All right, good morning everyone. So we've got about 30 minutes to the bell. No trades for me so far, just sitting tight gap scanner this morning. we've got a couple bigger gappers.

Hymc right now is up 94 96, but as you can see, it's below its high. It's high is about uh, 297.. and you look at this and you're like, wait a second. I'm familiar with this stock.

What did it do last week? Last week it went from 60 cents all the way up to 265. and then it pulled back to 1.39 You know, now today it's popping back up a little bit, which is which is good to see. But uh, the float is a little higher on it and I'm just not sure that we're gonna see. I don't know.

I it's just hard to tell. The thing that this has going for it is that, um, that sort of surprise move. You know it. It does end up being a very strong daily chart above 265 because it's all of a sudden gapping and is above this level.

So then if we look back on the daily chart, we've got this high. here. we look back and over where next resistance levels and you can see that there's not any big gaps. There's not any big windows.

Um, you know it's just. um, it's just kind of been grinding lower. Now I'd say they're starting to get gaps in windows up here. around 450 450, up to five, you know, and then up to 648.

But those are also formed by red candles. So those are windows. Um, and and I did go and check the float. I double checked it because I thought, um, what I saw, um, initially was that the float was pretty low and I thought, okay, well, you know that's interesting.

Um, but in fact, the float is is a bit higher so I have to double check that figure. Um, the float here is 60 million shares according to their most recent filing. So it is a higher float and that's it's. always good to double check it.

Now when you look at a stock and it's trading like this, this looks like a higher float than a million shares to me. And so if one market data provider is saying it's a million shares, it's good to double check it because one of the things you'll find with market data vendors is that there are some inconsistencies. So anyways, that's Hymc. That's our second leading gapper.

our leading gap is actually Ixhl. This one's up 100 right now. A solid 100. And you know what's interesting about it is.

um, you know you've got this pre-market chart where you can see how it made this big move. It's got risk and the risk is that the volume is light. The spreads are pretty large, so I don't know that we're going to be able to manage risk on it, but it is a recent ipo. You do have this gap this morning as you can see, so you know just something to be aware of.

It is technically our leading gap of 100. Uh, next one down, we have Gfai, so I'll leave that on a side chart. Hymc on a side chart. Gfai This one.

the high here is 1.17 It's a little cheap. it's a little too cheap. Next one down Exn: 33 million share float A little cheap as well. Hey Trey, good morning.

Uh, next Gap or Nyna? I don't know. Doesn't seem like it's really gapping up all that much. Now we're into like 10 gappers Vr Px gapping up a little bit. These are all light gappers, so right now it's just kind of sitting tight, being patient, waiting for something to open up and then jumping on.

We see it. Hymc did give a little break of Uh 376 back here and it squeezed up to a high of Uh 289 and then kind of pulled back so dipped down to a low there of 263.. So you know it's it's just showing that it's having a hard time really. uh, opening up in a big way.

so I'm not really sure Ixhl I see it. I'm going to try to take a starter on it, so this is risky, but I'm just going to go for it and I'll add over 55. So putting my order at 55, you know this is the type of stock that when it starts to move, we could get a move up to 60. so I got a partial fill.

The volume is light, but you know my opinion on it is. If it wants to rip, let's give it a chance. So watching for an ad at 56 56, 40 right there added. Now looking for 61? look at how fast I mean and this is this is the type you got to be careful of.

I took a little profit. Now I'm going to add back 200 shares at 65, watching 65 and then Target would be retested. The pre-market high added 64-40 100 shares. So back of mind on this would be 75 85 The pre-market highs, right? You've got a bid at 59 59.50 It takes a little bit of guts to step into something like this.

I'm watching to add over 65 for the move up to 70.. holding a thousand shares and looking to add over 65 so a little bit of volume, it's all it needs to get back to 85 dollars. So new orders at 65. holding 700 shares right now? Hi, this candle is 63.

New order goes to 64. So my entry is 51.25 I bought in the middle of that green candle as it was spiking higher. This is one where I'm going to try to sell on the ask to get the best exit. Looking to add over the high 63 so added right there 62.89 300 shares brings my average up to 54 43 and I want to see if this breaks through 65.

