Tuesday, 18. July 2017 - is there something there that wasnt there before...?
I feel like im starting to get the hang of certain things.
Or lets say, my confidence is definitely rising.

I bought Calls in CGI (for some reason it didnt let me buy shares) as it had popped up on my day trade scan and the setup looked exactly what i had been looking at for break out swing trades, low stochastics, higher high, high volume and a nice gap to fill. It worked out nicely. I think ill actually sell half of them tomorrow as we seem to come up on resistance.
Other than that it was a flat day. MCD is pulling my P/L down and im desperately waiting for a down day. I had a short put spread in NUGT from last week which i got to take off for 50% profit today, so im just grinding. Still down since i started trading with TW but thats about 50% due to unfortunate earnings plays.

Great day in here.
Weed stocks moved higher. I have to go check if there has been news or something. The last 3-4 days have seen much more volume and volatility. I also bought 100 shares of CGI in here which gave me a lovely profit. I might keep this one on as commissions in here are higher and i dont want to take scale out of it.
Plus500Not much to report. VXX dropped of course, so the VXX position is gaining steadily so that i will get to take it off tomorrow.

NVDA dropped a bit, so that was good for the ratio spread i have in there thats currently getting tested. Also got to take off a strangle in TSLA for a fantastic 50% profit.
I also day traded successfully last night but will summarize that in a seperate post.
Generally i am the happiest about CGI working out as well as it did.
I saw the pattern and confidently set up the trade.
Moving forward it is really good to know that some of the day trade scans can also help me find nice swing setups AND that that stuff actually works!
