Very relative weakness to market, playing for breakdown of daily pennant. Spreads and fills were against me.

ZM another loser -28%
I wonder how many ZM babies I have fed. I'm sure I've lost on this way more than I've won. This wasn't even a good setup.
FB +19%
Gap against selloff day, back to top of mini range. Play for bo, while watching SPY.
Like my entry and I really like how I managed the exits. Seemed disappointing at the time, but need to keep my money, take what the trade gives me and PEACE.

AAPL oversize position +25%
AAPL I took normal size, then when resistance held I added. After it tested that level a few times, I started to get scared and sized down 1/4 at +/-breakeven even though market was dropping and dropping meanwhile.
It kept reversing just above various targets I set, so I exited on squeezed stops vs waiting for the targets, because I know they sometimes don't come. I don't regret how I traded this at all, though before it initially moved I was nervous bc the size I had. And it was a beautiful gainer. Even though I left a lot on the table, peace.

ZM gave it too much room again -22%
I keep wanting the orange box breakout. Was watching 152 level. Bought, then scraped half off at a daily resistance (though it seemed dumb at the time). Gave the other half too much room... again... a fatal flaw on ZM. But at least I put a stop somewhere.