If it does, then we're looking for 75. this is our leading gapper right now. It's up 162 percent recent ipo, so hi this candle right there. 62.99 Watch the break of 63 and then 64.65 Nothing wrong with watching from the sidelines on a high risk stock like this, but Target is 85.

That's the back of mind Target, and if we can break 85, then maybe we get to move up to 100. it's going to need to open up quite a bit more obviously to get there, but if it does, then it'll probably become easier to trade as volume increases. Hymc still on watch waiting for the break of 63. you've got a little bit of a bid at 59.

if 6312 breaks, then we should see 65.83 and 65 83 breaks. We should see 71. So that helps me position around 63. Now, I wouldn't have found this stock if it weren't for the Gap scanner if it weren't for the fact that it was already gapping up over 100 percent.

One of the things I like about recent ipos is that they're typically hard to borrow. So hard to borrow insiders not able to sell shares that can create the imbalance to the buy side. So I have an order at 65.83 ready to add. Let's see if we get that move back up to 75 or 80.

I'd like to see some green on the tape and see it surge through that level. Hymc still on Watch red Candle there about 800 000 shares of volume. We've got about 20 minutes to the opening bell, so I'm looking for 62 and 63. and then 65..

Has anyone seen if their shares available to borrow because I can't find any hard to borrow? No shares 2 000 share bid there 59. It'd be nice if we did get some sympathy momentum. so I'm holding 117 shares. We'll wait for the break over 63 to add back new orders at 65..

if I give it a little bit of an offset then I can get in with a little bit of slippage. so we'll keep that one on watch. New orders at 64.65 I'll put it for 500 shares. I look for stocks with the potential to be parabolic.

A recent ipo of 100 at a critical pivot like the psychological resistance it's you know, worth it. I'll still hold small size on it through this consolidation and look for a break over 62. 63 for the next trade up to 85. What am I thinking of? Ispo? Ispo in one day went from 14 to 108, right? So that's the.

this is sort of a similar pattern recent ipo, and if you recall on this one, it squeezed right at about 925 from 12 to 29. it opened and then opened at 14. and then it squeezed up. Started halting.

gapping higher, halted down first halt down, jumped lower, and then it kept going. So initially, Ispo was very light. Volume Very, very similar. It was the percentage gap was high, it was gapping up a lot, but the volume was light.

So that's the pattern. Recent ipo starting to open up. Maybe this goes higher, Maybe it doesn't But if it weren't a recent ipo, I wouldn't have taken the risk. But because it's somewhat similar to Ispo, I took the stab on the first trade.

So, but of course, with small size, managing risk, um, appropriately because as you know, trading is risky. most beginner traders lose money and even season traders like myself can take big losses. My biggest red day is 275 000. So I've taken some pretty big losses in my career and you know I have a willingness to take risk.

So I encourage traders to trade in a simulator before you put real money on the line. Sometimes it is better to wait for these to be obvious and obvious could be buying higher, but you know if you buy higher and then you get that continuation, you can do well. So we'll keep this one on watch. Over 63 hymc right now not sure.

Egg was 475 475 I think was the best day and probably wouldn't surprise you that the best day and the worst day were about a week apart. Market was very volatile and you know I was stepping up to the plate big time. I had the big green day and then the red day followed like a week later. So let's see overview.

So the biggest red day was here 478 Biggest green day Biggest red day was here 268. Biggest red day Biggest green game. So about 12 minutes to the open. Nice.

Kevin made 200 bucks on 20 shares. Good for you. My average is 54.43 I'm still holding 117 shares high. This last candle was 60..

reminder for those tuning in, Sure you hit the thumbs up. I hope you're subscribed to the channel. So once we cross over 1 million subscribers, I'm going to do another small account challenge. So those on Youtube appreciate you guys hitting the thumbs up.

So so Ixhl is up 153. It's our leading gapper. My average is 54.43 Hymc is our second leading gap. We're up 89 percent, but it has pulled back a little bit down towards the 20 moving average, so looks like Ix Hl is curling up here again.

