|9:30am-10:00am| Started the day buying GOOGL Calls but no momentum so closed for very small PnL on trading room
|After 10:00am| Scalped IWM SPY Calls for a bounce but it was a bit too soon and took a loss.
|After 12:00pm| Scalped QQQ Calls for a bounce and locked some nice cash flow but it was not easy…. actually it was hard as hell and very slow and choppy action
|End of Day resume| Last 2 days have been hard as action very slow intraday, so it makes hard to hold trades for too long. My strategy was to add small PnL little by little and adding up to account. On slow choppy days, need to reduce the number of trades but overall I’m very happy with my risk management, trading plan, focus and resilience. Need to keep my focus and repeat the process over and over again!
