What's up everyone? All right. So here we are at the end of: February This has been a crazy month. I'm gonna finish the month up about seventy nine thousand, Five hundred dollars. It's short of that really optimistic hundred thousand dollar goal, but it's been an amazing month this month.

Last year February of 2018 I lost ten thousand dollars and February January of 2018 I made one hundred and fifteen thousand I had my best month of all time and then I followed it with a read month. So a year ago today, I was actually up only a hundred and five thousand dollars on the year. One Hundred Fifteen - Ten Hundred and Five thousand. Well, this year January wasn't a big blowout I didn't hit a hundred thousand dollars.

It was a good month, but I didn't have a big blowout and now here in February I didn't hit a hundred thousand dollars. but I had a good month and guess what today? I'm up a hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars of the year I'm thirty thousand dollars ahead of last year at this same time and it's without having any record-breaking months. It's just because I've been more consistent now. Unfortunately, today is another red day I'm down five hundred and sixty-five dollars.

But all things considered, I'm really managing my risk well by keeping these losses super small. And you guys know I trade with ten fifteen thousand shares. Which means every penny a stock goes up or down is a hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars. So on my Green Day's yeah.

I'm usually making between two three four thousand dollars. and on my red days historically I've lost three, four, five thousand dollars. and so to have these really small red days it feels good. feels like I'm following the rules I hear something hitting the scanners.

Jba moving up a little bit. You know it's one of these things where momentum has just been kind of lackluster. This week we've been seeing stocks pop up and then come right back down. I had one today I jumped in a viel right off the scanners at 4:00 you come came right back down to 360.

I Mean it was just so disappointing. So we're gonna market where we got to be a little more patient. pretty smaller-sized be a little more conservative knowing that this is the in the flow of the market. things will pick up on the other side and the key is during the slow period not to give up your profits.

So when you get to the other side instead of digging yourself out of the hole, you're just adding new profits to the account. So this is gonna be a little sideways period and the the equity curve and that's okay. All right. So anyways, that's it for me.

I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning. Give me a shout out one what's your trade today and give me a shout-out if you have any questions or any comments on today's trades. Alright, I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning 9:15 pre market analysis. All right everyone.

So I will do our midday market recap here. Go over the trades from this morning. Overall today, not a very impressive day. you know? kind of just bummed out that we're not seeing cleaner momentum.

we're seeing some momentum. but it's been fairly difficult. so I'm gonna finish today down $565 I'll put this here, you know which again, it's not the end of the world. I'm up still about 80,000 on the month.

It's been a great month having a couple of red days where I lose. You know, 500 600 is not a big deal, especially when I'm trading with anywhere from 10 to 15,000 shares. These are basically the equivalent of break-even days I have my share size. but it's disappointing that this week has been so so choppy.

Monday I was read Tuesday made back the loss yesterday I was reading today I'm red so two back-to-back read days the first time here in 2019. but I'm just really glad that the losses are small. I've had back-to-back read days in the past that were like back-to-back $5,000 $7,000 read days and I all of a sudden have a fourteen thousand, fifteen thousand dollar hole that I've got to dig myself out of. So you know, really glad that I'm not doing that.

and I'm glad that as I'm seeing the stocks and market being choppy, that rather than try to put the pedal to the metal and get really aggressive, they're just kind of more instinctually stepping back and saying now I I don't know I'm just not really feeling it which is much better than being aggressive because if I was aggressive in this market, I would just be. You know if I was taking nine and twelve thousand shares of our kDa on some of those drops I mean I could have been down forty five hundred dollars in a heartbeat. So we'll get this one first. Arkady A kind of overall disappointing for me.

It was on the Gap scanner this morning leading gapper of 50 percent pre. Marcus So you know a really big mover, a stock that has a history of making big moves has news out here. cannabis is in the headline that that is good these days so you know pre market this was the the price action and I initially was like you know honestly it doesn't look that great. it's ser stepping down it already made this big parabolic move up to 950.

