Opposite of success is not failure. It’s acceptance of defeat. It’s inaction. It’s failure to learn from experience.
$UBER buyers stepped in right where they should have and price moved through DTL. Timeframes aligning with the daily chart tightening. Want to see it retake $70 level this week and fill gap around $70.50 on daily. Think this works in long run but will need time if tm is volatile
$UBER weekly not core focus since it has been relatively weak but watching how it acts around this level

$IWM bigger picture this chart looks great but it is concerning that smalls were down today with rates down For a good environment, small caps should be up when rates are down like they have been recently so today is a red flag I will defer to individual stock action as always

"If you don't feel dumb, you're not managing risk" - @markminervini Probably a fitting day for this one
Good morning to those brave enough to take shots in pursuit of their dreams 💯🙏
$SPY at 20 EMA now and closed 5/15 gap but not in a rush to be initiating new risk quite yet. Need to see better individual stock action
Obviously "losing" trades happen but it's all about how we frame them in our mind. Recently I have been working to frame losses as tuition and that it is my responsibility to get the most out of the money I spent. There's always something to learn or a belief to reinforce.
There’s no losing in trading. Only winning and learning. If you win, celebrate it but remain humble. If you are forced to learn, be grateful for the opportunity to gain wisdom & increase your future PnL potential. Today’s results don’t matter in the long run, today’s decisions do

My thoughts on some leading stocks $CAVA $COIN $MU $DELL $ONON $CRWD $HOOD $NVDA $SG $RDDT
$RDDT developing right side of IPO base with this low volume pullback. Watching to see if it can hold that $53 level here
$AVGO constructive base and pivoting at highs. Looks like it wants to continue despite already making big move for a mega cap name ($650 billion mcap currently)
Fundamentals/simplicity > complexity
Everyone wants some complex business strategy…but you can beat 99% of people by just doing exactly what you said you were gonna do, the way you said you’d do it, by the time you said you’d have it done by. Which is also much more difficult than it sounds.
Took a small started in $HOOD today. I like how it is consolidating on light volume above the highly volatile earnings days. Likely does what $BTC does. Exposure light for me at the moment by force as I got stopped on $SG $TOST $DKNG earlier this week & sold $NVDA into gap yest
A mental bias I think inhibits my ability to learn sometimes is I tend to attribute wins to skill/sound process & losing trades I tend to attribute to emotional issues/poor process. @TheOneLanceB talks about this in his work but anyone else experience this? Why does one do this?
FWIW I do my best to evaluate the quality of my process but tend to fall into this line of thinking automatically and it can be hard to break/see through
$SG that's what happens when a bunch of retail traders are piled into the same relatively illiquid name with the same stop
Post trade analysis is really just so valuable especially to see recurring habits. There are periods I don't do it for a while whether it is due to market really firing (Nov '23-Mar '24) or simply because I'm "sticking my head in the sand." Value is reinforced every time I do it
