![]() ![]() The biggest catalyst to this change was letting the subscription to my intraday scanning service lapse and focus on my pre selected watch list. I’m slowly trying to move from a scalper to a bigger picture trader.If I am wrong (which I still am ~40%+ of the time) I am wrong quick and don’t even think twice about the loss as it only takes 1 good trade to wipe out a few smaller losses. With that I have moved to an all-in/scale-out system to maximize profit on the sell side and reduce risk at the same time. ![]() I noticed that scaling into the trades lowered my % win rate because I was front running my buy “signal” trying to catch the bottom of a pattern vs waiting for volume confirmation at the breakout point and hitting it with size and confidence.If there are setups/trades I can get ~60%+ win rate with at least a 2:1 risk reward why am I not going full force when these set up? These may only come 2-4 times a week at best so not only do these trades need to be with big size they need to get bigger as my account grows.So what are a few things I picked up/adjusted from my review? People often ask what I use to journal/ track with and I use Edgewonk (allows you to get very complex in your tracking but Excel can work just as well), Microsoft OneNote (multiplatform note taker that I use on my trading computer, laptop and cell phone to take notes on the day and random thoughts while out of office) and a folder that I put screen shots of on so I can go back and reference almost like flash cards.It really only took an hour or so to get the slap in the face and see that I was veering from what works for me. The beauty of journaling was that I could see the frustration from my daily logs and even my recaps posted to the blog so instead of just waiting for something to click I took a few days away from the screens and compared my recent trading to my best periods. ![]() For some reason coming into Q2 I wanted to look like a rock star so I started front running my own “signals” and taking sub par trades and quickly saw my win rate drop to ~40%. I noticed that towards the end of the tracking I was averaging ~70% win rate on a few setups and decided I was going to solely focus on those trades. After tracking 500+ trades I was able to get a large enough sample size to collect some actionable data points to see where my strengths and weaknesses were. Things aren’t always going to be cupcakes and puppy dogs, but there’s nothing better than the feeling of busting your ass and getting out of a rut only to break some personal records. I wish I smoked all of Q2 like I did the last few weeks but I’m extremely happy with how everything turned out and most proud of the fact I was able to quickly notice I was getting off track and took the right steps to get back on. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() READ: How One Hopeful Cold Call Became Broadway’s Indecent In an unprecedented move, producer Daryl Roth announced the play’s closing only to rescind the notice and extend the play for more to see. Indecent tracks the history of Asch’s controversial play and the risks a troupe of artists will take to perform it. ![]() Considered in violation of obscenity laws, productions of God of Vengeance were shut down. Both Taichman and Vogel had been taken by Sholom Asch’s 1923 play God of Vengeance, a love story between two women. Paula Vogel’s 2017 Tony Award-nominated play has earned a reverence in the theatre community for its story, for its vision by director Rebecca Taichman (who won the Tony for it), for the subtly stunning performances (notable Katrina Lenk), but most of all for its own honoring of artmaking. It’s an hour and 42 minutes of absurdity at its finest. The Broadway show featured a segment “Too Much Tuna” popularized on YouTube, where George and Gil invited a different celebrity guest to join them onstage at each performance. Geegland and Gil Faizon, respectively, two Upper West Siders obsessed with turtlenecks, raccoons, improperly emphasizing words, and thinking they know more about everything than they do about anything. Directed by Alex Timbers (who also directs this Netflix capture), Oh, Hello first hit Off-Broadway in 2015 as an expansion of a sketch on Comedy Central’s Kroll Show. John Mulaney and Nick Kroll took Broadway by storm when they brought their altacocker alter egos to the Broadway stage in 2016. (The scenic design by Tony winner Beowulf Boritt is a particular highlight.) A comic meditation on all the reasons he did not want to become a father-and how most of those reasons came true when his daughter came into the world-Birbiglia’s show, directed on stage and film by Seth Barrish, reveals with startling honesty the challenges of new parenthood and what makes it all worth it anyway. The solo show bowed at the Cort Theatre October 25, 2018, and hit Netflix in 2019. Mike Birbiglia was one of the first comedians to cross the threshold to theatre with the creation of his first solo show Sleepwalk With Me. This time, Birbiglia takes his humor to Broadway with The New One. But if you missed the live broadcast, you can still watch it! ![]() Members of the original cast (including Ethan Slater as SpongeBob, Danny Skinner as Patrick, and Gavin Lee as Squidward) reunited for a 2019 live re-staging on Nickelodeon. The musical featured choreography by Christopher Gattelli, with orchestrations and arrangements by Tom Kitt. David Zinn’s jaw-dropping costume and scenic designs, Kevin Adam’s lighting design, and Peter Nigrini’s projection design created the world of Bikini Bottom, which was under threat of demise as Mount Humungous threatened to erupt unless SpongeBob and his friends could save the day. Among them: Plain White Ts, Yolanda Adams, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, and David Bowie. The musical featured a patchwork score with multiple Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning recording artists and songwriters contributing individual tunes. Krabs (and his daughter Pearl), the evil Plankton, as well as bit characters like Mrs. Inspired by the Nickelodeon cartoon from Stephen Hillenburg, SpongeBob SquarePants The Broadway Musical-as it was first called-offered a completely original storyline (from director Tina Landau’s concept and Kyle Jarrow’s book) with all of the memorable characters of Bikini Bottom, including SpongeBob, his snail Gary, his best friends Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks, his curmudgeonly neighbor Squidward J.
