What's up everyone? All right? Well, uh, finished the day in the green. 15 thousand dollars profit. Fulc. That was the big one today and I was agreeing on it yesterday.

So two back to back well green days which is great, but continuation on Fulc. We saw a continuation on a few other stocks. Ahpi was a lot stronger than I thought it would be and so was acy. So was Orph.

So this is good. Two good green days. It was like twelve thousand yesterday. Fifteen thousand today.

So that's twenty seven thousand dollars in two days. And today we had a perfect gap and go trade so we're getting a little more momentum. We're kind of off the lows of last week. things are picking up a little bit and I'm excited for the end of the week.

so we've got tomorrow. We've got Friday. Go try to finish up this week strong and then the first two weeks of August are in the books. I was read the first week.

My goal is to be green here the second week and then finish August strong. Green on weeks three and four. So let's see how we can do right now. Things are starting to shape up a little bit, so I'm excited about that.

I hope you guys enjoyed the recap as always. in case you already know, trading is risky. Most beginner traders lose money. You should assume, therefore that you will lose money as well.

And with that assumption in mind, trade in a simulator before you put real money on the line and remember that my results are not typical. All right, I hope you enjoy the recap, Hit that thumbs up and I'll see you first thing tomorrow. All right everyone. So I'm going to do my recap here.

Finishing the day up: 15 000 on Fulc, down 200 on a Chl. No big deal on that one, but um, let's look at Fu Lc first. This was the you know, this was the stock that I was agreeing on yesterday. We had a great day on it yesterday and as it turns out, I left a lot of money on the table because if we look at the minute, this thing just kept going higher.

It made a really nice move, but I'll say that it looks like it was kind of a grinder, some nice spikes, a couple of green candles, but also for sure kind of. just you know, grinding higher, pulling back, riding higher. These ones can be a little tricky if you're dialed into being a breakout trader, getting in quick, taking profit quickly, because that is not always. Sometimes you'll get in, you'll stop out, and then it rips.

When you have a grinding stock, they get a little choppy like on this candle here. For instance, that red candle before the breakout, you know, stops you out and then it goes. You know with this, this red doji, um, the one that's right there. Some of those types of candles can stop you out and then it rips.

You get a little frustrated and I traded it yesterday, but I don't remember when I called it a day. Um, I feel like my profit was mostly was it was it not mostly pre-market and then we sold off at the open and got maybe one or two more trades right through here. and then I was done. So you know it obviously went a little higher without me and that's good.

I mean you'll always do one of two things. leave money on the table or um, get back profit and so like right here as it comes back up. This is a spot where I could be leaving money on the table or I could go back in for a second, attempt a breakthrough, the high of 25 25 and end up on a big flush. like what we had on that candle giving back some serious profit.

That's the thing that you know the longer you sit here trading, the more you expose yourself to that risk. And so I sometimes start to get nervous the longer I sit here because I feel like I'm just putting this fifteen thousand dollars at risk. It doesn't take much, you know, even with small size of 3 000 or 6 000 shares to give back a dollar a share on a stock like this, you know this just hit a high of 23.97 and then a low of 23.12. it's almost a dollar a share pullback.

and there you go. it's 23.10 I mean, so I think it's It's nice to see that it's kind of perking up. It feels like perhaps there could be more in it. But um, right off that descending resistance line there, you just at a certain point have to know when to take your profit off the table.

And for me being up, it was like 12 000 yesterday and then another 15 000 today. These are these are really good days. Back-to-back days like that are great. If I can do five more days like this, I'm going to be in much better shape.

On the month, I'm going to have my confidence back. I'm going to be feeling good, you know, So it's important for me to stack up these kind of small green days. Sometimes what ends up happening is you are sacrificing a small green day when you go big for the next trade. So if I went all in right here and I'm thinking this thing's going to break through 25 25 the high a day and go 26, 27.

Maybe it does, and if I'm right, maybe this turns into a 30 000 day. But if I'm wrong, I'm sacrificing and risking a good portion of what I'm already up. especially if I go big and I'm not in a place right now where I feel comfortable doing that both because of where I sit on the month, having had a rough first week of the month um, but also just the knowledge that this is, um, it's August. This isn't the time of year where we typically would see that big resolution.

