What's up, everyone? All right? I'm taking June for a walk and just getting out of the office for a few minutes because man, another crazy day of trading up. Eight thousand Nine Hundred Thirty One dollars and Forty-five cents. It's it's nuts. I Don't even know what to say.

It's the best month I've ever had in my trading career and we're just seeing this incredible momentum day after day after day. the January effect. It's in full force. I've never been able to capitalize on it like I have this month and I just feel so grateful that it's been such a great start to the year.

In fact, in this one month, I've made half of what I made in all of 2016. That puts it in perspective and that's kind of one of the nice things about getting outside, just getting away from the computer for a few minutes just to be grateful and just step back and say wow, eight thousand Nine hundred Thirty One dollars. Not many people in the world can make that much in one day. Traders are one of the people that can and this is an incredible career.

Once you get good at it, you can really scale this up and I'm just feeling really thankful. Just great start to the year. great month, best month of my career and I'm just looking forward to the next two days we can finish this month strong and go into February feeling really good. Alright so I'm gonna run around and play with June for a few minutes and then get inside and do our midday market recap and break down all the trades from today.

All right everyone. So we're gonna do our little midday market recap here. Go over the trades from this morning, finishing the day up: eight thousand, nine hundred, thirty one dollars, and forty-five cents. Another fantastic day of trading.

I Mean it's just this has been the best month that I've ever had. Best month of my career. I'm up right now a little under a hundred and ten thousand dollars on the month, which is crazy so we've still got two days left. Today is the 18th.

Let's see no, it's the 19th trading day of 2018. So 19th day of the year day 19 And you know it's kind of funny because I started the day in the red. You can see my trades here. So very first trade.

Well very first trade was CHF s and I did go into the green on this trade I got in at 441 I tried to take ten thousand shares and for some reason I only filled twenty three hundred. Not sure why but that was at 441 and I tried to take a full ten thousand I had the order at 495 because that's where I was the sort of thinking would be my entry. but I was pressing the Bible and when the price was at 440 so there's no reason I shouldn't have gotten filled but for whatever reason I didn't get filled. it then pops up to a high of 480 and it didn't hold that level as it came back down I sold at 450.

All right. so one hundred and ninety-seven dollars profit second trade I get back in this time I get filled the full 10,000 shares at 464 and I tried to add it 460 a to cancel that order. It pops up to a high of 475 and then tanked all the way down to 427 and so on that one I bailed out pretty quickly at 455 and 442, but I lost about $2,000 So I went from being up 200 and our $200 to down one thousand seven hundred ninety seven dollars. Yeah, I guess that's what it was.

So at that point I was like alright, well that's obviously not how I wanted to start my my morning you know I had said that today I just wanted to kind of build my cushion a little bit between me and 100k and not take any. you know, big losses and Here I am in the first three minutes down 1,700 bucks when I said you know what, that's 1,700 bucks isn't that big of a deal I think I could probably work my way out of this hole and even if I do closed down 1,700 I can make it back tomorrow or the next day I can still be in good shape on the month so I didn't really sweat it I just kept looking for trade ideas and the next one was Mt. BC So by the way, CHF s was on our Gap scanner. that's the reason I took the trade.

it was gapping higher I bought it as it was curling up here I was looking for it to break over pre market high of six seven or sorry 470 and then really I was watching this daily level of 490 because of it broke 490. There was no resistance until 755 so a really nice big window there. Alright so let's see and yeah I agree date with Danielle let's try to keep it. You know, clean language and everything in the chat room.

Alright so let's see CHF s first trade there a small winner. second trade a good-sized loss. So boom down $1700 on the day trade number two MTB see this one came up and hit my scans at 421 I got in as it was squeezing up at 433 and 435 in with 10,000 shares. it tapped 445 so I was up a thousand bucks didn't hold that level I stopped as it came back down selling the whole thing at 4:38 Now the reason I sold the whole thing at 4:38 is because I immediately was switching gears because look what hid our scanners OSN I saw this thing it was like Boeing Boeing Boeing Boeing Boeing kept hitting the scanners again again again it was lighting up the scan and so I was like I gotta sell em TBC and focus on the stock that's actually moving right now and that's OSN So I sold em TBC bailed out just sold on the bid.

