I guess let’s start with the negatives — and maybe by starting with negatives and going into positives, that’ll push me into a better work attitude. I haven’t meditated yet, I kind of forgot until a couple of minutes ago.. I also spent most of the morning on Reddit again; just angering myself mostly, though there were a couple chuckles in there. More fodder for my book, maybe, but at this point …. Idk.. But that’s irrelevant right now.
Also, Carnival, which I set an entry order in yesterday, spiked up this morning, gapped up above the highs of the base I saw and looks like it would’ve been a good trade — at least initially. Unfortunately the order cancelled at the end of the day yesterday. With the gap, though, I’m actually not sure I would’ve been able to get into this; so I guess I should just resolve to be glad that I noticed something and ended up being “correct” despite not getting in. Speaks to my pattern recognition, I guess.
On the bright side, I got up early and brushed and rinsed, and was actually at the computer before 8:00. I made PB&J for breakfast, and it’s not that late. I’m not sure when I’m leaving and when I’m going to be interrupted, but as of right now, I’m still in my prime trading time.
I’m not sure why, but I don’t find myself looking at the S&P every day. I guess it’s because I don’t really make my decisions on a day-to-day based on what the S&P is doing, really, anymore; but it’s still something I’d like to keep track of. I guess checking it every couple of days isn’t that bad from that perspective. If I feel like it’ll help to check more often, I’ll start checking more often. All that said, today it’s hovering around the same area it reached the last time I checked. It wasn’t basing then, but since then it’s been basing around this area. Again, still don’t really know what to do with that information, but I’m keeping it in mind. I’m going to look through stocks now
FUBO is something that was on my list yesterday, maybe prior, as a Put play. This has been basing since Monday, and is on another push down this morning (it had a little rally yesterday). This is based on the 4h chart, where the pattern is a little cleaner — I’m looking for a break of the lows anyway. This isn’t oversold anywhere and the bands aren’t really expanded yet, so it looks like a good play to me, of course contingent on if this does in fact break these lows. I’ll run the numbers
