We had an amazing start to the monday uh, it's not every monday. You get to wake up to like a 30 point per share swing. We actually swung the stock c vac from my swing account swung it from around 52 average, and this morning it gapped up. All the way to 93 by the time i woke up, it was around down here and i sold my shares at an average about 81 dollars.

So, even though i didn't miss the i didn't get the top to top tick and sell it, i still locked in a very nice 30 share swing trade average, and so that was that was an amazing start to the week. So, for with this day, trading account actually started: shorting um very early um. Just because you know it's the same idea right if you were long, this ipo stock, by the way, this ipo that, like what ipod around 40, if you are already loan, the stock investing in it, and you got like an over 100 return within one weekend. You'd probably want to get out right, so it's a it's a pretty um, simple idea, but not a lot of people think about this, and also you know all day the volume was extremely thin.

You can see down here at the volume bar really really thin name, and you know if there's no volume coming in to buy the stock. It's gon na keep on dropping, because people who already hold long stock are gon na gon na want to get out, and that's why i was short, but the locates were very expensive. They were like 41 cents per share, but the stock gives such a big move. Even if you have small share sizes - that's just say 100 shares 200 shares.

You can still make some pretty nice. Profit started scaling in short here, 82 83s and covered most of it at the open. We did get the pop here to 85. That's why i went short again.

This area, i will admit i was a little bit nervous because i kept on trying to hold this pre-market dip around 76's. So you know i did get chopped up and you know i can see. I panic covered a little bit here and i covered on the flush here, but i did re-hit here, which i'm really glad that i did you know, go back in to re-short. Once my thesis is proven correct and from here we got like a very nice flush.

All the way to 71 - and that was my best cover - i did miss the flush all the way to 67, but maybe we'll get that tomorrow, maybe not so so out of my shorts here here i did go back in for some small scalps on the short Side over here as well, you can see over here prior support becomes resistant, very simple technical analysis and, at the end of the day i was thinking it was going to fade into clothes and we didn't get that. So no, i don't want to hold this stock short overnight, so you can see i covered for a small loss on the short side as well by the close, but overall the swing trade was an amazing start to the monday. It was a very nice call in our trading chat room. So mbot is the second stock um i focused on it actually took a long and in a short early on loss on both sides.

Pre-Markets right pre-market, it's a little bit harder to trade and harder to read just because you don't need that much more volume to move the stock up or down right. It's a low float stock as well. You know former runner, you can see on the daily chart. We had ran up all the way from six to wow, 19 and then later on, you know 11 to 15..

So it is a former runner that has history of spiking, but also at the same time, failing right and that's why you know big picture is bearish on the stock, but i did take a loser two stars right, so i was so out it's only here that I started going short again around 1250s and why and if you look at a daily chart, 12 50 13 lots of um resistance. So that's you know a pretty simple technical analysis right here. I started shorting here and at the open you know i i shorted the push towards twelve dollars. Added to my full size on short side covered some just to pay myself, and i was a lot here.

Oh wait and i did go back and forth really short here, but really similar idea to how i usually trade, these uh small cap, i guess gap and craps, and no, i was i'm not involved anymore afterwards, pretty simple and straightforward trade on this. The third trade is rxt this one. I didn't do that well on i made money early on. I went back in and flipped sides and then i kind of lost a little bit on both sides.

The initial was the shorts because we were halted for news pending and after the stock on holds the volume was kind of you can see. We got some volume, but if you don't have volume to keep on pushing it to the upside, it's gon na fail right. So i shorted this and then i covered most of it here, and this is where i was thinking: okay, we're failing we're gon na test the downside, i literally shorted the bottom as you can see, and that's why i got squeezed and covered on the short and Basically, i got all of the short for loss here, and but this is where i go actually went in and loaned you can see. I had a decent loan entry with a volume coming in.

