9/29_ZGNX, HMNY, IZEA,

should give it a chance but didn't it rips crazy on stiffel 55pt grade. the best entry is perhaps $30 instead of 28.

hard to read. $2.50 absorbing and reclaim so I covered all turned out to be dead volume player.

same exact set. nice intraday and multiday HOD breakout but momo failed to carry thru. Disappointed action. It is what it is.

9/28_ZYNE, HMNY, AMMA

ZYNE traded it fairly well. great read, traded it defensively, brought hammer to it. overall I did alright except added toooo early and got squeezed a bit.
AMMA-no selling so Imma out. thank god I did it without thinking.
HMNY- this piece of shit literally got endless lives. Fucking unreal and killer comeback off wash. Really thought it was over but NOPE, it ripped all shorts apart.

9/27_HMNY, IMNP, DCIX, IZEA, NETE, VERI, MARK

Overtraded today for sure and threw some profits away but don't regret what I did, went into the trade based on ITUS's 2:30pm event anticipating "sell the news" type of scenario but nope didn't workout. At the end of day trade well and green on both accounts is what matters. 

+

What I am proud the most is I sit on my hands while watching IZEA in the morning and refused to short sub-vwap No matter what. This is the type of stock you need to short into absolute strength, meaning that breakout on surging volume action but don't be toooo early. 

VERI surprised everyone!! I got scared so didn't slam the bids but I did sized into HMNY. Didn't pan out. Ideally all these AI names gap up massive 50% or so for me a good morning entry. It reminds me of when DRYS got halted everyone smack the bids of all other shippers but the next day they gap up and fade away. So hopefully tomorrow is the day!!I am not afraid to use all BP if the setup is right. half near the top and half into lower high. 

9/26_IZEA, HMNY, ARDM_absurdity continue..

This market is ridiculous.... things go beyond rationality. the best is no trade, rather miss!!!I took hit again today, just being wrong again and again. long and short. Very frustrated and feel sick of myself. When absorption happen just get out!!! why keep holding???

idea was $6.50 washout long but it didn't workout so I used $6.00 washout long but price action look heavy so I sold all with $4k loss before flipped short. Again, nasty sub-vwap absorption happened then $6 break above then game on squeeze! down $20k near the top and got margin call. Every move looks weak and stuffy so I added to the moon without escape plan.

Nailed midday pops short but got fucked late day. It looked really stuffy near $6.50-6.70 lvl so I took short anticipating big red candle slam. Didn't workout.

crazy market so I longed it without confirmation. took $4k hit using size. Lost my mind.

the ONLY one I traded fairly well today because I respected the price action and exited when saw danger sign.

9/25_IZEA, ARDM, HMNY-$35K

all kinds of mistakes mingled together and I don't know where to begin. what makes me sick is I even told myself not to short before 11am today but couldn't help. Maybe getting short is not mistake, the mistake is after taking short position I didn't cover single share into pullback. The pullback is pretty large so they make me think it's over, it's finally coming down, it makes me exercise patience and decide to hold it all day or even swing it overnight.

from LOD to HOD so I thought it's killer setup. but it's toooo weak, no vlume sighing.Just remember the stock HAS TO follow your mental picture, when it break above VWAP and pullback, if long thesis is correct, it shouldn't be this big red candle weak and secondly it has to keep going and make new high but lower high.

again same mistake-Sub-vwap grinding action and clearly I saw $4.80 absorbing massive but didn't get out. took huge hit on it. Then I flipped long and when it touched $6 I was up MASSIVE but didn't take it!!! turned big winner into loser. It unwinded further than I thought so I thought that's it and took short for eod crack but nope it grinded back up.
Pain in the ass because again I broke rules and didn't respect price action. It's like you are standing on the railroad and see a train coming at you, you don't get off but keep standing and waiting. I was fighting it, that's what it is. I don't want to accept $4.80 absorption. in this market, big $ gainer, grinding action on volume, AVOID short!!!!!!

morning push and HOD rejection got me think this is the beginning of the end but nope it touched the resistance line I drew and grinded back up and I turned big winner into loser. Then it looked weak EOD so I shorted into lower highs action risking $8.30 but didn't workout.
This is the market that I best NOT trade!!! Rather miss!!
Main reason I took big hit on it was due to ego and emotion. I saw the danger sign, I clear saw $8 holding up BUT I feel bad taking the minimal gain because just a few minutes ago I was up massive and now only miniscular. So fuck it I am going to wait for pullback to cover BUT it never comes down. Straight up and HOD breakout and I forced to stop out. That's stupid!!!! I still let pnl influence my mind, mentality and action to take. Be like a fucking robot!!!!!! This is the market you scalp ONLY on the shortside!!!!Overstaying is the most dangerous thing you can do. Trading is easy. I think the best is to think of it that way. The stock has to do what you want it to do. If not, get out and possibly flip!!
RATHER MISS!
RATHER MISS!
RATHER MISS!

