What's up everyone? All right? So we're gonna do our midday market recap today. But guess what? I have a special guest who's gonna come in here and sit next to me while I'm doing the midday recap and I'm gonna give him a check for $25,000 and he doesn't know it's coming. It's gonna be pretty cool. I'm I'm pretty excited.

So what I'm gonna be doing is I'm gonna be talking a little bit about my journey. How I my journey right? How I got to where I am today. This was for me, just a combination of being in the right place at the right time, learning the few critical things. when I was going through high school and an early college that allowed me to become a day trader and to open this company Warrior Training and do what? I Love every single day.

90% of people are gonna go down life and they're gonna follow the rules. They're gonna be just. you know, the nine-to-five job, everything else and that was never going to be me. You know it just never was.

And so I knew I was gonna be on the outskirts on one side or another. and for me, day trading has been just an absolute blessing. I Want to be able to help? of course more people live life on their own terms. Day trading has given me that ability and I know it can for those of you watching this video who have been kind of thinking about it.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put a link in the description below for you to register for one of my upcoming workshops. That's where I'm gonna teach you a few more of the secrets to my success as a trader. All right, we'll talk about some of the highlights today, but if you really want to keep learning, make sure you register for the workshop. All right.

So enjoy this recap. This is probably of all the ones I've done one of the ones that's moved me the most. So I hope you guys enjoy it. Any questions, any comments, leave them below and of course I'll come back through an answer and later.

I Love seeing your comments so I will come back and answer. All right! Enjoy! So we're gonna do a midday market recap here today. We're gonna go over course my trades from this morning I'm finishing the day up 1900 $12.45 which is another really solid day of trading. I mean we got a couple of good opportunities so we'll break down those trades and you'll notice my shadow today Gavin is gone but Eric is here.

So Eric is hanging out with me today and he actually works over at the Dublin school which is where I went to high school and he wanted to come down and kind of see what I do every day for me and this is you know, we're all on kind of this same journey. this goal of of really living life on our own terms. Now for me when I first got into trading as you guys know, it wasn't to try to make a million dollars, it wasn't to drive a red Ferrari or fly on private jets or drink champagne every single day. It was so I didn't have to go into a nine-to-five job for me when I was in my 20s you know I went I was going through a lot of anxiety but even long before that, you know just to take you guys back when I grew up in Brattleboro and Vermont I went to the public school for my first six years up to sixth grade.

Six years of schooling and that for me, um, you know wasn't a good fit I I was getting bullied a lot which you guys I mean for someone as handsome as me I didn't have this beard back then you know I didn't have this ponytail I you know was was not everything that I am today and school was really hard for me and my parents made the choice of putting me into a different school for for middle school. I went to Montessori School for two years and then what was the quest? that there was a question of what do I do for high school? Do I go back into the public high school? you know with all those kids that were bullying me when I was in sixth grade or do I go somewhere different and so I ended up going to the Dublin School in Dublin New Hampshire and that for me when I first went there I just I looked at a lot of different private schools, looked at Deerfield Academy I looked at Vermont Academy Putney school Northfield Mount Hermon and I ended up choosing the Dublin school because it just for me, felt like a group of students that were very much like me at that. in those days, it was about a hundred students total in the whole school from ninth grade to twelfth grade. So in my ninth grade class, there are about 25 or maybe thirty of us.

So it was a small school and we all got a lot of attention and I spent a lot of my time in the computer lab and I was, you know, getting really into computers. And for me, those four years at Dublin were so pivotal in me developing my sense of self and recognizing that it's okay not to try to go down the same path as everyone else. And obviously I haven't gone down the same path as everyone else. I I Ended up going to college for a couple years.

it wasn't a really good fit. dropped out of college, ended up finishing my degree at a community college, and then at the Vermont College in Brattleboro and for me, college, just I didn't get a lot out of it. In fact, since I graduated college, I have never actually looked for a job where I put my college degree on my resume even though I have that college degree I think for me I got everything that most people get out of college from the four years I spent at the Dublin school. So when I start getting into day trading, a lot of people were questioning it.

