What's up everyone? All right? Well today was wild. Uh, in the thumbnail, you see two point, eight thousand, two thousand, eight hundred on cell Z and that was the best trade I had today. Frge was the wild one. I went green, I went red, deep red and then recovered it to finish the day.

At 2000 in the green, it was a close call. Almost a big red day, not the way anyone wants to finish the month. I had the right idea but I was a little early and those early attempts, well those losses built up. so we're gonna break down the recap.

Okay well what a morning! big swing in the P L Today I'm sitting at 2 000 on the day and that feels like a victory man. This morning my first trade was Cel-z It was at the time breaking news at 8 30 a.m I traded that Students of course in the chat room would have seen that trade so jumped in as it broke over four added at 450, added it five it hit a high of five. My average was 450 and I was up 50 cents a share and I was adding at five because I was looking for 525 550 Continuation: Finally, maybe get a dollar a share move. It immediately reversed and I stopped out with 2800 profit and I was annoyed.

I was annoyed. I I felt like come on man, like this has breaking news. You know what is the deal, what is going on with these? So that was my first trade. My second trade was Lg Vn.

Uh Lgvn. I managed to get in about one second before one of the biggest pullbacks of the morning, but that's because I was trying to buy a breakout and it was a fault. It ended up being a false breakout. So I bought right here for the break over 83.

It hit a high of 82 then immediately flushed down to 50. and I stopped out quick. I stopped out right there. 1200 bucks done gone and I say you know what? Whatever it is, what it is.

So cut the loss. it ends up pulling back. It did come back up at the open but was so choppy I couldn't trust it. Could not trust it.

So I didn't go back for that one. Um, Imte. I just traded that. Um, it was a halt resumption and it broke over.

It was halted up here at 20 at seven. sorry 23.78 Bought the dip. We got to squeeze up to 25 44 and then it halted down on the halt down. Another nice dip for those that caught it up to 23.89 A very interesting chart, you know.

extended on the daily squeezes up, then halts down. Then dip got bought up into a halt up. I mean high day volume now in a red candle? Like holy Moly. Well if you want to see something a little more dramatic, look at Frge Frge Son of a Gun.

I'm I'm read on it. How is that possible? I was read: sixteen thousand dollars. Actually, I was read sixteen thousand on the day I was read: eighteen thousand dollars on Lgbn. I traded it I think four times.

First trade right here. Second trade right here. Third trade right there. Fourth trade right there.

Fourth time's the charm. That's what they always say. Stupid me. I should have just waited for the fourth setup.

So the thing is, I lost 6 000 on it yesterday in this area right here. so I was already coming in feeling a little revengey, wanting to make back some of that. My first trade on it yesterday. Yeah, yesterday.

my first trade was right here. I bought as it broke through the high of 42.83 squeezed up to 44, took my profit was up like 2 grand. Next trade was right in here, lost a thousand back to flat, got back in right here. added for the break through the high, stopped out for a loss, then was down sixteen hundred.

Tried it again right here, stopped out again, tried it again right here and this time I was like okay it's game time added stopped out again, lost 6 000 bucks on the stock yesterday. Unbelievable. So annoyed. Still finished the day up 18 000 but was not happy with that trading.

So this morning I came in and I saw it holding up and I thought all right this thing, I think we'll get a continuation set up. I think we'll get a break of yesterday's high. Well we did. but my timing we didn't get it on my first stab.

the first dab I actually made 400 bucks. Uh the second stab I I don't remember, I think I lost 500. I went down to down 97. the third stab where I stopped out going in right here, uh I don't know.

lost like another thousand bucks. and then on this one it curls up for the break of v web and I bought 4 000 shares at 38 or with some slippage but around 38 and then added for the break of 39 and I was like here we go, we're going to squeeze up, halt up through 44 game time. Uh, incorrect. It dropped to 35 and I lost sixteen thousand dollars on it or whatever it was.

I mean a really big loss. This was a high risk trade and I knew that and yet I still wasn't really prepared to take that big of a loss. So now I'm down 16 000 bucks and it comes up again and what should I have done? You know I mean I I said I was done for the day, I was like that's it, I'm I'm done. I'm down 16 grand if I keep trading, writing's on the wall, nothing else looks strong.

If I keep trading, I'm gonna lose more money, I'm gonna get smoked, I can't afford I, I gotta just let it go. Um, but as it curled back up I said you know what you son of a gun, I'm coming for you And so I bought it and then I added I bought it 39 and I added as it went higher and that move. It finally did what I thought it was going to do right here and I made 16 000. I made back almost everything I lost on it so I don't know and and I added on this micro pullback right here you know.

traded aggressively as it's squeezed up and and I I did well I'm still red on it, it's down 700 but uh I'm down uh, a lot less than I was. but now it's pulled back. I did a dip on the halt resumption. Coming back up, it's a it's a violent chart.

