What's up Everyone finishing the morning up 8,000 $66 on day 2 of the California trip That feels good building up the cushion, getting myself well over $35,000 on the month on the year working my way to that first big line in the sand. 50,000 bucks second line in the sand. a hundred thousand bucks. Another day in the life of the California trader driving into the office 5:30 in the morning? oh it's so early I don't know how you guys get used to it I don't even know if it's possible I wasn't out super late last night, but you know the mornings are so early.

so I decided to bust out the camera on the drive into the office. it was me Mike and Shawn in the back seat the three trainers from the East Coast coming out here to California trying to do some trades, make some money and have a good trip so you can watch a little bit of our car ride into the office. You know the thing most people won't tell you about these cars. VW Tiguan.

They're actually pretty sick fast. Yeah. I mean you could burn some rubber on this. so got my leather jacket on it actually feels body feels pretty comfortable.

What's the temperature would you guess? Scott in the 50s? it's gotta be in the 50s when I wear this leather jacket. What would you say? Rockstar Oh my God. Now if we get every light green, you'd be there in ten minutes. If every light is red, it's probably going to take closer to 15 to 17 months.

Got shot in the backseat? did you see brother seatbelts on alone time check We have precisely 5:30 How when does the market open? How many minutes? 56 56 months t minus 56 to feel the adrenaline already? Are you speeding? You know what? I'm not sure but I Want to get through this light? We're through it. We're hitting our first red light that's a sweet tire cover. spell the American flag. Have you seen the Punisher on? Netflix What is it? Punisher No, it's a little gentleman now I You know, just rewatching the crown.

Just really enjoy even though trading can be really frustrating and you know these things I was talking about the last couple days. The FOMO If you're missing out comparing yourself to others you know, having panic attacks on airplanes and even though these things can be stressors I Really like to just try to have fun and so today I'm taking the entire staff here at Warrior Training Our California office I flew out our East Coast employees so everyone's out here. we've got think about well, 22 people that are gonna be here today. We're gonna go drive some go-karts and it's going to be fun.

Friends will become enemies, Enemies will become friends. Alliances will be made and we're gonna have a great time. We're gonna do some team-building driving those race cars, those little go-karts as fast as we can. I'm hoping to be number one on the leaderboard because in case you didn't know this, I'm a little bit competitive.

so I've already got my you know gold to be number one and we'll just see how we do. I'll see if I can grab some video of that later today and I'll show it to you guys tomorrow during our Friday recap. So let's get into it today. Let's break down the traces I Took it was a decent morning I didn't have anything on the watch list I Wasn't expecting anything to be really, really good and then boom, we got some surprise momentum.

Our mgn seen that. So let's break it down in today's midday market recap. All right. So eight trades today, seven winners.

That puts me at 87 percent success. Total Profit: Eight thousand, sixty six dollars and 27 cents. Not bad at all. I Will definitely take that.

So let me put the my broker here over on the side so you guys can see it. I am just working my way up building my cushion here on the month and on the year I'm sitting with right now thirty-eight thousand, one hundred sixty dollars and fifty cents of profit for 2018 and I'm it. Let's see three hundred and seventy three thousand dollars in profit since I started my account with five hundred and eighty three dollars. So thirty seven percent of the way to the million dollar mark I'm making progress.

You know one percent today would be incredible because you know these would be $10,000 jumps. but you know, here's a day where I'm up eight thousand dollars so really can't complain at all. Trading two of the biggest movers today see net right now sitting up thirty three percent and are mgn which was up over a hundred percent earlier today so those were two of the big ones py SD we grabbed that off the scanners to grabbed a quick 15 or sorry quick nineteen hundred dollars on it PYD s and and B Evie was a trade right out of the gates off the scanners so you know this morning. thanks Tyler You know this morning I didn't really have a lot that I that I liked that I wasn't super confident that we were gonna see a good day yesterday for me was choppy I only made 1,100 bucks or something like that and I was happy with the eleven hundred because I was down four thousand and you know, held through the loss until I was back up and so I kind of lucked out a little bit yesterday and being on vacation even though this is a working vacation which technically all of my vacations are because I'm always working.

but even though this is a working you know vacation I still try not to have really big losses when I'm on vacation because it just puts a damper on my mood. And you know once you get yourself into the hole, if it's a five thousand dollar hole, ten fifteen, twenty thousand dollar hole, then you just know you're spending. You know it's like when you come down with the cold and you're like, well, you know the next week in my life is gonna suck because now I feel sick and you know that's kind of how it is with getting yourself into a hole trading. You know you're down 15,000 20,000 It's like well, I'm gonna spend the next two weeks digging myself out of this one and I'll get out of it but doesn't make it any more fun to dig my way out I Really hate having to be in that kind of emotional place in the middle of a you know what's supposed to be kind of a somewhat relaxing vacation work ation.

So today very first trade out of the gates. Let's scroll up here on the positions window or the trades window. So the first trade was Nbe V So 5,000 shares on this one. this was off our scanners.

It was a stock that we were watching pre market because it did have a bit of a flattop setup as you can see so pre market flat top was at 342 I Jumped in for the break of hi of day, got in at 339 and with 5,000 shares sold half at 357 that's up almost 20 cents sold another quarter at 359 there's 20 cents sold the rest at 352 and 341. So $744 I mean really, that's not bad for 30 seconds into the day. All things considered, that was 5,000 shares wasn't super aggressive on share size just because yesterday was a little choppy. So I figured you know, let's just try to pushing a little bit before I get super aggressive and so 700 bucks put me on the leader board.

next trade RM GN This one was on our scanners this morning as a gapper I wasn't watching it super closely because the price is a little on the cheap side. It ended up surprising me and opening up quite a bit. You can see here the high was two dollars and 40 cents I jumped in at $1 98 and 99 and two dollars because I could see how strong it was. So I got in with 7500 shares, sold half at 213 I did that because I was up almost a thousand bucks so sold, half sold, another quarter sold more at 221, added back at 222.

