Green day recap. Overall I’m pretty happy with my executions. Ina recent retro I mentioned how a quality entry can change my entire perspective on a trade. This is especially true in the premarket session.
Quality setups and entries are what I’m looking for. The difference in the stress that you feel during a session is completely night and day if you can simply slowdown and get a good entry on a quality setup.
SGBX
Started the day off with this one and I have to say I’m pretty happy with my entry. No I didn’t nail it dead top, but what I did do was wait for the move to establish itself and then positioned myself extremely near a key level.
One downside here is that I only put on about 1/6th of my overall position size. I’m starting to learn that I need to be able to find the balance of size vs entry into opportunities like this. I was hopeful for a push back to 2.9x-3.1x, but we neve got there and since SSR was on filling on the offer was definitely a little more “interesting”.
NIO
This has been a nice trader for me over the past couple of days. I think a key here is still that I could improve on my entries to be closer to the top of the channel. Yes I ailed a little too soon, but given how this one likes to swipe on volume I didn’t want to get too patient and end up giving back the gains and some.
APTX
I had a great read on this one all morning long, but that great read turned into minimized gains due to me missing the ideal entry around 9.45am, which then lead to be adding in what ended up being a sideways channel where I’m know n to get thrashed a little bit. On top of that I moved my target covers due to the price action and while I made some money I literally left a TON on the table and some.
I am happy how I sized down around a little piece and waited for the setup to come back to put some size back on . I didn’t like that I added into weakness down around 10:30 though. The goal is to not add into weakness, but strength. I noted this yesterday and this is still an area that I need to put some work into.
Overall I feel like I’m learning something new everyday and have been able to take some of those lessons and directly apply them and see the results. I definitely still have a long way to go, but I’m thankful that I’m able to see/feel progress
