bought at the start of the new 5 minute candle after big down volume. nice retracment to the ema
















bought after retracement to the ema. nothing happening
















trying to buy after the hammers.

































wow, how did i miss that hug of the ema. i shorted at the end of the day when the market started collapsing. i thought one of the weakest stocks on the day would go down, ha, guess not.
































fib retracement
















i waited to short until after that green bar retracement from lows i shorted some more. yes that wick is real. then because my avg price was much lower, i covered early even though my orginal stop of .07 would have been fine. i believe i have to put on all my shares at the beginning. averaging into winners is a good practice, but it has a strong effect on the avg price.
















bought after the hammer. didn't work out.
















nice doji, big volume.
















hammer big volume.
















hammer big volume. multiple time frame confirmation.
















stopped out on a trailing stop. i was trying out the trailing stop for the first time. i wish i would have given it more than .20. i will know how to set it up better next time.
















shorted against .50. then i covered and went long when it was hanging in the .45 and went long. i discovered something interesting today though. i learned about the ECN book. there was 300,000 offer sitting on the books at BIDU at .50. it would take a shit load of buyers to get through him. i am going to watch the book more closely.

today was a rough day for me. it is one of the days where i question if i have any idea what i am doing, or any business being in the business. although after reviewing the trades, i don't feel as down. i had some trades that if worked better would have been great trades.

i also am not going to look back at trades and say would have could have. i was reading that doing that is "being right" by "being wrong".

i am really starting to focus hard on the visualization process. in fact, i fell asleep last night watching my PnL in my head go to $5000, yeah come on!
