What's up you guys? Alright, Well I got a bailout I'm up $20,000 today and it was not expected. so wow, that really turns my month around thank goodness. So here's the cool thing. the trades that I took today that we're gonna break down during the recap straight off the watch list TW MC All right, straight off the watch list and the strategy for my entry was straight out of chapter six in Chapter Seven of the Warrior Pro Course on trading stocks gapping up TWM See those gapping up over a hundred and twenty percent? Alright, so the bell rings I Jump in for the break of the pre-market hide I Ride that momentum.

it squeezes from 550 to six - seven - eight - nine all the way up to nine dollars and seventy five cents before it finally pulls back. it dips down below view app and then does another set up on a breakthrough view app I made over twenty three thousand dollars on that one stock no three stocks I'd traded I ended up being read on and I cut the losses really quickly and said you know what? I'm gonna walk away here with twenty thousand dollars in my pocket and now I'm not gonna push my luck anymore. So today was just I mean it was a it was a gift from the market. It's not every day that you get a stock on a gap and go set up that moves up that much.

Our goal trading gap in Gavin Go Stocks is to find stocks that have the potential to squeeze up another twenty to thirty percent from the open. Well, this went up almost a hundred percent from the open, so it far exceeded sort of the the expectation. but I'm not gonna complain about that. I'm really happy.

It was a nice big win and it was exactly what I needed. Now as you guys know you know, I I Had a big red day earlier this week and so that red day it was me being too aggressive on the wrong setup. you know, took a big loss. but today it's a bailout.

Gets me back up into the green on the weak, very green on the weak, which is terrific. It's just exactly what I needed. So I hope you guys enjoy this recap. Give me the thumbs up for the big green day today.

Make sure you hit the subscribe button if you haven't already and check out the link that's gonna be right down here. If you want to get into our warrior Pro classes, you want to learn the strategy side by side with me. Get started today. All right you guys! There's no reason you couldn't have taken this trade side by side with me or even gotten in before me because it was on the watch list and we were breaking it down at 9:15 a.m.

the Bell didn't ring till 9:30 All right. So I hope you guys had a good day today and I'll see you first thing tomorrow morning for Friday Wild card right? All right. r1 So trades from today traded for stocks green on 1 out of the 4 and that one big winner is TW MC over $23,000 of profit on it and I just gave back about 1,500 on my last trade which I took long at 67 here and then added at 8. The high was 810 and then it flushed down here to 715 so popped back up and I was able to get out but unfortunately I gave back some profit on that last trade.

I was looking at it as it broke through the V whap for possibly I moved back up to 825 850 and then a squeeze to the high a day, but it didn't end up doing that. So today. honestly, today's a bailout for me from what has been a really difficult month, you know I've had a few great trades, but I've also had a few terrible trades and I was well into the red on the month coming into today. So and actually I stopped looking how red I was on the month because I was like, you know what, knowing isn't gonna help me, it's what is it gonna do for me If I see I'm down 15,000 on the month or I'm down 20,000 on the month, what is that gonna do for me? It's just gonna put this number in my head that I need to get that amount back in order to be flat on the month.

it's gonna mess with me. So I was like, you know what? Just stop looking at it. Months are. You know they're just arbitrary periods of time.

and if you're green on a four-week period of time, it happens to be from the beginning to the end of a month, you're green on the month. If you're green from a four week, four week time that begins the middle of a month and carries into the next month, you know, then you're green on that four week period of time. It's It Just doesn't make sense to fixate so much on these kind of short windows of time that don't necessarily reflect your kind of long-term consistency, which for me has been really solid. So I stopped looking at where I was out of the month.

I Also had a six six hour plane ride yesterday to think about the way I've been trading this month and you know, I kind of came to this conclusion. obviously that I've been fairly aggressive. I'm gonna open up my TD Ameritrade account here and I think I've been aggressive, partially because I've been trying to get myself a really good jumpstart on the year. Obviously that feels good.

