All right everyone. So I'm gonna give you my recap here for today: Monday Morning back in the saddle and a small green day 356.25 I Only took one trade today and this could have easily been a no trade day because there really wasn't anything that was that great. but Uncy was our leading Gap or gapping up uh, over a hundred percent. Let's see a gapped 187 percent is currently up 165 percent.

and at the open you can see here we got a red to Green move and that was my only trade I traded the red to Green move uh and locked up 356 dollars. The problem with this stock is that and and with stocks of this price range, my problem is that the moves are kind of small. They trade in a narrow range so to make good money you've got to trade pretty big share size. And if you trade with big share size and you have the misfortune of catching a big flush, you know you can suddenly be down three or four or five thousand dollars.

So it feels like the risk to reward for me isn't great on them. I've also heard short sellers if you mentioned that the risk to reward isn't great for them either because you know they're already so cheap. I mean the lowest something can go is zero so when something's at 80 90 cents, it's already a pretty cheap stock. And when these ones do squeeze and sometimes they do like am am moving up a little bit here today, you know these can be um they this one started down at 88 cents and it hasn't gone back.

it just stayed this high so all of a sudden you know it's up 800 percent from the lows. This one is a little annoying to me. I traded on Friday it didn't want to stick. it kind of was struggling and then today now from 6 50 to 750 up to eight, that's probably one of the cleaner moves today.

Um, but you know the challenge I think for me was that there wasn't anything that was obvious and attention felt dispersed. I saw a lot of people talking about Uncy, but I also saw a lot of people talking about Bbio. some other people were focusing on Gns which was a continuation setup and then Msgm popped up, but that was short-lived It didn't last for very long. Pretty nasty rejection there.

Azul Some Traders were talking about that one, you know? So it it just felt like attention was really dispersed today. And those are types of days where I find that I'm having a hard time focusing because it's like I'm jumping from stock to stock to stock I don't have enough windows and then all of a sudden I see something and I'm like oh I start getting frazzled I missed this one I missed that one I missed that one because you're just sort of jumping from stock to stock. but then by the time you see it, it's already starting to pull back. And if you finally just jump in, then you might find yourself getting in too high.

And because attention disperse, people aren't really focusing on that individual stock all that much. So anyways, um I Kind of figured today, just start the week off with a small green trade. Uh, you know I kind of like to think about more than just red and green days red and green weeks. so I was flat last week although I was red on Thursday and Friday uh, you know I was also agreeing nicely on Monday and Tuesday and so rather than get bent out of shape that I was read, you know on Friday and try to make back that loss I was like, well, you know, why don't we stop here before I go red on the week.

a break even or a small green week is fine. Uh, the week before that was a nice big green week. The week before that was a red week. So I've been in a little bit of a churn.

Um, you guys actually see, this is my P L here for uh for the year so you know. made some nice progress and then pulled back a little bit. Yeah, you know it's kind of just is what it is. Um, it's the last 30 days or so.

but again, you know Green week green week. and then this was a red week when I had this pullback and then I had kind of a sideways week or a small green week and then a bigger green week and then last week started on the 27th to 28th. so it was like a break even week. some actually small red week but again, it's like negligible.

so it's flat, more or less. So my thought here for this week is to try to just be patient. So I can have this P L curl back up next leg higher and that means on a daily today recognizing pretty early that it doesn't feel like it's happening and today's probably not the day that I'm gonna put in. you know, a nice big green candle.

uh on my P L chart. So maybe just reduce the risk and sit tight. So that was the plan for today that worked well and I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll sit down and see a better Gap scan than what we had this morning.

but you know I mean it. Some days are going to be better than others. Again, like I said, this could have been a no trade day and it would have been my first no trade day of the year. but I broke the ice with one trade on Uncy.

So I uh, have not had any no trade days yet this year. You know which for me would be a day where I show up looking to trade and there's nothing and I take zero trades. So today was the close closest call, but um, I did still end up getting one trade. All right.

That's it for me. Reminder: As always, trading is risky. My results aren't typical, and there's no guarantee you'll find success. Whether you're trading your own, you'll learn from me.

So take it slow and practice in a simulator before you put real money on the line. It'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning.
