3/3/2021 SM 1000 15.8899 15.5604 -$329.50 $0.00A few course adjustments need to be made. I'm going to move to standard sizing. I was ranking them before the breakout, and weighting them. I think that's a mistake. It'll also prevent me from getting starry eyed, especially for irrational reasons (and one could argue all reason is irrational, it's just whose irrationality are you going with). I'll save the scaling up question for later (I'm also open to feedback).
I've been a tad loosey on the breakout levels. While I understood there would be false BO's... I was trying to prevent it too much. I did a good job of it on CTB cutting it as soon as I saw no movement. SIG was just a false BO. There's nothing to be done there, except reset it up. SM... That's just poor breakout leveling on my part. I was looking at supply that existed at a tad bit of a higher level a-ways back. I'm used to that being a consideration on an instrument that hauls volume. SM is not that. I'm resetting it up.
I'm still working on the BO levels for CDXC... Right now it's a bit loose.
I'm also looking at SOS for BO levels.
Side note - this many trades/day feels like my hands are more than full, even if I'm not actually pushing the button most times. It's certainly different that my base positional trades, which happen in-often, and are done during accumulation phases... the opposite of breakouts. This will be a good arrow to have in my quiver once I work the edges off. I'm already able to tie some ideas together for me to contemplate between the two. 8 trades in 1 day feels like serious overtrading. Certainly I can mange the number of stocks I look at in the future.

OK, just getting to this now. Checking to see what's has happened in depth. First up, EOLS
EOLS
I bought @9:34, 300 shares. Stop was at 13.12. It got filled at 13.1802, or 0.06 slippage (0.46% that's seems big, but maybe that's the gig on market orders. That's almost a full percent round trip).
The range on the 15M was 0.95, or 7.2%.
Combined I'm looking at 7.7% of the price (in reality the slippage is contained in the range, and I can and will use it to pull my stops in). That's certainly not the range I'm playing.
This was not really a breakout so much as a move to the breakout level. Volume did not follow. Which are sometimes BO's on their own. This was not the case here. It was followed by a down day today, after touching 14.72. Next breakout set above 14.72 following a cup and handle. I'll be looking for volume to follow.
I'm tracking range and slippage for everything including when it wasn't a breakout.
FIX
So far this would be considered catching the BO, but volume didn't follow... I'm expecting this to tail off and get stopped out. I'll see if it follows through tomorrow on volume. If not, then there are no institutions playing along yet.
B @9.42am. stop @67.17, filled @67.53 (0.54% slippage), range 0.99 (1.5%, much more manageable than EOLS).
The 1M had 4.8k (300 were mine) opened at 66.95, and I got the high print. Which also means I was the last to the table. 67.06+ is where the move began. 0.11 of play there.
Not too many participants for this one. Lets see what happens next.
The only real successful breakout catch so far has been CPE. The rest have been false. I missed on SM with shitty levels. It happens. I'll do more later. I added more tickers. We will see what kind of day tomorrow brings.
