Swing trader. Tight entries intraday, risk management non-negotiable, knowing when to press the gas is key! My trading journal.

$TSLA ripping after everyone sold and brought $SPCX is a perfect example of how the market loves to make everyone look a fool.

Not sure why everyone's worried about the markets, we can all be janitors in Adin Ross's GTA 6 server next month anyway.

Feels like everyone is either playing for a mean reversion long or waiting to short into the overhead moving averages. Wouldn't be surprised to see a flush that shakes out the longs and lets shorts pile in before we get some sort of bounce. Just thinking out loud, not a prediction, but would be nice to see.

Last time institutions brought $TSLA on every dip we ripped +50% higher in a matter of weeks.

Trading's strange because there's almost nothing else in life where you can do less and get more reward. Going to the gym for example takes discipline and consistency, turning up every day and putting in the work. The more you do, the more you get back. With trading, you're forced at times to do nothing day after day, which is the complete opposite of what we were taught growing up. And the worst part is it doesn't sell very well for a trading course.

The biggest tell for me to sit on my hands is the simple fact that there are NO LEADERS. Not only that but there are no setups. Yes I could grind each session for penny’s but you have to ask yourself if it’s worth your mental capital.

We all learn the hard way. “surely it can’t keep going lower” is a personal favourite I used to tell myself. Moral of the story, survive for another day.

Hoped i helped some of you guys not be stubborn. Take note when indices broke yesterdays lows.

No need to be a hero here. Tried some stuff for a bounce yesterday, but you’d be foolish to still be long going into the weekend.

$SPCX - All out on this made a rough 4-5% gain with yesterdays trims. Holding up decent to be fair but overall market looks like it really wants to puke today.

Caught $SPCX on today’s dump. This would’ve been the 8th red candle had it closed down for the day, so I liked my chances, and I was very bearish going into today. I’ve wanted to sell all day but kept away from the screens after trimming and raising my stop, which is all you can do when trying to keep expectations low. That being said some of the biggest, most vicious rallies can stem from downtrends as shorts get comfortable so I’m just going to take it day by day, focusing on price. Must admit the engagement today sure does feel like a ghost town, but ready to change my opinion on a dime.

$PLTR: Retested previous resistance which acted as a support along with the 20EMA earlier. Really good look in this leader but just have to take it day but day in this market and keep opinions loosely held.

Impressive reversals yesterday, but I want to see some strong follow-through candles before holding over the weekend. Would I be buying here? Certainly not. We may roll over or enter chop again soon but if you did get in, as long as you have cushion, just focus on price and ignore the noise.

To be clear, I'm not perfect I did try this Tuesday at the 20EMA but got stopped intraday for a loss. Just thought todays flush had real fear so decided to try a name I thought would bounce the hardest with the least downside risk if we were to bounce. Tune out the noise

Read the replies to this tweet, lots of people talking about "we might gap up +10%" which was the writing on the wall for me. I imagine those who sold the opening lows and now want to chase higher.

This is the kinda selling that you think can’t go much lower and the market opens the following day -6%
