What does day trading and christmas have in common red and green p l's, what's going on everyone today, we're gon na be reading some of the bad jokes i've received in my last video and they were pretty hilarious. So, just to recap, yesterday i had a red day, mostly from football. I lost both on my long side and short side, and i just had a bunch of other trades that just didn't work out uh. While the losses were relatively smaller on all of them, they did add up.

So you know about five thousand dollars lost yesterday, but today i am ending the day, pretty green. So let's go over the trades really quickly. Um mrna! I was long um. It was one of my bigger winners.

Today, um i was long off the gap down you can see. You know we touched the 115 steady support level um. I was loaning around the 116 starter and i started adding into it once you know we broke out about vwop reclaimed, i re-added around 118s um. This is why i call buy high and sell higher right.

I want to wait for a trend to confirm uh and i actually sold into it. We added back at some more and then sold into the 122s and 124s, and i stopped on the final small position. Um. I tried it again here.

You know basically stopped out at the bottom and the stock just took off to 127 red to green and now 130s without me, but i took the meat of the move and a lot of times after a red day like i did yesterday, doesn't matter whether the The loss is small or big, or you know, five thousand seven thousand ten thousand dollars the next day i like to just take the meat of the move i actually sized down today um. So you know i just want to focus on building my confidence back and today i did, i feel, like i executed my trades pretty well. So mrna was the main trade on the long side. The other one is a small cap vvpr on the short side um.

You know i was short started pre-market and i added into the breakdown here. 10 19. I got i covered out most of it around the 9 70s and the rest of it. Here i did go back and reshort some and then you know, but i didn't want to outstay again.

You know same rule that i always try to follow. Um after red day. Just take the meat of the move. Um keep it simple.

So, as you can see, mrna on the long side and vvpr on the short side were my main plays from today and actually size down today, uh, and i was actually surprised that i made back my losses from yesterday - uh even from sizing down. This just goes to show you that it's okay to take losses in trading and it does happen - and i would say it's a pretty important part of trading you know taking on risks that you think it's suitable for yourself as long as it's managed um and i Had a couple other smaller trades that just didn't really work out, bl the long side and i had a small short on same as frsx, but this one just kept on reclaiming. So i didn't like just left it alone. Instead of trying to add that ad on the way up, anyways, this is just kind of how i like to recover after a red day by focusing on the best place and not focusing on making back losses but focusing on execution and trading the plan, as well As risk management, so monday was green, yesterday was red today is green, so this is a real christmas right here, so there were a lot of really good, jokes and comments in the last video.

I just want to go over some today and this one's pretty good cup of commerce. When you get more out of a humble trader video, then a 600 check from the government. So that's pretty that's pretty good. We have something similar in canada too, but i don't qualify for that.

This one i've been watching my htz stock go down. This really hurts. This is pretty good. Uh.

Okay, ben wei sia is saying: why does humble trader low key dislike family reunions? Because relatives would ask her not about trading or stocks, but where is your boyfriend? Okay? Okay, that's a pretty good one! It's kind of funny! Okay, and also - i don't know if you guys saw this, but i'm wearing this ugly sweater here. I think this is like drake's face on here. I'm wearing a shirt today, because it's my favorite um ugly, christmas sweater. Okay, maybe it's not really a sweater, but it is ugly, okay, next one that hat would look absolutely stunning on me.

While i hold my bags, that's pretty good. I'm gon na hit you back with a bad joke, too: who's the biggest bag holder ever santa claus; okay, okay, that was okay. That was pretty bad: okay, okay, okay, okay, this one's pretty good too. I want a hat to protect myself from raining lambos yeah.

You do need one of these uh, humble trader hat, which is also the price of the giveaway in case you're. Not aware of this is the hat everyone's talking about next one christmas missing a tea. At the end there uh i want to win. I've been losing my whole life.

That guy is saying dad is that you, these are pretty good now the ultimate best bad joke from last video. Is this one from mike? What is a float on the ht market cap? Okay? This is, this is the best one from the video i think, and the float on this market cap is only about 100 shares float. So i also want to read this very, very positive comment from the last video everyone. If you get a chance, please take a look at this comments.

Take a screenshot of it and save it for yourself. This comment is from ich chao hi everyone, i guess. If we met in person, one of the first things i'd say is how much respect i have for you, as fellow traders, you're on a hard path, one that you carved out for yourself: a path of self-improvement where you have to constantly face your fears, your weaknesses And work on to improve yourself, you should be proud to have stepped in the arena to be willing to face the loss in order to be better if you're, anything like me that your most amazing wins and most devastating losses are not you, your judge of character, Will be how you are in the days following both you need to be the same person. The person who is trying to be better.

This road may be a long and emotional one. Your friends and family may not understand what your heart's telling you be kind, as yourself would never be able to fully understand another person's life brave on in your story. Don't fall for self-destruction, don't entertain chaos for a quick release. You have no idea how deep that abyss goes, how quickly our lives can be destroyed.

Remember everything you're working for don't give it all up in a few seconds through self-hate, build long-term confidence in yourself, if you're, diligent, hard-working and continuously learning you'll be able to survive. For long enough - and you will eventually get there - take care everyone, you got this. Oh my god. I read this comment late last night and i almost cried last night, but not today, but seriously.

Somebody give this person a book deal so encouraging so positive, and it's everything that i want this channel and this community to be about. Like this person said day trading is difficult. It's hard work, so that's the reason we need to be lifting each other up and helping each other because we're all going through the same highs and lows. So thank you so much ishchao for leaving me that thoughtful comment um.

I pinned it in the last video. So you know, if you guys want to go, read this for yourself and save it screenshot this this. This is my favorite comment. So far this week the giveaway is still going on um.

You can either leave a really bad joke or leave something extremely positive, like ishchow, if you guys are going through a hard week or a hard year. Um just go through the comment section in this video and the last one there's so much positivity everyone's, so encouraging. There's so much holiday cheers uh, i'm just so glad to be here.
