The images are actually quite large in their original size. The problem seems to be that they are condensed and shrunk when imported into the forum.

Here is a test. This is a very large image size (5812×3875).

[img]https://i.ibb.co/WvC38rg/stock-1863880.jpg[/img]

It seems the site reduces the size of the image by default. I could attach a pdf of the trades for each entry but I was told that no one would actually open it lol.

Here's the pdf if you're interested.

Not sure I understand why you have these issues.

I used the Windows snip tool to capture this image from a chart, then used ctl-v to paste it into the image region in the text editor. Click to enlarge and it gets pretty large. (I deliberately made the snip a large chunk of a large image. It expanded to the original size.)





As an alternative, I sent the same image to a .png file on my hard drive, and then imported the file. Works the same:



These started as kind of big images, as you can see if you click to enlarge. They expand out to the original size.

This is just a test.

I will capture the image of this page, and then use the page to import, by pasting into the Drag and Drop Attachments region to the left.



This does work. I'm not sure how you are getting your images in, but try using this functionality.

I'm smacking my head right now wondering how I didn't notice the huge "drag and drop attachments" box to the left. I was uploading the images to an image sharing site and pasting the code for the image.

5 winners, 10 losers

Today's notes:

Wait for break over previous high / HOD for flag pattern?
Don't enter overextended from 9 EMA (1 min and 5 min)
Take profit.
Don't exited position too early- let stop loss hit.
Stop loss should be below 9 EMA if trading 9 EMA plays.
Wait for valid pattern to appear before entering.
Don't enter with resistance close overhead (premarket high).
Don't enter if higher time frame chart (15 min) signaling reversal
Don't enter on 2nd 1 min red candle.

11 winners, 4 losers

Today was my best day yet. Found a couple stocks that uptrended the whole day. I realized that rather than making many scalp trades on the 1 minute chart, it would be better for me to be more patient and play the longer trend on the 5 minute chart.

Today's notes:

Don't exit full position too early
Pay attention to buy/sell buttons
Focus more on 5 min chart for long term trend
Enter closer to 9 EMA (1 min)
Don't enter after large bearish candle (1 min)
Get better risk reward ratio
Adhere to stop loss
Make sure chart is at current price

I believe I'm starting to notice some improvement. I seem to be sticking to my rules better (waiting for the right setups and not chasing) and having less execution mistakes.


Today's notes:
Don't enter too early, wait for pullback

Good to hear. Sticking to your rules, even if they are bad rules, is an essential step. And if they're good rules, it's even better.

Nice work.

Bob.