970 was the high and now it's kind of pulling back. The bell rings and it immediately goes red and then as it surges up I decided to take a red to green trade on it. So I'll pull this back is a 10 second chart so you guys can see. So I did a quick little red to green trade and made about four hundred dollars right out of the gates.

So let me show you what that looked like so you can see here. it went red, sold off and then it curled back up here and so I jumped in. This one at let's time was I was in it at 9:20 9:30 in 25 seconds at 13 tried to get in again at 15 I only got 300 of my 3,000 share order immediately selling half at 26, selling more at 34, selling the rest of 25 and OH - so quick little scalp right in there for 400 bucks which is you know a nice way to start the day. So I was like alright I've got my cushion sweet now we didn't have any I put my order on the ask which wasn't a problem because there was volume coming in as it squeezed up here and you know I was sort of back on my target thinking maybe it goes higher but you know it didn't go that high.

it only hit a high of 36 so that was our KD a switch back to the one-minute chart. then ad IL hits the scanners. this wasn't a stock that I was really like I was not my watchlist, it just hit the scanners and I was like oh you know okay you know former runner I pulled it up and remembered it as a former runner I saw that it had news today a headline so I was like okay I'll take a stab it hit squeezed up already from about 370 up to four and so I was like wow, Okay, this thing is strong so I jump in right at four right in there for boom stop out at 390 379, 377 and so just like that, you know I took a solid 919 dollar loss so you know that was disappointing and that's not how I you know So I went up 400 and then immediately went down about 500 500 on the day. Next one was CIFS This one daily set up first daily candle to make a new high was 205 I jumped in at 208 10,000 shares jumping in for the break, adding for the break of 15 it ended up hitting a high of 224 and so on that one I made on the first trade about $900 So first trade I made nine hundred.

that was right here selling the rest of it at the top of this candle right here that hit 924, it drops back down, it comes back up I get back in right here I got back in right here and then I stopped out down here. so I gave back three hundred. so I went up nine hundred and then now I'm up only 641 on CIFS and it ended up coming I think back up one more time. no it didn't So yeah, anyway, so that one that one was kind of disappointing.

First Daily Candle to make a new high I Had high hopes for Tto. oh it was on the scanners this morning float being a little higher pre market sharp being a little iffy I wasn't sure about it, skipped on it. It did end up making a decent move so that was kind of disappointing there. So that was.

let's see. so that was TT o o Z's an lost on that one 612 bucks. This was just a choppy one I took a scalp on it right where was it? It was right here I was in 70, stopped out as a drop back down. it came back up a second time, you know, but just wasn't clean.

Wasn't an easy one. so disappointing on Zizi an arcade EA comes back up and breaks over the view app right here at $8 which I was like you know, really watching closely. So it comes up here and my first trade on it was the one-minute micro pullback right here. Picture-perfect I'm in it with I think 3000 shares I went with smaller size because I wasn't having a great day at that point.

I was down I think 200 on the day. so I went with small size in an 81 pops up to 808. Nice $0.27 breakout. you know? picture perfect right there.

So I made 500 bucks and I'm now up 400 on the day. Does another pullback I get back in right here and boom get stopped out now I'm down 500 on the day. back down 500 and then it comes back up and I'm watching it right through here at 95 96 I'm watching watching all of a sudden I look away it breaks and look at that breakout from $8 to 9:20 and I missed the entry date dollars I jumped in it. Let's see, let me scroll down here.

so I traded it a bunch. So where was this this was? yeah. So let's go down to look at all these trades. It's ridiculous.

So I got in it at 55 as it's squeezing up I added a 55 at it. At 77 it hits a high of 80. it dips down for a second I got a little nervous so then I got back out at 77-69 It then surges up here to 905 you know. and then I'm like dang it I add at 905 I sell at 916 I add back at nine.

