Stubborn lessons day, AGAIN. SELLING INTO SUPPORT INTO WEAKNESS. Apparently I haven’t taken enough pain to learn. Multiple entries mid day at 30, eventually it came down not before I got twisted almost -400 to -500, was really -230 max loss at one point. Scalped PL at 23 for a min win, tried CRCL short in AM at 64 into strength luckily only lost -20, and WAS RIGHT ON SHORT READ ON SMCI at 30 just needed to short a pop or wait a little longer for the bdown.

Of course qqq popped HUGE after I got out of last trade, knew it might, why I don’t hold overnight! YES 👏 NAILED ANOTHER good idea day, wanted another bounce short type play, 5 entries, 4 losses total -50, 1 win for 120 equals +72 on day. AGAIN! Due to built up losses, did not LET THIS WINNER 🏆 RUN 💥💥LET YOUR WINNERS RUN, knew this was likely best scalp entry I’d have to try today. Almost bought 63 before pop to 64, great reading. Earning call premkt reacted poorly.

YES 🙌 PERFECT SMALL SCALP TRADE. 1 entry today and only .58 paid in FEES! TRADE LESS MAKE MORE. Idea was could be a bounce short into long term recent down trend, qqq was at KEY LEVEL (700 ish), 61 is a KEY LEVEL sort of on this, SHORTED INTO STRENGTH (a one min pop back up into 61, and it also turned out to be a big OB (order block), smart money was going short too! So I was with the tide, FINALLY 🎯

Entered twice stopped out at 62.50, AS USUAL (the .50 areas keep squeezing lately). Two entries at 62.80 both little scalp profits to move from -85 to +12, could have held second longer came down to 62.20s but once I saw my breakeven I took it. Can still pick better entries by being more patient still, and entering into more strength

ATH confidence prior to two past losing trade days, lost it all, n missed trading days with huge volatility this week, why? OVERTRADING FORCING means EGO, not aligning but FORCING MY WILL, and mistiming shorting support, SELL STRENGTH, BUY WEAKNESS. Shorter weakness AGAIN TODAY AT 20, -120. Wanted entry 20.50 but FEARFUL so missed best entry of day. Overtraded 10 scalp type entires. Much less emotional n mental drain bc kept losses around $100, LOSS LIMIT OF $100 ish BEST now, SHORT STRENGTH.

Same lesson as usual, shorting at support INSTEAD OF INTO STRENGTH. Wanted bd read is weak and it’s right but even still at support after down all day is low odds with limited volume prior to 3:30, 10 short entries at support all went few cents down then popped up slightly, foolish for forcing this, I have a big problem still shorting at support and at less than high conviction areas n into weakness SHOULDNT EVEN BE TRADING THIS ACTION short then long entry both failed foolish

OUCH SETBACK DAY. Great read, patience, plan, operation of it JUST NEARLY MISSED the large chance (63.50-61.50). Not first time nor last will miss these. -85 to +130 almost stopped, then shorter all over the bounce then messed with SMCI short when it’s a buy and was emotionally out of control overtrading. Good patience, observation, planning, bias, just shy of execution, painful hurts on paper and ego and emotions will take time to recover mentally and financially.

Worked late shower smoothie felt enough time to observe n read, 8 entries short 6 stop outs 2 profits, should have held the one at 66 longer, but I know I need take breakeven when I’m down. This was and is still strong almost bought quick at 66 eod but mkt down hard so we’ll see off tomorrow good chance to make a play ion this we’ll see how. Very close to making some decent profits lining a few of these ideas up, just have to be more careful and patient still

Worked smoothie no time bc home late, mkt all weak this strong decided try shorting 5 entries around here-75 then took small scalp to be here. Premkt next day it’s up big so as I suspected buying was the play on it yesterday, even with really down mkt. lesson was AVOID TRADING BE MORE PATIENT on this ticker. Luckily broke even due to aligning bias with mkt or could have been much worse.

No trades yesterday great restraint. Today 20 in trade fees, way overtrading, luckily a few wins to offset the vast majority of losses, only profitable due to having right read, and a few well times trades. Started down -250, up and down to zero and 150 then finally nailed the main idea 62 ish bdown want more but ok for now. NO READ NO ENTRIES. *LESS ENTRIES, BETTER KEY LEVEL n HOLD, avoiding death by 1000 cuts, MORE PATIENCE, less trading, still.
