Riding out this losing streak like a man!

Went 0-3 today, cut back risk as i see plays running, but missing them and finding the ones i'm getting in are rolling over.

Weekly Watchlist

Had a tuff week last week as went red all 5 days.  Monday/Tuesday kept the losses well below my max pain as had 1 winner that erased 6 losers.  But then false B/O after false B/O got me in and ripped me out hitting max pain Wednesday and Thur/Fri combined hit max pain.  Needless to say, since i've raised risk i thought it was more emotional, however in review most setups looked legit to me and just didn't work out.  Here's whats on for this next week and game plan is to keep the added risk on, but will look at having tighter stops in case the market rolls as last week may have been a preview with failed B/O.

Here's the list:

Most are longs (which i still feel i'm biased short) and only a few short so will keep my bias at bay and look to trade what setups i see.  I have my alerts set.

BTW:  Here's an example of what most my trades looked like this week when i got stopped:

The house of PAIN

Another day of not a single winner.  Ended 0-5 and experiencing a tremendous drawdown in the ol trade account.  The crazy thing is, in my review the setups look legit when i enter them.  Today i'm posting screen shots of where i entered which to me reinforces great patterns, just didn't work out.  I am do for a frickin HUGE winner soon!!!!!!

0-6 Today and had to leave the battle wounded and bloodied

Wow what carnage.  They looked like great setups to me at the time but i was either too early, or they just didn't work.  Survived to fight another day.

Great morning deep in the green, only to oversize on the last trade to end slightly red

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.
