the full size.
- The biggest miss here was Backside consolidation
