What's up you guys? All right? So finishing the morning here in the green, back in the saddle, I started the day green. I went red and then dug myself out of the hole to finish green. So not really a great day. We'll break it down the only two stocks I was day trading.

uh M-i-c-t and G-r-n-q so those are the two I was trading. Um, green on the first, red on the second. Choppy Choppy Choppy. Not a lot of follow-through today so still a time to be a little more patient trading with smaller size, waiting for things to open up.

So you know I'm kind of like, um, you know, just like a fisherman just sitting waiting looking for that opportunity. When I see it, I'm gonna strike. but I'm not seeing it right now. so taking it slow, trying to be patient and hope you guys enjoy the recap and I'll see you guys back here first thing tomorrow morning.

I'll be live streaming right around um 8 45 9 a.m the watch list so make sure you guys are tuned in and I will see you in the morning. What's up you guys? All right? So uh, we're gonna do midday market recap. Go over the trades from this morning. So today I'm finishing uh up two thousand, one hundred and seventy bucks.

This is a small green day. I feel like I'm kind of spinning my wheels here. Um, Mict 4400 Grnq down 2200. so you know, let's kind of break it down.

leading Gapper today was Mict and this one, you know I mean it actually ended up giving some nice moves. But here's sort of the problem. So number One I traded it pre-market um from about 705 up right here through a test of the volume weight, average price. First one minute pullback and a breakout and I was up 3 600.

the bell rings. I don't trade it, it squeezes into a halt. It opens, it hits a high of seven. It then dips down and I bought that micro dip coming out of the hall at seven with ten thousand shares.

I was looking for that little blip down to seven. There was bid support at seven and then a squeeze up through 715 retest of 738. It instead flushed through seven, uh, right to 650. instantly down five grand and I was like oh my god this this is ridiculous.

It then goes into a halt going down at 6 37. I'm holding the full position on resumption from the halt. I added uh down here at 6 18. it pops up for a second and this is actually almost insulting to look at because man uh it pops up for for just a second at 6 18 where I got in, um up here as you can see to like 6 32.

It then comes back right here and breaks the low of 608 and I was like i gotta I gotta cut it loose I stopped out here at six, I took a um I don't know how I was then down six thousand on the day. So I guess it was like a nine thousand dollar loss right through here. stopped out moments later, it bounces back up to 30, pulls back, curls back up to 35 to 40, back up to 60 to 70. Back up to seven.

Seven dollars and ten cents. It pulls back and I got back in right here as it curled back over seven for the squeeze up to 720. it pulls back, drops down. I got back in, took another attempt through here through 710 715 up to 730.

It fails again, comes back up for another try. I tried it again and made back the losses, but boy this was choppy. I mean this was really hard to trade so that was frustrating. I felt frustrated.

I was up uh 3 000 and then down 6 000 and then back to up 4 400. Um, and the one trade I took on Grnq was also a halt resumption. Um, you'd think I'd I've learned, but no I didn't Um, so this halted twice in a row going up. and when you have a stock that goes up 100, that's when I start thinking okay, we've got 200, 300, 400 potential so it dips down here.

I bought the micro pull back in the 80s, added the 90s back up through two, couldn't break back over. the whole dollar flush is down and I'm out of that with a 2200 loss and so that was my day. And here you go. It's up here at three.

Right idea. Wrong timing. It is what it is. Um, you know, I mean, I'm I don't know, it's just it feels like, um, on the one hand, well, my Cto.

I'm glad that I cut that loose because that's down at five now. I mean that one, that one's certainly lower. But Grnq did end up going a little bit later and making a bit of a move. and you know I? I don't know, it's just sometimes, um, the case that these can be a little choppy and you know, finally breaking out.

but it's right idea, but wrong timing. So I feel like I've been a little off my game for the last. Um, I don't know. the last few days.

A few trading days last week or so did really great last Monday. Ninety two thousand dollars. But since then, last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday, Monday and Tuesday have been just spinning my wheels. So you know I come in every day even though I'm spinning my wheels because you know I.

