What's up everyone? All right So it was bound to happen. Today's a Red Day recap. Two great days yesterday of the day before it was up about $19,000 in two days. Well, today I'm giving back 1600 a little step back.

so I guess 10 steps forward and one step back I'm okay with that. but I'll say that I'm a little disappointed with my trading today because although I started in the red and dug myself out of the hole I got myself to up 400 from down a thousand to up 400 which by itself is a victory and in that moment I should have said you know what, let's walk away. the markets not hot but after having a couple of big green days I felt like I'm gonna stick it out because there might be something that makes a big move like we saw yesterday in the day before and in that moment I wasn't really trading the market that we were in today. In that moment I was trying to hit another big win because of how good it feels.

Feels great to have a big winner and so I decided to take a couple of trades. you know, kind of 10:45 11 a.m. and the first one I lost 1600 on or 1800 on and the second one I lost 300 on and just like that I went from a 400 on the day to down 1600 on the day. It's much better to be up 400 the down 1600.

And this speaks to the fact that being a consistent trader long-term it's it's about discipline. It's not enough to be disciplined 95% of the time because then in that last 5% when you go rogue and you do something totally stupid that's breaking your rules, it can cost you thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on how you trade Now I will say that I am grateful to have the presence of mind right now to say that I'm done for the day right because I could keep trading, I could just keep trading right here and I'm down sixteen hundred and I could you know try to jump on something that starts to move and maybe I would catch a winner and maybe I'd finish the day of three or four grand. But what more often happens is that I dig the hole deeper and deeper and deeper. My Commission's get higher and higher and higher and those are the days they end up finishing down five, six, seven thousand dollars.

So you know the only thing stopping me from continuing to trade right now is me having the discipline to walk away holding myself accountable. It's not easy, but it's really important so you know I say that for you guys too, because I know a lot of you will. You know you have a red day and you say no? I'm not stopping I'm gonna keep trading I've got to finish the day green and when you start doing that, you know you're so fixated on the day that you're losing sight of the fact that as a career big picture one red day here and there is no big deal. It's by the end, at the end of the year.

today's a day that I will not look back on. I won't alimony even think about it I won't even remember it. Today it was just another regular day. I'll remember the biggest green days and I'll remember the biggest red days.

But these little red days, they're insignificant. They're nothing so you got to learn to brush it off, let it go, and then just come back tomorrow. So I'll be back at it tomorrow. And fortunately, although I'm down sixteen hundred, that's not a big a big hole for me to dig out of at all.

If we have good momentum tomorrow, you know I could have a great day and today we'll be gone, nothing wanting to think about it. If tomorrow's slow, whatever. okay, maybe another slow day, but I know when momentum picks back up that I'll be able to have another really solid green day. So I just have to trade the market.

I'm in and stay disciplined and focus all right. So I Hope you guys enjoyed the recap. As always Questions comment: leave them right down below. Alright guys, so we're gonna do our midday market recap here.

Go over the trades from this morning. Today was kind of a tricky day. overall I'm down sixteen hundred bucks and I really I started going in the red pretty much right away. Gap scanner here BB I Leading gapper made 18 hundred on that see gix.

also a gapper lost a thousand on that. Those are the two I think off the Gap scan that I was focusing on and then the others were stocks to hit them almost scanner. So first trade out of the gates with CGI X on CGI X I jumped in it pretty much out of the gates for a break of the pre-market high and this is one of those examples where it just totally failed. So you know I lost a thousand dollars which isn't the end of the world but I never like to start the day with a read trade and that's exactly what happened.

So started the day down a thousand switch gears to be bi which out of the gates was pretty good for a gap and go set up. So my first trade I tried to take at thirty and I didn't get filled so I missed that one entirely. but I jumped in for the break of the half dollar. We got a quick rip up to 68.

Then we got a five-minute pullback right here which worked and another five-minute pullback right here which work. So I traded each of those and ended up making $1,800 JM Ia was a stock that hit the high day Momo Scanner it was something I jumped into as it was squeezing up. it reversed pretty quickly I Stopped out with a fifty dollar winner so nothing super exciting. a SNA another one that hit the hide a mobile scanner I jumped in it right here and stopped out and then it comes all the way back up here, pulls back and then comes all the way back up to here.

So really frustrating to get stopped out only for it to run, but that's the way it sometimes goes. G Npx I Took a trade right here anticipating the first daily candle to make a new high over 42. stopped out of that. It's back up at 34 now so that's a little annoying.

and then BH 80 I didn't take this trade right here I thought at the time I was like I don't know I mean it hasn't moved that much the volumes kind of light. so I think I'm gonna leave it alone. it ends up breaking out of that level and so I bought this first one minute candle to make a new high right here and then stopped out right here. so that was kind of disappointing, you know? and I bought twelve thousand shares of it so it was a bigger position.

I Was looking for a quick trade up over two dollars and took in 1800 our loss. So that put me with that trade. You know, whatever. 1045 I went from being up 400 on the day to down 1600.

So going from green to red, that's my cue to step back and walk away. I'm disappointed that I kept trading I should have probably seen the writing on the wall a little earlier today the fact that I started red and even got myself back to green, but BH 80 was moving up pretty quickly and in the last few days I've had some good trades between 10:00 and 11:00 so you know it just happens to be the case that today I didn't get that 10:30 to 11:00 breakout. but I mean I guess I would have if I jumped on this sooner and I kind of waited and trade it in a different way. but that's fine.

It's been a great week and today's a little bit of a setback, but nothing too serious. so trying to minimize the losses of course, as much as possible. and really, once I flipped red, it was alright. that's that's it.

time to walk away. So in a way, not a green day, but still up on the week from 13,000 Tuesday 6000 yesterday. so that's 19,000 and then - you know, today. So a couple big steps forward, a small step back, we'll see how we finish on Friday Maybe another big step forward? that would be nice, but you know I'll just come in tomorrow with an open mind to trade the market that I'm in.

If it's slow, its well take it easy if it's hot I'll step up to the plate and maybe we'll have some nice trades. All right, So that's the game plan. Kind of a quick recap here. A little bit of a choppy day.

Overall, very choppy eye. Today was not very easy. BBI Biggest winner vhat biggest loser And in fact the the losers were on stocks I had lighter volume. The higher volume stock BB I was easier for me, but yeah, we'll just keep at it, you know? I Always just try to remind myself not to get too bent out of shape over a red day here and there because this is part of trading you're always gonna have.

There's no trader that doesn't have red days, so you got to be able to just brush it off. Okay, it's a red day, walk away. If you get bent out of shape, you start saying aha I have to finish today Green and then next thing you know, you're digging yourself a big hole. so just try to avoid that as much as possible.

And today I'm throwing in the towel. Momentum doesn't feel as hot as it was yesterday and the day before, but it can come and go very quickly, so tomorrow could be right back at it or Monday or whatever the case is. and those are the days that I need to step up, put the pedal to the metal, and be aggressive. trade a little longer.

Today just wasn't that day so I should have walked away sooner. But anyways, that's it for me. I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning. Hey, have you seen my most popular video on YouTube It's got over 5 million views.
