C C looking for bottoming bounce on former strong quality stock
Didn't wait for the best setups, just impulsively jumping in then taking very small stops when things didn't work out. Very poor job scaling out at topR to lock in some profit. This was still weak most of the day. In fact, being on the short side would have been much more profitable until last 2 hours of the day.
Poor use of 5M chart. There was a lot of good info on the 5M
1)
09:54
Le 64.93 -- impulsive chase on flag bo from 64.80
Flat 65.00 -- scalp it into VWAP
grade: D / B
2)
7 minute gap
10:02
Reenter le 64.87 -- now holding 64.79 on 1M
Add 64.89 -- pb after higher H 65.22 against 64.79
Add 64.89 -- consol .79 x .90 for 6M
Add 64.82 -- consol now 9M
X1 65.37 -- exit 1/3 into NH
Add 65.04 -- add back exit on pb to 65 area
Add 65.11, 65.10 -- double position agains 65.00
Stoppd 64.93 -- didn’t notice til afterwards that 5M chart had 3 consecutive down candles before breaking below 65.00
Grade: A / C
Good building up position in .80's consol
Good first exit; possibly take more off
Consider taking more off as it formed lowerL
Defnitely needed to cut size based on 5M chart, pay more attention to 5M chart.
3)
2 min 25 seconds gap
le 64.84 -- impulsive, rolling over
x 64.85 -- GTFO
Grade: D / B

x2 64.36 -- sell 45%, feeling dicey, strong pb after HOM 64.50
add 64.23 -- add back on pb; poor, 64.15 was S, 4 down 5M candles in a row
stop 64.14 -- lowerL bd
Grade: A / C
very good RR entry
needed to scale out more
Use 5M chart to avoid going counter trend.
