Tried and true.

You try to apply multiple time frames to a trade ideally. If it works weekly, daily, hourly, etc. if I see this then I push buttons

those are best... least variance

ive been focusing on targeting convergence. last week was averaging like, 2k a day i guess, and today i got hit for 5k and im just like ok fuck this, back to basics, how do i fix this, so im leak hunting atm.

of the 5k i lost today, 2k was from overnight positions (sailors life etc) and 3k was just totally unforced errors, and at least $800 of that was from not getting filled because i waited quite literally a fraction of a second too long before trying to close on the ask and momentum swept the other way.


also and literally every word of this is true:

i went to bed last night at 11:30, and woke up at 3:30 am because of an extremely vivid dream.

i dreamed that VIX was at 23.

so yeah i wasnt in a great mindset by the time 9:30 rolled around.
