Technical Analysis
Trade/Risk Management & Review
I'm going back to my technical + price action roots. This is an A+ setup in my playbook. A HTF breakout trade on the daily, weekly, and monthly with elevated volume. Strong name in a strong sector and strong market regime. I have a decent size in my trade and acceptable risk. I scaled back the original position in half due to recent performance but potential reward here is still great. It has more to do with my newer style of building vertical spreads vs. straight selling options. My risk is better managed but probability is less. I feel like I should be continuing to work this way as this is what is going to be more sustainable and scaleable in the longer-term.
Closed and scalped the trade with about 20% profitability overnight. It looked as if there was more risk to the downside seeing the opening stuff and consolidation trading under vwap.
Grading this trade as a B managing risks and with the goal in mind for income and not necessarily nailing the whole move. Re-allocated the capital to a better trade following this. The other option was to reposition the trade but will see how this develops along with the markets.
