Trading Review: 08-15-2016


















Gross PnL: +$1348.

Net PnL: +$1265. This is approximate. Took $50 off for brokerage (provided a lot of liquidity), and then borrow fees for TWLO and ACIA.

Preparation: NA
Patience: 8/10
Risk-Reward: 5/10
Discipline: 6/10
Flexibility: 6/10
Greed: 8/10
Over-trading: 7/10

Today was a great trading day, the figures I've given myself for patience etc don't really reflect how good a day it was. Nothing really "worked" but with proper execution, and controlled greed I was able to profit. In terms of price action the day was remarkably similar to Friday.

The reason for the poor scores on risk-reward and discipline is because I was never really tested on the discipline today (because taking profits quickly, so never had to stop-out). There was one moment when I added to a loser on TWLO, which perhaps was a slight mistake as well. Risk-reward poor for obvious reasons, never crushed a superior risk-reward setup... But that's fine.

Flexibility gets the poor score because I probably could have caught a decent move on ACIA and TWLO but was somewhat "scared" to go long them. This was definitely a mistake - because I did have the read on them as well. On the flip-side of this, I recognised when TWLO was holding the uptrend in the morning, after it had previously looked like it was going to turn lower.
