    A few notes on the post mortem for SLCA-

    - I will need to go to shorter sticks. 1H atr stop losses... in this specific case, a bit steep. In most cases, really.

    - I’m moving to 15M. Success rate will drop, but the money at risk as a percentage of the position is much more scalable.

    - it’s slippy out there. Not much I can about that.

    - I have a couple of course adjustments. Those are good.

    - resetup an SCLA breakout. Much more intelligent breakout level.

    -I should have tosses the position after I noticed it wasn’t a breakout. Immediately. I waited until I got stopped out. JV. I won’t do that again.

    - I also am noticing that breakout trading is like tying 1 hand behind my back. I’m a buy during accumulation phase trader. This is def putting me outside of my comfort zone. I’d love to accumulate CDXC now.

    If I were to guess, GSM will be the next trigger.

    Stopped out of second APPS breakout out. I think I’ll take another bite at that apple with higher levels.
