$TSLA Perfect one today!

I just love those days.

Much easier for me to short on a perfect HTF short day than the opposite.

Waited for an entry setup since the open, and we got an A+ one by the system.

Took it full size and covered into the leg's bottom.

Was in a small drawdown due to 2 max loss days back to back, but dug myself out of it over the last 2 days.

Things are going well, very happy for it.

Been through a lot in this game, and will probably go through a lot more in the future.

Won't be trading tomorrow as it's my BD🥳
Will take the time to chill and reflect on the last year's adventures.

$TSLA Great start for the week!

Had a solid plan for a bear trap into a strong move up.

Man, what a nasty open.
Massive dump with 0 PB.
They made me change my mind and short it, as 390 remained untested.

That was the bear trap I was waiting for, and I fell into it, but fortunately with small size.

Then we got a strong move up.
Waited for a PB to enter, as it was a no brainer long.

Hit it hard with full size (almost double the size of the first trade) and started covering into strength.

Nice green day to start the week after two medium-sized red days back to back.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA A red one after a great green streak.

Didn't have a clear thesis, preferred to see how we behaved post open.

Had some software problems at the open, and it didn't work smoothly, but no excuses.

First short was okay.
Second long was pretty good but a bit premature.

Didn't perform at my peak, but all good.
We are humans after all.

Heads up.
Onto tomorrow.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Another long, another W.

Plan was 50:50 for either side, first 10 minutes determined its a 99% long.

Had few nice long opps but waited for a better one each time.

Finally a beautiful setup came and I scaled up into full size and a bit more.

Was pretty fast with the cover but I’m fine with it as it reversed afterwards to my BE area.

Another green day for an almost perfect month.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Massive long opps today.

The plan was pretty neutral, but after the open it was clear as the sky.

The first long was good, in my opinion, I just got cut out of it.
Rehit it with full size to make back what I'd lost and a bit more.

Looking back, I could've held for more, but I was afraid of a PDH reversal without a prior F/BO.

Took another long near the top area and got very lucky with it, as it touched my stop but didn't fill me for some reason.

Recognized today my (only) tilt trigger for now, and it's going from green to red.

Was fearful as fuck of taking a red trade on the third one and probably would've fallen into tilt if it had happened.

Lucky day to keep the green streak alive.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA It was a stressful one.

The plan was basically short and only short.

A perfect HTF chart for it, almost too perfect, which is why it didn't work.

Waited and waited, and all I saw were traps and messy setups.

Finally got a setup I could work with.

Hit it with very big size and got stressed out (not mainly from the size, but from the unpredictable soaks).

Covered most of it into the bottom and left some for FT that never came.

Nice green day for a decent and consistent month so far.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

@ValentinTrades The best out there

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Big one today.

Those days are my bread and butter.
I know them like the palm of my hand.

Just bull trap after bull trap, with soaks that led to absolutely nothing but dumps.

Shorted heavily and covered into the leg's bottom area.

Broke the Tuesday curse 🤣
As the last two Tuesdays were the only red days this month.

Feeling good.

Trying to clean my mind every second while trading and generally in my day to day life.

It's either you act upon your past thoughts and programs, or from God's inspiration.

Clean clean clean😀🧹

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Hyper scalps into a massive HTF move.

Yeah, there was no real way for me to predict this 20-point move.

Could've known that the third trade would go a bit higher as the consolidation was pretty long.
But yeah, it is what it is.

3 trades, all longs:

First trade was a tiny W.
Second trade was a well managed small L.
Third trade was a sniper entry re-hit for a medium W.

Going step by step, learning and understanding the new PA and my new style according to it.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Slow and steady.

Great short opportunities for scalps today.

Had a few nice setups before, but wasn't 100% sure on them, so I waited.

Scalped some shorts near the bottom area.

First trade got 33% out into the bottom and the rest at BE.

On the second one, I also got a sick add and covered all into my cover signal.

Medium green day.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

@ValentinTrades Master titi

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Perfect short for the day.

HTF was picture perfect for short, and only for short.

Took the open setup with full size.

Wanted to hold for a massive BD (as it normally does on this HTF chart), but covered all into the bottom as it's the new TSLA.

Pretty big green day.

Made back all of yesterday's losses.

Will keep going and pushing.
This game is hard, but we do what we have to do.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Just bad trades today.

Was impatient today and took some pretty poor trades.
They felt off, yet I took them anyway.

The first one was starter size (75% of my full size), and it wasn't that bad as the lows were untested.

The second trade was off by every measure, although I got chopped out by a little.
It did go up afterward and made the small move I was expecting.

Need to be more selective with my trades and pull the trigger when I have that "feeling."
I had it twice today and didn't take the trades, and both ended up being winners.

Was close to falling into tilt, but thankfully I managed to prevent it.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Not bad.

This exact open, with this exact HTF chart, used to give us at least 2–3 waves to the upside.

There are zero arguments that the PA has shifted for the worse.

With that said, we have nothing to do about it except adapt and overcome.

Took the long on the soak of the FBO and started covering pretty quickly, knowing it could turn at any moment.

Managed to cover 75% of the position ITM and the rest at BE.

Will start taking the entire position off into my "intuition" cover signal, as I've managed to top and bottom tick my scalp exits pretty often, and there is no need to hold onto another piece.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Another long, another top tick cover.

Pretty tricky PA.

Once again, I waited for a short setup to get soaked up before going long.

Nailed the cover into the top (66% of the entry size) and the rest at BE.

BE on the week for now.

Monday's big red day ate me up, but the lesson was learned.

Back on the proper mindset streak.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Long the soak.

The best setups happen when good ones fail.

We got a semi short setup, but something felt off.
The bias was to the long side, and a short there was not an option.

Waited patiently for the short setup to get soaked up and went long with full size plus an add.

The result was a great winner.
Earned back almost all of yesterday's loss.

The only problem is that I took two stupid stops on the Qs.
Nothing too big, but they took away some of today's profits.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Fucked up.

No reason to short there.

Everything was pretty fine besides the fact it had just made a massive move down, so a bigger PB was needed before entering.

Pretty big red day.

Once again, my max loss routine proved itself, as if I would've stuck to it, I would've dodged an extra stop.

I guess every few months the market reminds me of this fact😅

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Nice one to start June.

TBH, those days are my bread and butter.

The open was untradable for me, too jumpy.

Took a nice short entry on the easiest setup there.
Covered 75% into the bottom and the rest at BE.

No Follow through, unfortunately.
If we had gotten it, this could've easily been a massive one.

Finding it a bit tough to catch the big moves, but I'm doing a good job with the fast covers.

[Yoav @Yoav_Moatty]

$TSLA Absolutely nasty by any means.

Fucked up PA, totally untradable (at least for me).

Except trapping shorts, nothing made sense here.
It didn't move and act like it always does, just a million miles away from it.

2 main lessons were learned today:

1. When the PA doesn't make sense, don't trade until at least 1 setup/move makes sense to you and actually works.

2. On good PA days try to make the most out of it, even if it means taking another trade after a winner.

My red days are usually bigger than my green ones as I "maximize" the red ones by continuing to trade after a loss.
