Fine-Tuning Execution Around Breakout Timing and Trade Selection
• Hesitation on early breakout in energy sector, with discussion on the importance of immediate action on pre-validated levels.
• ‘Big ass fly’ strategy adjusted again, refining focus toward early-session follow-through plays, especially in momentum tickers.
• Review of excessive filtering, where good trades were skipped due to too many confluence requirements being stacked.
• Reinforcement of letting winners run, with reminders to scale out slowly rather than cutting trades at the first sign of hesitation.
• Improved pre-market ranking system tested, where trades were labeled as A or B setups to guide intraday execution priority.
• Team challenge introduced to improve first-hour responsiveness across the board.
Summary
the team reflected on missed entries—particularly an early breakout in the energy sector that had been clearly identified during pre-market planning. Ernie emphasized the need for immediate execution once pre-defined levels are hit, especially in the first hour.
The ‘big ass fly’ strategy was updated again to focus on plays that offer strong early follow-through rather than waiting for confirmation that often arrives too late. Excessive filtering was also addressed, with several setups skipped due to an overly rigid checklist.
The session also included a reminder on managing winning trades—encouraging the team to scale out progressively instead of exiting completely on first signs of hesitation. A new pre-market ranking system was trialed, labeling A- and B-tier trades to prioritize execution more confidently. Ernie closed by launching a team-wide challenge to improve speed and decisiveness during the first hour of trading.
