I drive an old car, it works as a car I get from point a to b and haul stuff around, it doesn't collect data, record conversations, monitor my expressions, film me picking my nose while driving or force me to watch commercials.

Small red day, took a shot and closed up shop when it failed. Logged, review underway and no worries. #trading #options $spx

LMT(5R): Long the open, charts w/ logic and trade entry/exit. Still WIP on trailing logic and holding based on charts. Trading is a journey, it takes time to change our mindset and grow into the trader we want to be. It's important to be kind to ourselves along the way. #trading #options $spx

LMT(2.1R): Long NYO, had a few tech issues, made me a bit late for the entry but kept calm and waited for the trade to show up. Exit on volume and price stall. 1d, 1h, 1m and options charts for logic, entry/exits. #trading #options $spx

LMT (5.5R): Short weakness at NYO. Charts for logic & trade. Still WIP on trailing skills. Feels good to review logs, focus on mindset and stick to the plan with nothing to prove. Trading is a probabilities thing not an outcome, long term profitability is always the goal. #trading #options $spx

Keeping it real, broke some rules paid the price, logged everything in real time will review tonight and work on improving my mindset, analysis and execution.

No trades today, FOMC at 14:00 est. & other things going on. It's better to play the cards we want than the cards we are dealt. During days off, I like to step away from the market and take a break to relax and recharge. I'll leave you guys with a picture of one of our adopted cats. #trading $spx

Lunch Money Trade(4.28R): Short at open if weak. Charts show logic and trade, used replay on HTF to show what the bars looked like when I was preparing and trading. Mindset, analyze, plan, execute, log, review & D4D. Acceptance of uncertainty and risk is hard. #trading #optionstrading $spx

LMT(1.9R): Short on weakness after open. I left a lot on the table. This is behavior pattern I'm working to correct. Trading is 95% emotions and mindset. When we risk capital and accept uncertainty emotional regulation is key. We are emotional creatures that rationalize. #trading #options $spx

Lunch Money Trade (0.16R): Plan: short weak rally post 10:00. I didn't like NY open, waves canceling the other out, balanced supply & demand. I currently struggle with a few things in trading. Trailing SL fast is one of them, this is an example. 4.5 was TP. SL hit at 2.6. #trading #options $spx

Lunch Money Trade (3R): Short open after run up and weakness show. Had to be patient, after a few false starts. Waited for 50% of down wave and weakness in volume and price. Charts with annotations & alt text; 1d, 1h, 15m, 1m & option Volume = Effort, Price = Result #trading #optionstrading $spx

Bit of wave analysis from today on ES. Not trading just watching. Chart has annotations. #trading #technicalanalysis

Lunch money trade (4.4R): short old highs, target 50% of the move up. Charts attached 4h, 1h & 1m showing logic and trade. Annotations in chart and alt text. #trading #optionstrading $spx

Lunch Money Trade (1.8R): Short off the open based on weakness and increasing selling volume at (1d) hinge supply line during ETH and pre-market. 1d, 30m, 1m charts showing logic and trade. #trading #optionstrading $spx

Lunch Money Trade (6R): Planned short off the open. 1/2 leverage due to loss on 7/17. Weekend review of logs showed I need to work on impulse control. This is one of the harder parts of trading, waiting for the trade. Charts attached with annotated details. 1D, 1H, 1m #trading #tradingoptions $spx

Took an L today, battling the desire to make back losses. Cut my leverage by 1/2 after 2 L's, stopped at max drawdown I'll take per day. Logged everything in real time for weekend review and adjustments for next week. Losses are part of trading. Hanging w/this little guy rest of the day. #Trading

No day trading today, got an update Tuesday, my machine is almost unusable. Rather than FOMO into stress, focused on the fix. All is good. Taking the rest of the day off. Trading has 3 requirements for success: beliefs, system and platform. If any one of these fails, we experience losses. #trading

Thought I'd do some analysis on #SPCX today to share what I see happening with #SpaceX. Chart attached with annotations. I expect some demand at this level but nothing confirming a regime change at this point.

Here's my current stock port, I use Wyckoff's methods to pick stocks and manage trades. Mostly I trade options and futures on intraday and swing timeframes. Stocks are position trades, entry and exist are based on market structure and comparative analysis. Not Financial Advice #trading #stocks

Lunch Money Trade: L on 1st trade, lower delta, took a W on 2nd. Charts with annotations and trade attached. Losses are part of trading, study them closely with a clear mind. 5%/trade, 2 losses in a row D4D. 2 Days of max loss, cut leverage 1/2, log and review all trades. #Trading #optionstrading

Lunch Money Trade: 1D, 4h, 1h, 5m, 1m charts showing analysis and details for a short trade taken after 10:00 news. Options chart showing trade entry and exit. I try to hit 1:3 RR this trade hit 2.4R. #Trading

Tiny account challenge Lunch Money Trade from today. Slowly growing this account from small trades over time. The blue circle in image 2 shows where I took this trade (oversold of a supply channel of the NY open. Volume confirmed the reversal at this time. Image 3 is the channel on higher timeframe.

I miss the drive for efficiency, I just remember a different time when tech and to some extent business pushed for efficient use of resources for profit. Do the most with the least. Now "Maxxing" is pushed into every aspect of digital/business life. Chaos Maxxing is more like it.

First L for the month of June today. <1% of the account, trading each day, these things happen. Spent some time logging execution and analysis to determine where I didn't read the tape properly. Trading is a game of probabilities being wrong is part of the game, how we handle this is the edge.

Lunch money trade today. My bias was wrong this morning, I didn't want to trust the facts on the chart. The trend was bullish, noted in my analysis but I became impatient and looked for a short. Exited with a small profit on the stall and closed charts. Begin wrong or taking a loss happens.

If I had a trillion dollars I would...help the world and start by leaving people alone about their choices and then I'd stfu and finally try help people have a better life. These are some of the many reasons I don't have a trillion dollars. $1,000,000,000,000

Today's lunch money trade. Trading Plan: After 10:00 econ news. If the market holds the AR range high (737.70), take a long and trail stops. The market has created a base and a Sign of Strength over the last few days 1H. 1m chart for micro-structure If this didn't show I'd skip the trade today.
