Another forced trade - I was hoping that volume would magically come in and fuel the breakout. The pattern was right but the rest of the setup wasn't there.

I had the right idea getting in on the dip, but my thesis was flawed in that I thought - or rather wanted - it to re-test the HOD. I now understand that this is typically the bounce phase and should not have been going for the home run. Also there was a sudden massive short entry which screwed the momentum

Took a very speculative trade on ACST. I should not have entered to begin with because there was hardly any volume - I did not evaluate all the indicators - I just judged purely on the pattern. At least I exited quick.

This was a FOMO/frustrated entry because my order did not get executed at the first candle, and I was frustrated with my earlier losses. I lost my cool and made dumb decisions. Adding to that - I did not cut losses quickly. Simple self-control is needed and I tend to lose discipline towards EOD.

The entry here was good - but I refused to admit that I was wrong and cut losses quickly. I also did not fully factor in all the observations - how the stock felt, momentum, volume. I could have held it but I felt it was too risky and I did not want to fuel any hold n hope habits. The main issue is that I did not cut losses quickly and this fuckin habit needs to be weeded out.

This trade was good. I recognized the pattern, waited like a sniper and entered upon momentum ignition - I knew what was happening and I was ready, AND I took the single.

Again, I was trying to force a trade setup that was not there. I simply CANNOT assume that a ticker would run just because I believe it will. I can only react to price action IN THE MOMENT. And price action at this time was going against my thesis and I refused to budge again.

I was wrong in assuming that HUGE would perk up towards the close. I was trying to get the home run and not focusing on PRICE ACTION IN THE MOMENT. Price action went against my thesis and I refused to exit - this is a major issue with my mindset and discipline.

I got alerted by Tim on this trade - technically it was not an independent decision to enter. However I did make my own quick assessment before going in and I certainly judged the exit momentum well.

This was an extremely speculative trade - I had this false belief that ARLO would run towards EOD because they had good analyst reports stating a $6 price target. I must not try and predict what the market will do - ONLY REACT TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MOMENT.
