Day 21: Daily P/L - $35.65, overall - $36.36. I only took 3 trades today and they were all failures. I noticed as the morning started something seemed off and movements were smaller and weaker so i used smaller positions and moved stops aggressively, getting stopped out for small losses within an hour. It felt like the afternoon session on Wednesday when NVDA had earnings and the market was froze, and then i noticed the UVOL/DVOL measurement had dropped from slightly up to about even meaning the market was mostly paused or frozen. I assume this may have something to do with the news around the federal reserve stuff, but either way i stayed out after 3 bad trades and realized my bad days this week were days with low or even overall volume numbers. So i realized the ORR trade which counts on manipulation and riding the wave after does not work if the big players are not in moving money around and it plays out like a mid day session that just oscillates like a wave stop hunting everyone. I then adjusted my indicator top and bottom range from 3 for panic to 1.5 for enough volume to use my strategy. The only thing i did right today was minimize my losses and figure out what was stopping the strategy from working then stay out of the way for the rest of the day. I realize i need to test a different strategy in the simulator for low volume days or decide at the start to just stay out of it unless it changes. After a month i can say this is definitely way harder than they make it sound on youtube, and if i could find any remote work i would definitely prefer it over trying to navigate all the pitfalls of the market. Nevertheless i will continue on as long as i can make sense of what is happening, and will keep reducing my trade size so i do not just gamble my money away while still learning and in the negative.
