Bad timing VXX is a sneaky little SOB

scalped a few cents before it was stopped

Off today saw weakness shorts in mkt tried fig won then SMCI lost then won it back so was up 190 mainly on fig. Stopped came back pm gave 4/5 of it back trading felt pressured to trade uneasy unwise line n lean fig short went 1.00 could won 1500 but history of losses out fast, trade less make wins count

Worked, showered, ate, waited til close as has been best time PM to trade recently (volatility), waited to get a momentum read for a small quick play, everything aligned and finally I took the trade that I aligned with the market on the stock most weakest in my list

But try, tried 5* times losses, bought PL few times at 40 into close losses, shorted FIG win some back need to wait til closer to close to enter my fault last few days down 1k in 3 days paycheck money go by by

Worked, didn’t eat, saw short chance, way too aggressive tried 5 or 6 entries causing this total loss outs. Had quick 150 first one didn’t take it then this happened. Worse, knew mkt was super strong like a freight train up meaning don’t short, but saw it and forced aggressively anyway, wrong, right read.

Made a good entry at the open then was stopped out and did not reenter

Stayed with a .01 stop loss and exited with another small profit

Letting the chart show its going to work, Starts working then VXX pops up

Was not sure how strong the PB would be, so I did a small and it had a strong PB
