Very solid way to start the week: it's a monday brand new start. As you remember last week, i had kind of a tough week so this week i want to make sure i'm trading well and i'm very happy about my trading today, not in terms of pml but because of the way i traded i zoned in on the stock. I know the best i focused on the playing i had and i executed really well and i'm extremely proud about it. So the stock that made my day was mrna and it's a stock that i've traded so many times in the past before whether it's long or short.

So this it's no surprise. I picked the stock as my main watch on the day and there were a few other small cap stocks, that's kind of gapping up, but, as you remember last week, some of the low float small caps been causing people a lot of headache, including myself. Like the stocks like imrn and mxc, so that's why i chose to avoid them today and focus on what i know best. Maybe this is something that can help you out too.

You know like if you're struggling with a penny stocks, why bother right? You know focus on the large caps. They tend to have more predictable, behavior, so mrn. You know i identify this level as a key level and once we start rejecting because i started some small pre-market, i want to see how it reacts to the 80 area. Right.

80 here we did have a gap up from 73. All the way to you know 1882.. So if it starts to reject eighty dollars again, i want to go short because this stock has a uh past behavior of filling in at least some downside. Maybe not all the way down here to 74, but you know maybe a good.

You know six points to a downside, so i shorted around 80s added some after we get immediate follow-through to the downside. So i had a really nice full size here from initial here. Re-Entry and add some more cover some into a flush, but i'm adding back all my covers because i know the stock. If it does start to sell off, we get you know some pretty decent follow-through to the downside.

So you know cover some here cover some more and also out around this slow, 76 dollars area. If it starts to reject again around the highs, we i would have went back in short, for you know, maybe a little bit more to 74 dollars. But after this you can see the trend just kind of changed right. You know we kind of started holding like higher lows and we're just kind of grinding up higher.

So that's why i know you know the good follow through it's gone. You know my trade that the trade i plan for it's already here and that's why i didn't go back and go for secondaries and give back some profits like i tend to do when i have tried to go back for the second or third trade in the Past before the other stock that actually did surprisingly well - and i for sure only you know - didn't expect this much because you know market at the time was kind of indecisive was tesla and the reason i'm loan tesla. Obviously you know you can see on a daily. We had a huge sell-off last week from pretty much from 1687 all the way down to 1367., and today i'm just looking for some sort of rebound move and we did get that, but you can say i sold way too early.

You know i loaned it here at the test of previous. They closed perfect entry, i'm so happy about this 1418s sold some into this re-added back once we are testing and consolidating around pre-market highs, and i sold him to 1650s. I didn't even make it through. Sixteen sorry, fourteen sixties and you can see the high in the morning was six fourteen.

Eighty wow, so you know, missed about 30 points to a down upside, but you know from going low around 14 18 out of here. That gave me an average about 1430s. You know 20 something points so upside, that's still pretty decent could have made a lot more, but i'm not gon na complain. As you can see, the stock later gave back all the gains and went back to test the exact same low of the day earlier.

So it's kind of like an irrational stock, sometimes um just push and then sell off and then push again so yeah, i'm happy. I took the meat of the move and traded well and made it really clean today, so that was a while today holy crap um. It's probably the wildest action we've seen in a while. That's comparable to you know stocks like drys and bpth lfin from a couple years ago, and i can't believe that this kind of action, this kind of holds on the way up and holds on the way down.

This kind of action happened on the stock like kodak, which is a real company. I did trade the stock yesterday, so this is the chart. Yesterday, you can see the stock you know, sold off to about eight dollars closed and after hours. Uh donald trump mentioned the company and mentioned about their business change to pharmaceuticals company, and this is what we call a trump pump and the stock squeezed from eight dollars.

To 13 after hours - and we get this kind of insane action today from you - know twelve dollars and uh eighteen dollars at the open all the way to sixty dollars holy crap, that's crazy and this stock uh kodak. The float isn't like the float is low for a company like this, and that's why i moved the way it did. This is a lot of shorts, a lot of funds blowing up and that's how we had, i think, like five or six consecutive holds to the upside, and we have two unholds to a downside, very wild action. I had a short and a long on the stock and i made more money on the long side.

