Mostly Small Cap Equities 📉 Short Selling

Learned a lot from this

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$XOS: went short and got a good cover on the first 5m candle. Was up 10%, next trade I built into. In hindsight, should have covered into LOD when it didn’t flush out. Gave it too much room to work and went against me. Today: -10% Month: +10.6%. U Need to know when you’re wrong

It’s more important to be decisive in your trading than correct

$IVF: Normally don’t trade nano floats (sub 5m shares), but wanted to try today on small size. Their moves are quick and don’t make much sense to me. Always trying to learn. Nailed the trade at open on decent size, gave back all my profits on the other trades on small size. -0.2%

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$XHG: Went long on this one. The entry was poor but gave it some room to work bc I knew it had potential to squeeze. Wanted a move into $8.50 but once it went into the halt I got out. I don’t like to hold through halts. B performance, almost got a point out of this one. +10.2%

$FRMI : Was doing a lot of level 2 and tape reading on these trades. In & out relatively quickly reading extended moves on level 2. Went long at the end for mean reversion. Had strong news $6.8 billion deal. +11.9% on account. A- performance. Should’ve shorted on more pops

Finishing the month July up +48%. Blessed to be able to do this📉. Slow month for my playbook but less is more. The best months of my career I only traded 4-5 days the whole month. 90% waiting 10% execution

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$REPL: got my piece and peaced. Left a lot on the table but didn’t want to be in front of the screens today. Quick scalp big size for +10.6% today. Definitely could’ve traded this stock better today. Review review review. The trade lasted about 14 seconds. Level 2 and tape trade.

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$VRRM: Took shorts ver small size PM then when volume came in at market open I nailed the next 2 trades on large size. Gave back some profits waiting for the pop re short, hit the re short and wanted all day fade. Didn’t get the best exit price. B performance today. +13% today

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$ALT: Quick one. Not many quality setups for me recently so did a quick nail & bail on trend break into LOD. +8.4% account growth on this trade. Scraped some profit on a slower day.

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

Wanted a move into 2.30 to cover my short, but barely stopped out on 9ema break on the 1m chart

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

AMC: Missed the entry on the pop early AM. Excellent process waiting for a pop and not chasing. I was on tilt from missing original planned entry in the AM bc was having platform issues; so I only sized in 25% of full position size, didn’t get enough pops to add more. +1% today

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$CLSK: Quick scalp, nail and bail. Done for the day. Could’ve held longer but normally don’t trade stocks this high of price. +1.08%

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

Trade em, don’t date em

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$ENVX: Quick trades today, didn’t want to sit in front of the screen for hours. Scalps, wanted a higher pop so didn’t get the best entry. Better process than the past few days; happy with how I waited for the backside before entering short. +15% today

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$PDYN: Disgusting process. Took yesterday’s experience into today. Thought the LOD wedge would break upward then tank the rest of day into LOD. Didn’t happen, ripped all the way back up almost gave back everything. Each trade is different. +7.1% still not happy with performance.

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

Ended up popping after I cut it, just to break down LOD into my profit target. Such a mental game. Review review review

[Nathan Devries @nathanator222]

$AMPG: Entry’s were sloppy. Positive outcome but frustrated at the execution. Monetary value will come if the process is done correctly. Should’ve cut it sooner when LOD wouldn’t break on multiple tries.
