9/4 $mrna 1/10 size breakeven trade.
Gap up perfect flag into the 8 day but didn’t get follow through. Maybe I could look to enter again when 21 catches up.

Monthly review
- overtraded and oversized after a tiny bit of traction.
-need to make new progressive exposure rule a non negotiable
-need to read trades before market open
- once I’m in a trade I need to go through my rules and make sure it aligns
-entered overextended names

8/31 $stx short 1/5 size ❌
Shocker another L
Started this trade 1/10 size which is where it should have stayed but I added to make it 1/5 size. Size needs to be predetermined before entry especially in a losing streak.
No daily close below 50 day on index either to short

Reminder that if you are getting traction, make sure that your progressive exposure is in alignment with whichever direction you are getting the traction on.

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

Broke a rule so I’m taking off all trades and taking the week off to reset before I make things worse. Market will always be there. Come back next week tiny size and let the market pull you in more if it’s meant to be

8/27 $abnb 1/4 size ❌
Time to go 1/10. I’m getting fomo and overtrading. This wasn’t the worst trade but with the igv gapping up 6% the rr on software had kinda already past for first 15 minute trade like this. Also too far from the 21 and 50

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

No trades till after nvda earnings.

-New rule: 1 quarter size trade must work before any larger size is added. One half size must work before any full size.
- 3 quarter size fails in a row and I must go to 1/10 size.

These sizing rules must be documented on every new trade

8/24 pltr long half size❌
Flag into 8 on leading stock in leading sector but overall environment not too good. So extended names aren’t working.

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

8/19 $hpe long 1/10 size✅
Pivot into the 8 day entry, this was the first long I got traction on. Took one trim on extension and another on loss of 8. Tried trailing the rest with 21 but tech didn’t have follow through and knocked me out today.
Good trade

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

My biggest losses always come right after a good week. Need to keep this in mind when thinking about progressive exposure in the future

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

For the near future
-only longs must be software 8 day pivots
-size back down
-trade plan for within range

8/18 $DELL long 3/4 size❌
A little too attached to this name. Over sized even tho it’s not in leading sector, end of day fomo entry. Big loss on this one causing me to be red on the month. Can’t be oversizing like this after several losses.

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

8/17 $twlo and $iot ❌ these were both entered on Friday and bad trades. They closed on lows going into the weekend and I didn’t cut for some reason. Stops were not triggering off open either. Over trading gave back all my gains from last week.

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

Tanked on earnings

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

8/5 $ddog quarter size long ✅ software been leading, ddog one of the strongest stocks breaking past ath. Would have liked to hold this longer but with igv stretched and earnings after hours I’ll just play it safe

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

Also need to keep in mind the index’s distance from the 8 and make sure my trades are aligned with that for lower risk

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

8/15 weekly review
After looking at my trades from the week I noticed that my discipline definitely wavered and I was entering things out of excitement vs how good the set up was. This week my focus will be tightening entries, lower frequency, and zero end of day entries

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

8/14/26 $font long 1/10 size ❌
End of day entry starter position but the index was extended so definitely need to be more patient and look for a squat in the morning. Don’t chase just cause things are working.

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

8/13/26 $oust 1/10 long❌
Had 3 positions working so took a shot at this one but still a little far from the 8 day so need to tighten up my entry’s even when things are working. Will keep an eye on a better entry.

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

8/11 amzn 1/4 size long ❌
This was a good flag but still too far from the 8 day need to wait for 15 minute pivot off the 8. Especially since I was already in too many positions

[Kade Trades @kade_trades]

Focus 8/10
-Peg setups
-progressive exposure
-software, cyber, Amazon off the 8 day
Lots of set ups but need to get traction before getting too excited