It's more likely that we continue to see choppiness. So if you can get green, you know, get green and get out. That's kind of my two cents. A couple of the other stocks that were moving a little bit today orph, squeezed up a little bit through yesterday's high, but no trades on that for me.

Excuse me. Hpi has moved up a bit. Honestly, surprise considering it has no. it had no news yesterday and putting this big red shooting star candle still has no news, but has recovered, um, a lot of yesterday's losses in a way that doesn't even make sense to me.

Now it's one thing to have First day. You know, no news kind of just catches traders off guard and momo traders jump on right momentum. Early short sellers get squeezed out. Okay, that's fine one day, but then it sells off by the end of the day forms this red shooting star candle.

You figure that's it. It's done. You don't expect it's going to go up the second day. You think short sellers are going to be more aggressive.

They're going to be faster to get short and mobile. Traders are going to be more cautious because it sold off in the previous day. So what's driving it higher Given that it has no news and it sold off yesterday? Well, I'm not really sure and when I'm not really sure, that's probably an indicator that I shouldn't trade it, so I'm not going to trade that one. I took a stab on Achl, It was halted up.

Sometimes you have multiple halts going up and these can offer some parabolic momentum, especially when its all-time highs are not that far away. It was looking like a gap and so took a stab at it. Small size 1500 shares. I lost on it, but um, no big deal.

Let's see, something's hitting. Uh, so it's 8 Hpi hitting the scans. Now this is going a little bit higher so you can see this is where it's you got 10 000 share seller there? Um, it's just surprising to see. And again, this is the area where the longer you sit in the market, the more tempted you might get to take something like this.

Maybe the break of 1450 as it turns out, would have worked. So then I'll start to think, oh well. if that worked, maybe I should take a break at 15 And then I'm right up here ready to take the break at 15.. does it work? Yeah, looks like it would have all right.

So then you're thinking, okay, well what's the next spot Oh geez, it's just going higher 1550 halt level 1563. But then there's that 20 000 share selling. So you know I. I don't know what to say.

sometimes they're just gonna go without you and it just is what it is and you're gonna feel a little fomo and you gotta just fight that urge to buy the the high a day because you know it's just it's not worth giving back your nice profit that you got on some solid trades. you know at 10 Am, 10 in the morning, later in the in the trading day, and on something that really doesn't make a lot of sense. So will people buy this pullback right here? I'm sure some people will. some people might buy the dip, some people might buy the first kill to make a new high, and maybe it breaks through that 20 000 share seller that was at 15.50 and maybe it goes to yesterday's high of 16 10.

and if it does, does it then go up to 1718 because it is now got short sellers you know, caught underwater now. maybe it could, you know, or it could just do a dramatic rejection as some short sellers out there that have a bit more buying power start to put up that wall around yesterday's high Acy. Yep, that's another one, kind of similar. see that move there from 20 to 24.

it was halted um, yesterday, but I didn't really see. I didn't follow it very closely. but you know there's another one. And what's the volume on acy as it goes into the hall? 168 000 shares so that that's why I wouldn't probably have been on the scanner.

Um, volume is too low. But you know these types of stocks can become traps. They become bull traps because you you jump in, you buy into it and the next thing you know, a stock like this with that kind of light volume can easily drop back down to the nine moving average and that's a two, two dollar drop. and then just like that, you're down with three thousand shares.

Six thousand bucks. So that's that's what I'm talking about. The longer you sit, the more you see stuff, the more tempted you get. and then eventually you get into the temptation.

And that's why sometimes the best thing you can do is just shut it down and get out of the market book another day of profit even if it's not as much as you could have would have should have made. It's a green day. Don't sacrifice a green day swinging for the fences and getting into revenge trading or hail mary home run trades. It's not the time of year to do it.

