SNDK - Strong out of gate but failed
EXPE - Fade the gap up on weakness
AMZN - Short on the big pop
WWWW - Reversion trade but miss traded

Amazing day, still not taking all the trades i see and paying dearly.
I need to trade what i see and stick to plan. It is paying to stay patient in winning trades and letting the bad ones stop me out with a 3:1 ratio!

Another big red day as stopped at max pain near lows
So easy to see hindsight that stopped out near lows for max pain when should either stop earlier and re-enter or wait for a few.
If stuck to targets on actual trades, would have ended day green. If took PT's as well, would have been green over +400PT. Let trades work, re-enter if stopped but sets up again.
XEC - Strong out of gate, stopped but missed obvious re-entry
SPRD - Why you must let winners run
GS - Study your mistakes. Too big of size and to big of stop and didn't re-enter on setup
DE - Gap up and hold
ACI - Great tight flag on daily, looked ready
UNH - Perfect rollover but turned into flag
AMZN - Perfect shake out on long that caught me
WYNN - Missed B/O
AAPL - Lesson of the day on buypoints
MUR - Amazing entry but sold early.

Need to work on sizing vs risk and to pull trigger
Small green day but missed huge PT gains.
BIDU - Strong out of the gate but took off 1/2 of actual target
XEC - Looked great at open but using stop saved BIG pain
CYCC - Memorize this bullish pattern