It's not like I can just go away and say i'll come back when the market's hot because the way it is with trading is you might have five slow days in a row and then all of a sudden out of nowhere a big move and boom, that's a big opportunity. And it's a surprise. Where'd that come from out of nowhere, All of a sudden big move and then might be slow for another two days and then again out of nowhere. Big move and then slow again for a few more days.

So it's like unfortunately it doesn't really work just to say oh, I'm going to walk away. I'll come back when the market's hot because you don't really know when to come back and then by the time you do come back, you've definitely already missed a few of the first kind of momentum big mover stocks and you're kind of behind the game. So I, you know, I show up every day and I look for opportunities, but they've been a little fewer and further between right now, which is kind of, I don't know. It's kind of discouraging to not see better follow-through after having such an awesome hot streak, but again, it's better to kind of just spin my wheels a little bit and have a little bit of sideways chop versus ending up having you know, a really big loss or something like that.

Uh, Kodak. You know I saw a move on this one. Squeezed up short squeeze from 8 to 14 15 million shares of volume. It's got 19 million shares now, but you know I I missed that.

That was in the later part of the morning. I don't even know if I would have traded that. You know that's again. You know it's a nice move, but risk and reward.

And I think that one would have carried a fair amount of risk on it. So just kind of went straight up three three candles in a row without pulling back and then pulls way way back. So you know the hot, uh, momentum. It'll be back.

It's just right now. we're kind of in between. I think cycles are waves of momentum and it's a time to unfortunately exercise some patience and just try to take it a little slow until we get that next big mover. So that's the game plan right now.

Taking a little slow, not overstaying my welcome today. I could have come back on Grnq. I could have come back on Kodak if I wanted to, but hey, Green is good. Two thousand bucks it's not.

You know it's not my daily goal, but it's it's profit. So I'll take the profit. I'll take it off the table and I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning as always and you know maybe we see some better opportunities tomorrow. Seems like the leading gappers have been kind of choppy but mict kind of gave an effort at squeezing back up to the high.

I mean it didn't get all the way there but it made an effort redu. This one also put in a nice move so you know we did see some opportunities today. They were a little bit later in the morning so maybe requires a little more patience and um, being willing to trade into the afternoon? I don't know. but uh, in any case, uh, you know it's kind of one step forward.

one step back, spinning your wheels, treading water. But as long as you're keeping your head above water, that's good because every day you're in the market, you're gaining a little more experience. And you got to stay here because you got to be sharp because you never know when that big you know that big opportunity is going to present itself. And if you say oh, I'm just going to go away and come back when the market's better.

When you come back, you're rusty your risk tolerance. Everything's going to be kind of screwed up. You're not going to know what's been working. Was it Chinese stocks? Was it tech stocks? Was it pharmaceutical stocks? You're just out of the loop and once you're out of the loop, it you kind of just.

it takes time to get back into the loop. So uh, you know, ever. Basically in this year, um, my entire trading career kind of led up to this point where we had a crazy amount of volatility and I was able to really capitalize on it super well. And I did great this year.

and now you know a couple you know. For the last week it's been a little slow, so I just kind of kind of ease back sit back. I've got a nice profit cushion and just be ready. sitting, waiting, ready to strike when I see that next opportunity.

And the one thing that you have to be a little careful of is that during a little bit of a colder market, sometimes you can see a setup that in the hot market was something you wanted to be all over. But in a cold market, you got to be a little more a little more cautious. You maybe have to assume it'll fail and then wait for it to kind of false start, Squeeze out short sellers and really open up. So that can be a little tricky because you tune yourself, program yourself to see this and do this, and that works in a hot market, but in a colder market you that doesn't work anymore.

you've got to pace yourself. You got to slow down a little bit. You've got to be more particular about what you're willing to trade, so you know that's where that's where I'm at right now. Um, you know, kind of a bit of a bummer not to be up 10, 000, 15, 20, 000 on the day because those are nice days.

but Green is good and it's better than yesterday. So all right back in the saddle and I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning. All right. So questions, comments, leave them below and I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning.
