Actions for the 25th.  With the volume being so high throughout the day I found it hard to make out what was going on, that coupled with large oscillations (+10 point minutes) meant I could not tolerate most of the movements anyway.

Actions for the 27th.  With all the movement in PA lately I have found myself expecting the worst and started to smother my trades with my stops as soon as they moved favourably, this is not conducive to good trading.  I was blinded by bias on more than one occasion and lost focus as I got frustrated.  I took a break and noticed something in hindsight when I looked back prior to the close, I really need to be sharper at figuring out what price has done and what it is doing. 

No trades for the 26th.

Actions for the 28th.  Saw plenty of opportunities but played it safe and sat on my hands on some of the better ones and ended up mangling the trades I did take.nq280620181min.thumb.png.87677757dcdd0b4cf007fb5e36bfb19c.pngnq28062018notes.thumb.png.2af55525e15f1fde6ad251a27ec3aa36.png

Actions for the 5th.  The drop lower in the morning was a little frustrating as PA seemed to grind it out with a lot of back fill, I then missed the bottom as it looked similar to all the other bottoms I tried to catch in the session up to that point.

Actions for the 6th.  I was too focused on the 1 minute time frame to really appreciate what was going on in the bigger scheme of things, volume seemed vague but was largely confirming the PA at the time, I just couldn't get my head into seeing this as a trend day.

Actions for the 12th.  Despite thinking price would head back to the weeks high (a few posts up gives reasoning) I tilted off after trade 1 and was mentally shut down from taking any more trades.

Actions for the 17th.  My intolerance of adverse PA posed a significant problem as the day unfolded.  This might come off as a little petulant but I've been getting really frustrated with how price has been moving over the last couple of weeks, I don't know if this is to do with price pushing at highs but I am really struggling to make heads or tails of price movement and volume most of the time.  As I've already noted my stop intolerance is problematic particularly on days like this but even then my analysis intraday is inconsistent. 

Given where my mindset is just now I am starting to think I will have to rebuild my plan and revisit my expectations and really try and figure out why I think the way I do, some of my thinking lingers from when I was having much better results than I am currently having, are they realistic with today's PA?  Do I need to carry wider stops? (very likely) Does price "go" or does it hang around for a bit?  I'll elaborate further when I have though it out a little more, I'm just very frustrated with how all the components play out including myself during the session.nq170720181min.thumb.png.6e60a152efe4c091a884846be84a4ec0.pngnq17072018notes.thumb.png.d53463d5192fdc6ecc72a7371f73624a.pngnq17072018anotes.thumb.png.5e84049663d82fefeba15956bfea477b.png

Actions for the 19th.  Bad results but clearer PA, I'm cutting the lowest time frame charts (20s) for the time being to try a slow down the thinking process a little.  Still need to figure out the patience issue a bit aka trade 1, and try and accept the fact that I might need to carry stops that are a lot wider than what I'm used to (10-15 points wide on some) or not take the trade at all, the two long trades really needed those wide stops (danger point stops) to succeednq190720181min.thumb.png.b2e907c82fab92287f769307668bb1a8.pngnq19072018notes.thumb.png.48930e3403c5d438729adbf07ab193bf.png.

Actions for the 23rd.  Weird day with the PA, in hindsight the pull backs in the rally looked simple on the 5 minute but on the 1m things seemed a little more complicated.nq230720181min.thumb.png.31b719fb771271f54a53b07d356e77c8.pngnq23072018notes.thumb.png.53055bbd2eaec5c20b94ab7f05141171.png

Actions for the 25th.  Its difficult to watch the kick back on some of the trades I'm taking as I try to manage them in a way that leaves me open to larger trades, trade 5 in particular stung as it eventually got to where I thought it might.  Despite the result I think there is a little progress being made, maybe.nq250720181min.thumb.png.de252b71e76482755f10ba6b47f72f20.pngnq25072018notes.thumb.png.cd4d825dd20714960a3b062e9e194a05.png

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
