What's up, everyone? All right? Well, second week in a row, case of the Mondays Red Monday red starts the week. It's never fun to start the week with a red day and now know that I've got to work the rest of the week first just to get myself back to break-even and then to start thinking about my weekly goals. but hit it last week despite losing ten thousand dollars on Monday I still finished the week up over twenty thousand dollars which was awesome. Now today, I'm down to five grand I actually was down a little closer to 11 grand and I was able to dig my way out of the hole.

We'll finish down about five thousand Fifty Five hundred. Not great, but not bad either. That's definitely not within easy you know, digging now territory. I Can easily get myself out of a five thousand dollar red day with one decent day tomorrow.

So really, my focus has to be a quality set ups and be aggressive when the timing is right. But if things are looking choppy, if I'm seeing stocks with big spreads I got to ease up. The big one today that got me was CTR B Of course I made over 10,000 on it last week, but this week you know where I got in was just not quite right. I didn't have the momentum and you know when you're trading fifteen, sixteen dollar stock doesn't take much to lose a dollar per share and that's exactly what happened.

So just watch drops down down over a dollar a share with six thousand shares get stopped out with slippage. And you know, Boom. just like that, I'm gonna be down 7,500 bucks so we'll go over it during the midday recap. As usual, any questions, any comments? leave below and I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning.

All right, I run. So we're gonna do our midday market recap here. Go over the trades from this morning today. not the easiest day, unfortunately.

CTR V Even though it was gapping up about 70% pre market, the bell rang and it just didn't hold these levels at all. Really pretty disappointing. It popped up here to a high of 1649 and in that same one-minute candle had a low or five minute count, had a low of thirteen sixty five. So a huge amount of range.

And as has been the case with this price range, it's either Big Green or Big Red. It's not a lot in between now. vis L This was a bounce-back trade made a little bit here off the lows which was great, but CTR V I took. This was my second trade on it.

My second trade was also loser. My first trade was a $1700 loser. So I'm down ten grand on CTR V today. And you know it puts me down between the two accounts: about 5,000 on the day, right? Almost exactly 5,000 on the day, which is disappointing.

You know it's it's the second red day. Monday I was read last Monday as well I was down 10,000 last Monday last Tuesday I made 21,000 today. doesn't actually feel as bad as last Monday because last Monday I was up eight thousand dollars before things turned around today I never went green I mean today my first trade on CTR V I lost a dollar per shake more than a dollar per share I took six thousand shares and it popped up here. Where was this? It was right I think it was right here and where I got in actually I sort of got in a little early anticipating a red to green move over 15.

it broke 15 I hit a high of 15 sixty 1570 up 70 cents per share from the red to green setup and then it flushed down, broke below 14 I stopped out, got slippage down $7,800 and then it rips back up right here and I got back in right here for the one-minute micro pull back for the break over high. a day actually was up $1,100 and then it flushed down and I sold the rest down and was read by twenty six hundred bucks. So I was below the $2,000 max loss in this account and I was below it in this account. So today I increased my max loss to minus five thousand because I felt like I don't want to be done trading at 9:37 I know there's still opportunity I need to sit tight and you just you know.

go easy for a little bit and so I sat tight and pretty much I have the limited increase to five thousand and just yeah I really just sat tight for a while and then all of a sudden at what time was this, it's like ten fifteen VI SL pops up as you can see here on the scanner pops up to hit first, hits a dollar, eighty one hits again at a dollar eighty eight and two dollars and got halted. This had breaking news at 10:10 a.m. so at 10:10 breaking news it squeezed up, gets halted it to it resumes higher, dips down here for a second I jump in it squeezes up here halts a second time coming out of the second halt. I actually added at 3:10 it hits a high of 3:21 and then drops down.

This was disappointing. It halts going down, but it bounces right off those lows and comes back up and I actually added right here and right here and then I added again right here and then my best exit was 355 high a day was 357. So this was kind of a little bit of a sloppy trade because I was holding I was still holding some of my position on the drop going down I was able to sell at in between 280 and $3.00 most of my position and my cost basis was 270. So I was selling most of my position for only like 20 cents a profit.

but then I was holding a small piece into the hall going down thinking well probably just gonna take a loss on that. That's disappointing, but it resumed from the halt dips and then rips up. Almost looked like it was gonna get halted going up and that's where I it was like, you know what I think this is gonna work First five-minute candle making new highs right here at 65 and that's where I got back in or added back my size right there for the break. over 65.

got to move up to 80. a little pullback there. little pullback. there little pullback here and then squeeze all the way up to 357.

So nice bounce there and then right here. consolidation and this was the moment that I knew it was over. It did a false breakout right here, drop back down and if it held that level then we might have had a chance at retesting high a day. 374 the daily high on this candle, and then 448 the 200 moving average.

