Had some luck with ANF, GOOGL, DKNG and well… a lot of small stupid losses that happen during market open when I try to trade or get in with small SLs without a plan. Those mistakes are in the thousands. I think what I’m slowly getting is that if I can be more rational about my actions and decisions then I’m good. That’s why I need to somehow tame the demon of wanting to trade. And yes, I can just stop trading first 1 hour of the day (especially without a plan). But I think all in all, it would make more sense (more rational yes yes) if I just stick with swing trading. Honestly, it would make sense to do so until:
- all the trades go through the form
- form has extra data to glance over when posting a trade
- there’s trades panel where I can adjust the trades (i.e. size, SLs) and also keep history of all changes as well as include lessons (managed via lessons tab)
- establish weekly process to go through all open positions, winners, losers, make sure all orders have lessons, conclusions (track this in KPIs) and then review product roadmap
- link order form with Schwab API
- pipeline (to view ST opportunities via sortable list based on R:R and EV and variance)
Basically, there’s still a lot to do for me. Been using Gpt4o-mini or something and Claude so that’s something I would be able to do it without. For what it costs ~40$ it’s a good tool to say the least.
Focus… swing trade only, go gym at open ideally so cannot trade, then adjust alerts, monitor with some coded alerts and then work on product.