As you can see bringing the share size down a little bit to 2,000 instead of 2,500 added back. Ended up selling at 22 and 10 because that trade didn't really work out. so that was my one loss of the day. Lost 400 bucks, got back in at 23, sold at 37 and 36.

So on the chart, those entries were the first entry for a whole dollar break at 2 bucks right here. Second entry was right around here at 220 and then it dropped down and then her, no, maybe it was right here and then my third entry was let's see 36 so he was in this candle here. we double topped at 38 and then drop back down and I stopped out there. so you know overall 1523 dollars on our Mgn so that put me up at 2200 bucks on the day which is not bad at all.

Actually, no I wasn't up that much on it I was up on it and then I took one last trade which was at 221 the first five-minute candle to make a new high and I sold that trade on the move up to 244 so that I think I was up about 900 dollars on our mgn and then that last trade which was my second to last trade of the day was the one that put me up a little bit more. So I added at 218 5,000 shares and I was selling it 230 added back at 240 sold at 244 so traded that a little more actively. But anyway, so that's our Mgn 19 1,500 bucks on that one and then we had PYD Yes! so P Ygs hits the scanners. so of course you know when we see these stocks at the scanners we know that there's a hundred thousand traders all around the world using these same scanners.

So that means as soon as I see it. This is also you know, catching the attention of all of those other traders that are using these scanners. So let's scroll back here. so P yd s hits the scans at 253 and when I saw hit the scans at first I sort of was like well I don't know because the last couple days it popped up it did sort of drop back down.

so I'm not sure that I'm really gonna like it but I'll watch it and so I watched it and it dipped down for just a second and then as it as I started to see buyers at 55 56, 57, 58 59 I said that's it I'm gonna jump in. This thing looks like people are starting to buy it. so I tried to get in at 60 at 58 I filled 2080 shares, tried to add 60 no fill so I canceled the order, tried to add 61 no fill, cancel the order, added 2500 shares at 84 and 600 at 93. It was then halted on a circuit breaker I added at 323 and 330 and I sold at 335 317 and the rest at 3 bucks.

So you know in total with those 3000 shares, I sold it three dollars I could have sold those at 340 and made another thousand dollars on this trade but I was holding them because I thought you know with my average of 274 I'm really kind of in the driver's seat or whatever. my I think my average was somewhere around there to 75 to 80. So I was like I'm in the driver's seat I can hold through the pullback and then look for the first one minute candle to make a new high. Looking forward to squeeze back up 3-2 through 340.

That didn't happen. it ended up dropping down. so I stopped out of the rest. but still, nineteen hundred bucks is good.

and then the last trade was on. Scene It now. scene that was on our watch this morning because today was going to potentially be. You could see it was gapping up the first daily candle to make a new high after this pullback and that's a significant pattern.

So as I saw it squeezing up here breaking through the V whap I saw that volume coming in and I said I'm jumping on this and I think it's gonna be a strong one because of the daily setup. So I got in this with 10,000 shares at 570 and in hindsight, I was much too conservative I sold almost all of it at 6:09 and then I sold the rest at 607 like ten minutes later. So basically got in as it was spiking up right here. it tapped a high of 640, you know and I didn't sell.

and then it came down here and I stopped out. I said I would stop out at 590. it hit 519. then it popped back up.

That was literally the low of the pullback. and then it squeezed all the way up here to like eight dollars. So I didn't trade this as aggressively as I could have I could have gotten back in I could have held it longer I could have had more conviction in the pattern I could have gotten in on five minutes setup right here around six dollars, six thirty or I could have gotten in right here. but that at this point I was sort of like.

you know what? I'ma beat Thousand dollars. You gotta know when to when to walk away. and so today, maybe I walked away a little on the earlier side. but I feel like I don't have the cushion on the month or on the year to start to really kind of take higher risk trades and I need to be very disciplined right now about taking profit getting out because look, remember literally, last week I had a day, I was up nine thousand dollars and then I had a nine thousand dollar loss I went from being up nine grand to being up only $60 on the day and I had to basically start my day over now I ended up finishing that day up nine thousand dollars I made it back on.

you know, six more trades but I really didn't want that to happen today. so I said, you know what, let's take the money walk away So that's what I did finish in the morning up eight thousand, sixty six dollars and 27 cents. Not bad for one hour of trading clothes. My last trade just before 10:30 so an hour into the day 8,000 bucks.

That's a good day, boosting up the account a little bit more. I'll open tomorrow around 74,000 Just keep you know, grow any account, keep making my way up and maybe at the end of this month, take out a little bit of this profit. But it's definitely been a pretty solid month considering this is only the eighth trading day of the year. So my daily average right now for thousand seven hundred seventy dollars, that is not bad for a daily average.

All right, So let's see. Um, you know that's about it for me today. Overall, decent day and I'm just hoping that we can finish up the week strong. so tomorrow be back at it here in the office 5:30 a.m.

local time and ready to break down pre market watchlist, take some trades and hopefully finish up the week with a couple of winners. Alright, so that's it for me. I'm gonna upload this to YouTube I'm also gonna upload an intro from me driving to the office so you can check that out on YouTube that'll be up later this afternoon. Alright, so that's it for me.
