Hey everyone! Awesome day for me! So before I show you my trades, I just want to give you guys some goals for the next couple weeks!
Trading can be easy if you know the patterns and know your risk vs rewards. But what comes into play now is trading psychology. EMOTIONS! You have to and I mean HAVE TO, keep your emotions in check. Trading with emotions can kill your account. So I will be working on keeping my emotions on check these next couple weeks. Will start by putting my PnL off my screen. I sell a lot of stocks way too quickly, the reason behind that is I watch my PnL when I am in a trade. When I see $50 to $100 bucks, I usually sell. Another thing I need to work on is going into a trade with a plan! By plan, I mean knows what targets you will be aiming for and also a stop loss. I usually go into a trade just because it is moving but without having a stop, you can really destroy your account if the trade goes against you. So I will be watching a lot of videos about trading psychology and will be posting what I think are good videos on my blog! Hopefully this helps some of you!
PnL for the day!
Here are my Stats for the day! - You can see that I have only been trading the first two hours of the day. That is only because the market slows down after 11:00 CST. Then I usually go to work or get ready for work.
Winner of the day!
$KPTI - You can see a nice intraday flag for KPTI. I went in long, and sold all my shares. Then on the pullback, I went long again, then added. Then sold the rest of my shares after passing $400 on my PnL.
