NVDA Trade on Aug 16, 2019 09:45 from kerobo0000: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Daily Report Card:
-morning prep: 7/10; was prepared for the stock but wasn't fully prepared for the market / trading day)
-distractions/distracted: 5/10

Rationale:
-gapping up +7% on positive earnings announcement

How much risk should/did I take? $2,580; 18% of NLV & risking a 0.50-1 on the underlying at time of entry (risk a bit high based on % NLV, but in line based on risk units)

Recap:
-entered in more size than I intended to, so I quickly took 2 lots of
-market was gapping up and holding w/ potential to trade higher - lower likelihood of a gap fill in morning session given strength of market

How could I have traded this better?
-standardizing my trade management to reduce the variability of results and ensure I'm maximizing profit potential

Gain/loss relative to expected gain/loss:
-gain better than expected based on how much of the move I captured
- adequately captured move if PnL is greater than or equal to (high - low / 2 * lot size) - from SMB video but based on memory, confirm this is accurate