Oh eight, nine, ten sell at 914. add back in 925. This was brutal. Stopped out at 888.

so like that I went from being up about $600 to back down 500. It's like so frustrating and that was on this little pullback right here. Hit a high of 32 and then drop down and then curls back up. Hits a high a day or a high, you know, regular trading hours of 9:50 but I got back in at 28, sold at 37 and 23.

so just overall, you know. frustrating. Um, today was a day where I you know gave it a bunch of chances and the thing is, some money guys asked usually I don't like crowded stocks. a stock like this that has you know, 17 million shares of volume.

it starts to become tug of war and the thing is and that's a hundred percent true and those are very frustrating the trade. So like through here it's you know, Choppy. I mean yes, we got one good breakout, but then we got a false breakout, another false breakout, you know, and then finally all of a sudden it goes. And the thing is with stocks that are crowded, they're frustrating until they finally break one direction or the other and then they give you a clean move.

The problem is while you're waiting for the clean move, you can get stopped out. You know, five or six times. Going in for what you think is going to be the breakout and then it's a false breakout and then going in for the next one. It's another false breakout.

so that's why. I Usually avoid them and because there's the false breakouts are just so prevalent. You know it squeezes up here finally making a move. but you know this one-minute pullback that wasn't that great? This one was so so you know.

So they just start to get more difficult and you start to have a lot of people that have very strong opinions on it taking. you know, fifteen, twenty, thirty thousand shares, short long, you know, hitting big orders and and that just creates even more choppiness and even more volatility. So these ones are more difficult to trade in. Total stocks up 57% only made 300 $34 on it.

Just not an easy day. You know, 50% accuracy. Green on two names, red on two names. about the same as yesterday.

No big winners, no big losers, no blow ups. nothing serious. You know? I had 6,000 share positions on a lot of these. You know, 6,000 shares there? you know? I think that was ten thousand, twelve that twelve thousand on? CIFS maybe 13 thousand, you know.

So taking pretty decent-size but just not getting those those big breakouts that you know that I want. So I'm I'm glad that I'm able to manage my risk well and that I'm able to have the presence of mind to slow down and step back when things are getting choppy. You know tomorrow Friday First day of March It's hard to have high expectations I have very, very low expectations given the way this week has been, but you know I'll show up and we'll see if we get something to trade. maybe make a couple hundred here.

There, you know gets given that I now have to read days in a row. I'm tomorrow, You know again, just setting the very basic goal. If I can make 500 with one trade, I'll be done for the rest of the day. you know I don't want to, You know I don't want to push it I don't want to be super aggressive now.

Certainly if I build my cushion on the first trade I have a great trade right out of the gates, then you know whatever. but I just don't really expect it. And if I don't trade tomorrow because there's nothing that looks good I'm okay with that too. I'm just not interested in pushing it.

You know the market has to deserve me putting my money into it, you know? And I don't have to put my money into any trade if I don't see something that looks good. you know if I'm gonna come in with 10,000 15,000 shares, it's got to be a good quality set up. and if we just keep getting chopped up, we're not seeing good follow-through for me. I'd rather just sit on the sidelines and keep getting chopped up.

It's just not worth it, you know? I'm already up well over a hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars on the year. It's been a great year, you know we're two months in I have a goal of forty thousand dollars for the month of March and realistically I can hit that in one good week of training. So if I have to sit tight for a couple weeks because we're in a little bit of a lull, I'll sit tight I'll trade with smaller size. you know, 15 hundred shares, 3000 shares I'll scale back my risk.

So I don't you know, through this choppiness, have big red days. That's really the most important thing is that when the market is choppy, which it is sometimes that you scale back your risk so you're not having back-to-back four or five thousand dollar red days. And I say that from experience from having had that happen to me and I've gotten better at controlling them, you know? Yes, I lost twenty five hundred on Monday maybe back thirty five hundred on Tuesday Lost seven hundred yesterday and lost five hundred today. So 565 Whatever.

