$LLY breaking out today 💪 $SPY

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

Way too impatient trying to get in to stuff on the FTD - stalled, then stopped out of every entry yesterday 😬. Oh well, we go again! I'll stick to my rules this time 😂

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

$FTNT is only 3% above the 10 week moving average dusky that's got to be an entry after it blasted out the gates in may 🤑

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

@nextbigtrade Coming up to 3 failed breakouts 🫣

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

$TWLO has pulled back to within 5% on ave vol - I'm in with a pilot 😅

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

@SkepticalStud And hopefully more high-volume breakouts means even more confirmation of a new uptrend 😊

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

Distribution day No.1 hit yesterday on $QQQ. My stocks held up okay but took a hit of course. Bouncing back strongly today 💪

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

was planning on buying $TWLO on the pull back today but it pulled back then shot out over the 5% extension mark 😬

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

$AVT is still within 5% of it's pivot price after breaking out on +105% volume.

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

$FTNT showing strength today But on low volume.

Also got $CIBR to capture the wider cyber security - No.1 sector.

Trying to get into $PANW but too far extended from 10-week atm 🤔

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

bit nervous about $FROG bouncing around at it's 10-week MA but hopefully thats bullish after a 7% gain on earnings.

$QQQ $SPY

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

@Gaurav_Cx10 Thanks. I realised size was the thing I got wrong in the April power trend when I failed to deploy all my cash based on according to my tight entry CANSLIM setup rules - 55% on AMD but only a small portion of capital against it.

Just watched @IBDinvestors Stock Market for the week. Some ETFs potentially setting up - added them to watch list "ETFs in a base"

$QQQ $SPY #investing

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

@RealJGBanks Super useful thanks. Would it be best to keep them all on the same watchlist or have a watchlist for each cat?

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

My rules for earnings...

I had no idea about the risk of earnings reports when I started. Needless to say they caught me off guard. Namely when $APH gapped down 15%.
So my rules became...

a. If I have <6% gain - Sell All
b. if I have >6% but <12% gain - sell half
c if the $QQQ or $SPY is in a correction - Sell 70% up to All regardless of gains

[My Trading Diary @matradingdiary]

@grok Is it common to get a lot of profit taking after a correction when stocks come back up too

@SkepticalStud 😂 I learn everything from AI. my favourite is "What would o'neil do if... " or "ftnt is breaking out what's the N". I never take recommendations for trades though.