Well, i did take a loss on the short side you can see, but i'm scaling in small size once it didn't work you can see. I cut it right here and i had a really short on hold here about 22. I covered down here and i have another small. I think small loan here and this is where i started loaning around this 17 area.

So i had a loan here, but it's a starter size because i wasn't sure if it's going to work, but judging from the amount of shorts stuck in the stock, you know i had you know some idea. I had a small long here. It's really small. I understand 17 small size and i added once it crossed vwop and started testing the pre-market highs and added here.

So after this ad, i had an average about 19 somethings and i sold all the way into the young hold. I even re-added here and then my best sell was up here around 50 dollars. Oh insane action. I had no idea that was gon na hold on the way up so many times, and i will admit a lot of times like after this holds.

I really want to get out of all my remaining positions, but i literally couldn't because, after each time after the unholds here and here it went straight into the next hole to the upside, so i literally could not exit the position. Even if i had wanted to turn out to be a positive thing in the skies, and but i did still on the way up, but usually you want to get out of your most of your position just in case. It goes straight into a downside. Hold like this one and this one, so you know, there's definitely a lot of money to be made on the long side and short side i did get.

You know one more long here around the 30 mark and sold into 37. I had no idea. That's going back to 41 or 50 or you know back to 60 for that matter, so i just have to protect my downside and my exposure and not fight the trend you can see. The stock is later now back at 33.

So you can't just say: oh i wish i held the stock from ten dollars older to sixty. Nobody could have foreseen this kind of price action and it's always best to trade. Your plan, and if this kind of why call unexpected lucky event happens, then so be it, but you can't really plan for that. So, overall, a very nice day made small amounts of money on the short side lost some on the short side as well early on, but majority of the profit is made on the long side once we break out about 22 dollars and hold it on the way Up okay, so i also need to talk about my loser.

Of course the loser is amd, but i lost on starter size. I never added. I went in alone 76. 20S.

Thinking that you know once we break out above this new all-time high, we're gon na continue higher and you can see i kind of got trapped and i got stopped here literally. You know i literally stopped at the breakdown of this support level. I stopped out and the stock reclaimed and went down higher, so you know lost on starter size about a little bit over two dollars. A share no almost two dollars a share, but starter size, small position, small loss.

You know at the time i'm trying to manage my position on kodak. So overall, i'm very happy about this. This is one of those situations where you know, there's two things that you cannot fight in the market, donald trump and there's also the fed. So don't fight both of these things and you know in turn.

Maybe you want to loan these actions instead, so i was having some issues this morning when i woke up and with my trading laptop and i couldn't load the execution charts, but there was a lot of good plays yesterday, so i i just had to record my Solution is to kind of record on a trader view, since you can import all your trades, and you know i still have the executions and i can still talk about it in front of the charts. Hopefully, you guys understand and are okay with this, so the stocks that i traded yesterday was kodak, edsa and t-a-o-p, and all of these stocks i traded both on long side and short side well, except for kodak kodak is the only one that only has the loan Trade, so you can see no today we're closing we actually opened the week against yesterday. Yesterday is when we had the run to 60, and you know we had a it doesn't show the pre-market but pre-market. We actually rang up from 30s to 45s and after the open right here we just kind of started selling off, and you know i didn't really see a trade for me because i didn't have shorts available, it was restricted short and i so that means i could Only loan the stock, but i'm just not just gon na you know, buy any random support.

I will need to wait until the bottom is set and to potentially go long for a bounce. Essentially, so i waited until about you know almost 11. So, like 10 40, 10 50 area, i see a stock dip to around 33. I see it get bought up.

This is a one minute candle, so the price action after this dip here the selling slowed down - and that's where i took a starter long took a starter along here i sold some into the push. I was thinking we're going to retest at least 38 - maybe 39 40, if we're lucky depending on the volatility it is midday after all. But after that we did back down a little bit more back towards 34 80s, but we just kind of started holding you can see this consolidation stage and that's where i was really comfortable with adding and letting the trade work to a comfortable size. And you know once we are holding the trend, we started pushing sold some into 37s and sold some more in your 38 and so - and i was all out that was a very clean trade and you can see we kind of tried to touch 39 over here.

