Potentially hit the turning point today...
I felt like it clicked today. I forced myself to take all trades that hit my setup criteria. The one i broke rules i got punished badly. I sold out to clear my head, took a 10 min break and came back for the NFLX B/O which i got stopped on shakeout. It reset up so forced myself to take it and ended day at break even. I can eliminate the trades with no stop.

GOOG - Thought would P/B to previous day congestion so caught falling knife
RJET - Daily stair stepping up, intraday BO and chased a little

BIDU - Short the weak bounce to falling MA

Had one of those "Honored stops, got ripped out, and never got back in" days

Another day where if stuck to plan, would have been up big.
Going to start utilizing a better format on trades. I am unable to connect the lessons from reviewing. My journaling shows that if i take the setups and stick to R:R, i would final make the transition from losing to winning...and winning big.
FSLR - Great gap and go
AVAV - Huge gapdown that bounced right off open
CF - Long off break above intraday flag
KERX - Momo Rip today
FSLR - Classic Flag B/O

BIDU - Bounce play but stop too tight and hit to the penny
