Here's a day trade I took that FAILED.
COULD'VE flipped positions, turned the LOSER into a WINNER & gone long based on the #SSS50PercentRule BUT I wasn't at computer.
I had a contingent option order programmed for my stop & take profit.
🤏 Loss $35
Gain potential was like ^6x
KEEP RISK & LOSSES SMALL!
TOS offers contingent orders u can program based on the UNDERLYING PRICE. These are GREAT for people who can't be there to execute or who like to sleep in.
The executions were 🤌
Hindsight! I SHOULDN'T have taken this trade BECAUSE we haven't had any corrective activity (2up aka bear flag) since the pop on 4/4.
This was basically a continuation trade 🤮 that I didn't notice at the time. I see it now & it's a potential PMG play! 🤦
Oh sorry, these are contingent MARKET orders, not limit orders.

Getting some corrective activity.
Need to break above 14036 for an hourly TTO on NQ. Then maybe they will sell it off EOD for the long weekend. We shall see!
Didn't get the hourly 2up, instead stayed inside, new hour, new setup. Just got a 212 bullish reversal. Not looking short until we get a 2 down on the 30 min time frame at a minimum.
No position.
Gotta run to the grocery store. May hop on #YouTubeLive when I'm done & take some chart requests. We'll see. I'll keep ya posted either way tho!

I found it helps keep the bots and loser haters out lol/
Well this ain't happening. Had a hypoglycemic attack in the grocery store. I had to smash some unpaid for chocolate before I passed out.
I need to eat & relax. Sorry everyone.
Contest!
Draw the 1 hour broadening formation on #ES_F!
The FIRST person to replicate what I have drawn will get a free coffee mug courtesy of @tradingview
@tradingview Okay, tons of beautiful broadening formations. Timing out the contest to see who the winner is! Great job everyone!
Proud moment.
The first 2 yrs of my trading career I literally just held my head above water & wasn't making any real $.
EVERYTHING I bought went on my credit cards for 2 yrs straight!
I racked up so much debt. I had faith I'd be okay down the road.
I refused to take any $
out of my trading acct bc I didn't wanna lose my PDT status. When I started FT in 2018 I had near perfect credit, by 2020 it was wrecked along w my pride. I maxed out 5 credit cards. My trading improved a ton in 2020 & I've been working hard to pay off the debt & high interest.
I haven't used a credit card in over a year. I'm happy to say, my credit score is back, I've paid off 70% of my debt while still paying my bills & saving money. I will be debt free this year!
I will NEVER forget the overwhelming feeling of debt & defeat.
Smell ya later debt! 👋