Those were the back of mine targets, but unfortunately as it broke this level here, it's now dipped down quite a bit. So all in all, not the best start to the week. I made 5,000 on Friday and I'm giving it back here this morning, but I was down 10 grand and I was able to bounce off those lows a little bit and I was able to cut the boss in half which is which is good and that's one of the things that I'll sometimes do when I'm having a bad day rather than trying to say I'm down 10,000 That means I've got to make 12,000 or 13,000 dollars to get to my daily goal. I'll just say you know what can I cut the loss in half Can I cut it? Can I cut a quarter off of it Can I cut a thousand dollars off of it on a good trade that meets my strategy, doesn't have a lot of risk and I feel good about now.

Of course the biggest challenge is I don't want to continue to go rat and when I switched to this account and took this next trade on CT RV and continued to go red, that's when I was pretty much like okay, well CT RV is not stock I can continue to trade that one I'm done with and I need to focus on something else because it's just it's it's difficult for me and you know if I look back at last week in total CT RV I guess I made five thousand on it on Wednesday I made thirty-seven hundred on it on Friday the week before ten thousand dollars on it. so I've gotten some good money out of CT RV but sometimes when you overstay your welcome on these stocks, you can get into trouble and I guess you know I knew that I had a little bit more risk and what made it have more risk was the fact that pre market it already dropped down quite a bit. here. this pre market kind of pivoted 1729 was the level I was watching and I maybe should have just waited for that to break and then retest hi a day because the fact that we were opening it like fifteen eighty you know that was four dollars a share off the highs of nineteen, so that was down quite a bit.

It was right at the V web a little riskier. Um, you know, not not picture-perfect I mean not bad, but but not not picture-perfect And maybe I was a little too aggressive on my share size, but of course, having done so well on this exact stock and on several of stocks in this price range I think it was okay that that I took a little bit more risk and you know I'm also in a place on the month where I can afford to take more risk. I've already hit my monthly profit target. Well, this morning before today, I was up about 5000 over 50,000 on the month now I'm up 45.

so I'm still five thousand dollars above my June goal of 40 grand, you know I I can afford to take a little bit of risk and today, maybe I took it on the wrong trade, but maybe tomorrow. Well, I'll take it on the right trade and I'll end up having a nice twelve, fifteen or twenty thousand dollar green day. But maybe it won't be tomorrow. Maybe it'll be later in the week or next week.

but it's kind of one of those things you know if you keep being aggressive, as long as you're sticking to your strategy, eventually you will get that one trade that just connects that really opens up and gives you that awesome winner. So some of you guys got it today. It's actually most of you guys did really well in CTR V probably because you took the profit when you were up 70 cents per share. While I was thinking about adding for the break of 16 and to move up to 1729, I was being way too aggressive in my mind of what the stock had the potential to do on Vis L.

I was more kind of typical trading taking profits as I had them not swinging for the fences as much and I think that that was that was the right move on that one given the fact that I was already right on the day. I had to be a little bit more quick on scalping and as a result I took a lot of trades on Vis L getting in, getting out, getting, and getting out. but you know all's well, that ends well. So a little progress in the IRA today little setback in the main account, but overall this is just one of those days that will be neither the best day of the month, the worst day of the month is just an in-between day and I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow.

I'll bring the max loss back down to $2,000 tomorrow. Today was a rare exception where I increased it I don't usually max out both accounts and you know in one day and this is actually I Think like, well, I know I've maxed out both accounts in one day before, but I've never maxed him out and then kept trading. but being only $600 above the max loss so early in the day, you know this is one of those things where if I had taken off the max loss and then lost another couple thousand dollars, I I would have been really disappointed myself. But today I lifted that restriction and was able to to prove that I can trade well even when I am down, maybe even as much as $10,000 Of course, having the the loss split between two accounts makes it easier to bear because you're not staring at one huge red number.

This one I wasn't even looking at this one was, you know, $2,600 for me is not really that big of a deal in terms of a red trade. so I was able to really focus on Vis L. and yeah, but not the cleanest day. Hopefully tomorrow's a little bit better.

Monday last week was pretty bad as well Monday This week not great. Maybe Monday next week I Can be a little bit more disciplined. Alright everyone, so a little bit of a choppy start to the week, but be back at first thing tomorrow. Hopefully we do have some good opportunities on the scans and you know, hey, you know what? Today if I had just traded off the high today, most canner Vis L would have been the only trade I'd be up five grand so got to be careful chasing those gaffers sometimes even though this was the obvious one when they're you know when they've got a little bit of that selling pressure and they've got a history of gapping and fading I should have I should have maybe been a little bit more conservative.

So okay, so did you guys. they're agreeing. Good job in everyone else. I'll see you back at it tomorrow morning 9:15 pre market analysis and yeah, study up if you're still watching.