I added there at 6089 and we'll add over 63 orders at 63 20. this is a 5-minute bull flag breaking out. Added 63-12 We'll add again at 66 adding a 66 there. Now looking for the squeeze up to 67 and 75.

Watching over 69 to add added 68. There's 70. There's 73. Now into the extension.

Let's see. I'm going to put a new order at 73. let's see the high. This candle is 71.

watch over 71 for a retest of 75 adding at 70 100 shares, trading in smaller blocks, and looking for the squeeze through 73 74. back of mine, Target is still a test of eighty five dollars. There's 73, watch over 73 for the next ad, and then 75 looking to add smaller size at 73 and 74. we're up 212 percent.

This is our leading gapper, so we're getting closer to our 85 dollar pre-market high Target added at 72. there's some green on the tape looking for a move up to 75 and then 85.. nice extension. Let's see if we get the break through 75 dollars.

there's 72.97 Spreads are getting a little bit tighter, which is good. This is very similar to Ispo. When Ispo started, the volume was light, holding 400 shares, watching on a dip are high 72, 75 new orders at 73. Five minutes to the opening bell.

watching for dip entries, our high is 72 75. So I have an order 73, then looking for 76 and then 88 added at 71.80 and 7238 for the break of 73. Then looking for 76.88 Level 2 is showing 88 dollars right above 76.. So I think if we break 76, we might see 88..

So this is our pullback. We had first pullback, higher volume on the second, I'll expect higher volume on the third. the apex is 72.85 and then we're looking for a move up to 75, 76, 77, and 80. we're up 270 percent, 207 percent.

So this is our leading gap in the entire market. Let's watch 7275 break Hymc a little slow right now. Watch for the ad here. Bid pops up 70, 71, 82.

So now we're looking for the break through 75, 72 five and then seventy five dollars. Two minutes to the bell holding 126 shares, new order add back 73. Took some profit at 70. I still want to see the break of 72.75 Hymc needs to break over 89.

Order on Hymc would be right around three dollars, so just keep trading. Breakouts on this: floats: 48 million shares, but Target's 85. That's the pre-market high or after hours high, so expect volatility at the open. Manage your risk accordingly.

Reminders always that trading is risky. Added right there for the breakthrough: 75. Now looking for a halt up at 80? We're looking for the break through 75 dollars and then a halt up halt up is eighty dollars and eight cents. Watching seventy four and seventy five dollars flat.

For now, watch for the next dip. Hi this candle was 74.78 New order at 75. just trading with 250 share blocks on it. Halt level 79 27.

Hymc is pulling back a little bit. added there into the halt up holding at 77.81 We'll watch dip and Rip on resumption. New order will be at 85. So this is the tough thing with halts is that you can't trade obviously during the hall, so you're just stuck.

It's showing a 100 resumption right now, which you know, I mean that would be awesome, but it's not going to give me a chance to add at 85. Ctrn nice squeeze at the open up to a high of 36.23 this one has bigger spreads. high is 26.23 s p 500 Moving up, Hymc pulled back too much so we ended up uh, getting pretty close to that target. Um, you know I'm I'm only holding 100 shares.

Small size. just didn't get good fills on my orders so the halt was at 31.23 about a minute to resumption. So if you end up getting a really high resumption which you know looks like we might then I would look for a dip and a rip as always, but with smaller share size. If I didn't already have a cushion, I wouldn't take the risk, but I have a cushion so I could take a little bit of risk with a dip and rip over 100.

I have to be a little bit careful of a possible halt down after a big gap up. Right now it's showing a hundred dollars as resumption which you know gives me some pretty big fomo that I'm only holding 100 shares, but I just kept getting partial fills. I tried to add as it broke through 75 and I just only got partial fills. so potentially 20 seconds to resumption if it's a five minute long halt.

but it has a good chance of being a 10 minute long haul because it's showing such a big gap. This is a good example of one where if I had just said now, I'm going to wait for more volume to come in or I'm going to wait for a better setup. I just would have missed the whole thing. So right now is a five minute long haul, my order's at 101.

So it looks like a 10 minute long halt. see Bttx showing 99 48, 98, 48 99. You know there's nothing. I agree.

there's nothing really else this morning, it's just our leading gapper. but you know, leading gap or 270 17 percent. I Xhl 48 million share float. But it had the rate of change and it showed us that yesterday on its chart.