both my family, my friends you know Ross you're gonna gamble away. You know the little bit of money that you have, you shouldn't do it. it's too risky. but I believed I could every like every single one of you who are in the chatroom believe you can I saw other people doing it I knew that just as quickly as you could lose money.

you could also make money if you were on the other side of the trade and I was inspired And so I went down that path and it was two years of trial and error. two years years of struggling. But I venture turned the corn. Now you guys know For me, my whole turning point was discovering every single day there's a stock that moves at least 30% and even with a small account, if I focused on those stocks, I could make a living.

look at VT VT Today from 3 dollars up to 6 dollars in two hours, it's got 37 million shares of volume. That right there is an opportunity. Okay, we see these types of things happen. Well, that's a 200% move, but you know from what it closed that yesterday which was 2.

But we see these types of moves happen on a weekly basis. Really, it's incredible. And so in my once, I was sort of halfway through my first year of trading I pulled on some of those skills that I learned at Dublin and started building a website and that was Day Trade Warrior Dot-com and I have learned how to build websites and had a right age in HTML And so I built our first website and I set it up as a Wordpress site and then in 2000 2012 in 2014 I taught our first Day Trade course in 2015. I used everything I've learned about writing which I certainly didn't get in my limited college experience.

but what I did get at Dublin to write our book? How To Day Trade. it's a best-seller in it. it's you know it's right behind Harry Potter and Fifty Shades of Grey it's actually it really sells like hotcakes. it's incredible.

So you know when I think about my journey to being where I am today. not just that choice to take my own path and become a day trader. I attribute a lot of it to what I learned at the Dublin school and and building the skills that I had to use the computer which I've used to make a ton of money and as a trader and using it to build this website in this community that's now home to literally thousands and thousands of students. So you guys may not be a spire to run your own business, you may just be thinking if I can make my $200 a day as a trader, that's good enough and and hey, I'm okay with that.

You know that was. that was my goal when I got started. it just sort of ended up organically growing into into what it is today. and I do love what I do.

So what I wanted to do of course was have Eric here and you were talking about a few minutes ago. You're talking about that that highway. Do you want to tell me that story again? The the highway that that most people go down, but some people are on the outskirts? Sure. Absolutely what we were lost I were talking about was how so often what we see, particularly when kids come out of college, is that they are funneled in a certain direction.

And what we're also specifically referring to is talking about his sister. She went to college, she did all the right extracurricular activities, she did the honors, she did all the things she's supposed to do, graduated from college, got a good job, and that's the pathway that so many people take. But there are those who live in the periphery. and quite frankly, there are people who look at that massive people on that main highway and they say that's not for me.

that's not really where I belong and a lot of these people who you see on the outer edge. They aren't in that mainstream, but they're doing extremely well because they have found ways of making it in life that aren't necessarily following the traditional pathway that's prescribed that a lot of people are on. Yeah, and what you typically get when you're on that pathway that is prescribed that most people are on is the usual common and typical results for yourself for your life, for your income, etc. But if you really want to extraordinary results, they want to do something different.

You've got to get out of that mainstream and get on the periphery to be able to see life a little differently. Yeah, and and it's it at the beginning is scary and it it was scary for me. and I really look up to my sister. She's my younger sister, but I look up to her in a lot of ways for having the the discipline to go and go through that proper four-year college experience that I couldn't go through to do a study abroad in Africa to get a really good job working at a hospital I mean I I couldn't do any of those things that she does.

You know, for me, for whatever reason, following that right path was very difficult and so when I was learning the trade I felt like you know I'm the the kid who's you know I go either way I'm either gonna be a huge success or a huge failure and I was of course worried I'd be a failure but I stuck with it and so Eric brought this pin. Dublin Endurance it's one of the I guess new mottos of the school and I I definitely had that and every single one of you guys have that. those of you who are still in the chat room today, those of you who are gonna watch this later on our YouTube channel and on Facebook it's having the endurance and having the courage to do something different from what 90% of people are going to do. And for me I was willing to take a pay cut to live a life on my own terms.

