Luck has nothing to do with it.
SPY... hit resistance within the first 40-mins(BB125 or 209.45) then nose dived from there....see 2-hr chart. Believe or not it was a fairly easy trading day for day traders. You need to know the turning points, draw on your charts before market opens. I've said many times BB125 is a tough band to break.

And, in the past,I've asked you to post a "BB125".
I don't know what it looks like.

Sorry Karen I've explained it in the past.
I use the following bands
It doesn't look like much and probably not much but I've learned price behavior around them.
Bollinger bands(40,0.4)
Bollinger Band (125,0.1)
uptrend: BB40 should be above BB125, reverse for downtrend. Let me know if you have any questions...gotta fly.

@4
A....trend is up: BB40 above BB125, stock is controlled by bulls. Pullbacks should stay above upper BB125 depending on the market/news and pain.
Buy signals: I look for momentum stocks, price moving from the upper BB125 then into BB40, choose stocks with strong consolidation above BB125.
If using an indicator ie CCI(18) for a trigger look for common turning points for that indicator: -168(deep pullback) high probability for a mean reversion, common turning points are -99.3 and -33.
Important to find support/resis areas on your chart, start with monthly and draw thick lines then daily thinner lines so you can see them quickly.
Important to check for Time and Sales to check is guys are dumping or buying and how big are the blocks.
important to trade in the direction of the market, you can see after first mins. On your 30-min bar draw 3-lines, top, bottom and in the middle. Price staying above the middle line signals buyer's interest, below seller's interest...not a foolproof method but a good guideline.
- lots more to talk about but hope this helps a little...market is about to open (:

SPY...BB40 crossed below BB125 yesterday ...see 3-hr chart, this is will call out sellers, now BB125 will act as resistance.