You know it's like getting your homework done early and then you kind of rush through it and I always did that. That was something that I always did because it feels good to have it done. It may not be done perfectly, but it's done. And with the daily goal or the monthly goal or even the yearly goal, it feels good to get it done as quick as you can.

I'm actually never hit my yearly goal for 2019. My goal was five hundred grand and I made only I say only very very. You know with a little bit of a I don't seriously think it's only but three hundred sixty seven thousand dollars and those statements right now are being examined by my be independent CPA that did my $583 to $1,000,000 challenge. So once those audited examined statements are done, they'll have a report which will show my 2019 total gains.

and at that time I'll do my 2019 year in review when I have those audited statements. So anyways, I think you know for sure this month I've been pretty aggressive I've been trading a little in the afternoons I've been, you know, pushing my luck a little bit and trading in multiple accounts which you know sort of scatters my attention and all of that can be really a recipe for disaster when the market starts to get a little choppy and you need to be quick to pivot. So I told myself I did two things: number one: I called Rob over at Lightspeed and I said hey Rob on my main account can you set my share size my maximum share size at a hundred shares? And so what that means is if I press shift 1 Right now let's see I press shift 1 my orders gonna get tonight because my order is for a thousand shares so it's just gonna deny that order. Now if I place in order here for 99 shares down at you know this down here that order will go through.

but basically what that is gonna prevent me from doing is taking any trades in my main account. while I focus right now on the IRA it's sometimes important for me to add those restrictions that I'm not in control of just to prevent me from getting overzealous and just saying you know what? Screw it I'm trading in the other account I hit my max loss in the IRA I'm switching to the million to the main account I don't want to do that. So anyways, my focus here today was that I would trade the TD Ameritrade account but not in the first, like two or three minutes of the day because some people have mentioned the TD Ameritrade can be a little glitchy in the first two or three minutes and I was like I don't want to risk you know, missing a trade, then feeling FOMO and frustration. So I'm just gonna focus on my regular trading account, my retirement account for the first five minutes of the day and then I'll switch you focus on TV Ended up not trading in the TV account today, which is fine, some days will be that way so no trades over there since it thirty two hundred dollars of about twenty percent or so since I started challenging.

but I did trade at the main account in TW MC was the first stock I traded. It currently has about five million shares a volume. We were watching it pre market. It was on our watch list that I shared with you guys about 9:15 a.m.

who was gapping up a hundred twenty six percent, a hundred and twenty six percent pre market. That is a really big gap the the leading gap or was CEO DX gapping up 138 percent on three point seven million shares of volume. So both of these two stocks were on my watch list this morning. TW MC I was watching over the pre-market high.

So this is straight out of chapter 6 and chapter 7 of The Warrior. Pro course, the break of pre market high. All right. Now the break up: free market highs up there 575.

but I thought this looked like a little bit of a pre market pivot down here. at about 550 the bell rings and it actually opened a little lower. It opened down here at 477 and as it started to search up as soon as I saw Green on the level 2 I start pressing the Buy button to get in for the break of 5. So I jumped in as it started to squeeze up and this thing it rips through the pre market high of 5 50 straight up to six dollars and 66 cents.

Then it goes to 760. then it goes to 860 and it hits a high of 972. Are you kidding me? From five to six - seven - eight - nine dollars a share? So yeah, I made twenty thousand dollars on this stock. I mean this thing ripped five dollars a share I didn't even need to take big-sized for that to happen for that window.

Unfortunately, you can't predict these. You know this. This ends up being kind of my bailout for the month. the market bailed me out thank thank goodness and I'm grateful for that.

But you know you can't depend on this every single day. This is kind of. These happen every now and then. It certainly happened on NBC on Tuesday And remember I missed this entire trade.

