Day 29: Day trades 2/6 P/L - $37.41, overall - $84.35. Today was another one of the frustrating days where the market moves in a wave and just whips around similar to when it is very low volume except it was extremely high volume today which did not make any sense based on my strategy thus far. I talked about it with ChatGPT and it said this is because of the options market gamma exchange and then explained the total volume is like a hose being turned on but if the market makers aka the options dealers are long gamma then they absorb either the selling or the buying happening from retail making it feel like a frozen range expansion trap is the best way i can explain it. I then watched a financial show with Chris Irons right after stopping trading and he started off talking about the markets being ran by gamma exchange now, that the tail is wagging the dog, and today is the first time i have ever heard of this keyword. Now i do not understand exactly what all this means but i am trying to figure out the scam and see if it is even possible to know when its safer or more risky to trade, otherwise this whole thing feels like everyday could be random without a roadmap. So what do i mean when i say it feels like a frozen market, or a range expansion trap? Todays image shows HOOD end the day at almost the same price it started instead of making any significant move it just kind of oscillates like a wave going up and down around a center point. If you look at the UVOL/DVOL numbers its a huge day for volume well above the 1.5 for good trading and above 3 signaling panic and it was above 4 and 5 most of the day. So something is not right about this picture, you have giant volume that should be pushing the stock either up or down yet it barely moves at all compared from the start to the finish. This is what i call no mans land, what you want is a strong move and the moving average line to look like a ski slope up or down. As far as why i took the trade you have a shooting star in the right place, combined with confirmation of the next candle closing lower, going under the 9 day moving average, MACD ribbon twist, it had plenty of reasons it SHOULD have been an excellent trade but it simply did not play out.
