Trade review. TQQQ. 2025-08-05

These are my brief notes on the failed trade for TQQQ.

Good stuff

  • Stuck to my 3-minute time-interval
    • Better to have stayed within 1-minute interval for the first hour
      • The 5-minute, 15-minute, even 30-minute or 60-minute ORB needs a lot more testing
    • Ignore what the “experts” tell you about changing time-intervals at specific times
      • It works for them, not you

Bad stuff

  • No real bad stuff happened
    • Had tight stop-losses in place to ease my peace of mind
  • Did switch back and forth from 1-minute and 3-minute intervals often