I was thinking you know what everyone who shorted this like. I did earlier or they are going to want, to go, buy to cover and that's why you got this kind of volume right and you can see i i sold into this and then i was trying to add to back to my size on the sales and Then i got dumped on basically so end up being a small loss on both a long side and a short side. It is what it is. You can't win everything, so it was an extremely choppy day, um, at least for me, for both the small caps and the large caps.

I did had some early gains and the kind i just got like chopped around gave back over half of the profit, so smoke green after locates, probably probably just like break even with something ostk. So this one i had a long swing. I took a loss on the on the swing account. You know we gapped.

I was hoping for like continuation to upside about 120s and then we just didn't get there and then i sold the swing for about a dollar a share and a little bit more lost. But on day trade it was a decent on the short side and then the long side. If you look at the charts we sold off and i got some small shorts you can see, i started shooting a little bit early, but then you can see we quickly. Sewed off and then you can see i got chopped up.

You can see from execution here. It's like really choppy. I didn't get chopped up and, like i was adding on the pops and then like looking for the flush i did cover into the move, but once it made like this really clear double ball to my guts out, so small profit on the short side. And then i actually flipped long after it keeps on reclaiming this level.

Why 1 12 70? Well, if you line it up, it's also the high from about a week ago on the dating chart. Prior resistance becomes supports right. You can see it keeps on trying to hold that and then once i see that i got out of the shorts did give back some like i said, and it actually went long. I longed it here started here and then we added on the dips to the same area and then sewed into the push - and i had one more ad here for like a tiny scope, um green to red, move 118 and sold into a 1 19 push and At the time, spy was kind of chopping around, so i didn't want to outstay on the long side and i actually tried to re-hit this on the short side as well, and then you can see.

I didn't stay that long. So, overall, just small wins on this. Both on the long side and short side, not that clean, the other trade that was also not easy, was m-i-c-t. So this this one, you can see the gapped-up pre-market.

I had some starter short and i added some more. I was so out on the short decent profit to start the day and i totally went back and just gave back everything again so just like exactly like my osdk trade, so ended up being another small winner, but after it locates probably not to be honest, so You can see, i tried to re-hit it short after the bounce. The v-wap didn't work i recovered, so i covered for a small loss and i re-added up here. Well i'm really happy about this.

I did stop out, but once we see that really quickly rejected, i put it back on again. So i'm really happy about this, so i had about the re-entry i had about eight or seven nineties average and it covered into the flush. So that was a very nice, almost a dollar sheer move and i tried to re-hit it again and re-add it here and made some back on the small, pretty small gain on the short side and then literally after i covered the whole stock just tumbled. So there was no way for me to add on these kind of weaknesses, so i just kind of left it so overall small gains to end the day.

Hopefully we get some cleaner moves tomorrow on both the large caps and the small caps. So today was a pretty straightforward day. There was not a lot of plays in small caps, but thankfully i still play large caps but starts with a loser, verse tgt. So i actually shorted it first because we did have a huge gap up from 137.

All the way to 150 - and it did seem like it started to downtrend pre-market selling off from the highs. So i thought you know if we do sell off the pre-market lows, we can retest, maybe 145, and that's why i went and started short and when you're wrong, when this level really quickly reclaimed this level. The pre-market lows really quickly reclaimed that i i stopped out and at the good thing i did because of stock later ripped another what eight dollars. So you got a volume stop.

But, of course, in hindsight, i'm kind of like hitting myself in the head like. Why didn't i flip long? Because i think i was watching the pretty much heist for a while. I just kind of started watching a couple of the stocks and i missed it because if you look at over here, it's a very clear, pretty much a high consolidation right on these large caps. These kind of consolidation at these levels work really well because they follow the technical analysis, all the support and resistance levels pretty cleanly.

So you know that's where this would have been the entry to go long and i didn't i missed it. But the important thing is that i stopped out of the short. Let's talk about another, pretty big winner, which i'm really surprised about because it faded a lot more than i have anticipated bmr. So this one had some bad news: it's a pharmaceutical company, bad news about one of the drugs, and now you can see the stock gapped down from 118, all the way to pre-market 92 and it kept on fading right.