How many of you guys right now are willing to take a 20% or even a 50% pay cut to live life on your own terms? to be your own boss? To not have to go in to a nine-to-five job anymore? Because when you go into that nine-to-five job, you know you're helping make that person's dreams come true and you may still pursue your dreams on the side. But I'm not the same extent. So every single one of you guys in the chatroom you're saying yeah, Yeah, yeah, absolutely And that's what I did and my first two years they were a pay cut. Absolutely until I got to the other side.

So you know for me, I've thought about this a lot. the the most I mean the most critical skill that I learned both at Hilltop the Montessori School and then really nurtured and developed in Dublin was were those computer skills If it weren't for those I probably would have come back up to Vermont and said okay I'm good with a computer how do I turn this into a career I even if I had said maybe I'll start date trading I probably wouldn't have been quick with the hotkeys you know I I type faster than you know most you know airline booking agents I mean I'm I'm lightning on the keyboard and that for me is a is an asset that allows me to be a very profitable trader. literally. This morning in the first, let's see, let me just scroll up in the first 40 seconds of trading this morning.

I made over a thousand dollars in less than 40 seconds and I'll show you the stocks I traded this morning VT VT was one of them, it was up 48 percent NBC n was the other. It's also up now like 38 percent. But what I want to do is really encourage students today that are at the Dublin school to focus on those computer skills because if it weren't for those I would have been able to build I Would have been able to afford to have someone to pay someone to build the day trade warrior website you know I built our website myself. we only had the website done professionally like a year ago I mean all the versions leading up to then for 60 or five years? Whatever it was, those were all versions that that I did.

Some of you guys are gamers and you know what? That's okay too because you go to the hotkeys. you've got good hand-eye coordination, but I really want to encourage that. So what I wanted to do today for Eric is give him a check for $25,000 and I want to go towards the computer lab. Thank you? Yeah, thank you.

That's something that I know will really help those students. You know that for me was I mean if it weren't for that I wouldn't be here right now I wouldn't be a self-made millionaire if it weren't for you know those computer skills. So yeah, I mean it's it's really a big deal for me. I I didn't have.

You know the every advantage that you know a kid whose dad works at a hedge fund has or you know any of that stuff. I had to really create pretty much all of this myself and so I hope that some other kids will be able to do that as well. So um, when we look at the stocks today, like I said up 1,900 bucks today 5000 dollars yesterday. it's my ninth green day in a row.

one hundred and seventy ninth trading day of the year and you know we're just continuing to grind along. I'm you guys. You may not know this story, but I Started with a small account January 1st of last year I Started with 583 dollars in my account and I Want to prove to everyone that being a successful trader does not require starting with a lot of money. Even 583 dollars is enough and as of today, my account is sitting at.

let's see. Let me just scroll up. We're sitting at seven hundred, seventeen thousand, six hundred, Thirty Six dollars, and Twenty Seven cents. I'm about two hundred eighty two thousand dollars away from crossing a million dollars.

I Hope that'll happen if not by the end of this year, early next year. So within two, maybe two and a half, three years at most all of $583 and turn it into a million bucks. It's all just based on trading the same strategy. they trade every single day.

Alright, so let's look at I'll put up the the big screen for you guys to see my trades from this morning so you can see here on my Lightspeed account: one thousand and Nine hundred Twelve dollars and Forty-five cents. Alright, so I traded three stocks. No huge standout winners. not like I had yesterday, but you know a few few decent rates.

so every single day starts the same way. So and this is an educational opportunity for Eric Basically what we're looking for. that discovery That I made in my first two years was realizing that every single day there's a stock that moves twenty to thirty percent every single day. So the goal is to try to find that stock before it makes the big move to understand what creates the likelihood for a stock that's maybe up five or six percent to go up twenty or thirty percent.

