All right everyone. So I'm going to go over my trades for today. It's uh, not quite 10 a.m but I'm read on two out of the four stocks I traded and I'm down 2 900 which makes it my third consecutive red day. Not great, but not terrible in terms of these losses.

uh, being relatively small, my daily Max loss is five thousand. so I didn't hit the max loss today, but I did take a bigger loss on sideoo. So I'll go over the trades um that I took today starting with the first trade which was on AMV So AMV had news that came out at 805 I jumped in as that news came out, made 200 or 109 actually I made 300 on the first trade and then I got back in and lost 100 on the second trade. What? I noticed on AMV uh were hidden Sellers and so I got in it um like right as it was squeezing up at about 185, hits a high of 190, then goes up to 194.

I was seeing green on the tape but the ask the seller on the ask their order wasn't going away so that told me there was a hidden seller. So I got out, it drops down, it then comes back up right here and I was like well if it's going to come back up I'll try it again. So I got back in this time at 89 but with smaller size and then when it started to fall again I was like nope I'm out So I got back out and that was it. um those were my those are my two trades on AMV Pretty quick back to back so 194 dollars of profit to start the day.

Then we had sideu that came up and Sideu made a big move down here from like 50 cents all the way up to a high of 93 cents. So what I ended up doing on sideoo was and I don't regret this trade at all. This was a good trade. Uh, it was.

It was a fine setup and I just lost on it. So I got in right here at 88 cents. I was looking for it to pull away and squeeze up over a dollar. This is a pretty good setup for that pulling away pattern.

Ended up going up to a high of 93 cents. That's only four cents a share. I Bought 30 000 shares as my starter and I added at 92 and 93. it didn't squeeze and then in this candle it dropped all the way back down to 84 cents and here back down to 80 cents.

I Stopped out on this candle right here at about 84 cents right around there 83 cents. So you know that was a bigger loss. Um, because I took larger size. Every penny on the 40 000 shares is 400 bucks, 50 000 shirts 500.

So you know six cents on 50 000 shares is 3 200 in the red. Uh, so you know that was that. Uh, that put me in the red. pretty nicely.

My next trade was on Arnaz I was like well I'm gonna focus on the leading gapper which is our Naz I got in on this red candle right here uh I got in for the break but I was excuse me I was looking for the break of a dollar it hit 98 cents I got in at like 97 cents and then it flushed down here and I took an 800 loss on that one. All right. so cut the loss which is the right move and then moved on to the next trade. The next trade was Sierra S-e-r-a Sarah However you want to say it.

Uh, so this one I was a little concerned about the 200 moving average of the two dollars and 30 cents. I thought that it was a little thickly traded, but I took two trades on it. First trade was at 210 right here that hit a high of 215. It dropped back down and got out for a 200 loss I then got back in at 210 as it came up for a second attempt added 215.

took profit at 220. best exit on it. um was let's see if I got anything at 21. no best exit was 220.

so made 900 on that one. uh you know and and yeah I try I actually tried to get back in uh right here on this candle and I lost 100 on that trade so you know right now. Well, today, especially I'm deciding that attention is too dispersed and I'm just seeing even watching the chat room. Traders are talking about a bunch of different stocks some people are talking about AMV some are talking about X P O n some are talking about you at Upst.

so we're talking about s I. so there's a real dispersion. uh, is that a word? attention is very dispersed. So given that I'm uh, I sort of feel like I usually do better when collectively all the Traders out there are focusing on one or two stocks because they're super obvious.

That's when I do the best and that's the day where it makes sense to step up to the plate and be aggressive now. I do sometimes struggle when the obvious stock like we had earlier this week is 50 cents a share. I don't normally like trading those cheaper stocks, but if that is what's obvious, then it is important to be able to adapt to the market. So today, with attention dispersed, uh, with the leading gappers not performing well I don't think that I have a good chance at getting back to flat or even cutting this loss in half.

In fact, I think I have a higher likelihood of going back further into the red. So based on all that, I'm going to call it a day at minus. Oh, come on I'm gonna call it a day at Minus 2900 and live to trade another day. I'll be back at it of course.

