Day Trading SPY, TSLA, UNCY & BBIO: 3/6/23











DAY GOALS:
  • Focus on Intraday System Pattern A-C. 
  • Patience is the key to solid entries and to maintaining low-stress levels.
  • Focus on SPY options is priority #1.
  • TSLA options is #2.
  • Top % gainers for stocks is #3.

PRE-MARKET PLANS:
  • It Seems like SPY is continuing on an uptrend.
    • Might have a pullback for a potential call entry in the 402.50 key-level bounce zone.
    • Might have a spike towards open and a potential RZ bounce around the 404.50 area for a continued uptrend.
  • No high-impact economic data today.
  • It Seems like TSLA is sideways for now.
    • potential RZ break bounce above 200 (wait for retest).
    • potential key level bounce around 195 area.
  • UNCY looking like it could keep running marking levels for a Reaction Zone (RZ) break
  • BBIO also looks like it could keep running. Marking levels for an RZ break too.

RAW TRADING NOTES:
  • Frustrating, I missed my entry on SPY RZ bounce for calls...I had the order ready but messed up putting it in time because I had an order error on fidelity because they do not allow 0DTE. I knew that just selected the wrong day, and the bounce had already happened by the time I was ready to put in the trade. Did not want to chase, so it is what it is. Missing a solid trade has annoyed me because I was right there.
  • TSLA might set up for a KL bounce in a bit
  • Need to wait on SPY for the KL reject.
  • got in TSLA calls at the 195 KL....had my eye on the HOD RZ break on SPY, too but was already in TSLA within seconds of breaking. Of course, it was a nice RZ breakout that I am not in.
  • Market seems strong today...my luck, I'm in TSLA, and it can't even bounce!
    • it is an observation, though, that these KL plays take more time to play out...so I will be more patient here....starting to build excellent support now, so I'm not as stressed for now.
  • decided to get out of TSLA calls...not bouncing the way I want, and also, SPY is getting close to the KL reject zone, so I want to be ready for that....if SPY rejects hard will get smashed if I am in TSLA.
  • LOL, of course, TSLA continues to bounce...gonna be one of those days where I miss the mark on everything.
  • Will look to enter SPY puts around 407.50
  • It Seems like SPY is running into some resistance now...got in at the lower high...will see if it can reverse the trend now...
  • Sold my position into the RZ below... probably will take a while to go down, but I just wanted to lock in decent profits. I missed my mark today, so I don't want to have the idea of perfection in my mind just to get things going my way. Whenever I think that way, things actually play out against me, and small gains turn into a red day and, depending on whether I am emotional, can turn into a big red day relatively.
  • Things seem to be slowing down...might call it a day soon.


POST REVIEW:
  • I Feel sad and frustrated that I missed the ideal move this morning due to an execution error.
  • But also glad I could maintain a level head and stayed patient waiting for the subsequent setups. They were not the most fast-moving plays but were solid plays nonetheless. 
  • In summary placed 2 trades today
    • SPY KL rejection
    • TSLA KL bounce

Weekly Review: 5/8/23 to 5/12/23

  My Weekly Review Process OVERVIEW I started the week with little to show for it on Monday . I played what I was supposed to, but my thresholds were hit, and looking back, I got in too soon and sold too soon. Other than that, I was dead on with the play. It was more of a timing/patience game. Which is hard to work on when I am still trying to gain confidence. Tuesday continued to provide adamant resistance to success. I was 100% ready for opportunities, but the follow-through on my plays left much to be deserved. Nonetheless, I played what I needed to play and left it at that. Frustration was definitely building up here.  On Wednesday , more testing of patience and timing. I still need to improve in achieving profitability, but I am on the right track with my chosen plays. The opportunities were clear, but my mindset and self hindered my success. I see it more clearly than ever. Relinquishment will help correct this, and patience and mindfulness will help stabilize it. The day ended

Day Trader Behavior Cycles: The Foundations of Change

  Reward and Punishment Cycles THE QUESTION What Behaviors Do I Repeat? As I stepped into the realm of trading full-time, I quickly realized how psychology and specific behaviors can positively or negatively affect trader performance. Beginning trading full-time in one of the most hyper-inflated markets and one of the best bull markets in history, I witnessed very volatile and drastic moves. Having been learning about the market on and off for a couple years before full-time immersion, I was approaching the market cautiously. But due to the highly bullish nature of the market, it seemed my cautious approach was nothing more than a hindrance. As I started participating in the market, I slowly fell into a false sense of security. I knew this wouldn't last forever, but the opportunity was too great to not push and be a part of the crowd. People made lots of money regardless of what or when they bought. Those who held and hoped were rewarded handsomely. As the days, weeks, and months w