The whole thing made three hundred eighty nine dollars switch gears to OSN but by the time I was really looking at it, the spread was pretty big. It was I saw at one point five, thirty eight by six dollars and that's a massive spread. So I was like oh, you know what, hold up I'm not sure if I want to jump in this I think that might be impulsive I need to trade smart so I'm just gonna right now. sit sit tight for a second.

It ends up getting halted on circuit breaker six dollars because it moved up so fast it triggered a circuit breaker halt. So those halts are when stocks move more than ten percent in a one-minute candle. Basically, in a one-minute candle is within a five-minute period. But it's really when stocks spike up so it's halted on a circuit breaker and I was like okay, that's fine I'll watch it on resumption, it resumes and it squeezes hires.

You can see here I'll put this up so as it squeezed higher I felt like well now I kind of would be chasing it and geez, this thing just went from $5 to $7 So I'm gonna wait. it pops up here and then what do we have? A little a little one-minute micro pullback high of day is that 737 it dips down and I'm like I'm gonna buy it as it curls back up as it curled back up I Got in with small-sized as you can see only 2500 shares at an average of 716 and boom it pops up here to a high of 765. It ends up getting halted again on a circuit breaker resuming and squeezing up to 799. I sold it 798, half more 795 and the rest of 760.

so that was a $1,700 winner. Which means after that trade I was up 1700 bucks on that one, down 1700 on CH FS which gave me a net profit of being up three hundred and fifty dollars on the day. So I was up three hundred fifty bucks on the day and I was like alright, well you know what? Maybe that's as good as I can do today and so I just sat here for about half an hour I didn't take any traits. last trade was 959, the next trade was 1026 and at that point I was like well here's my IRA account.

haven't taken any trades in it yet today I didn't feel good enough about anything to take a trade in it I felt OSN was a little too high-risk Also, it was too expensive because I can really only take trades below stocks below like four dollars I can't buy expensive stocks in in my IRA right now the accounts too small so I was like alright. well I'm just gonna I don't know I guess I'm just gonna sit tight and maybe not trading the IRA today. So I put away the IRA account, no trades in that one today I'll come back and trade it tomorrow if I see a good opportunity. and then I'm watching OSN on the five-minute chart and I thought that it kind of pulled back too much here to buy the first 5-minute candle to make a new high.

It really pulled back quite a bit and so I thought well you know I'm probably not gonna buy it there which was the right move. The first camel to make a new high was at 53. it tapped 53 and then it dropped back down to $6 So I would have been down like 50 cents so that would not have been a good entry. So it consolidates and then it starts to curl up a little bit right here.

you can see it curling and so I watched it do this and I had an order that I prepped for 675 and you know I was I was kind of watching it and I thought well I kind of want to get in here 675. Look at how it's kind of in this little consolidation. it's sort of consolidating right here. It's 675, but that is below the V web and usually we'd want to be buying these over that level not below.

and so I thought you know I this might be one I should just wait on for a second. So I wait and then boom it pops up in this candle all the way up to 725 So someone said I'm not waiting I'm jumping in and they just went ahead and jumped right in there at 670 a lot of people did. There are 50,000 shares so I was like all right, you know what it's it's are, it's starting to move I I gotta jump in I'm gonna miss this opportunity if I wait any longer. So I got in at 718 and 724 as it pulled back right here before it curled up right here and then I added at 7:30 as it broke over in this candle.

So now I have three thousand, seven hundred fifty shares and my average is 716. Oh no no no sorry 723 I think are 725 so I'm like, alright, 3700 shares. That's not bad, it squeezes up I add another 2500 shares at 789 I then put in order to buy another 2500 shares at 794. At this point I'm already in the driver's seat I'm already up three thousand dollars on the trade.

Now the order at 794 does not get filled. it's saying 0 and the stock is halted on a circuit breaker. Its halted at a high right here of 791 So the order of 794 doesn't fill. it's halted for five minutes.

It resumes. It dips down to 785. It picks up my order. So I add a 794 now I'm holding 8,000 shares, average price of 760 to 8,000 shares of 760 to it spikes up to a high of 880.

