What's up everyone? Alright, so here we are: finishing the 13th consecutive. Green Day Today is Friday the 13th for me and I am so happy about this hot streak. This couldn't have come at a better time. It was the beginning of the year and the beginning of trading in my IRA on a near daily basis.

I Started the week with $29,000 in the IRA and as of today, I'm up close to $37,000 almost eight thousand dollars of profit. Just this week he counts up like 30 percent which is ridiculous I mean that's more than I would have made having it in the market for the last like two and a half years just in mutual funds. I mean I've been really doing well here and that's been the goal to grow the IRA It's tax-free gains. it's for retirement.

grow it as much as I can right now and then. You know if I want to put some of it into mutual funds once I get it up to like two hundred three hundred thousand. That's fine. but right now I can just like fast forward all of that compound interest just by actively trading it again and again and again.

So really solid day today. twenty-seven hundred dollars of profit. Took five trades on three stocks. green on all of them.

Super solid. Great way to finish the week only. back at first thing on Monday morning. as usual.

Any questions any comments leave below I'll come through and answer them over the weekend. I'll see you guys All right everyone. So we're gonna do our midday market recap here. Go over the trades from this morning.

The raccoon is back I have destroyed the market this week I'm up 29% in my IRA account in the last four days of trading in the last four days I have made more than if I put this account into mutual funds for the next three years. Statistically speaking, I certainly have done better than if it was in just mutual funds for the last three years and I did it in one week. So the account at the beginning of the week started at $29,000 and as of today, the end of day profits, it'll be at 30. Let's see just about $37,000 which is really pretty awesome.

I've just had a really nice stretch here of a couple big green days and it's exactly what I needed here at the beginning of the year to start building the cushion. So when my IRA account, you know, as you guys know, you're restricted to being able to only add for the last several years it was fifty five hundred dollars per year. This year we were able to add six thousand, which is great. So I started the year with $29,000 That was a combination of three years of deposits 17, 18, and 19.

so I was able to deposit about let's see: ten thousand, eleven thousand, seventeen thousand dollars and then I had separately made about twelve thousand last year trading in it. So I started this year with twenty nine thousand dollars and you know now here I am getting close to thirty seven thousand just you know, making eight thousand dollars of profit this week in that account alone. and I had profits in my main account this week also. So my total gains on the week.

Let's see that's twelve thousand, Thirteen thousand, Five hundred, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen thousand dollars just this week. So that's good. That puts me ahead of my $10,000 a week goal which I'm really happy about. This is the time of year where I really need to be.

you know, trying to get a little bit ahead. way it's this feels like it's being in the marathon. the each year is its own separate marathon. it's the beginning of you know this kind of you know the this this challenge, this yearly goal.

You guys know that I am a big fan of my reality TV shows which you know for me is just like you know, zone out watch some of that TV at night while I'm working on my laptop doing emails, other stuff like that I'm always multitasking. so I'm got my laptop and something on in the background and one of the shows I really like watching as you guys know is Gold Rush and you know with that show they are. They have such a short season that they know they have a dialed in. This is what they need to bring in each week in order to hit their season goal of you know X amount of ounces of gold and so sometimes at the beginning of the season you'll see that they end up having.

They get they have setbacks trying to set up their wash plant and they have setbacks trying to you know get the the ground ready, get down to the bedrock and those set them back a couple weeks and then when it has the effect of doing is making it so. their weekly goals have to be that much higher every single week. In order to get to the same you know, yearly yearly total and similarly at the beginning of a marathon. you know if you're a you know road race, you know you do any type of marathon.

you sort of have two approaches. You know one approach is to try to get the lead early on and then just hold the lead and the other approach is just to be. You know, know your you know pace yourself, know your pace and know that you can finish really strong I have a really hard time doing the second one I Always like to try to get my lead as early as I can in a race and then just feel like I've you know I've got the wind at my back a little bit I've got a little bit of confidence and then that confidence kind of gives me. You know, the adrenaline to keep pushing when I'm behind and I'm trying to play catch-up It just emotionally puts me in a place where I'm more likely to take risk and I'm therefore more likely to make mistakes.

And you know I get myself into trouble both you know with with trading with sports. you know, with all of those things I start to just get a little bit more desperate to make up that ground. So it's really nice to have a good start to the year, you know. Last January I made almost $120,000 which was, you know, awesome.

That was the best month of my career and in fact I didn't have a better month in all of 2018. that was the best month of the year in January but then in February ended up having a red month I lost about $10,000 I got really aggressive in the house setback. So this year, if I can do $45,000 this month and I can do $45,000 next month, I'm actually gonna be pretty much at the same place as I was last year by the end of February. So there is something to be said for pacing yourself a little bit versus going big and then having a big setback.

