Testing Times.

A positive result is about the only positive I can take from the day. I still find myself becoming increasingly concerned with protecting gains the further a trade goes in the right direction to the extent that I look for reasons to get out by looking at time frames where I am likely to find a reason.

 

Ideally, when following the plan, one holds the trade until there is no longer any reason to hold, then exiting flat or flipping the position might be the best call.

 

Whilst I am much improved from the bad old days when every trade was a white knuckle experience I still find myself making emotive decisions at times, the bigger a trade gets the worse I get in my thought making process.

 

Notes attached.

Overnight saw price rally to the MP of the drop, the inability of price to move beyond this level suggests continued weakness which ties in with the higher time frames of the daily and weekly.

Daily failed to confirm the ret after a stride break, there was a double bottom of sorts and overnight price has crept back to an earlier swing high just above the MP of last weeks drop, could be a potential range in the making.

Price saw an upward move towards the UL but it did so in a very messy fashion.

 

Thoughts: Real sense of frustration starting to set in, PA seems vague and oscillates a lot before making any kind of move. I am making mistakes along the way by passing on more trades than I take, poor entry and trade management seem the most obvious.

 

The market is not behaving as I would expect, which leaves me thinking my expectations are wrong, this bullish market is similar to a period I backtested during a period of new highs in 2014 and my results are not that dissimilar, weak continuations, deep pullbacks interspersed with price spikes and chop... Challenging but not impossible.

Price made new highs over night which means the daily DL will be fanned to accommodate the most recent swing low, PA is back under the swing high we head into the open.

An interesting day in terms of movement, but, my pessimistic outlook on current PA led me to overthink on the first trade.

 

Notes: I could see a few things of interest as they occurred but I was trigger shy and expecting chop so sat out and took notes as the rest of the day unfolded after trade 3.

    • 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.