But we never got it and at the time it was starting to slow down. You can see down here. The volume is just decreasing from the open, so i'm happy with the bounce, and this gave me an average about 35 30's. You know after the ad ad at the average 3540's and then you know, got some.

You know sell around 37.38. So i'm very happy with this bounce play the other stock. I traded taop. So this one didn't show up on my scanner until a lot later and you know a chat room was pumping it.

I'm not gon na say whom, but it's a low float stock. It was running up on. You know some news, that's you know complete, but you can see the money rotation at a time the other stock edsa just kind of died down and at the time kodak was dying. So all the volume all the buying volume went into taop, which is the new runner on the day.

You can see the stock. No, there was no gap whatsoever pre-market, it didn't start running and making a move until 10 o'clock and that's late for these uh low floaters right. You can see the volume increase here right after 10 o'clock. So that's where you know i got interested.

I was mostly short the stock - i was short here shorted some more. There was a couple of halts against a low float stock, extremely volatile, and then i covered into here. By the way i was never red on the straight. I was really conservative with the shorts at the same time, because the stock was on ssr, so my size on the stock was relatively short.

I covered here into the the support here cover some more and this artificial move after this dip right down to six dollars. I'm so glad i covered they immediately. You know prop this back up to ten dollars like this kind of action can only be done with you know, artificial buying volume and - and it's not unnatural, on these low float stocks. But here i actually got some long.

Scalps really small, i'm really scared to buy. These kind of you know low flow stocks, especially when the company is clearly dilutive. If you look at a daily chart on taop, you can see that. So that's why you know i i can loan this, but i don't want to hold it for too long.

It's the same way with edsa, which i'll show you later on so along the hair sold into the rib and loaned some more and sewed. And then this is where i flipped a little bit short conservative size cover covered, and you can see they did the exact same thing here after this dip that immediately ripped it back up again. But i stayed away from this after the covers, and this is where i started shorting again, this short hair, i will say it's a little bit more aggressive because there was no clear top, but at the same time you have to understand that we've been running from 10 o'clock all the way to 11 and 11 30, all from the artificial volume of the same source that i mentioned earlier. So at some point the buyers are going to exhaust and they're going to give up, and that was kind of the idea here.

I i did scale in shorts here after we consolidated up here for a while, but i didn't get too big. I didn't want to get too aggressive on this kind of play, because if it does break 15, i'm gon na have to cut for a loss, it's a manageable loss, and i'm okay with that. You can see we consolidated for a long time, and this is where we got the sell off. They pulled the rug, pulled the bids and the stock immediately tanks from 14 all the way to almost 11..

So that's what i covered and i just left the chart alone. You can see the stock later um just kind of traded sideways for a bit and then tanked at the end of the day, but i was all gone for that part. Okay, so i just i couldn't get a chart to work to show me all the executions, because i definitely had more trades than this okay, so for this trade i did have some long pre-market. So that's why i made half of the profits on edsa, but it's not showing so you kind of just have to believe that i did play it long pre-market.

I mean you, can no. This doesn't show the pre-market trades either. Okay. Well, i did trade.

The stock pre-market - it's just not showing so along the here pre-market pre-market. If you look at the intraday chart on edsa, it ran up parabolic from about ten dollars all the way to 18.. I did have some long here, they're on a stock pre-market and after on the open. This is the way i started shorting.

I actually had a loan right at the opening ramp for like only a dollar, you know 13 to 14 or something like that and i flipped short. I had a lot more executions than this, but it's just not showing, and i i don't know how the to get this stupid website to work and i'm swearing way too much for this video. So you kind of just have to believe me that i traded the stock and i made the money on the loan side and then the short side. Even if you don't believe me, it's okay, too, it doesn't bother me and the reason the stock, you know i was leaning short bias after the open, especially after it went.

Parabolic is because of the daily chart. This is a stock i traded in mid june. I remember i was still in the quarantine hotel. They did exactly the same move they parabolic up and then just straight up, just you know, sold off after they opened, so i'm just trading the exact same behavior.

It did only a month ago. So, overall, i'm really happy with how i traded today, both on the loan side and the short side. I didn't outstay on the loans and i was relatively patient with my short on edsa. I think my best cover was about 12, but just not showing on this stupid trader view chart it's been a really good week and i can't wait to see what happens on friday.
