We are back in the green. What's going on guys, it's Ricky here with talk about Solutions I'm gonna start sharing my screen from a 3 000 red day remember I showed you my position of ask you I was like hey guys I'm three thousand dollars in the red, walked away twenty three hundred dollars and the green for us Kikiq and 2200 in the grain for Tqq for a whopping four thousand dollar plus gain on the day on both Tqs and on Sqs. Even when the NASDAQ Market pretty much closed break even Tqq closing in the red NASDAQ or Sqq closing barely in the green Um, it was I Had a lot of fun today I tried to make the most of it just like yesterday I was trading both sides. uh, could I have done a better job 100? There's always room for improvement.

Uh, but based off of how the market actually moved, uh, you guys let me know what you think. um I Felt like the market was kind of boring today. From where we opened at to where we closed at, it was nearly a break-even day. I Didn't see much going on there.

most of the activity was within the first three hours of the market open. We aggressively sold off. We were covered, we sold off, and then we were covered. We sold off Once again.

those were the big moves, right? That's where the big money was made if you're an intraday day trader, right? A scalper. Big short going. long short long short. That made sense once we got into the later half of the day.

Just a lot of consolidation. Not really worth my time. And that's when I Shared it with my Lpp team that hey, I'm choosing to reduce my position size and again, check this out. Market closes at 1 pm Mountain Standard Time here in Arizona for me and I was like Market is uh, closing in for me.

margins are getting smaller. this uh where I often end up making mistakes and pretty much burning myself. going to close out and call it a day and that's essentially what I did. Um, I kept them up to date, not only during my live trading session where they get to see my entries and my exits for my first couple of Trades, but on top of that throughout the day.

I Post updates on what I'm paying attention to. They're not call outs, they're not buy or sell signals. they're just to bring awareness of what I'm paying attention to because sometimes as a beginner Trader it's good to see what other people are focusing on and to understand their why. And that's exactly what I Share when I buy something I share Why when I sell something I share Why if I cut losses on something because things went South I share Why if I lock in profits I share Why it's not just selling here and then there's no context right? I Feel like that's the worst kind of Trader Where Okay, well I'm not supposed to copy you, but you just all you do is you share the exit.

What's what's the idea behind that, right? You always want to understand the why because with the why, you can understand what led to that conclusion or the idea of entering, exiting, locking in profits, or cutting losses right when it comes down to the actual overall day, one of the things that I wanted to to make you guys aware of is what's to set to be released for tomorrow. The only one that I'm really going to be paying attention to are the two reports that are released before the actual Market opens and then one at 3 pm Eastern time. So we have the trade balance report and then we have the mortgage application index uh, both to be released pre-market So that means before the Market opens. Other than that, we have nothing too exciting this week other than next week, right? We have the CPI data report and of course the Fomc meeting on the 14th.

So I'll make sure that I keep you guys up to date with any new updates that you know comes along with the market. Uh, the only thing that I did see kind of begin to Rally after market hours uh is Tesla Tesla is trading at 225 aftermarket hours I'm not sure if you guys have read their news uh, but that's something that we were talking about in our main chat room for Lpp. So um, we'll follow up with this tomorrow to see how the market continues to trade. But as of right now, when looking at QQQ on the larger time frames, we're kind of just trading sideways.

Overall: Market Still bullish. We're holding above that. EMA We're holding above that moving average. There is no break of pattern.

So again, like we've said before, when in doubt, you pull out right. I Hope that we earned your thumbs up. Please don't forget to subscribe! I'll keep you guys up to date with any Market updates.
