You exercised great discipline in mindfulness yesterday. You took no trades yesterday because the SPY was trading inside its previous day's range pre-market, which had made trading less likely for you.
I was watching APRN for a gap and go scalp above resistance around $3.80, but it hesitated to move above that level, so I didn't take the trade. APRN ended up moving about 50 cents, so you missed out. Maybe you could have gone for a scalp, not sure, but you would have had to have been quick.
The market today was very heavy with sellers later in the day, so no trades. None of the other stocks looked good, CATB was too choppy with hidden sellers, AQMS was too much of a grind upwards with news about how it was being sued with heavy resistance at 2.90, so there was not a good entry on the chart patterns.
Today, on February 14, I took a quick 18 cent scalp on NSTR, a pre-market gapper, right out of the open. This was a 2-second trade that made me $77.26! Good start of the day.
