Pretty solid day overall. Has been two good days in a row, and can feel myself getting a little ahead of myself. Need to re-affirm myself, make sure I continue to be patient for good entries, sizing in slowly, taking profits quickly etc. There were some mistakes today, while minor wouldn't want to be any worse. Would be good to have a small day, just to slow down. However, I can feel the market heating up again (for my niche setups), so don't want to limit myself too much.
Did some really good things today, and some not so good things today. If I was to sum up mistakes I would just say that I was a little too jumpy to get into things too quick.
(1) BSPM - Morning trade was executed to perfection! However the afternoon trade I pieced into it too quickly. never got the washout I wanted, but if I had scalped around position would have been able to cover some risk.
(2) CLVS was a simple short parabolic. Order size reset halfway through placing an order, so accidentally went over max size. It didn't really affect things too much cause I closed it out at breakeven (the excess size).
(3) GBSN - Just pieced into trade a little quickly. Was quite patient enough on short entries. Pop to vwap was perfect but felt forced to wait for confirmation (because just average not quite good enough).
(4) GBSN - I wanted to hold 1/2 the short position until the end of the day. Therefore I should have been prepared for a decent amount of chop on that half. It did end up closing at the lows, roughly 30-40c lower than I covered. If I had covered more into the morning washout I would have been more comfortable holding through that illiquid period.
(5) SRPT - I don't usually take breakouts. Not happy with taking the breakout. Although I did put my stop in the moment I entered.
(6) TBRA - Same as SRPT except it was a lesser disciplined trade. Not quite as clean and somewhat oversized.
