Had a great morning as hit $VRTX on the gap and crap, however still didn't stick to scaling and left +3 on table from original plan
$JD popped up on radar and looked good so jumped in it however there was a huge buyer on the bid which looked like it was gonna spike down so took off for small loss. Price retraced and he dissapeared and came back so i longed again with size on the B/O only to take off for another loss as it failed.
Still green on day and my alert on $COUP hit so took too big of a position and got stopped to end the day slightly red. This was a poor trade.
And lastly, an alert that triggered but i missed was $BIDU and what a runner it was

The opportunity was Golden, yet my micromanagement skills prevailed...
What some great setups. I chose 2 great movers and allowed myself to rationalize micromanaging. I keep making progress in this area and then make the same mistake.
$AAPL short on daily looked great, intraday set as well.
$AXAS daily HOT! Great entry and loaded with size only to rationalize moving stop to a support zone and stopped.
And finally $SSYS on watch, alerted, and didn't take. Man i gotta jump on those.

Much better today capping losses
Only went 1-5 today and barely squeezed out a gain. Still working on proper sizing as i find when i get in a winner i'm doing well with patience, but my size is smaller then i'd like. When in a loser, i've sized too big.

I'm seeing Red, back to back max loss, and it's the best thing that has happened to me yet...
Last 2 days P&L wise has been a bloodbath. Hit max pain and forced to sit on sidelines for remainder of day. Most would think this a defeat however the last 2 days have been the most enlightening as i've drastically increased my size and have been working through the emotions. I have limited each day to only 1 mistake (the good news), but again, i've been making 1 big mistake each day (the bad news). As i eliminate this 1 trade each day, i will overcome my final struggles to make it to the next level of trading that i am looking toward.

Trading the setups famously, and now to really focus on proper sizing to bring this baby home!
2-4 today for a great green day, had great entries but need to focus on sizing correctly and scaling better and into strength.
$NFLX was looking for the gap and crap but took quick -1 loss.
$DYAX on watch list and started to go with volume. Great entry but micromanaged and took profits too quickly. I gotta chill and trade the pattern and enjoy the process!
$TRIP another great B/O on daily that gave a good entry.
And finally $EXPE looked great as SPY rolled this coiled tight. Took long but stopped flat

I had it. Got long $TSLA at open and got out too quick
Been stalking $TSLA, finally get in at the perfect entry and take off entire position at +2 instead of +20. Great lesson
I really liked $ACHN as well and got in too early and got stopped out only to miss a fantastic entry.
$MNKD looked great, long the B/O but rolled for small loss
And finally the miss of the day $KORS
What a fantastic trading day. I traded pretty well over all but $TSLA really hurt my psychologically.
