Trades I took today that worked / didn't work and what I did wrong:
- SNOW 300C near open on push past 300. Profit
- ZM 350C on open over 350. Profit
- BIDU 160C on first break of 156. Profit
- SNOW 300C on reclaim of $300 and 5 minute 8 EMA. Big profit
- QQQ 373C tick fade. Profit - played 3X
- QQQ 373C on trying to catch a bottom. Big mistake, loss, I know better. -40%
- CRWD 280C - two scalps, one worked, one didn't, basically a wash
- ZM 360C - entered right before the intraday puke. It never recovered and I'm holding as a lotto until tomorrow given it lost 75% of its value in 10 minutes
Net for the day - green, but would have been a great day if I didn't have the QQQ screw up.
If you guys want, I can try to post some of my intraday stuff, but I am mostly worried about my own execution (buying over triggers), baby sitting 1 minute candles, etc. I enter each trade with a plan, but I adapt my goals based on the price action (e.g. do I give it room if it loses the 8 EMA because I think it will recover or does it look heavy to me and I cut).
I can't take responsibility for your execution.
You don’t trade for money, you trade for freedom.