Now this wasn't nearly as an NBC was not. Well, I guess it was refer to the chart so an NBC squeezes up on five circuit breaker halts now. The momentum didn't start on this one until about 9:45 and it wasn't on the watch list. It wasn't a gapper and it didn't have news so that threw me off.

and I didn't end up jumping into it going into the first Hall tour coming out of a second because I thought the volume is so light I don't know if I can trust it. Well it ends up as you can see, you're going from for 55, 56, 57, 50 or to a high of 748. It then pulls back and then curls and ends up ripping all the way back up to $13 which was crazy. so a lot of strength there on an NBC which is certainly nice to see and I totally missed it I felt so much foam.

oh I felt so frustrated. So today on TW MC I wasn't compensating for FOMO I was I really was very focused just on I'm gonna trade in my IRA account I'm gonna take a quick trade at the break of the pre-market high and I'm gonna take my profit off the table I'm not gonna overstay my welcome, but as it turns out, you know, as soon as I got in and it rips up from 50 to $6 550 to 6 to 650 and it's like okay now I'm at the drop I'm in drag receipt now all I have to do is hold it and let it you know and it's So that ended up being a easy trade, a basehit setup that turned into a home run and every now and then you get those and this happened to be a time that I really needed it. but you know of course I Also had some trades earlier this week that we're pretty bad. So today after this pullback, you know I start kind of thinking okay, well what's the next one that's going to show strength then I remind myself on Tuesday I bought the next one that showed strength and I lost twelve thousand bucks on it.

The next one that showed strength squeezed up, got halted, then came all the way down and I got smoked. so so then I started the yeah, maybe a little careful and so on trade too and NVC well ended up going Rand on it I didn't get killed on it, but you know I went read it took two trades on that NBC My first trade was on this one-minute pullback right here and I lost 1,200 bucks and then it curls back up and I got back in right here and I made back 600 with smaller share size. okay Jan hits the high bay momentum scanners I jumped into it. ended up being a false breakout.

should have should have left it alone. but I saw news I saw a decent daily chart history former runner I jumped in for the break of for a hit for 10 and then flushed back down. Stopped out down here. Alright, so took my loss on that one and the last one was KL do.

That was my biggest loss of the day on this one. Was kind of a silly trade, but I had seen it on the scanners earlier. it was a gapper pulled back, squeezed up right here I almost jumped into it but left it alone and then is it curled up right here and then it does this pullback right through here I'm long and I stopped out as it flushed down here which doesn't look like a big stop, but it actually was a good 30 cent drop. so you know that's again, maybe poor choice and maybe I would be better off if I had not taken those.

but it's okay for me to give back $3,000 when I'm up. You know 23 grand for the potential that if we continue to see momentum that I'll be able to. You know I'll be able to to continue to kind of ride that momentum and turn of $23,000 day into 25 27, 28, 30 cetera. So yeah, so that's where I'm gonna sit here and you know back to TWM see this one you know broke through the view app.

flush down right here, drop down. came back up through the V web I got back in it right here for the break over the V web and then it it broke but it didn't hold that level and it came back down so starting to get a little choppy and I don't want to overstay my welcome on it, but you know this is a much-needed green day. I'm not sure where it's gonna put me on the month and you know again, it's not for me at this point. Really worth looking at because it doesn't change.

What does that change? You know if I see that this put me flat on the month instead of green am I gonna feel a little annoyed probably right aback man that that awesome went and all it does is bail me out of those stupid losses that I had earlier in the month. That's really disappointing if it puts me up 5,000 on the month. and what do I do I think Well, I'm still fit 20,000 for my goal. So I've got to have another day like this.

Yeah, I just don't need to do that and this is kind of the thing that we all do. We all keep this. We all have this internal kind of meter or accounting of where we stand in our pl on the day, on the week, on the month, on the year on our career. you know, and it's it.

Can sometimes create emotional baggage around your trades to the point where you're trading based on that number, not based on the market you're in. You're trading because oh man. I've got to get back this amount I've got to hit this amount this month because if I don't what does that mean? It means my, my record is tarnished or it means my, you know I'm not hitting what I said I needed to hit in order to continue this career. you know I mean whatever.

