QS put my account in a new league. Momo has left the building.

What a day! I opened with huge gains on QS and I really like how I played that out today.  Put my account into a new league today!

My other trades today were nothing to write home about, except for overtrading and wanting to hit more homeruns. I like what I did in general, but it didn't play out well. 

Also the market dropped out today. A real change in character from the past several days. The momentum left the building. 

Premarket willies

 QS up big premkt and I'm feeling very distracted by it. 

Also, despite yesterday's down day I'm feeling maybe overconfident. Also feeling like there are so many huge moving stocks in my screeners. 

As a result I've started reading https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/ and maybe it's putting me off my game. Or maybe it's showing me where the action is. Feels frenzied like dotcom bubble.

Hacking around in QS for a loss, and an overnighter

 Not proud of how I traded today. Not excited to take QS calls home. Also took home lotto calls on CRWD (of all things?!).

Ugh!

Got my piece, but missed the boat

I really like how I traded JKS today. Wanted it short/earnings. I saw it opening "not down enough" and predicted a huge updraft. I waited that out (prescient!!). Then notched into a short. First trade was excellent. Second try was a pain, bled too slowly. When it didn't make ndl below premkt, I cut it. Spread was difficult and I was done with it.

SPCE really got away without me. I like the trades I took, excluding unintentional oversize, but glad I cut that where I did. Tried again and it didn't work. Then I was too chicken to take it the third time, which would have paiiiid! 

MP was frustrating action on the stock and tough action on the option. First stop loss/loser took a big chunk. But I have to take those and not get too cute so I lose more. Big losses suck, but oversized losses destroy. 

One of the things I did well today that I REALLY like, is I screened my very best picks. These were the only 3. I didn't mess around with jumping into other things.