So it basically puts me breakeven on the week treading water right now, but keeping my head above water, you know. And so if you picture my equity curve, you know, kind of like long-term weeks like this. You know this month has been. you know, Week one, week two, week three, and then this is week four.

Right now. inside week four. Yeah, I dropped down, popped back up like this. but I'm just sideways.

Hey, that's all right. sideways is fine, just getting ready for the next leg up and doing everything I can to prevent. you know, a leg down with a big loss so you know I can I Can pull up my Trader view stats and just show you like that's just a little, you know, sketch obviously. But let's say Trader View stats.

Let me log in here all right, so you know, this is the last. That's my equity curve for the last 90 days. Like that? You know if we go back to where's detailed liquidity? Yeah, so that's my equity curve over the last. since 2016, have I had some periods where it's flat? Yeah.

Have I had a couple of you know dips? Sure. I wish you could zoom into this a little bit more without doing it the way I'm doing. but whatever. So you know that's what it looks like.

So you know we look back on this and you know. Here's a day may 2018 where I ended up giving back about $17,000 from the top down to the bottom of that dip over the course of two weeks. So that was not not fun. You know here from 926 down to that's not bad.

Well, that's nuts. bet $1,000 that's not bad, you know? So this one here and we looked at that so you know that's that's what it looks like and this is you know, right now this week it's gonna be one of those little blips of kind of being flat. This is an interesting one here as well. This is the Kimo cumulative drawdown.

so that's so this right Here was that $20,000 drawdown and what is that? 2017? So when you have, let's see I Guess that was from here down to here. Yeah, so that was from 384 down to 364. It's a $20,000 drawdown right in there. So this is a sort of valuable thing because you know once one, you know when I started my small account challenge in 2017, I started taking a lot of risk I was really trying to grow the account quickly and so you know As a result, I ended up having a couple of big misses, some great home runs, but some big misses and this the missus look like.

My biggest drawdown in the last three years has been $22,000 and that was on, you know, the 8th May of 2018. So that was right in this area here. So from you know down here, all the way up to you know, a million dollars and then a drawdown of 28 20,000 It's not a big deal, but I try to keep those as minimal as possible. And in fact, in the last six months my biggest drawdown since August has been only $4,000 So that would be one red day and then I got out of the hole.

you know over the next couple days. So the furthest red I went was $4,000 So if I funded an account with $30,000 back in August I never, you know I would never have been at risk of blowing it up. So you know? Yes, I've had a bigger account, but I haven't lost more than four thousand, you know at any time. So on the million dollar challenge.

Well, I haven't put today's trades and yet. but as of yesterday, I was at nine hundred and seventy thousand, four hundred and sixty dollars of profit. So I was twenty nine thousand. five hundred away lost five hundred today.

So I'm about $30,000 away from the million dollar mark and over the course of the last, well, let's see 12 24 and then this is 25 26. Over the last 26 months, my monthly returns been averaging right around a hundred percent per month. Now this month, of course, trading with larger accounts, the percentage goes down, but you know, on average been doubling my account every month. I mean that is the actual average 102 percent per month.

Granted in the first month I made two thousand, seven hundred, forty six percent because I start with $583 So does that bring up the average? Yeah, obvious. Second month was 150% 83% 37% You know November 2017 was 83% 91% in 2018 of March You know. So I mean well. January last year was 320 percent.

So I mean I've been averaging 102 percent per month for twenty six months. So yeah, another 30,000 I'll be over that level. This these metrics start in 2016, so they're already over a million. Alright, so anyways, that's it for me.

I'll see you guys 1 o'clock Eastern for our workshop. Those of you guys who have registered. looking forward to it and everyone else will see you first thing tomorrow morning. We'll try to finish up this week with a couple more green trades and you know I've got my my fingers crossed that we see some good momentum.

We can finish up Friday You know on a good note, but you know if it's a little slow that's ok too. Alright, see you guys first thing tomorrow morning.