Imte is a violent chart. You know these are very volatile and in that volatility is opportunity, both to make money and lose money. And I got both sides of the coin today. I am, uh, grateful to be sitting at 2 000 bucks.

I may not be happy at how I traded Frge, but I'm certainly not as upset as I was when I was down 16 000. So just barely. Uh, you know, a little bit of a little bit of luck, But finally got the move that I thought we were going to get. I was hoping for even a little bit more, but we got up to 48 on Frge and that was pretty good.

So now on the five minute if it curls back over V web through the afternoon, we may see more opportunities. Maybe, but I don't know. Um, I don't want to overstay my welcome. I've already overstayed my welcome and today I got lucky and if I keep you know, keep pushing it.

I might not my that luck might run out today. You know Imte If I try to jump in this for the break through the high, we've got a red flag. High day volumes on a red candle. You know that's that's a tough level to break psychologically.

So you know, 25 44. it could break you know you you could. You could get you could see a short squeeze. but can I afford the risk and I'm only up 2 000 on the day? It's 10 30..

So this has not been a great day for me. You know? Even if I hadn't gone down 16 000 and made it back, if I was just sitting here at 2 000 on the day without having had that swing, I'd be like this Just doesn't feel like a very good day. We don't have anything really moving now. had I had more patience on Frge, maybe I could be up 16 000 on the day.

Jess is up 10 000 on the day. So if I'd had more patience and maybe not taken that first trade with as much size and I don't know, Maybe if I just waited for it to break certain levels, I might not be up 16 000. you know, if I'd waited for it to really open up here and just waited for this like pullback, maybe I'd only still be up 2 000 because the fact is, this just went from like 36 to 48 with only a minor pullback and it was at the very top of the move. So you know this is one where if you didn't if you didn't chase it, you might not have been able to trade it.

which is always a tricky lesson from the market. It's either a lesson in discipline and just being willing to miss things that don't give you that opportunity or it's a lesson in Fomo and and chasing. So anyways, um, not super happy with how I traded today. Pretty choppy, but I'm glad that I eventually got the move I was looking for and it allowed me to finish the day flat.

so more or less flat. I'm still down a little bit versus yesterday's high, so that's you know, a little disappointing. Yesterday I was up 25 000, finished the day at 18 000. I thought the next best chance for me to make back that six grand would be tomorrow morning today.

Uh, and unfortunately, we just. it was just very, very tricky today. So short of Frge getting back over 44.45 curling back up, or Imt ripping through 25 25.50 I'm not sure if there's going to be anything else to trade today. Uh, you know, again, it's still very early frge the move yesterday was at one o'clock so it's still very possible there will be more opportunities.

But and then you have that question of how long do you want to sit in front of the computer and how long can you sit in front of the computer and continue to make good decisions? Because I've had days like today where I got back to flat and then dug myself all the way back down to 16 000 in the red or whatever. my max loss was and went through that max loss. You know, because once you've kind of broken the ice and gone that deep in the red, you start trading at a level of aggression that you probably wouldn't trade on a normal day where you were just up two thousand bucks, you know. But today, I've had a big loss.

a big win. And so I'm already kind of like amped up to swing hard at anything that moves. and the next one I do that on. You know, I could buy 10 000 shares of Imte and then all of a sudden be down 25 grand.

You know, up here at 25 and then it drops down. halted down to 22, right? So uh, you know, there is definitely a strategy around chasing momentum. It's a risky strategy, you know it's there's a strategy around shorting momentum. there's stocks are squeezing up.

That's risky too. Trading is risky, so you just have to find what feels right for you, what's easier for you to manage and understand. And for me, it's momentum and is sometimes chasing momentum when stocks are really going bananas. And I'm just annoyed that I wasn't sitting here yesterday when Frge went from 28 to 30 or 40 because I would have loved to have traded that move.

I just wasn't here watching it when it happened. So anyways, uh, that's my recap for today. I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow, morning Friday, and hopefully it can be a smoother, a smoother day than today, even if I only finish up 2000. But I can avoid going down 10 or 15 grand and that would be fine.

A small green day is okay. a small red day is okay. You know. Honestly, I probably should have stopped trading when I was down 90 bucks.

Today I'd gone up 2800. I'd gone back to flat. Clearly, today was a tricky day, and when the day, when it's a tricky day, those are days where you can get spanked real hard. And so sometimes it's better just to say you know what, it's a tricky day.

I think the best thing for me to do is just to step back. Maybe I'm going to miss an opportunity like Frge, but it's the type of day where we could get some nasty false breakouts, some nasty whips, and I don't want to face that. We didn't have a leading gapper that was super obvious today that was super clean. and that definitely was a problem.

So you know, if you only get a really clean, obvious gap or two or three times a week and those are the only days you trade as a beginner trader, you probably would be better off for it. All right? So again, that's it for me. I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning. Reminders: Always trading is risky.
