A real grind today

It was a grind today, though opportunities were present.  For some reason, I was a bit slow today (call it hesitant) and I stopped out my first three trades in TNA.  With only 250 shares in play for each trade, the losses were small.  My next two trades were winners and I was up a small dollar amount.  I did a mean reversion reversal trade near the top of the price spike in the last 5 minutes of TNA, but price did not revert to mean so I dumped it for a small loss with 5 seconds left in the trading session.  It was a good price to short the move up that started around noontime but I didn't want to hold short overnight.
It was a choppy day overall and I found it difficult to focus.  As I review the chart, I see my entry opportunities clearly, but for whatever reason, I was slow to react and ended up entering toward the middle of trends; a bad area for chop and churn stop-outs.

Finished the day with a Gain of $13 on 2 winners out of 6 trades.

Back to work

7 trades in TNA today; 6 winners and 1 stop out.  Gain of $223 total using only 250 share positions.  Still out too soon on a number of them.

Gone awry

UPDATE:  In the last 20 minutes of the day, I felt as though I had enough chart data and the move down was strong enough in TNA that I looked for a trade opportunity.  TNA seemed to bottom and I entered near the bottom of the 3:45 candle; 500 shares long for a quick $50 gain.  I left some on the table with a hasty exit but I did not want to be caught long overnight.

Well, came to the computer this morning and found that Direxion had repriced TNA & TZA through splitting/reverse splitting.  Of course, this screwed my charts up royally and left me searching in vain for stocks that meet my criteria; high ADR, highly liquid, small spread.

What I suddenly realized is that I am not following the cardinal rule of diversification.  I have my potential tied to basically one ETF family.  I have long considered switching to a trading platform that offers a Real-Time scrolling HOD/LOD scanner.  However, they are costly in comparison to what I pay now; nothing.
Hours of stock scans per day looking for setups is not necessary with the type of trading I wish to perform.  So, it may be necessary to subscribe to an advanced trading platform sometime in the near future.

In a few days I'll have enough chart data to work with TNA and TZA again.  In the meantime, I intend to search for other options.  During a phone conversation with the folks at TDA/Think Or Swim a couple weeks ago, they mentioned that the TOS platform allows one to set up a New Highs/New Lows real-time scrolling list by clicking on their tab.  That's where I'm going now to do some research.  If it meets my needs, the cost would be zero considering both Mrs. BCT and I both have retirement accounts there.  That would be a pleasant find indeed.
