Friend's birthday, she wants to go hiking, so that's it for me. I made a good week's pay shorting POT off the open. 
First trade I was waiting for price to get to the falling 20 EMA, but it stalled and I suddenly realized it was going for a test of the low, so I jumped in late. I lost focus and missed the failed breakout signal to reverse.
Second trade, I used the 3-min chart for early entry on a counter-trend scalp, entered based on a 1-tick failure to retest the high. I actually had a 3-tick stop from my entry price, is that silly or what?? Anyhow, it worked. Took initial profit on the TL pivot, and final profit on the lower Keltner pivot (3-min chart). 5-min chart would've kept me in a bit more.
The upside breakout was so strong I didn't think there was a good R:R in shorting again at the falling 20 EMA (10:45am bar).
I'm going to stop posting my live trades unless it's a longer term play or a swing trade. I'm pretty ADD as it is and really need to stay focused. I had very good focus on my second trade. +$546 for the day.
Knock 'em dead, guys!