Alright, so what I realized was that every single stock that makes a 30, 40, 50 percent move shares the same the same common sort of characteristics from a technical perspective. The first is price. They're almost always below ten dollars. They're they're It's obviously easier for a five dollar stock to go up thirty percent than for a fifty dollar stock to go up three percent.

So price is the first one. The second is float. So what we know is when a company does an initial public offering an IPO they sell shares onto the open market. So if they sell 10 million shares on the open market from that day forward, you've got a 10 million share level of supply.

and so we're always trading out of that same pool of shares and that supply is called the float. So that's our supply side. Now, if you have a stock with a supply level I'd say of at least 215 million shares or under, that's a very low level of supply. Just in comparison, Bank of America has a 10 billion share float.

So if you only have 15 million shares outstanding, you've got a very small level of supply. That's one side of the equation. the other side is demand. So demand usually comes in the form of some type of catalyst, some type of news.

So in the last few weeks, we've seen a lot of stocks moving up on sympathy to Canada legalizing cannabis. So that's a big catalyst right now in the market. but we'll see different catalysts at all different times of the year. I Mean it can be biotech.

stocks get really hot with some breakthroughs, clinical trials, things like that. So number One stock has got to be under ten dollars. Number Two, the float has to be ideally under like 20 million shares. I mean you can have one that's 21 million or 25 million.

It might be okay, but a lower float. and then the third is you want to see some type of catalyst that is going to be what ignites that stock to move higher. And and number four, you need to actually see if the stock is already moving higher. Which means it needs to be up at a minimum 5% Today being a 5% is it outside the standard deviation? So here we have this morning at about 9:25 this is our list of all the stocks in the entire US stock market that were up more than 5% and you can see it's it's not a very big list I mean there's there's a a decent number on here I'm not sure how many, maybe 30 or maybe 40 or 50.

I Usually just look at the top 10. those are the ones that most traders are going to be looking at and there are hundreds of thousands if not millions traders every single day doing the same thing that I'm doing. looking for these one or two opportunities to make a little bit of money. We've got about five thousand here at Warrior Trading, so the leading gapper was MN GA Now I pulled up this stock.

it's up 132 percent but I looked at it and I saw that it was below a dollar. It was it. about 50 cents. I Generally don't like to trade actual penny stocks, so this one for me right away was off my list.

There's a number of reasons for that, but just in. in short, penny stocks for me are too risky I don't like to put my money in them. so I don't trade penny stocks so this one right away is off the list so we're gonna cross that one off. The next one down is NVC yen.

Alright, so NVC n second one on the list gapping up 38% right? So that's a pretty nice gap. Pre market high here was about three dollars and then it was continuing a little bit more in the pre-market session. My charts are light gray for pre market and then they turn black once the bell rings right here. So on this one we we were watching this because clearly this is a nice gap 38 percent and so from a technical perspective I was watching this for a move higher.

We had a headline positive 12 week follow-up data from first U.s. patient implanted with I don't know whatever that is that they make. It's a biotech stock. so I don't really look into the fundamentals I don't check the earnings of the company specifically this.

The fact that the stock is up 38 percent tells me that clearly someone who knows more about this already feels confident in his body. So I'm basically now thinking that I'm watching it to the long side. Alright, so on this one, we've got a pre market high of 317. so the bell rings and I'm watching this for a move higher I jump in this one right around 312, 315, and 310 I kind of got funny fills.

They're getting the last fill on the low side, but as it squeezes up I'm selling my nine thousand shares three, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen twenty and ends up hitting a high of 325 and then up here all the way to 335. One of the things that I always say is you don't go broke when you take profits. So I'm A and remember when I do FOMO Fridays with our trading psychologist Ted He was talking about how he watched me trade over my shoulder one day and was like Ross why are you selling? it's still going up and I said hold on Ted why don't you leave this to me. We'll talk about the therapy afterwards.

