We should all have such problems
 
Geez,

Watching your consistent execution everyday is amazing.

I know you are using Scottrade. How do you enter your trades? Do they provide bracket order type or you have to enter stop and limit orders one at a time?

Setup

* Two red day followed by a big gap-down so it pull back was more likely.
* Took LONG position on violation of 10:35-10:40 candle's high; stop few cent below low of that candle.

So simple and sweet ;-)

Confusion: it was not on the morning's watch list. Geez?

Setup:

* Two red days, not so much gap? What was the criteria - confused...
* What was the indication for going long from 10:15 bar?

The candle at 10:15 was a nice rikshaw-man and telling that market is confused; seeking for the direction. So possible strategy here was to go LONG if it breaks rickshaw's high, go SHORT if it breaks rickshaw's low :-)

Hope I'm right :-)

Setup

* This stock is rallying like crazy for past 4 days. Huge gap-up. Perfect combination for SHORT.

One minute candle chart can explain the entry setup (too fast for 5M).

Hi Geez,

Thanks for taking the time to write this journal. It's greatly appreciated.

I don't mean to be a pain, but do you still plan on posting the 4 patterns that you trade?

Thanks
