Hmmm... I didn't bank serious coin if that's what anyone cares about, but I have a very serene feeling inside of me. I'm calm, my heart isn't jumping, and I was perfectly in control. I didn't really sweat over any of my trades and at all times, I could've told you what my exact plan was. This is me! This is how I'm able to put my skills to use. I have to learn how to process information more quickly though - this I'm not going to avoid. But for the time being, after getting stopped out twice last week, this was what I needed. I searched for the In-Play stocks and found areas to size up. I missed the SLV short but made decent amount buying it back up during that midday rally.
Tomorrow, I would like to make one additional change to my trading. I have to decide on a core that I want to work around from my initial entry to my target. For example, I'm not working the shorter breakouts enough. Let's say I get in 1000 shares at $30.50 in XYZ. My risk was 25 cents for 1 buck. If there's an initial pop of 30-40 cents, how would I react? Well, typically, I would just hold it and hope for that continuation. What I need to do is peel some off to reduce the risk, and hold the core. I can always find better spots to add the extra shares in... if that's what the stock allows. For the rest of the week, I look forward to just taking it one trading plan at a time. I had to grab my car out the dealership today so I wasn't able to come in as early as I wanted. Schedule goes back to normal tomorrow morning.
