** This is taking the average profit per trade relative to the average loss. So a $5K profit and a $5K loss is a 1.0 score. A $5K profit and a $2.5K loss is a 2.0 score and a $2.5K profit and a $5K loss is a 0.5 score.

Weekly Goal

My goal for this week is:

  • Do not place your stop losses to tight, give the stock some room to retrace

Trade Hypotheses

03/07 | NVDA bullish past any price

Reason

The markets were up a decent amount, NVDA was gapped up and hovering around a 3% increase.

❌ Result

image

The issue here is that while the retracements looked small on the charts, because of how high up the price gapped and the ATR value, my stop losses were continually too short. It’s true that a bullish position at any price can work, but you need a healthy stop loss to do so.
