**What was the result of the trade, what happened? Loss. The market was gapping up in a parabolic fashion during Fed Chairman Powell's speech. I entered a trade at 154.65 with 50 shares when the price action gapped up with strong volume. I set targets at 155.00, 155.50. I had a daily pivot at 157.50. Price action hit 155.23 but I was holding for 155.50. Price action made a new HOD then reversed eventually stopping me out. I felt I entered late during the parabolic move price action was making.

*FEELINGS- Describe what you thought and felt during the trade? Feeling FOMO.

*EVALUATION- What was good or bad about the trade (what worked according to plan in the trade)? Good: Price action broke HOD with confirmation. Bad: The market reversed towards the end of Fed Chairman Powell's speech.

*ANALYSIS- Does the trade make sense to you now that it is over? Yes.

*CONCLUSION- What is the final judgment of the trade (draw conclusions)? I broke my rule of not trading when Fed Chairman Powell is speaking.

*ACTION PLAN- How are you going to avoid the mistakes you made on this trade? How are you going to make sure you get the same results the next time if the trade was good? Stay away from entering a position during Fed Chairman's Powells speech. Do not enter a trade when the stock has already made a parabolic move.