So as we've started this year, today is actually for me Friday the 13th because today is my 13th consecutive Green Day and a Friday I Was a little nervous about that this morning. Um, that's why why I wore my trash Panda sweatshirt for good luck. So you know this hot streak began just before Christmas It's carrying me through here. The first two weeks of January had small green days last week 2,000 a day, 1,700 a day wasn't being super aggressive Monday I Didn't see any equality setups and so I didn't take any trades Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Really, really solid this week, so you know we're starting to see the momentum pick back up 6500 on Wednesday 5500 on Thursday 2700 today and today I wasn't as aggressive as I could have been.

So for those of you guys watching on Facebook I'll turn this around so you guys can see the P&L So there's 2768 dollars a profit this morning on three stocks Green on all three names I Took a total of five trades on three stocks and was Green on all five trades. so accuracy really solid. 31 $4000 Starting balance in the IRA this morning will be at 36,000 700 or so on Monday morning so making some nice progress overall. Market down 150 points doesn't matter finding the momentum here with small cap stocks.

So let's go over and the watch list from this morning and you know kind of how I turn that into today's daily gains. The biggest winner for me was TBL Tea up 1589 dollars and 31 cents on it and this one was straight off the pre-market watchlist. So every morning starts the same way for for me and for all of you guys that are part of the Warrior trading community. We start by looking at our Gap scanners.

So I'm gonna go run this historical date of 9:25 a.m. This is how we saw the market at 9:25 before the market even opened. We were already seeing during the light volume pre-market trading session that we had a couple of stocks that were gapping up quite a bit. Ftk was actually gapping up 100 percent versus the close yesterday.

However, this stock is not one that I was interested in trading. Their headline was a little bit. It was about selling a chemical to ADM for a hundred seventy-five million dollars I just wasn't super into that catalyst and the float is 54 million shares. That's a little too high so that one was off the list.

TBL Tea Next one down a dollar sixty good. That's a good price up 35 percent with a 4.6 million share flow. That means there's 4.6 million shares outstanding available to trade. That's the level of supply.

32 thousand shares of pre market volume and it had a catalyst actually doesn't show up here on East signal, but it does show up on light speed right here. Titan Advisors reports a 14.4% passive stake in tough built industries, so that was the catalyst. The pre market chart as you can see right here showed consolidation with a high of 59 at dollar 59 and a pull back between a dollar 40 in a dollar 50. I had a bias to jump in the stock to the long side for a break of a dollar 50 well before the bell rang.

This ended up actually breaking over that level as it squeezed up to a dollar sixty a dollar set in a high of a dollar seventy eight pre-market So I'm already thinking, wow, this thing is really strong. It's taking off as soon as the bell rings I'm looking to jump in the bell rings. We have this little pullback here. The high was a dollar seventy eight.

The bell rang, It opened at about dollar 65 and I started punching that button. jump in I took a total of nine thousand shares and at 77, 81 and 84 jumping in as soon as the bell rang at 9:30 in one second. by 9:30 and nine seconds seven seconds later, I'm selling half at two dollars for a nice profit. it hits a high of two dollars and eight cents within the first minute it pulls back, a second pulls back, pops back up to two right here.

So in this first opening range I ended up making about I think was about a thousand dollars I then got back into it at 95 and 97 and sold it at 99 and 97 as it was unable to break over two dollars. that was at 932. that was on this one-minute micro pullback right here. I Then ended up taking one more trade on it a little later, which was right here.

This was the first five-minute candled making new high a break over 94 I jumped in at 90 I'll just scroll down to that trade in at 90 91 and 92 selling at 95 95 and the rest at 89. Scalping that quick little break, target was a break of two dollars. It wasn't able to do it. There were some big sellers on the ask and so that was okay.

I said, you know what? I'm not gonna push my luck I'm just gonna take my gains and be done. So basically, like thirteen hundred dollars or so on the first trade, a hundred on the second, another hundred or so on the third three trades. Three winners, but really, only one solid trade. So that was tea.

BLT Straight off the watchlist, we were watching that at 9:00 9:25 this morning. Now, Winr and Sae X these were not on the Gap scanner. These ones were continuation stocks. So a continuation stock is when the previous day was strong or the previous day was really volatile and we're looking for that volatility to continue this morning.

