Notes
Took at small loss on this and re-enter cause index is showing a thrust and this is the time I dont want to get left out. Would be ok to take another papercut on this.

Notes
Standard swing trade. Bought the 15mins ORB and vwap continuation. Both sizing it appriopriately.
Reflection
What I did well
Taking profits on names I should take profits on. Being able to recognise a dynamic market shift and trying my best be in it.
What I learned
Not sure if I'm being fooled by randomness but I think as long as my risk management are intact I should be good. Always a good reminder not to force entries and sitting on cash is fine.
Actionable takeaway
Patience and more studying and reflection on past mistakes especially those keep recurring in small caps.

AI Review
Two swings opened, both still live. AVGO is textbook — named setups (ORB+VWAP cont), B+ catalyst, sizing acknowledged as appropriate. HPE re-entry after a stop-out has the correct setup name but the notes leak the FOMO tell ("don't want to get left out" + "another papercut") — process is intact on paper, language is not.
- Aggression 10 + 6 full-risk opens (AMZN/CRCL/DLO/DAL/HPE/AVGO) — standing goal says size DOWN when the book is loaded.
- HPE re-entry: named setup ≠ green light when the trigger to click was "index thrust, don't miss it." Write the $ risk, not "papercut."
- AVGO — this is the template. Multiple confluences, sized cold, no story in the notes. Repeat this shape.
- Reflection contradicts action: "sitting on cash is fine" written on a 2-new-entry day. Notice the gap.