So the reason that I was selling is because I always like to sell in distrain. As the stock is moving higher, it's always easier to get out when it's moving up than to get out when everyone's rushing for the exit. So you know that's that's my approach. Sometimes I leave money on the table, but you guys have a choice.

You're either gonna leave money on the table or you're gonna give back your profits. It's one or the other. I mean you just can't have both. so I'd rather leave money on the table and walk away Green that's I apply that same strategy when I go to Las Vegas So NBC n there I'm gonna put this back to a one-minute chart I Don't use 15-second charts during the day I was just showing someone earlier as an example.

So we've got our one minute time frame. Our five minute time frame in our daily and this is all the same stock that we're looking at. These are just different time frames. Each candlestick right? Here, This is a candlestick.

That's one period of time. So if this is a one-minute chart that represents one minute, this down here is a daily chart represents one full day each candlestick. So the next one we'll look at is V T V T This is a stock that was very strong yesterday. I got in it at a dollar.

three ends up hitting a high of two dollars and of course I'm thinking man, I could've done better on it, but you know I walked away with $5,000 on the day so I was happy with that Today it's continuing higher. Now the interesting thing this is that when we have second day follow-through or continuation, it can bring out a lot of emotions from traders who missed the first part of the move. and that's that is. The interesting part about trading is that it's very technical.

But the reason that we can't automate what we're doing to computers is because you need to be aware and have a presence of mind of the emotions in the market our traders right now experiencing. FOMO Are they you know, experiencing fear? Are they being really conservative? Are they being really aggressive? Are they chasing stocks higher as you can see on this one on the move from three dollars up to six there, no doubt chasing stocks higher. So I got into this one right out of the gates $2.99 for the break of three. As you can see, it squeezes up to a high of 375.

And of course I'm taking profits on the early side as it's moving up. I didn't capitalize on it as well as I could have. but you know, another green trade so that gave me on this stock another like five hundred sixty nine dollars, you know? And and you should have seen me on some of the days where I was really killing it. These are This is not for those of you guys who have been trading and watching me for a long time.

This is a decent day. This is not like a killing a day and it's kind of a bummer because this stock made a massive move. but I didn't expect it and you never know what a stock is gonna do. So the right thing for me was at a certain point to stay to say, you know what if I buy it up, Here's it's going higher and higher.

I'm really giving into a motion I'm not following rules I'm trading with emotion and that's not how you create success for yourself. So is it squeezed up to 6:10 Typically I would be buying into that halt. not this time and thank goodness I followed my instinct on it. So we have this thing in the market called circuit-breaker halts and this happens on the entire market.

entire indices as a whole. If they drop more than a certain amount, they're halted for a period of time to allow investors to stir. Kuehl circulate what's the news? what's the reason this is happening and just sort of catch their bearings. Now in lower priced stocks like VT Vt, it usually happens at 10 percent, 20 percent or 40 percent increments.

So if a stock moves in one of those increments, it will get halted for a period of five minutes. Now, what typically happens when stocks get halted is they open higher. They usually open higher because it creates this imbalance. The stocks are squeezing up, squeezing up, they get halted and then they usually gap higher.

But on this one it did the opposite. It opened lower which is very unusual. It probably only happens about 10% of the time, but on this one, what I suspect happened is you have so many investors and traders kind of jumping in with Robin Hood and getting off the you know off the couch and taking these trades that they may not be really seasoned than familiar with what happens when a stock is halted. So all of a sudden they're looking at it and they're like oh my gosh, the stock is halted.

What's happening, What's happening And they're all pressing the sell button. They're like I I'm feeling fear I'm gonna alleviate that fear by getting out. They press the sell button. the market accepts it, but it doesn't execute all right.

It'll execute the moment the stock resumes. and so at the moment of resumption, you have an imbalance to the sell side and then boom it opens 50 cents lower. It did end up filling that gap back up to 6 and then selling off so it wouldn't have been devastating if you did buy it into the hall. but no doubt, not something you really like to see.