So Sae X In the last couple days three days ago, it was at two dollars and ten cents. and today it hit a high of four dollars and eighty three cents up over a hundred percent in the last three days. So on this one, we had a pretty big move yesterday. It was pretty volatile.

It ended up pulling back just a little bit this morning I was watching it for a break over this descending resistance line. here. A break, really a 450 460. Well, in the first couple minutes, this thing pops up to a high of 445.

It then pulls back and I ended up jumping in on this little one-minute micro pull back and watch this carefully cuz we're gonna come back and look at this same pattern in another minute. On the Winr trade, it's a high of 45. It pulls back as it comes back up. Boom! I Jump in there 6,000 shares, it hits a high of 54.

I'm taking profit in this move. So the way I take these trades as I press I do want to Two things. Number one: I press shift one by pressing shift one I am buying three thousand shares five cents above the current ask price. So for I press shift one right now on SAE X I'm placing in order to buy five three thousand shares at 439.

All right. So I basically get in right away. The other way I take these trades is by going ahead and typing the price right in my order entry window. Here, you know, at fifty four or whatever I want and pressing by I do about half and half when I'm really watching the stock pretty closely pre market like with T BLT I Have time to go ahead and type my order in here and then I'll do that.

And and the other reason it's important to do that is because you can see within a period of five or ten seconds these stocks can move so quickly that you really want to dial in your entry price to within a few cents. And so the safest way to do that is to go ahead and type it right there. So on SAE X I had my order typed I pressed bye-bye so in it 43. Add it again At 48, this is within one second and I'm filling five cents apart.

Three thousand shares at Forty Three 3048. That is how fast it was moving when I jumped in, it pops up to 49 I sell half. Actually, the thing here for me is I go ahead and put the order to sell half sometimes without even knowing exactly what my cost basis is. see LPS is halted.

Let me look at that. Okay, so it's just squeezed from five up to a high of 564 while we're doing the midday recap. I'll put it up here so we can look at it so it's got the H Its halted on a circuit breaker. Ooh, only fifty-five thousand shares of volume.

It's pretty light Anyways, we'll look at that in a second. So SAE X My approach here is I jump in bye-bye and I'm watching this level - so closely, the current price, the time, and sales that when I put out my hockey to sell half I haven't always had a chance to check my eye up here and see what's my current position and what's my current price I'm having to move so quickly. so in this case I went ahead and sold half. Only one cent higher than where I actually got in, but that's 30 bucks.

It's okay, not a big win, but that's fine. Sold more at 53 more at 48, 46 and 47 so only made two hundred and twenty one dollars on that trade. It didn't end up holding that level, it dropped back down, but it did end up coming back up later as it broke over this 450 spot which was a pretty critical line in the sand breaking that flat top area. This I would say was sort of the flat top 455 so broke that level popped up to a high here of 475, pulled back and then tapped 483.

Alright, so that was SAE X now on winr I was watching something kind of similar. Alright, so this one. we had a pre market. We had a high of four dollars and 20 cents.

This one was very strong yesterday morning but then gave back a lot of the gains. However, what we have found is that a lot of times when stocks make that type of move, they will bounce off the lows. By the way, for those of you guys watching on Facebook I'm gonna upload this to Youtube so you can re-watch or or you can just jump over there and watch the whole thing with my actual charts to get a better understanding of some of the things I'm talking about here. So anyways, winr really strong yesterday but then sold off.

However, a lot of times these will put in a little bit of a bounce off the low. it's called a dead cat bounce. It's not uncommon and so I was kind of watching this to see if that would happen. The bell rang and it squeezed up from 360 all the way up to a high of 420 and I was like wow, okay this thing is showing some strength.

It then consolidates here and as it comes back up you see that second little break. So on this one what I decided to do was take a starter trade at four dollars, a starter position at four dollars, 397 and four right here. My target was a break of high of day which was 420. so I'm in this at four but my max loss is like 370 because it had just dropped down all the way actually to 350.

I Didn't want to let it go that far, but I had a 30 cent stop on it. So I'm ending with a 30 cent stop. six thousand shares risking about eighteen hundred dollars when it got up twenty cents. I Wanted to go ahead and sell half to reduce my risk so I sold half at nineteen just under the double top of high of day I Was concerned about the possible risk of double topping and failing and so I took some profit there.

It ends up hitting a high there of 29 and as you can see dropping back down to 74. So I sold the rest of my position at OAH but sold some at 23 and 28. so on that trade right there I made nine hundred and fifty seven dollars just within the period of this breakout right here and it for out up here now. I'm watching it, watching, watching watching and I'm thinking this looks like it's gonna break back over 4:20 and so what I ended up doing was trying to get back in it at 4:15 here but I did not get filled on my order wand to get it at 4:15 and there's the break to 4:15 Ended up hitting a high of 440 which is a nice break.