Now I might do it a little bit more during a time of year where I'm trading really well, making some really good money and the market's hot. That might be a time of year where I'd say you know what, I can do it, I can afford it, I can take the I could take the risk on it but it's August I'm you know last week was a red week for me. I finished the week down. I think it was like 25 000 bucks or 30 000 bucks.

So today you know in one day makes back half of what I lost last week. That's good and yesterday was a good day too. So now I'm probably getting back closer to flat of the month. And um, you know that's not too impressive considering flat on the month.

You know coming towards the end of the second week of the month is not really that. You know that's not great, but that's the way it goes sometimes. And if I can finish the month in the green, that'll be great. Um, right now.

Um, well let's see where I'm at on the year. Let me just put this over here and pull up my Trader view stats for a second. Let's see where I sit on the year. I haven't imported my trades from um, August yet, but August is not going to be a Um at this point.

So far it's kind of a wash, so let's just see where I'm at on the year and then that. That helps put things in perspective when you have a cold stretch. All right. So this is on the year.

Uh, detailed gross profit: 2.6 million dollars average daily gain eighteen thousand, so a little below my average daily gain right now. At this time of year, it's not too surprising. Of course, my net profit is a bit lower. Two point two, uh, eight million because of Uh, fees, commissions and fees.

The Ecm fees for direct access routing are one of the most expensive for me. Where's this Hitting the scans and our Vo? I don't know something else. So as we sit right now, I don't think I've had a, um, a red month. This year I had a couple close calls.

but let's see. So yeah, I've been green even after net profit. After fees and commissions, I've been green every month, but April I only made 43 000 bucks. Uh yeah, sorry, I see the way I have my screen share.

Um, I can fix that. so sorry about that. So there's April 43 000 bucks in April so really didn't make much in April Uh, but bounced back in May. June was good.

July was good 230 000 after fees and commissions. That's not bad, so you know August. Maybe it's another forty fifty thousand dollar month, but what seems to happen is you know, slow month and then I rally and that would be typical going into the the end of the year usually October, November, December are my best months of the year. So and then back to the the detailed P L.

So that's where I sit right now. um, and then win loss expectation. This shows me my equity curve right there. A little sloppy this year.

Haven't had that kind of, uh pattern ever before, but uh, all's well. that ends well. I got a little aggressive early. it was red the first two weeks of the year, and then Gamestop happened right there.

Gamestop. That was the week. uh, the big week pulled back a little bit, overstaying my welcome, getting too aggressive, and then rallied pretty strong, but slowed down a little bit in April as you can see smaller profits and then May. Picked up a couple red days here a little, you know, and I've been on a little red streak from the end of June um, lost a little bit that last week in June and now have to kind of make that back here or last week of July not to make that back here in August, but it's no big deal, I'm on the way.

So anyways, um, that's kind of a big picture of where I sit on the year and I am on vacation on my traveling training station, grinding through the um, you know, the ups and downs. Acy? Yeah, we've got that spread there and let's get that chart back up. So whoo, My goodness. So a drop down to 2241, a pop-up 2550..

that's a roller coaster if you can stomach the risk. I suppose there's opportunity there, but it just doesn't feel like the right time of year to be trying to take those types of trades. Not right now. I'm waiting for the next neuro.

And I thought neuro of course, being um, the big mover in July that I made about 150 000 on over two days from three or four days from three dollars all the way up to about 40 bucks. and I thought Fulc maybe had that potential. Giving a second day continuation, I was concerned about the news of the offering. Um, this morning I was surprised it was going up.

Despite that headline, it wasn't priced. So 100 million offering? Um, so that makes you nervous. You don't know what where's to be priced at. But the reaction to the news was this, uh, first pop Right Here it was received positively.

Funny enough, so I don't know. I guess we'll see, um, we'll see what happens. uh, for the rest of today and tomorrow. But it doesn't seem like it wants to give us that same opportunity that Neuro gave us.

So anyways, that's it for me. That's my uh recap here. Fifteen thousand bucks on Fulc. But as always, in case you didn't already know, trading is risky.

Most freedom traders lose money, so take it slow and train the simulator before you put real money on the line.