So it's the same thing. I was looking for on tgt, except tgt, had really good news. This one had terrible news which so it makes sense that this one didn't even reclaim and go higher right, and you know from the watch list that we have in the trading chat room this stock. I never said to go long.

I was bearish on the stock and looking for a bleed down all day, but man like i missed so much sure downside same thing as tgt. I had a very nice size, though, from 84 added some more on 82 and re-added on this pop to 83, so that overall gave me an average about 83 40s. So very nice cover some partial and i even tried to add back, but you can see even after the ad. I didn't stay that long and i really should have because you can see this clear retest of v-wap and failed and just kept on dripping down all day breaking down 80s and all the way to 77 and lower the day was 75..

So i definitely underestimated the selling of power and left a lot on the table. So you know whether you make money you lose money day, trading you're, never happy! Because man i couldn't make so much more or even react back. You can see. The stock was literally weak all day right.

The only time it tested view up was here in the morning around 10 10, 15 and just faded next time. I'll remember to let it ride out longer so the other stock. Oh wait. Sorry um the small cap plate.

I did trade was pre-market mnpr, i don't it was like uh, some news release pre-market and you can see a stock spiked from like 590 to eight and they immediately just sold off. Why? If you look at a daily chart right, it's a recent back holder charts. If you look on this day, which was only a week ago, the stock was literally pumped to 14. and just sold off straight to seven dollars on the same day.

So you know when the stock it was down about. You know it was down around five dollars. Six dollars for a long time when it finally popped to eight. If i was holding the long on the stock, i probably want to get out.

So that's why i was you know short biased on the stock. But honestly, i thought this was going to squeeze a little bit higher, at least at the open, but it just never did you can you can see it was so weak. No, it had a tiny, tiny pop to 660s, but not even enough to test seven. So i didn't have much size on this.

It's just pre-market size, but no, a very nice small winner on this, the other stock osdk. Oh my god. I made money on this, but i messed up because well i had some starter size right, starter size. You know not the best entries, but i was looking for a test to highs and i sold some i sold most of it here.

I did have a re-add over here back to starter size. So this is what i trimmed back to starter size and then i it's really stupid, because i started watching some other stocks and i kind of forgot about it even forgot about the starter size. Then you can see. I know this looks really stupid because i gave back a lot, even though it was just our starter size remaining.

I gave back a lot, so you can see i didn't get stopped out until here. Should i set the stop around no 140? Sorry. 120. 480S.

Then, even with the remaining size, i would have lost only a dollar, a share which is totally manageable on a small size, but i totally forgot about this, so i'm not really happy about this trade. To be honest, so gave back about a lot of the profit from from even just small size. The final trade was like the icing on the cake was kodak. Yesterday i missed this so yesterday i think there was some news and the stock literally holded up.

You can see you know we did the same thing. It did um this day, so it squeezed from seven to nine ten thirteen. I missed all this yesterday and i was really mad because this happened during lunch time. I usually take a break about around lunchtime, so i was really mad about this by the time i came back.

It was already down here and the risk reward just doesn't make sense, but today you know i had this on watch on the side and i'm very happy that i caught a small piece of it, even though it wasn't that big, you can see like the spike. Barely even made it to 50 percent of yesterday move right, so i had i had a small shorts, just a scalp just just to make sure i get a little piece of it, not not a lot to be honest yeah. You can say i still covered way too early yeah averaged about eight seventies and covered into eight fifties and left another. What fifty sixty cents for downside we'll see.

Hopefully this comes back the next few days, i'll be very happy if it does okay, so the first trade on the day is sea back. They had some news about their vaccine and there's a lot of shipments orders for the vaccine, etc. You know the same stuff, you've heard over and again and there's a recent ipo chart. We actually um swarmed this long from like 50, all the way to 90 dollars on this day, but today is the first day gapped up since the ipo right.