I mean it's not huge but 25 cents there so you know. pretty solid but you know I didn't get filled on it and so that one went without me. It's now coming back down a little bit. We have three daily doji candles in a row, so it's probably done for a while.

see LPS we can go look at that one now. This one was halted. The current halt time was 945 and 31 seconds it is still halted. Which means it'll be a 10-minute long halt.

but with only fifty five thousand shares of volume I'd have to be if I'm not gonna trade it. but I'd have to be a little careful. Oh, there's the resumption. Okay, so Fifty by Sixty Eight, sixty two thousand shares of volume 68 thousand Mental Target would probably be six dollars on a stock as volatile as this.

It's making the first daily candle to make a new high here. Over six, you know, has room back up towards 752 by 67. Fifty Seventy Three Ninety three. Look at how fast that just popped there.

Now you want to see it's gonna break over six. And right here, 620 635 is limit up, limit down. That would be the next circuit breaker, but again, you know, not a lot of volume on it at the moment. Also getting to a time of day where I think a lot of traders have already hit their daily goal and are probably leaving.

You know, for the day they're not gonna keep trading. That's the case with me at least. So anyways, you know this was a pretty good week. I Really, you know you never know.

What was interesting this week was that most days my watchlist didn't end up playing out as well I didn't take trades off of it. My trades were mostly based on stocks hitting the High Momentum scanner and Hy Re is an interesting one. This hit the High Today Momentum scanner at 362 this morning and ended up going all the way up to a high of four dollars and 37 cents. The thing is, when it hit the scanner I Looked at it first and I was like I'm not very familiar with this stock.

It's not a former runner, it's not stock I know a lot about so immediately I'm a little unsure I see that there's a catalyst, but I'm not sure how significant it really is. So I look at the chart I see it's got a history of being a recent IPO but you know I'm just not totally sure about it. So it has a hi there of 60 to 65. it drops down for a second, then it pops up to 72.

Then it drops down and pops up to 87. Then it drops down and pops up to 410. So from right here it goes from 360 to 410 50 cents but without a clear one minute pullback right? it just kind of goes. and then it does a pullback here.

But at this point I was like man, it's too extended I can't get in it right here. But for 410 it did end up going to 420, pulling back and then going up to a high of 437. So this one went without me I Just I wasn't willing to be as aggressive as I needed to be to take that trade. but that's okay.

So anyways, you know this ended up being you know, a nice one off the scanner. Some of you guys hit it I ended up you know, not not taking the trade on it, but that's okay. so let's see. for those of you guys watching on Facebook again I Encourage you guys to go check out the YouTube channel.

I'll put the link down below here in a few minutes, I'll jump on to YouTube or to Facebook and put the link so you guys will see where the video will be. that'll be up and running and later this afternoon. Alright so I hope you guys all have an awesome weekend. get some rest.

Those of you that are in the classes study up Monday morning will be here before you know it made $16,000 this week. Let's just see what I can do next week. I'm looking forward to continuing to grow this IRA account. I Didn't take any trades in my regular account today because I didn't need to.

I mean I I didn't need more buying power than I had in the IRA. So I'm already getting to a point where I can trade almost entirely in the IRA especially after today and a couple more days like today above 50,000 I'm gonna be in really good shape. Yes, there will be some times where something like C pS that's five or six dollars I might want to take 10 or 15,000 shares and I won't be able to do that with 10,000 until I've got 55,000 in the account. 15,000 would require 75,000 in the account.

so you know I'm a little ways away from being able to take those positions, but if I see something that looks that good, well I'll just traded in both accounts, I'll trade it in the main account and I'll also trade it in the IRA and then once the IRA account is large enough, I'll be able to just trade in the IRA for the probably the rest of the year. So that was the goal to try to trade mostly in that account this year and I'm off to a good start. Alright guys, so again, study up! I've got a one-on-one session with an heir circle student here right at 11, so I'm gonna switch gears for that, Those of you guys who have been thinking about joining the inner circle. I'm gonna do a special webinar next week where I'll invite a group of students to become part of the inner circle here for 2019, so stay tuned for that.

I'll have some more info about that, probably later in the weekend and early next week that's gonna be on Thursday at 1:00 p.m. Just so you guys know. All right! So have a great weekend and I'll see you guys all first thing on Monday Morning Bye everyone! if you're still watching you must have really enjoyed that video.
