epic day. missed it all. i get frustrated when i sit in front of the computer for days and can't find a good setup. i think my edge has disappeared. then you get a great day like this that you miss. it is very unfortunate. any losses over the past two weeks could have easily been made back today. only one setup failed, RKT.

WTW: caught this one late. this had a gap of 1.4%, my scans only show 1.5%
AAP: was watching AAP turn over. never really saw a clear set up. I did see a clear setup in ORLY below.
FLO: entry. not ideal for me because the move back from highs was a V, I am looking for a U shape. i guess I need to be more picky. Plus, this stock atr is only .60
FLO: eod
GME: if this was a gap up I would have gone after it. because it was a gap down i didn't. but you can see the first bar is hammer, pulls back forms doji, then makes new high and pulls back to the 20 with the 20 rising. pretty good setup.
HLF: would have been a good trade.
ORLY: entry
ORLY: stopped out around .59.
PETM: i was watching this one as well but passed it up around the 11am mark. then the red doji around noon isn't ideal. i would like it to be green.
WSW: i think on the 5 min chart, this was a nice morning trade. i am considering seeing what happens in the first hour and half on the 5 min. somedays i feel like hunting for a trade between 11-2 is okay, but you aren't going to get the stock to move much until after 2pm. if you find a good setup around 10am the trade could be over by 11am.

VECO: I almost went after this around noon, but decided it was too far from the 20, even though it was very very close. Also, I checked the average true range, which was about $2 and this stock more than exceeded that in them morning. i figured it had exhausted itself but i was going to watch for a break of that consolidation area for a long confirmation.
ADI: This one I actually put an order in and immediately it jumped up. I thought I missed the boat. When it came back down, I decided to not get into it.also, the chart was starting to look a little whippy.
CF: Didn't see this until EOD
GPRO: I wish I had the skills to trade something like this.
SODA: another ripper that I was not about to get involved in.
SPY: i think the spy had a better chart than the q's. wish i would have seen this during the day.
TCK: Sitting right on the line. I would have like to see a more rounded bottom but I wasn't going to take the chance with that nice doji on the 15.
TCK executions.