9/22_ARDM, ICPT, HMNY

post mania period effect continuing....
this is the period I love and good at, shorting into para when rejection occurs work out beautifully.

same pattern as AKTX yesterday. Chasing in the morning and sell off after buying cease and momo shift. Clearly the buying is not as much as AKTX yesterday. People slowly start to realize the shit they buy as more and more bagholders produce.

people died after overdose so this is the grey area. $20 drop yesterday so i thought it would morning washout and rebound. Glad I smash the bids after sensing heavy action(hard to get filled).
then I monitored the volume as bullish sign and get back in. good analysis and trade mgt overall.

after saw this action I started wondering what would I do today if I didn't cover my shares yesterday at $5.91. The truth is you never gonna know what you will do until facing the real situation. It reminds me of DRYS last month when it did crazy squeeze after Kalani got out. Just like DCvipor said, "fundamental frame the trade, technical dictates the decision"!!!
no selling, get out!! simple as that!!

9/21_HMNY, AKTX, VERI

another all-day-hold day....exhaustion!!! As soon as  mania period dies off I will take a break.

Imagine I have the ability to long I will have done so much better today. But it's just hard for me!! I am only comfortable long when slowly grinding action with set risk. this type of action I always think about what if a big seller smash it and I will end up in bad position. It definitely traveled further than anybody thinks. I shorted twice and got fucked. took $6k loss in the beginning. But glad I found daily resistance lvl at $12 and sized in from there and added to winner. Glad it worked out.

big picture trade idea, goal is waiting for unwind/offering news hit. nope....I guess everyone else has the same idea and it started to grind after it did reclaiming. I kept holding due to good average but again it's probably not a good idea holding full position and stop out at risk lvl. As soon as red flag/danger sign is spotted just get out. Don't stick around. do it before the herd!!! that's the key!

I am not good at trading it. I will just have to admit and accept the sad fact. Huge more than $1 spread!!!!! When it's not going my direction the slippage is massive!!!!!!totally avoidable!!!!! Not worth the risk trading it!!!! neither long nor short!!!

9/20_DMPI, CAPR, ITUS, PZRX_-$20K!

shit in my head since the starting of the day, couldn't shake  it off and kept sitting and waiting when the price action tells me to get out. Again I broke my rules and didn't respect the price is telling me. I have to admit that after $50k loss last week and mania action in the market it's hard for me to trade!! It's my weakness. In normal market you take short position when you see a bloody red candle whereas in this market it's a buy signal. Hard to adapt!!!! It reminds me of what happened in March.

DMPI-got momo and fueled by HMNY, ITUS and the whole low float turd mania market. I took hit both short and long. I took short position initially but failed to cover in the dips and held them thru the day just to see the vwap reclaim. Lots of absorption and stuffing at the same time and influenced by Nate in chatroom so I covered all in low $2s and flipped long but it had trouble break above $2.15. It stuffed several times and volume started to fade. But instead of getting out long I kept sitting and wishing it to squeeze. Eventually clear bearish sign occurred and I got out. Hard to trade and gave lots of people hard time for sure. Throughout the whole time it never gets new HOD so that can be interpreted as a bearish sign and short thesis.

paper cut but the heck when higher lows spotted I should have got out.

another major loss of the day. it did exactly same thing yesterday. It did morning squeeze then faded and trapped shorts then higher lows and grinded up towards HOD and breakout. Can't believe it did it 2 days in a row. Higher lows+relative volume="red flag" but again I sit and wait and got squeezed!!

perfect example showing that people are chasing in a blind mode. Any time it shows signs of either bullish it starts to get picked up. Just hard for me to adapt in this market!! Normally you shorted into 300k shares volume but in this market you MUST wait for the backside to size in or you get crushed.

can't believe it!!!!!! feeling gross of myself !! shameful for this pnl.

fucking scam!!!! those guys filled massive in low $2s then dropped the bomb(offering). nasty!!! it goes to LX21's tweet: pro pumper pump up the stock, amateur shorts stepped in early, ameteur buyers buy the top, pro shorts stay patient and banked!!

9/19_HMNY, ITUS, CAPR

people love this kind of market but not me!!!! You get your ass squeezed big!!!! The best is not to guess the top!!! The best thing I could have done today is closing computer and come back tomorrow

+


CAPR why the hell shorting when stock couldn't make a new low?!!

turned $1k winner into $7k loser!!! Unbelievable!!!! Should have cut loser earlier instead of hanging around and see what it does. Mistake #2: why the fuck I keep shorting it when it goes from LOD to HOD(killer setup) and break above HOD after 11am and grinding from there?!!

it saves my day!! thank God!!!! Otherwise it's a bloody 5-figure loss day for me. Feeling sick of my trades?!?!!! Why the fuck I hanging around and shorting after 11am??!!!!!! No fucking reason to do that!!! the gain is NOT worth the risk!!!!!!!

