What's up everyone? All right? Well here we are. Thursday morning finishing the day up 18 700 bucks. It's a pretty good day, right? Well, it is. But um, you know.

The thing that's a little annoying is that it was up 22 000 and I kept saying how I don't like Sbfm. I don't like Spfm. It's a choppy stock. It's I don't like it.

I don't like it. No. But then I traded it anyways. lost a thousand, first made 100 bucks, then lost a thousand, then it was down 1800 and then made back 600, was down 1200 and then jumped back in and lost 4 grand.

So now I'm uh, sitting at 18 000 on the day and I'm like, dude, Why? you know, not the best example of discipline. you said you didn't like it, but you traded anyways and then you lost on it. So yesterday, sort of. Similarly, I I worked my way to up 14 000 and then gave back about four grand off the top.

Finished at 10. but on Tuesday I worked my way up about 20. I dipped down to like 19 and then surged all the way up to 32.. So you know if you look at sort of these P L's on these different days you know the last two days will get up and then it'll give back up and a little give back whereas Tuesday was up will give back and that was the stair step for the next leg up.

And it's because on both of these days I or these last three days I've had a cushion so I felt like, okay, I can afford to take a little bit of risk and let's see if I can roll this, you know, fifteen twenty thousand dollar day into a thirty forty thousand 000 day, right? I'm not going to take that risk if I'm only up 2 500 on the day, but if I'm up 10, 15, 20, 000, you know, clearly there's some momentum. this might be the day I can stretch it and get that move. You know, in A P L up to 50 Five hundred thousand dollars? You never know. So I'm stepping up to the plate.

Uh, but only on one of these last three days did I really, um, kind of get that next leg up. So you know it, I'm kind of in the last three days of that approach, you know, made an extra 12 000 on Tuesday, but then lost 4 000 yesterday and lost about 4 000 today. So net still an extra like four grand on the week from kind of trying to trade a little longer into the day. That's good, but yeah, I don't know, it's just it's a little bit disappointing when you don't see that continuation.

And I think one of the problems today is that we had some action pre-market we had some pre-market gappers, we had some pre-market breaking news, gave us some good action, and then coming into the open they had sort of pulled back a little bit so we didn't have a super obvious gap and go for the opening bell. There were like four stocks or five that were kind of interesting and that's a problem because attention gets dispersed. You can only watch so many stocks at once. When you have this much stuff going on, it starts just get frazzled and you multiply that by the whole trading community out there.

All traders are in the same boat. They're like, I don't know what to watch. Too much stuff is moving. This is popping up.

It's dropping down. Now this is popping up. It's dropping down. I, I don't know.

I can't focus and you don't get as good of follow-through or as good of resolution as when there's one really obvious stock. When there's one really obvious stock, that's when we do the best and today we didn't have it. So yeah, I guess that's just the way it goes. That's the way it is today.

But uh, finishing at 18 700 gave back a little profit off the top and kind of just trying to position myself. so I'm here and ready to go the next time. We have a really hot stock that takes off so that's where I'm at. I hope you guys enjoy the recap as always, make sure you hit the thumbs up.

Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. This Monday coming Monday at 1 Pm Eastern, I'm gonna host a class right here on Youtube. The same as I did this last Monday. So the topic will be on scalp trading.

Take it slow, All right. Enjoy the recap. All right. So finishing the morning at eighteen thousand, seven hundred bucks just took a uh loss.

A good size loss on Sbfm right here. Uh, bought 12 000 shares for the break through 840 and you know, I mean it's kind of funny because I kept saying i don't like the stock, I don't like the stock and no, it's the biggest. My biggest loser. I should have just stuck with my guts and not traded it.

I had a cushion so I just sort of was like well, it's moving higher and you know it did. It certainly moved higher, but it wasn't really that clean and so anyways, uh, caught. Caught a good loss on that one. Um, about three thousand dollars was already down a thousand on it, so gave back another three grand on that trade.

But that's okay. My high today was about twenty 000. I'm sitting at 18 700 right now. it's still a good day.

