An open trading record
Every trade. The reasoning. The mistakes. In the open.
I swing and position trade US stocks. Every trade I take shows up here as it happens, with the plan, the exits, and the result in R. The lessons get written down so you don't have to pay for them the way I did.

Read on Substack ↗A synthesis of my own analysis and that of professionals I follow closely.
Latest analysis
All →- Which dip do you buy?Everyone buys the dip, but everyone defines the dip differently. These are the three dips I trust right now, on three different timeframes, and how I'll know if they work.
- Narrowing it down: a regime filter built on SPY and QQQAfter a hot CPI print pushed QQQ below its 21 EMA, I worked out a simple frame for when to take risk at all, and when to buy pullbacks.
- Risk came off: reading a broad risk-off daySeveral trailing positions stopped out on the same day. What the cross-asset picture said about why, and what it would take to get constructive again.
Rules & principles
Library →- One system until it's consistentEvery system has drawdowns. Hopping to a new one each time the current one hurts guarantees you never learn any of them. Get one consistent first, then build.
- Risk firstDecide what you can lose, and where you're wrong, before thinking about what you can make.
- Show the lossesThis record is for the people reading it. That only works if the losses, mistakes, and broken rules are as visible as the wins.
- A lesson for every closeEvery trade that closes gets at least one written lesson line, win or loss.