As always, first thing tomorrow, my hope will be that Thursday and Friday are a little cleaner, but you know that may not be the case. One of the things that I certainly notice is that when we have a stock like Msgm which we had um I guess it was end of January or very beginning of February you know a stock like that can really send give us some good momentum. You know that can give us a really good move. not just of course in that one stock, but in the The Mark we can have uh, like two weeks or longer really hot momentum that's kind of triggered by one stock going crazy.

Now you know. Could Tcbp be that next stock? That could be? you know I don't know. Could Licn which I traded yesterday or LC yeah, Licn be that next stock I Thought so, but you know it sold off hard Chinese stock. so it gave three thousand dollars to some super you know, wealthy Chinese shareholder probably.

but whatever. Um, you know, Bfrg. uh bullfrog. AI Holdings Could this be the next one? Maybe there's a lot of maybes we don't know.

One of the challenges right now is that uh, I'm a little hesitant as a lot of Traders probably are to jump in something that's just starting to move. so by the time something is looking good, well shoot now it's extended and in fact, maybe now it's gonna pull back. Well, Sierra hasn't really pulled back all that much, but it hasn't really given that that much of an opportunity to the upside either. so it's been sort of choppy.

Uh AMV you know this one, by the time it was hit, it was extended. you know? and now again, as it comes up here, it feels extended I couldn't trade it up here so unfortunately that can be a problem. and then you just sort of are waiting for the stock that actually starts to really take off and you might miss the first, uh, the first part of it and you might have to be willing to say I'm gonna I'm willing to jump in this little higher because man, this thing is going and this, it's hot it. You know, today's a day where I'm you know, throwing 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 000 share orders out there on cheaper stocks.

Um, if only I could be that aggressive on something like Msgm. But what often happens is that I get aggressive when I'm kind of in the red I'm trying to recoup losses I'm you know, trading a little more aggressively. This is not uncommon for me and for a lot of Traders but then you know when I'm in the green and I don't feel I need to push it so hard I'm not as aggressive, but then what happens is I seriously under capitalize on the opportunity and this is something I was talking about in a recent episode which I'll well anyways I'll I'll talk more about that uh later. but um I have another episode I'm going to record it's going to touch on him but in any case, it's definitely something that um I'm aware of in myself and I want to work on improving which I think I'm doing an okay job of it yesterday and today I suppose by stopping before I hit my Max loss because sometimes that for me I'm it's and I mentioned this on the day I hit my Max loss on Monday that it's interesting This year I'd only had two red days but both of them were Max loss.

Maybe I need to get comfortable with just having a 2 900 red day because I think today's a day where I could be tempted to take 25 000 shares of you know, something like AMV and you know, look at that goes up to 245 and then just like that, you know I could be up 5 000 on the stock. so you know this is that. This is the thing to be definitely aware of. It's coming up to the halt level.

uh, you know I I have to manage risk I have to be thinking about uh, going slow trading. certainly when it's hot and when it's cold, cooling off a little bit and trying to ease off the throttle so you know it's great to see AMV squeezing up. Um I'm sitting down 2 900 on the day up, only 200 on AMV Right now it's halted. Some shorts are getting squeezed, but is it really going to take off? I don't know so you know this could be a good example of it.

Um, we'll just have to see. So right now as you look at it, it's like okay, it's extended right, it's halted up. Is it just gonna open and come all the way back down? Because that's what we saw in Lions Li uh NC yesterday and the day before you had some nice moves, but what happened was it gave the whole move back. it didn't hold up for really like second third moves.

It just didn't give us that level of momentum. It went up and came right back down. so on something like AMV you have to be watching this thinking okay, there's a good chance it'll come up and come right back down. It's running into some moving averages, you know it's that.

That's a risk factor so you have to watch to see if it can really prove itself. It might be able to, but I'm not sure. So anyways, good luck for those who trade this one or who did trade it today I hope you did well on it and I'm gonna shut it down here minus 2900 and live to trade another day. So I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning and maybe we'll have something like AMV that's a little bit more obvious a little earlier in the morning.

All right, I'll see you then.
