Performance Metrics
Notes
Big Picture:
What was going on in the market overall? What broader conditions or catalysts mattered? The market as a whole had been rallying and bullish sentiment all around. SPY just broke out to the upside through a H&S pattern.
Intraday Fundamentals / Catalyst:
What was the specific reason this stock was in play? Earnings, news, sector strength/weakness, volume, etc.The Stock recently reported good earnings and was gaining momentum afterwards, gaining volume and shooting higher
Technical Setup:
Describe the chart pattern. What were the key levels? Timeframe? Indicators?
What made the trade compelling visually?The trade made a new relative hugh and blasted through the 200 EMA, in fact all emas were now below it. I did ignore the long wick on the candle the day before my entry which showed selling pressure
Entry / Exit:
Where and why did you enter? I entered the next morning hoping I could ride the momentum but considering I just said hope, it was a bad strategy
How did you size?Im trading a small account right now so position size isnt a factor. It was like $300
Where did you scale or exit — and why?No scaling, I exited when I saw a bearish engulfing candle
Trade Management:
What was the plan?I didnt have one
Did you follow your plan?Didnt have one
Did you adapt to the market correctly as the trade developed? Yes I realized it was a stupid trade I had no business making
What I Did Well:
What did you execute like a pro here? The only smart thing I did was exit on the engulfing candle
What I Could Do Better:
Where did you slip? Hesitation, size, poor risk adjustment, emotional interference? I was chasing. Feeling like I had to be in the market which is a losing strategy. No real pattern, waiting for a pullback could of been justifiable
Playbook Worthy? (Yes/No): Terrible Trade, Never take again
Would you take this trade again? Is it a core setup or situational?