I'd rather stop here and keep it green then have that go smaller and smaller and smaller. So those are my. That was my biggest loss on Sbfm, but I traded it throughout the morning. I traded it pre-market We had this squeeze here.

I traded it as it came up here. I traded it again kind of in this candle right here. but I was never able to do well and I think that trade that I just took was one of my biggest size uh trades of it on the day and then sure enough that's the one I lost on. Uh so from the bottom up, the second biggest loser mnts.

I tried to trade on this at the open um around for a pre-market for the break of V-wap uh it has curled up nicely but I didn't get back in it. so just down 20 bucks on that. Brcc took a trade on this for the break through this level here get a flat top at 28.50 squeezed up to 29 didn't hold that level, only made 21 bucks 22 bucks seed traded this one pre-market Was looking at taking some more trades in this area but it just didn't quite feel right. It came into this double top so my trades on it were It was right in here that I took a trade on it.

So nothing really big but got a little profit on it and then Imac. Uh, pre-market I'm sitting down and Imac has this uh, news headline that hits 847. I bought at 848 as soon as I saw that news headline I was in. uh, less than a minute later I happened to be looking at the Gap scanner and all of a sudden it said 45 Gapper Mnts was the leader and then it was Imac and I click to level two.

I first I type in here Imac, I pull up the chart and we had this green candle that was forming. I type in the level two, I saw the news right here holding completes Walmart Pilot and I saw these bids at 135 and I saw it starting to get bought up and I started punching orders and all of a sudden we got this like it was already moving up. It had already squeezed up from Uh 117 to 130 135 and I was getting filled at 140, 145, 148 and then 183, 195, 202. And all of a sudden next thing I know we're seeing three dollars on the ask.

I took some profit in the 80s and then I added back 291, 304, 310. I was like this thing, let's see where it wants to go. It ended up hitting a high of 314 and then I stopped out at 295 and 261. As it came back down, I added back on a dip at two at a dollar ninety and I added again 73 and 63 and took profit as it came back up into the high 70s and 80s.

But anyways, it was just a like algo spike. Breaking News jumped on it and right placed the right time and made 22 000 on it. So that was my biggest winner today and I was hoping it would hold up and it ended up pulling back and I was in this area dip trading but then high volume on the red candles. couldn't get back over V Wap and now it's kind of like settled back out so I'm disappointed didn't hold up better.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. You just never know. But in the moment Breaking News jumped on and wrote the momentum. So I think one of the problems that we had today um, Sbfm, you know it didn't have, it wasn't super obvious seed, you know you had news on it.

but going into the open it had pulled back so we didn't have really obvious momentum. We had action pre-market and then going into the open nothing was really obvious so I wasn't able to extend pre-market profits into a really solid like 30 40 000 green day like I did. um on what was it Monday? but or Tuesday? but that's okay. Um, you know this is today is kind of like yesterday.

Uh, made some money and then gave back a little off the top. Yesterday I was up about 14 000, finished at 10 000. today I was up 22, finishing at 18.. these are green days.

These are good days. So 10 000 yesterday 18 Today that's 28 plus 30 on Tuesday. So that's um, Six, almost 60 plus 2 000 on 2500 on Monday. So it's a 60 000 green week right now.

And just like that, I'm already at 60 65, no 68 percent of how much I made in the entire month of March. So making some good progress here. You know, a couple more 15, 20, 30, 000 green days and I'm gonna be over a hundred thousand dollars for the month of April. so I want to try to keep the momentum going.

We are seeing some opportunities. It's been a little sporadic. we've had some, uh, choppiness. Sbfm was very choppy yesterday and again today.

Imac didn't hold up. Brcc ended up topping out, so did seed. so I am kind of waiting for the next one that not only breaks out, but holds and continues. But in the meantime I'm catching some base hits.

I'm being a bit aggressive and it seems to be paying off, but one of the things that's so important remember with these types of stocks is keeping tight stops. You know, I lost 3 000 bucks like that on Sbfm and it was the right move to hit the bid and bail if I had held the full 12 000 share position. Let's see. So my exit on this was, um at 25.

it went all the way down to a low of 770. you know I could have lost on that trade from. I mean I could have lost 9 000 bucks on it. So I minimized the loss to about 30.

