Month feeling: Been I believe my most quiet month for trading since I started 2.5 years ago and this wasn’t due to personal holiday, but I believe my setups that I am tracking were just not playing, and i will never catch them all in any month, but even so, only 9 trades this month, I only feel I missed a few good setups, the trades I did take I am happy with, apart from a couple, but zero random trades taken, which I think is a first for a month and a massive improvement.
What Worked: 1x SGD worg with 1x win, wasn’t many about that setup at the right time of day for me and 3DS which was 2 from 2, but only small wins and even if nailed the 2 I took, not a lot of meat of the bone.
What failed. Took 1 RCT and failed, others were available and worked, but had my main patterns I was mainly concentrating on, so this is only a pattern I take occasionally, however FGDB I took 5x and won twice and lost 3x, 1x I shouldn’t of even entered due to lack of volume and another I needed to heed to level 2 warning and took a 3x loss due to this, as shot through sl and even the 2x FGDB that worked only worked small and this pattern certainly had a month off, as didn’t even miss any good ones, which says it all, certainly not been a month for multi day runners, plus many sketchy Chinese tickers popping off and these certainly don’t play by the playbook,
Best Trade: was $LVWR for SGD worg + 17%, this had been low volume pm, but had started to perk and sat under r/g before the 7am, so bought a little early in anticipation of the 7am spike and this trade never looked back and never went red, sold part before open as wanted to lock in and didn’t trust open, so when opened had finger on the trigger and sold quite quickly as had big spike quickly, which was just under my 2nd goal, but it moved so quickly, I wanted to lock in, it ended up not only hitting my target but went 140% from my entry, so plenty of meat on the bone, so a lot to work on, but was in the correct stock.
Worst Trade: ADVB for FGDB -7% this was not my worst loss percent wise (that was -13%, sl shot through trade) but the reason ADVB was on is simply because it’s a trade that should never ever be taken, it had traded 25k and was 40mins into market open, yep 25k, what the hell was I thinking, this was never ever a trade and I hope I never ever take this trade ever again, the only positive is after 40mins ish, I decided I couldn’t get out break even or small win even so price was around here, the split and lack of liquidity meant if I simply got out on the bid it would be a loss and to avoid a massive loss, which I have experienced in the past with RECT due to low liquidity, I took a 7% loss on it, rather than take the risk and have another head wrecking 43% loss
What work have I done this month: watched live every PMP with Bohen, occasional DD, but every Bohen Sunday night and weekday recording & Midnight madness, watched live all the webbys, with Sykes, Ellis and Jack, journalling every night via Claude and now I go through my watchlist in my journal as to why or why not a trade was taken, every trade tracked and plotted, setups in my playbook also tracked and plotted with charts and printed, still reading every chance I can get and walks too and from work podcasts, at the moment listening to B the Trader.
What have I learnt: The market environment has affected small caps so much this month I have felt and certainly feels like a change, however due to small caps nature there will always be opportunity’s, I am releasing I don’t want to split myself too thin and be a jack of all trades and by not doing random first day setups it will help me to learn my playbook setups better, this can be hard to manage mentally, but do feel this is coming on with only trading 9 times and if I took everything in my playbook then maybe this number would of only increased to 14 anyways
What do I need to work hard on: Learning my playbook 3DS and FGDB (hard when none about) but I want to be ready for when they come back round and 3DS I have so much to learn, especially regarding liquidity on these as often they get called low liquidity plays as it crosses over, also major rule change in the sec for $5 million market caps to be maintained above and if not 30 days and your gone, unlike in the past with 180 days to comply and then extension after extension, this feels like could be a new playbook, where more reverse splits and instead of pump and dumps, its pumps and maintains, but could also be more pumps and die and then they join Hirtz in OTC land, which will be great for him or could be something completely else, so I will monitor for now, as this is only my thoughts and I am open to seeing how these will play out and if I don’t see a pattern to trade so be it. So much of the same work really for the next month and keep working on my playbook niches and be ready.
