You can only eat what you kill.
It might bounce. It might tank. But whatever happens would offer great opportunity.

OPPORTUNITY is what sustains intraday traders.

Potential intraday trading opportunity..

[For me, this is what makes OGT easy. Pre-plan. Wait. Identify. Act. Slay. Get out]
Steve and I teach our traders to locate important intraday levels and trade those levels.

Focus on stocks with fresh news; stocks in play.

Make decisions in TA, reading the tape and INTRADAY fundamentals.
There’s only so much volume to go around...

[Think about it.]
I do my best to master the “psychology of trading”.
When you’re getting beaten up consistently .... A good trader assumes the mentality that there is always an escape.
Driving. Thinking. Something he said in the book earlier I need to go back and find it.
“Perpetual learning”
“Traders around other traders....”
“SMBchop Tracker”
Eliminate a lot of the low probability scalps and working more in the high probability plays and adding more size to them.
Added plays when his PNL spikes and concentrates how he can trade these plays better.
Gman has been stopped out once.
What the fuck.....
Decrement
verbCOMPUTING
cause a discrete reduction in (a numerical quantity).
"the instruction decrements the accumulator by one"

"He loves to watch the big offer decrement, pay the offer and sell the stock when it slows into the upmove."
a reduction or diminution."
As traders we should step out of our comfort zone every day.
Risk-adjusted return

defines an investment& #39;s return by measuring how much risk is involved in producing that return, which is generally expressed as a number or rating. Risk-adjusted returns are applied to individual securities, investment funds, and portfolios.
Never lose more than 50% in a day than you can make in a day.
Make $100 / day? Never lose more than $50.
Make $1000/day? Never lose more than $500.

Etc.

If you do, walk away.
