Quite an eventful day compared with yesterday. I adjusted my ATM strategies, and I like the results better compared to what I've had to last few days, but it was not quick enough to cut losers or too quick on profit during the high volatility of FOMC minutes and NVDA earnings.
I will adjust and have a dedicated setup for these plays next time that I can evaluate
5/27 Holiday - enjoyed life and took no trades and looked at no charts
5/28
Feeling refreshed from the 3 day weekend, took a stab at trying to let some plays work out longer, but each time it seemed my initial target was right at resistance and I didnt want to let it go against me. Rode some of the squeeze near the end of the day, and took a quick profit also not wanting to risk losing a good day.
Overall I'd rate my trading a 5/10 - happy with profits but trades could have been better. I took good profits, but could have held for more on almost every occasion. I was early on about half of these trades and while I don't expect to get it right 100% of the time I do want to wait a little bit more to see if the move continues. My hesitation to do so this week is coming from the scar of loses from last week and not wanting to lose again today.
After a nice relaxing weekend in Texas for a wedding, I flew back yesterday for a decent trading day. My flight was canceled and connecting severely delayed so I took advantage and traded in the airport, even connected with a guy next to me who was day trading Chewy stock.
I was quite happy with how well the day went, and it felt like I kicked my bad habbits and was back in the drivers seat - everything just seemed to click
Busy day in the office today for me meant less trading. I was mostly scalping the open for $75 moves on NQ. Tried to let a few runners go but was quickly stopped out. Just didn't feel like risking any profit on a rather poor day so I stepped away after that. Also tried some MOC and final candle moves for a few more points of quick scalps
