@kroyrunner What's a good indicator to you that a setup isn't working right now? As someone who's not consistent, it's hard to differentiate between whether or not it's a setup that's not working or just my skill (or lack thereof).

For example, I remember you traded the DCAR breakout a few months back, but then I stopped noticing them working. But that's the only one that I've seen in awhile. How do you know which one is going to be "the one" that works? (That stock didn't even have news that day, it was just hype about UBER and LYFT going public)

@ChanceStearns most important thing is having VERY clearly defined rules for your setup, when you should buy, when you should sell, etc. If you are constantly executing your plan perfectly but losing, it's a setup problem. If you aren't follwing your plans, it's a "you" problem

-$140 loss CRON Long Stock

Entry comments: I bought this former weed runner on little morning spike could be multi-month breakout if it keeps running into the 8s, that's my goal 25-50 cents/share of upside

Exit comments: It hit the key 8.10 breakout level, but couldn't hold it, now fading so I cut losses quickly, always worth a shot on Friday mornings, but small loss, GEVO was the morning spiker today but it moved too fast for me to chase

$250 profit EGY Long Stock

Entry comments: I dip bought this perfect breakout chart play from my watchlist, not the most volatile stock so it's only a 5% drop, but ti should be able to make up most or all of it by day's end today so that's my goal, classic http://tim.ly/sykesmorning panic pattern, just a non-volatile version, but still a perfect multi-week breakout play

Exit comments: Zzzzzz weak bounce, got up to 2.88, but I got a bit greedy and tried giving it more time which reduced my profits considerably...just not volatile enough of a stock and the overall market is just crap
