Reminder
Long-term: Conviction still leaks into entry timing — you enter the story before the tape confirms it; keep severing the 'I already like it' → 'I'm already in' link.

standard swing trade. One thing i notice is its lack of volume. I think i should avoid those in the future. No choice I already bought it.

Notes
Good trade. Very discipline on this. Waited for 15mins after open. waited for the vwap rejection. Size in accordingly and get into target
Reflection
What I did well
Being discipline and sitting on my hands. I did exit those positions that are not working.
What I learned
I think FSLY has the same mistake as VSXY. Its premature entry. I should have waited for 30mins or 1hr candle. For a market that's super choppy no 15min ORB unless its a flat breakout with tons of stack confluence like PTON
Actionable takeaway
delayed my 15-ORB later to 30min ORB
Misc
IBM - D1 Catalyst vwap continuation (7.5)
AI Review
IBM was textbook — waited the full 15, took the VWAP rejection, sized in, exited at target. FSLY you booked before checking volume and admitted it in the same breath ('no choice I already bought it'). Overall a disciplined sit-on-hands day with one avoidable premature entry.
- Volume BEFORE entry, not after — the 'no choice' line is a tell that entry preceded the checklist.
- Adopt the 30-min ORB filter you named in takeaways; only take the 15-min when it's a flat-base w/ stacked confluence (PTON template).
- 9 full-risk opens (HIMS, AMZN, CRCL, LULU, CBRS, PTON, VSXY, VG, FSLY) — heat is elevated; no new adds without trimming.
- IBM was A-process — bank the pattern: wait, confirm, size, target.
