*Month Recap: What a shit show this market has become! I could really feel the shift towards an almost complete algorithmic environment. Moves have been happening to trap whatever ‘real’ traders are left. The up and down moves, once in a play, have been just ridiculous. Other than the ‘at the market open’ trades, it seems as though as soon as I enter a play, the algos are set to immediately slam to the opposite side to flush. This shift of price action has really been noticeable this month, and seemingly getting worse. To combat it, I’ve been trying to work on new tickers and steer clear of my ‘go to’ tickers due to lack of volume. October started out really well but was put on halt week 3 due to a work trip. I was gone all week from the 17th-21st and it really showed P&L wise. I’m going to cut myself down to trading with extremely small size or no trades at all in the future when I do trade away from home. Super frustrating. Market has been re-testing bottom support levels now in November due to the Fed continuing to push an aggressive agenda to combat inflation. Crypto seems like it wants to make a move as it has been holding up really well compared to the overall market. We’ll see if my crypto based tickers can hold and make some moves. “Motivation is what gets you started. Discipline is what keeps you going.”