So anyways, that was my trade there on VT VT Follow the rules on it and at this point in the day or at the point of finishing that trade, I was now thinking okay, I'm looking for something that's gonna make me have sympathy Momentum So that's what we have a lot. we have sympathy. Momentum One stock is strong and next thing you know, stock 2, 3, & 4 are also strong. You know traders, they think, well if this was strong, that's gonna be strong.

So they buy it and they want to make more money. so they buy it with more size. that's more volume and again, this is where the emotions come into play after years of trading. What I say is that you want to learn how to capitalize on FOMO without falling victim to it.

So that's a very difficult thing. You have to be in a just you have such need to have such strong presence of mind that you're able to say I'm being more aggressive right now not because I have FOMO but because I see FOMO in the market and I think this is a good time to be more aggressive and so I was looking for the next stock to hit the scanner I saw and this These scans basically are searching the entire market at any given moment. They're searching right now for a stock moving up that meets my four criteria for being in play. So this helps me in the middle of the day find something that may be an opportunity again.

This is where those computer skills do come into play. Of course, for students that are in our classes, you guys get the benefit of being able to, just, you know, plug this in and start running it right away. But the process of developing these scanners did take a long time. So we have a late morning trade on our GS o RG s start sending a scanner.

Boom boom boom boom boom and I pull it up and initially I'm like I don't know about it I'm not really sure but I'm interested in maybe doing a scalp over the half-dollar so it's squeezing up, squeezing up to 8:15 it pulls back and it comes up taps 8:50 and I jump in for the break over the half-dollar So I'm in with I Got a partial fill of let's see 2600 shares so not a very big position. I had another order I tried to take that didn't get filled so I cancelled it. it then pops up to 74. It pulls back for a second and then it surges up to a high of $9.25 So I took my profit on that and made another five hundred sixty four dollars.

and that put me up nineteen hundred on the day. So another green day following the rules. So really, for all of you guys that are hanging out today, those of you who are watching on Facebook those of you who are watching on YouTube I want to reiterate that the journey to getting here was not direct. it was not smooth.

One of the things I did a lot at Dublin was sailing and Dublin Lake which was a lot of fun we were I don't think we were ever like the the top in our league there for the teams we were competing against but we had a great time and of course was sailing. You want to get here. You don't go straight, you got to go left and then right, and then left and right and you make your way there. And that was my journey too trading and it took about two years before I really started to turn a consistent profit For you guys.

you have such an advantage. Those of you who want to take a few minutes to register for one of our workshops our webinars I'd love for you to register. they're about an hour and a half, two hours long. Some of them go a little longer three hours and during those workshops I'm going to talk about the three secrets to success.

How you. how you number one manage risk, how you number to find stocks to trade, and then number three, how you know when to buy them and when to sell them as I Walk you guys through these sort of three core lessons, you're gonna realize that the path to success? It may not be overnight, but it's one that now thousands and thousands of students at Warrior Trading have taken before you. and it's one that we've through all these students going through that path, we've refined it. We want to make your path of least resistance to be that of success and we've got our you know, our work cut out for us because 9 out of 10 traders in this market will not find success and so they need every advantage possible.

That means learning a strategy that is proven to be profitable. And that's of course the strategy that I trade every single day. So anyways, that's about it for our midday recap. I'll put a link below on Facebook and YouTube for you guys to register for one of our upcoming workshops.

would love to see you guys there and and I'll let you guys enjoy the rest of the day and Eric I hope you learned something about the rating. This is great. Yes it's great and I want to see a picture of the computer lab and yeah, that's I'm really glad to be able to do that. Do you know it does help a couple of students? whether is going into the graphic arts building, web sites or doing something like this I Think it would be really awesome for them.

So that's it for me. And I will see you guys all first thing tomorrow morning. back here in the chat room and hopefully we'll see a couple more stocks on the scanner. The markets definitely picking up.

We're in a hot market so time to put the pedal to metal and be aggressive. All right, I'll see you guys later if you're still watching. You must have really enjoyed that video. So why not subscribe and get email alerts anytime? Upload new content.
