Market found buyers end of last week with VIX retracing and continued to open the week. This pivoted sharply into the next trading day with rising yields + inflation, and political hold ups on the government funding to remain open, debt ceiling, and funding for the infrastructure bill. This is also ending the current quarter and starting day 1 of the new quarter on Friday. Key economic reports and the start of next quarter's corporate earnings report will be of attention going into 1H22 where bond tapering and interest rates are expected to be adjusted to rise.

Technical Analysis
Day 2
Trade Setup/Execution Grade + Risk (risk:premium) + Positioning + Size/Allocation Management & Review
(A/B) setup / (B) execution. 1/.05RP moderate dynamic positioning, 13% - 7% allocation. This was a working playbook setup that showed a notable change in character on the 2nd day. I had scaled out of the position to manage risk in the event if the market had continued weakness. Day 2 was had a notable sympathy effect from peer industry earnings. This was seen across multiple names. In a future event I could scale less out. I also need to recognize the individual's ATR movement. Overall risk was managed in-line with some opportunity left on the table to cover risk. Keeping in mind smaller positions in higher volatile environments.
Weekly Trading Review
Overall this week provided notable insights on my expanding + adapting positioning. I did not think this week would provide a lot of opportunity due to the corporate calendar and end of the quarter close. This was exactly opposite of my thoughts and I was ready to adapt and execute trades if the market provided them.
Monthly Trading Review
Since updating, adapting, and expanding my playbook this month has shown notable performance in my trading. Key was to keep doing the research/homework as if the corporate calendar was in full earnings swing. There are still opportunities and there is also ways to expand playbooks and continue to build on them. Continuing to do so and manage risk and keep the playbook open. Grateful to be entering the last quarter of the year with renewed open-mindedness continuing to learn and now network and provide insight to the trading community when it makes sense. This will be key to continue to expand perspective and business.
