Hit daily target even with most losers today by cutting quick and letting winners run.
I'm learning that not only by cutting losers quick and letting winners run, also to ADD SIZE ON HIGHER PROBABILITY SETTINGS, such as flag/pullback to rising MA for the 1st time.
LVS - Long on breakout but took off flat as didn't go right away
CSTR - Long on breakout and took off tiny loss as didn't rip like should
AMZN - Short fail but missed the high prob long
FSLR - Long off pullback to 50MA
BIDU - Great short tell

Another huge day pushes me just under weekly target hit
Tough week, Monday through Wednesday were red days for me. I'm really working on staying focused and view each trade is it's own and not bring the baggage in from the previous day. Here are the trades today:
BIDU - Short at previous day high
SNDK - Long on break of base
PPO - Short chase that worked
AMZN - Breakout play minor
BIDU - Short at previous day high
PPO - Short chase that worked
AMZN - Breakout play minor

3rd red day in a row, but small loss. Trying with no emotion
My losing trades seemed like good trades and were managed well so no regrets. Only slightly red today but emotions of frustration where strong. Need to check myself.
BIDU - Short on obvious roll for quick gain
AMZN - Trading the previous day range, opened inside previous range, so should have looked to short a rejection of the high
VMW - bounce off rising MA