9/18_NBRV, HMNY, ITUS, ALDX, MRTX

the lesson of the day is "focus" and put everything in the past behind. I admit that i got tensed today due to Friday's massive loss and RD's account day trade call. But it is what it is, what can you do?

due to recent biotech mania I don't think many people shorted it today. Even if they did the size was relatively small. the stock kept doing crack and grind so I freaked out and covered and missed big downside.

holding trend and green so I stopped out. who knows what's gonna happen.

HMNY-I was bit early due to conviction shorts got trapped
ITUS-shitty setup!!!! grinding near HOD is never a short!!!!!! dips held several times!!!!!!!! Wait for tomorrow!
Friday's loss really set myself on fire!!! trading all day long like a manic....exhausted, not worth it!

great premature eod squeeze fakeout breakout short trade.

$11 rejected 3 times so I stayed patient but unfortunately stopped out and thought crazy EOD squeeze will take off. but nope it rejected at $11 and couldn't hold green so I sized back in. holding 3k shares o/n ideally offering tomorrow if not will stop out the rest.

9/15_MRTX, ALDX-2nd 6-figure LOSS!!!

today reminds me of what happened in March. the memory deep in my heart that I never wish to go back to what I had experienced. It's not good feeling as matte of fact it's painful!!!! especially when things in the real world is so messed up just same as your trades. I always believe one thing, life is fair, you made mistake you would pay the price BUT it's hard for me to accept it. today's MRTX's action tricked me!!! I let greed got best of me. I could have walked away green but I wanted more so I stuck around and refused to cut it at mental stop level.

when you are already down 5-figure before 9:30am it's a big red flag that you should size down dramatically or better yet stop trading today. In my experience I've always made subjective and emotional decisions when I am under tremendous pressure and my mental state is fucked up. Lots of and lots of red flags but I chose to ignore!!! adding to the moon premarket is mistake no.1 but after drew the support line and making thesis that it should stay below it but the fuck I didn't respect it is 2nd one! It clearly shows that it attempted to breakdown the support line 3 times and each time reclaimed and grinded back up. I put adds on each time and unfortunately the 3rd time it completely fired up@!!!!! I pounded the table several times can't remember it's also a bad sign!! I remember using combined 50k shares on it and that's more than half million dollors right there!!!! When you are in size on a momo name and it failed to do what you wanted/doesn't show clear signs of breakdown, it's a RUN not WALK kind of situation!!!!!!!!! Part of the reason was I got busy with ALDX and had frustration on it so I ignored MRTX's LOD grinding action and by the time I saw it it was already trading near $10 and we are talking about that I was up 5-figure near LOD just minutes ago!!!!!! so I stepped up and fought and paid the price!!! Again looking back lots of signs of danger and red flags!! the main problem is "SIZE"!!!! Had I used relatively smaller size I would have done much better!!! I could stay calm and objective and stopped out as I planned.

yes it eventually worked out BUT lots of headaches and frustration in the beginning. Used size too and down massive near HOD but got conviction and both technical and fundamentals pointing to the same direction so I stayed patient and nailed the fade. Kiss of Death candle in this case worked out beatifully.

9/14_BLDP, LMFA, TOPS, ALDX

overall I did well except IMFA's ignorance trade on daily resistance and casino mentality due to relatively tiny size I used. The others worked out beautifully especially BLDP's killer size add up to 10k shares due to weakness intraday action and over-extended daily chart. TOPS-size in accordingly and worked out well.

big opportunity miss on ALDX today!!!

killer setup!!! it reminds me of ETRM, DRYS, SPEX, HTGM!!!!
Dowtrending all day on 1st up day and closed near LOD and shorts see no reason to cover. Everyone was expecting offering the next day but nope there wasn't anything so it stayed quiet and grinded all day without going anywhere. I was trying long yesterday but didn't work out and took it off my radar. Shorts may rationalize and think what if offering today but nope AGAIN and that's when every short start panicking and fighting to get out. This is not the setup that happened a lot BUT if it happens the profit can be massive!!!!! momo name, heavily shorted, got bashed by famous names, from LOD to HOD, that's pointing me to the upward direction!!!!!!  But personally I have hurdle and I can't go long. Everytime I longed in the past they didn't workout. Yes this type of setup ONLY happen a few times a year so what I consider it "low probability setup" BUT the risk vs reward is superior and once it works out it workout out ridiculously welll!!! yes I made $6k today but missing on ALDX feels like a red day to me and TOPS's patience held and ATOS's fakeout breakout short. I took the ez money, matybe I need to step up the game!!! Not in size but have some exposure to it!!!!! if you want to take it to the next lvl!!!!

9/13_ALDX, MYOS, TEUM

Breakeven day for me. ALDX tricked me again. what a shitty ticker and action to be involved.
TEUM worked out beautifully thanks to experience trading it in the past. MYOS-can't read its action, when $1.80 bids absorbed and reclaim I really thought it could have a shot but the heck it got stuffed at low $2s. 50/50 setup at this point, not getting myself involved.