Okay, just sitting tight right now. Resumption showing 97 28 Right now, let's take a look. Needs to get back over five. It's pulled back a little too much about a minute to resumption if it's a 10 minute long halt.

But as I said, big gaps can sometimes haul longer. All right. So got my order at 100 bucks. Looking to see if we dip and then rip through a hundred trying to add some profit, while managing risk when it's extended is a challenge in a hot market.

you know, sometimes we get multiple halts in a row in a cold market, sometimes we haul right back down and so let's see what it wants to do. We're still halted right now Indo. let me take a look. Mm-hmm Yep, off the two of the 20 moving average.

So yeah, it's disappointing. On Hymc was not able to hold up. Yeah, Ltrpb is another one that's had a history of making some big moves, some huge candles. This is a day where it went to 134.

Indo got in the 80s. ispo went up to what was it? 108. Yeah, 108 before it pulled back. So you know that 100 level is pretty important.

It's just tough when they gap. So if this gaps from 78 to 98 to 20 point gap, it's easier to trade when there's more price, action, and less of these huge gaps. But what can you do? You know these ones are risky. that's for sure.

Biggest gap I've ever seen on a hall. Well, those would be gap downs. We've seen 50 70 gap down on a halt. We've seen some really nasty uh gaps on a halt down and it's typically on something like Ispo.

It could happen on Ix, Hl for sure. This is a risk with these. They squeeze up, they gap higher, they gap higher, and then when they reverse, the bottom falls out and you don't have buyers there that are willing to buy that really hard drop. I mean you do have some dip traders, but look at this gap down here, you know, halted down at 51 and opened at 34..

now that presented a dip, it did. but you know, the risk was still there. But then a halt down and opening flat That's always bullish. Yeah, Dwac had a pretty bad, um, halt resumption, gap up at 110, up to 175 and then gap back down.

Uh, so I'm I've got my order block for 250 shares, just trading a little smaller up here, order's ready at 100 bucks. So the decision of adding and selling is based always in that moment watching the level two and the tape. Since I'm only holding 105 shares, you know 20 20 points is 2 000. So you know that would add some profit for sure.

But it's not. It's not super significant, so I'm hoping to get another really good trade on it. I'm hoping that we start to get into a zone where I can get aggressive watching. Let's see if this falls halts.

I'm holding 100 shares watching for a false halt. so I'm going to try to buy the dip as long as it holds this high Back here of 78, I think that looks pretty good. My average is 77.81 So you know, if that had false halted, I would have been a buyer. But that's profit taking and that that is to be expected.

So the hall was down at 81.. So if we resume anything above 81, I'm a buyer and then we look for a breakthrough 90.. Now if we look at the Ispo chart, this one opened up a lot more. before that red halt down, so I don't know where this one's gonna base out.

but right now it's showing 79.48 So I'm going to put an order at 82 just to kind of get it ready. But you know this is the unfortunate thing with these, um, with these halts is that you missed the entire opportunity to trade it up to 90 and then the pullback. You know the trade got broken up by these halts. so you got your 85 target, you hymc? Nice Rob.

Nice dip. So I almost punched the order there on the halt down thinking it was going to do a false haul. And then I just hesitated for a second. I was waiting for a little bit more green on the tape and then we didn't see it.

And that was probably the right move because I'd be in now. at 81. At the halt down, it's showing an 80 resumption, which is, uh, not bad. I mean, we still have a few minutes to resumption, but about two minutes.

but at the same time it's always risky because when you have something that's extended, it can gap lower the way it did here in this case, Kavl. I see that one moving higher your 200 moving average is at four dollars. Okay, so watching resumption here, Let's see. So I'm going to watch here for an ad at 83 8283 so added right there at eighty dollars.

Halt up now watching for add over 85. watching over 73 watch false halt down here. Added it 7290 for the false halt. Now watching the pop back up over 80.

this is a pullback down towards support. Watching for the pop back up. Trying to buy support on this average is 77.93 So waiting for that 10 second chart to curl. the height of this candle is 75 20.