I'm selling on the Ask 869 879 and 853 I sell and I'm up $8,000 on the trade. Total profit on that trade was Let's see: Eight thousand, Five hundred, Twenty Eight Dollars, Twelve percent Winner $1.00 in seven cents per share with eight thousand shares from about 762 to 868 average I Ended up holding 950 shares through this drop as it dropped back down and selling as it popped back up here to $8 And with that I'm up Eight thousand Nine hundred, Thirty One dollars on the day I went from being up only three hundred and fifty dollars to being up nine that almost nine thousand dollars. Total Shares trades today only. Let's see: seventy Eight Thousand only Thirty executions didn't trade Massive size really I mean you know I was kind of conservative on OSN until I had profit and then I start adding being a little more aggressive into this five-minute setup.

So you know this ended up being a day where I went from being down 1,700 bucks to up almost ten thousand dollars on the day. I Mean you know, Eight thousand Nine Hundred. That's a great day and it puts me up almost 110 thousand dollars on the month. Up A hundred and Nine Thousand Three hundred.

and Eight dollars on the month, up Four hundred and Forty Four thousand dollars in my account That I started with $583 a little over a year ago on January 1st 2017. so forty-four percent of the way to a million dollars, not even at the halfway point, but getting closer and just having really a great month. The best month that I've ever had in my trading career. Average daily gain: five thousand, seven hundred dollars across nineteen days of trading to read days so far this month.

So I'm gonna write it in the calendar, make it official. Eight thousand, Nine hundred, thirty one dollars, and forty-five cents. There we go. Nice, so that gives me a little bit of a cushion.

I Will now, hopefully close the month over a hundred thousand dollars. I've got two days left in the month and we'll see. You know we'll see what we can do. If I can just keep having a couple of good opportunities like this: I'm gonna continue to be aggressive, right? I Mean, look at my calendar, this is crazy.

If there was ever a time to be aggressive, its right Now it's when I'm making $5,000 a day average. It's definitely the time to continue to be aggressive to continue to take bigger size when I have a big loss I will scale back I will have I guarantee you and I'm not I'll knock on wood. Hopefully it doesn't happen anytime soon, but I will have a good-sized loss and that good-sized loss may mark the end of this hot streak. But until that happens, I'm gonna continue to push it and so my approach is kind of like with skiing: I push until I fall down I'm just gonna cuz if I'm not falling down I'm not pushing hard enough I'm not being aggressive enough so I have to continue to be aggressive until I fall down and then I have to step back and say okay, why did I fall down did I push it too hard Did I lose control? You know what went wrong but until that happens, I'm going to continue to be as aggressive as I can try to really capitalize on this opportunity.

try to make as much as I can here in the beginning of the year with almost a hundred and ten thousand dollars in profit in one month. I've made half of what I made in all of 2016, all of 2016 I made two hundred and twenty-two thousand dollars. It looks like I'm gonna make half of that here in January of 2018 and I think that speaks to the growth potential growth curve of a trader. You can see that type of growth in this career, which is really awesome and it comes with confidence.

Two years ago, I wasn't confident enough to take twelve thousand or fifteen thousand shares or even eight thousand shares of these types of stocks. I was trading. You know, four thousand, five thousand. probably at most occasionally eight thousand.

It's just confidence. And you know once you've had, you know more and more green months under your belt, you get more confident to take bigger sighs. The profits add up and you know next thing you know you're you're having eight $10,000 days on a regular basis and again I'm sure things will slow down. I Had a great start to the year in 2017.

January of last year was for me, a really great month. February was the best month of the year up until November. So February I made sixty eight thousand dollars last year and I didn't make more than that until November when I made one thousand. So I went through like a seven-month kind of slower patch, but then came out on the other side strong.

Eighty one thousand in November Eighty-four thousand in December A hundred and nine thousand here in January Three months, two hundred and sixty Two hundred seventy thousand dollars. It's incredible. so you know I'm just again trying to keep in in mind that this is this is a marathon. This isn't about really breaking over a hundred and ten thousand dollars this month or over a hundred grand or whatever.

This is about turning a $583 account into a million dollars. and I'm at four hundred forty four thousand right now. So this is a good day. continuing to make progress, but I need to continue to be very focused for another, you know, probably at least another year of trading.

Alright, so anyways, that's about it for me here. today. later this week we are gonna do a Behind the Trades episode of 2017. A year in review, We're gonna break down all of my metrics from last year.

The biggest win are the biggest loser. My profit loss ratio is the total number of trades the total profit can I Give it to you guys coming up this week, probably either tomorrow or Wednesday so stay tuned for that.
