All right. so this is going to be my second recap for 2023. Finishing the day? one thousand, thirty six dollars and Ninety one cents. A relatively small green day and you know, I Kind of this feels like the type of day that it's not really worth spending more time trading because the gains aren't coming.

Um, without a fair amount of challenge, it's It Feels pretty tricky today, so I'm pretty happy to hit a thousand bucks and and call it a day. Uh, I was up 1500 I dropped back down to up to 700 and now sitting at a thousand I'm thinking yeah, let's just take that off the table and and be done. I'm also trading with some distractions today, so just the fact that I'm trading at all is good. The fact that I'm green is great.

So I'm not going to overstay my welcome. So vvos, um, this one. I've actually read 200 bucks on and the reason is because I didn't take this trade at the open. Uh, even though we had that similar pattern on Jspr yesterday, I didn't think that this one was gonna go because the float is higher and it felt like it was really heavy on the tape and I just didn't think it was going to go.

But then right before the open, it basically rips and then was halted up within 15 seconds of the open. So when that happens, there was no chance to buy unless you were already buying pre-market Essentially, it's back to halting up here at the halt up level at 284 right now. But so my first trade on it was I bought the resumption for a dip and rip and lost 400 bucks instantly. So that brought me from up 1500 to up a thousand and then I took another trade on it down in here and I lost again I was I really thought it was going to curl and it kept not curling.

Right now we can see it's halted up, but that was a pretty weak halt up if I'm going to be honest, it's a halt up at the Double top, but on lighter volume. highest volume of the day. 3 million shares and it was on a red candle. Uh, so you know I'm just not sure.

um, so you know I I got back in it at um 2, 30, 2, 35 um right here 245 and I was stuck in a halt down right it opens, it squeezes back to a halt up and I was down about 400 500 on that trade I sold it for a minus 200 loss I was like, you know what? whatever I then got back in at 59 and sold that as it came back up here. But the problem is uh, at least for me. By the time it's showing strength, it's like at the hot level going up and then in a Flash it's pinned at the hot level going down and it's really easy to get stuck. and I don't want to be stuck in halts so I'm just I'm I just don't feel like today is the day for me to be pushing it.

Um, Jspr was my first trade of the day. This is the one that I did well on yesterday on that similar setup of a gap and Go, but this one halted up twice and was Stronger it was. It was definitely stronger. Uh, there was some news out this morning at 8 A.M So I got a quick trade on that one which was good and then that was my only trade.

that candle right there AMV this one um I got a trade right here as it came back up. got in at five, went up to 550. That was enough profit for me. and then Kala took a trade on this which was more or less break even so.

anyways, very brief recap. There's not a lot to go over. It was a pretty slow day all things considered. and you know yesterday I was thinking maybe yesterday is the type of day I should have traded a little longer because um, you know I did so well in the first.

um, you know, first 30 minutes and if it hadn't been the first day of the year, I would have traded a little longer yesterday. Today's the second day of the year and I traded. You know in my normal window here you know, eight eight a.m to 10 30 or so and I'm only up a thousand bucks. hey I don't want to say only a thousand A thousand dollars is great.

That's good money. It's not my daily goal. So since the gains aren't coming as easily today and I don't want to make that sound like this is easy because it's not. Trading is risky and it's uh, there's no guarantee you'll find success whether you trade with me or you'll learn on your own.

But having said that, some days it as a successful Trader will feel easier than others, and today's not a day that feels particularly easy so it doesn't feel like a day that Warren's pushing it. I do feel like Vvos has the potential to go up to three I Thought that as soon as it broke through 250, but I didn't have the conviction to just hold through this whip. So sometimes you have the right idea, but you just aren't able to execute on it for a variety of reasons. and any day that you can walk away with a little bit more profit in your pocket than you start with is a great day.

So today is another. Green Day I'm happy with the gains and this is exactly what I want to do in 2023 on days where it's not coming easily I want to just shut it down early and on days where it's flowing I want to trade a little longer and try to just scoop as much of that profit off the table as I can I think last year I left a little too much profit on the table on hot days and I think I over traded a little bit too much on cold days which created sort of a combination of churning a little bit more. Now listen, last year was still a great year, but we all want to look at what we've done in a previous week, month or year and say how can I do better And I think having refining my ability to know when to put the pedal to the metal and go hard and knowing when to just step back is going to be really important as we continue to trade through a bear Market So for those uh that have tuned in for the morning show I saw some people commenting hey, what happened in the morning show Morning Show on YouTube is on winter break all right. So uh, this month we are, uh, just streaming to members at Warrior trading and we're so happy to have you guys here! So new members new Warrior starter Warrior plus Warrior Pro members We've got a lot going on this week.

Um Trader Rehab starts Friday at 1pm Trader Rehab is then going to run for the next two weeks touching base with you guys three times a day. we'll have a morning, uh, afternoon, and then late afternoon touch point. So that'll be a two week long Trader Rehab program and then we're gonna start Trader Boot Camp. All right? So Back to Basics Boot camp is going to start in about two weeks and that'll be for Traders that want a little bit more hand-holding as you're working your way through the curriculum? So we've got a busy month ahead.

And um I don't want to, uh, distract you guys who maybe want to keep trading? look at that see right into a halt down. Now if it ends up being a false Halt and it is a false halt, it could pop up. But ah, I'm good with a thousand dollars. All right, So that's it for me.

Another small Green Day small green days add up a thousand dollars a day would be 250 000 a year, right? 250 trading days in the year approximately. So you don't want to lose sight of that. 2 000 a days. Um, 500 000 a year? Approximately four thousand a day is a million dollars a year, right? So any day that you're saying uh oh, I'm only up 500 I'm only up 700.

you are, um, your losing side of how well you're actually doing I've seen people say that, right? I'm only up 300 I'm only up 150. first of all, if you're green, congratulations, keep it going slow and steady. All right, So that's it for me. Thanks as always for tuning in and I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning.

live streaming and um, hopefully I won't have quite as many distractions tomorrow and the girl that usually watches our um, the two boys while I'm trading will be feeling better so. but if not, no big deal I can uh, I can work with less than optimal circumstances I'll just be mindful of that and trade a little more conservatively tomorrow the way I did today. Okay, see you in the morning.
