This was a stressful week. I did a bit of overtrading to start the week off and took a big loss on $RCON trying out a different setup than my usual breakout plays. My plan has always been to stay focused on the multi day breakouts until I got back the money I originally lost. Now that I've made back my losses plus the money I invested in educational materials I've been itching to start branching out and taking advantage of other setups. I managed to make $630 profit this week after being down big over the first couple days, basically a scratch. 

On the bright side, I'm still right near my all time highs for profits:

I think I did a good job recognizing my overtrading, and that helped me refocus and nail a couple really good plays in $NGTF and $VAPI. As far as branching out to other setups, I need to keep in mind that I'm not profitable overall with any other setups and until I am winning consistently I need to use very small size. I'm comfortable risking up to $1200 on a perfect OTC multi day breakout setup, but I'll need to keep my risk on other setups down around $50 - $100 for now.

I also need to find the right balance when taking my entries. I felt like I was getting worse prices than I could have on a lot of plays in recent weeks. So this week I was determined to be patient waiting for a good fill and that caused me to miss out on a couple plays, and get only a half size position in $VAPI. I need to pay more heed to daily volume as well, as I keep sizing up. I went too big in $MQPXF and the volume really dropped off the day after the breakout. This made it hard for me to get out where I wanted to.

All in all, I learned some good lessons this week that should help me keep moving forward, and I think that is one of the most important things in this game.  

Cheers!