So watch over 75 dollars and 20 cents. I'm not selling on support. This is a support exit. I wouldn't do that.

I'm going to hold for the curl back up. So again looking for that first 10 second candle to make a new high over 75? 20. I have this candle back here. Let's see is 90.

my average is 77 Kavl. I'll keep it on watch. So the halt down was 70.85 I want to see it resume above that level. Holding 500 shares put in order to add 500 shares, put my order at 72.

So we're showing a flat resumption right now. What's up on Vex? Oh yeah, can watch Vex. Let's see if it breaks through. There's 70.

Vicks up to the halt level. Small Trade New order: 37. Watching resumption on Ixhl stop on Vixx Ixhl showing a flat resumption. I'm surprised Uvxy isn't following the vix.

Putting my order at 70 on Ixhl 500 shares. Let's see where Ixhl wants to bounce. V Web is around 67.94 Vix will watch presumption s P going up. Watching I H I I X Hl for a washout, long for a bounce.

The high was 90. it's got a lot of range. Vixx watching resumption halt was 56 50. So new order on fix is going to be 37 50.

we'll start focusing on this a little bit more. Two minutes to resumption on Ixhl. so it actually looks like um, yeah. okay.

um so about 30 seconds to resumption on Vix. So let's watch Vic's resumption. 3690 was the high. Putting an order at 37.50 looks like it's pulling back.

Let it pull back. New order goes at 37. watch possible break over 37. that went too fast.

So now watching the high 37.75 added right there for 38.. now look for 38.50 watch for the ad and then 38.50 I managed to be read on this. It's kind of ridiculous. I got a terrible fill on my entry.

Ridiculous watching Vixx again. I'm going to change my hotkey so I can trade this one. Halt Levels: 3980 on Vix 39.80 Going into another halt there new orders at 39. Uh, 40.

halt it again. So now you're getting a bit of a short squeeze on the Vix. So watching, um, Ixhl for a bounce? Yeah, I lost 1900. I got a bad fill and then when it popped up, I got out for a small loss.

So whatever, it's fine, I I'll reposition and try to get back in. I got in at 38.25 I filled like way high on this wick and then it dropped back down to 38 37 45 and I was like oh my God, come on. So then I got out when it started to come back up to 38. I knew I was in high so I had to manage my risk on it.

I bought 10 000 shares and I was down. I don't know 6 000 so manage the risk. Watching about two minutes for possible resumption on Ixhl? Um, nice Thomas. Good job, Good work.

All right. So we should have one minute to resumption on Ixhl Showing a 59 resumption. Let's see if we pop into a halt up after two halts down. so two halts down.

Let's see if we haul up. so putting an order at 60.. So let's see if we bounce off this 53 level. It's a weak resumption 53-10 on the ask, another halt down.

So that's unfortunate. My average is uh, 77.93 I'm down 12 000 on my position right now, so we'll end up giving back some profit on this one. We'll watch Vix on resumption. You know, I put my money where my mouth is.

I thought it was gonna go higher. So look at Vixx now. halting, almost halting down, quick bounce, long watch for an ad over 40. that was a good trade.

So our high right there was forty eighty four. My average is thirty eight. Added right there up to the halt level. Now looking for 41 Watch over 40.85 So some nice trades on Vixx? Hi.

This candles 4125 watching the hot level to move up. Watch Now 41.80 added at 62 looking for 75 and then 80. took the loss on that one 75 look to add back on another dip. Our high is 4163 so high was 41.65 That's level to watch.

So our high was 41.65 watching fix. So still watching Ixhl for a bounce and a halt up? Vixx? I'm watching as well. Vixx seems like it's topping out up here though the high that candles 4165. So unless that level breaks, I think that's the top.

Vixx needs to break over 41 watching around 41. Vixx kinda looks like it might be curling, but I'm not sure. Added there looking for 75 and 85. Got a couple big bids popping up.

Next ad is going to be 41. added there. Now looking for 4125 on Vix and 4150 As we start to open up watch? No, gotta cut it back to up. only 1800 on that one Ixhl halt levels coming back up, watching Vixx for another possible bounce off the halt down big spreads on Vicks Big Whips, so that was a rejection there at 41..