Whatever it is, it just carries this emotional baggage and I want try separate myself from that as much as possible knowing that that's easier said than done considering every single day. I Come in here at the end of the day I have a number sitting right in front of me of what I made or lost but something I stopped doing in November of this past year it was I stopped keeping a calendar on my desk of all the days filled out and I'm not saying that it's not helpful to spend some time you know, periodically going into your metrics whether it's in the Sim or you're trading with real money and to look back at your your stats, it's very important to do that. but I don't think it's helpful to do that on. let's say like a day to day basis.

where or every single morning where you sit down you're looking at that calendar and asking you know, saying what did I do right, what did I do wrong? So like I'll just show you for example here and if I go into my stats here these are my trader view stats. So if I go in here I can see my daily PNL Okay, that's fine I can pull up the calendar and then I can look into it. you know and see this is what the calendar looks like right? and so when you have this and sitting in front you every single day for me, it's it starts to become a little obsessive and I start to fixate on it. and it's it's really, it's not helpful.

it doesn't help you trade the market. you're so for me right now separating that, putting that to the side. you know, trading today for what it is, you know. I It's so easy for me to just kind of put yesterday out of my mind.

You know how much should I make yesterday? How much time a glass? Wednesday I have no idea how much I make last Friday I I don't even remember it's it's that fast to go. So I'm just gonna let it go rather than try to keep that reminder right in front of me. I'm just gonna let it go. and I'm gonna know that obviously I'm at a point where I I don't need to look at my account balance every single day to make sure I'm not below the Pitti rule.

You know I'm able to kind of know that I've got a little bit of a cushion there, obviously, especially after days like today. but I understand if you're an accountant, a place where you're like I can't not look at it because I need to make sure I have enough buying power I need to make sure I you know I'm not gonna blow up my account and again I Think you have to acknowledge that when you look at that, it can add a little bit of stress, a little bit of baggage that can all make you more inclined to make impulsive, emotionally fueled decisions. And the your ability to maintain discipline and composure is not an unlimited resource. it's a very finite my ability to maintain composure.

when I come in everyday, it's like you know an iphone battery and on some days I come in half charged because I didn't see in the in the sense that I have already depleted half of my resources because I didn't get enough sleep last night I was rushed this morning. something came up this morning that took some of my resources like you know dealing with I don't know the dog throwing up on the carpet and having to clean it or you know it's just something stupid and you know gets you frustrated. And then you know your decision fatigue exactly. So you get to the point where you're coming into the ballade.

What's typically a full tank of reserves is only a half tank and once that takes gone, that's when you start to get in that place of decision fatigue. You're much more apt to just go ahead and make those impulsive decisions and it can get you into trouble. you know you've seen. Watch my recaps.

I mean you guys know how how bad it can be. So I think giving yourself that permission that you know what it's okay. if I can only trade for 30 minutes today, I'm at a place in my account where every day is high-pressure Every trade requires a tremendous amount of emotional focus and I can't trade for six hours under that type of pressure I Can do it for thirty minutes I can do it for twenty minutes. and if you can trade from 9:30 until 10 o'clock you're doing fine.

And I see every day in the chat room. we have half the number of people in the chat room right now that we have this morning and that's 90 minutes after the bell. So lot of you guys are you know, taking the queue and hitting the road even before I Do my recap. I Saw I think it was by 10:30 we'd already lost like 25 or 30 percent of the people that would have been in very beginning.

So a lot of people take that approach of I'm gonna jump in. It's a hit and run type of market. I'm gonna grab my profit and I'm gonna hit the road I'm not gonna overstay my welcome. TW MC You got your goal.

You got maybe a little more than you expected. Take it. Be grateful. Come back tomorrow.

Maybe tomorrow. You can get a little less than you expect. Don't get frustrated. Take it.

come back the next day. and that's what we'll keep doing day after day and that's what makes a career. Alright, so that's it for me. and thank goodness for today.

A little bit of a rebound, but not a lot of follow-through beyond that. So I'll take the 20 grand and be very grateful and I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning. I'm trading on my traveling trading station. I sat in an airplane for six hours yesterday thinking about you know, my my month.

So I'm kind of, you know I'm just gonna try to trade my first 30 minutes maybe first hour at most and then you know, hit the road. Be done tomorrow's Friday Wild card.