You can see. It's so dull from you know, 80, something dollars to 57.. So this is a gap. You know a pretty.

You know significant gap right. You know over almost ten dollars a share overnight and i did think it has some. You know downside to fail. First, before heading up higher and start it in small pre-market first, you know small size pre-market, but if it starts you know you can see, we touch and reject back down, but we we tested 67 again if it starts holding this 65 66 and heading higher, i'm Gon na have to cut for a small loss on starter size, but the fact that i rejected so quickly off the 65s and at the open we pop to 65 and slam back down.

That tells me this level is going to reject and that's why i scaled in short, had a very nice average, as some 64 65 50s cover some and re-added over here, 63 50s added, some more and for a very nice flush to 61.. I did miss this. You know tick all the way to 60 70s. I did think we can.

You know test 60, 50 and 60s. We didn't get that and when this trend starts to reverse, i just have to cover and don't outstay. But this is a very nice and very clean trade for me right off the open. The second trade i took is also on the short side opgn.

So this is a former runner, but you can see if you look at a dating chart on this day. You know it gapped up to - i guess: 3, 35 and spiked all the way to fours, and that was only i guess two weeks ago, two three weeks ago. So today, when we're gapping up um to three dollars in nature and almost to 370s very closely to these daily resistance, that's why i was leaning more short bias, but you can see i did take a loser. Pre-Market first right, pre-market again starter size.

So that's where why i'm really comfortable and very quick to exit and take the small loss, um small shorts here, three 15's - i covered here for about 10 cents loss on starter size. That's totally fine, but this is where i started to scale in again this level. You know i did you know re-shorted a little bit, we did get a hike up into the open right into the open to this 370 380s daily resistance, and this is where i want to i'm more interested in putting in more size. Are these steady resistance right? You can see very very clearly daily 380s 370 380s.

This area right, if i was you, know long, i would want to sell in this area and that's why this is the area of interest and right at the open. We rejected the highs really quickly. We didn't even pop to re-test 370's and that's why you know i started scaling short to a very nice size. Shorted here fifties covered some and i did re-short here.

We short some more and got some very nice average down to about three twenties. After all, the rescales covers and re-added um. You can see um know in hindsight i should add more here, but we did get that very nice flush down to 270s and pretty much covered all of it here around 260s 250s and i just left it alone for the rest of the day. So those were two pretty decent plays um.

The other couple ones are added up really nicely. The first one is jivo, so jivo. You know i was up a lot on this parabolic shore to re-test tools. I did cover some, but not enough, like you know this stock, just slowly, grinded back up, so the rest of the re-ads here were small losses, so i did give back some short side re-entries.

You know in hindsight i shouldn't i should have just taken off the majority here and covered in 140s that would have been very nice, like 50 cents, a share of profit but uh. I didn't um because, with this kind of volume trade, if you see you know almost 1 billion trading volume right, you know one point i think: okay, 980 million volume traded. I did think that once it started to fail, it could have you know gapped all the way down to you know 110. 120..

So i did i'd say you know that's unfortunate. I gave back a good chunk, but that's okay. I still manage my risk really. Well.

You can see it's the same thing right if i'm front side picking tops i'm really quick to cover i'm always okay, to take either small profit or small loss. Like i did on here, it's only once. We confirm that we are rejecting two tens, two dollars right. This key two dollars area: that's why i started scaling way more and covered into 156 and gave back a lot.

Should i really cover it on this v-up touch here you can see we touched we broke below v-wap and really quickly just reclaimed. So you know taking profit, it's you know it's it's something that i should have done here, but it's okay, so, overall, very decent day, i'm very excited to see how gevo gaps up tomorrow and that'll give us some very nice place. Hopefully it goes to you know. 240, three dollars and that'll, be amazing, hey guys thanks for watching.