So now your five minute is a big red candle. I only made two thousand bucks on Vix in total, even though I had an awesome dip trade right down there. At 38, it was small size so I didn't make enough on it Ixhl watching resumption. So I was up 8 000 on Vicks but gave back six of it.

Seven, I think I was up Ten thousand for a second. halt down is 38 19. So still looking for that washout? Long in the first bounce? The first halt up Vicks At the halt down. I don't want to do a false halt attempt on this one because I think it's pulled back a little too much.

Let's see, Vic's not halted yet. Is it going to bounce there? It goes big range on Vixx, but made a little money on it, so that's good. All's well, it ends well. You? Okay, so we'll see.

if Ix Hl bounces looking for a bounce on resumption, we'll see if we get a halt up. You know this is the risk of trading these light volume stocks. Uh, forty one S P High is 4 21 33. I don't see anything else moving this you vex back at the V web.

H Hymc What a move on Vixx. Pretty wild. Another halt down is 3360 right there. Watch for bounce.

False halt back up to 34. 200 Moving averages right here. I added a 62 for false halt and it moved back up to 34. Looking for that? pop? back to 34.

200. Moving averages right here. 36 up. Here is our Uh V Wap So I'm looking for a pop back to V putting an order at 35.

for profit. Well, we did have one really nice false halt on Vixx so we'll see it halted for real. but we'll see if we get a curl back up to the V web. My average is 33.62 looking for a bounce back up to V App which is at 36 18..

support is at the 200 moving average which is 33.14 So 50 cents of risk versus 1.50 of profit potential 500. you so watching. Resumption on Ixhl Disappointing Halt up is 45 10. it spread almost between the Halt Up and the hall down.

so up only 3 800 on it hauled up is 42.67 So resumption on Vicks Watching in about a minute and 30 seconds. So I'm looking for a pop on this support around 33. add around 33 and then curl back up to 36 18. Halt up on Ixhl is still at 42 67.

42 43 Ix Hl How up is? uh 43 86. So it is approaching the halt up, but whatever. Watching Vix, so on Vix, I can't see the resumption price. Does anyone see a resumption price? Watching 33 Support interesting you you you? So watching resumption in about two minutes on Vix, still looking at the volume weight, average price so 3306 is possible Support: That's also around the 200 moving average 33 14.

About 10. Uh, one minute to resumption Ixhl halt up is 45. The problem with the chart is it's too far below V Wap. just letting it be.

I tried that dip around 80 or 77 for the curl back up. Uh, the false halt and then it. It just dropped. but I got one.

really. I mean it did pop but and take the profit. I was looking for the move up to 90. or maybe I took some.

I don't remember. But uh. Vix watching this for a pop back up to 34.50 35. So watching Vix watching support Unbelievable.

Lost twenty nine thousand dollars on Vixx? That sucks. Man, that really sucks. What a disaster. Went from up 30 000 on the day to down 25..

Um, boy, that sucks. Well that's the life of a trader. It's ups and it's downs. That's just the way it goes.

man. you win some you lose some unreal unreal man. Quick. Well, what can you do? You know that's life.

There's nothing you can do that's part of trading. You don't get winners if you can't handle the losers. So I'm gonna call today a red day and we'll make it a successful red day by not taking any more trades at this point and just let it be a 25k red day. It's probably the biggest, almost biggest red day of the year, but it's better to let it be a red day than to dig the hole deeper.

What a turnaround! Big swing today from up 25 30 000 to down 25 000. Well, it's a reminder as always that trading is risky. It really is. It's not easy.

Even after years and years of experience, it's not easy. It's hard, and it's very, very frustrating. And that, for me, was a very frustrating, uh, very frustrating swing that I just took. But you know, I can't feel too sorry for myself.

I've got over 10 million in gross profit trading momentum. and in that, there's been a lot of big red days. And today's not the biggest red day. So it's a small red day.

And small red days are part of being a successful trader, keeping it small, keeping it tight, and then coming back to live another day. So that's what I'll do. I'll shut it down there, down 25 000 and I'll try again tomorrow see if tomorrow's a little bit better. You.