Only 30 of what it could have been if I kept holding. and that's that's that's I mean good. I don't know that you can do a lot better than that. You will fumble.

Sometimes I do too. Uh, I had a couple trades on Sbfm where I was green and then I didn't take the profit. I mean even right here, it went up to 55 and I didn't take anything off the table and then it dropped. So some of these are going to be tough, but that's part of trading and trading is hard and it can be very difficult when the markets aren't super forgiving and they're not always going to be super forgiving.

Being a good trader means being able to get through the choppy markets. So when the markets are hot you know you can really thrive. but sometimes it's survived till you thrive. And in a choppy market just keeping your head above water until the next stock provides a good opportunity is is the best you can do.

And so sometimes I'll have periods where I am just break even for you know, a week or two weeks or three weeks. I'm not making good money, I'm just kind of grinding break even and I'm waiting for the next one to give us a big move. So we've had a couple big moves here, but we're not seeing things holding up super super well. so that's the problem that I'm having at the moment.

But uh, I'm hopeful that we can get to the other side of it and you know it only takes one to really give us that parabolic move. We had a couple great ones in March. We had Lll in one day, from two bucks to seven bucks. We had Nrsn in one day.

from two dollars to eight dollars. Um, or it wasn't an Srn. Whatever it is. Um, so I'm waiting for the next one.

You know that gives us that kind of move. I hope that we'll have it, uh, sooner rather than later, but we will have something that gives us. you know, one big green candle like that at some point during April. I I'm almost positive because we see it pretty much every month.

So I just hope that I'm able to be here to capitalize on it when it happens, and so that'll be my goal. Mnts, You know this one. grinding higher. It's definitely a grinder coming up to its resistance.

These ones can be good, but I um, I, I don't like grinders as much as the fast movers, so that's my preference. And because of that, I sometimes end up missing these opportunities. But that's okay. You know, I'll I'll catch, I'll catch other ones you know down the road.

So that's it for me today. Kind of a short recap. I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow. Morning Morning show starting around anyone time between 8, 30 and 9 depending on what's going on and hopefully we see some better opportunities.

Why didn't I trade bbai today? So I didn't trade bbai because of that big red candle yesterday? Uh, I just was like, i don't know if I can trust it. You know, we had that nice candle but then it reversed. Uh, the nice squeeze and it reversed the whole thing. And that's what I'm not liking are those reversals.

So it's the same reason I wasn't really feeling confident on Sst. You know, sst that red candle on Monday or Tuesday. Whatever it was, I'm not liking those red candles and they screw up the daily chart. So Sbfm was sort of the same reason I was iffy on it.

I was like, i don't know that daily charts kind of gross, but you know it. It went higher and I tried to trade it, but then I ended up pushing my luck on it. So whatever it's it's fine. It's water under the bridge, but what I'm looking for is the front side of the next move.

That's where I'm gonna get aggressive front side of the next move. So we got some front side moves on seed Imac and a little on Mt. Mnts. but s Bfm, you know if we ask, relative volume.

Relative volume on this was lower than yesterday. so this was a 44 000 loss that I really could have avoided. Now today I had the cushion to take a little bit of risk and I did. You know yesterday I had the cushion to take a little bit of risk and I did.

And on both of these days I ended up giving back a little bit of profit. So you know, but one of these days, that cushion to take a little risk is gonna help me turn a twenty thousand dollar day into a thirty forty thousand dollar day. Uh, and that's exactly actually what happened on Tuesday when I was up. 30 grand.

All right. So so that was one day where it worked and the last two days it didn't work. But I still think it's the right decision to try to stretch a little bit because when it works, it can work really well and those can be some of the days that I end up sitting at 50, 75, 100, 000. So when it works, it can work really well.

Uh, when it doesn't, you know I can give back some profit. I just have to be careful not to give back too much. So anyways, that's it. Um, yeah, I see.

um was it Iv ic Vx going up? Um, it happens to be easy to borrow. The volume is kind of light. 39 million share flow but yeah, I don't know. we'll see So anyways, that's it for me.
