Troubleshooting! I have a difficult time with this since I don't have charts from those trades a couple years ago. They could be recreated, of course, but not with my handwritten notes. One change I've decided to make, very late in doing this I realize, is to keep an explicit diary for each trade instead of making notes on a printed chart while the trade is open. I also find myself concentrating far more specifically on the NQ. This one seems to give me more success than individual stocks. I run a scan each day looking for 3-5 day pullback from recent highs. The scan is the same as it's been for years, but the trading results just don't compare to days of old. Why would that be, do you suppose? Seems like I've been at this far too many years to have to continue experimenting... (sigh).
