All right everyone. So I'm going to go over the trades from today. Ended up being a pretty small day and no trades in my main account, but in my uh, retirement account I finished up 559.83 so you know, not much. uh traded the I guess two leading gappers, Rsls and Xpon Rsls is a gapper.

It appears that way because it's a reverse split and it's had a couple of these nice curls. so uh, reverse split and that was it. But of course you know as obviously this week we've seen reverse splits of given, um, just by themselves. even without other news, some opportunities.

So there was a curl right there. there was another one right here and another one starting right there. but look at this one on the one minute chart. you see that that squeeze there up and then that rejection back down.

So when I saw that and that was right after the open I was like nope I'm not gonna this one I'm not gonna go back for it I'm not gonna trust it again and on Xpon at the open we had something kind of similar. a ridiculous candle I mean this this went I didn't expect it to break through 25 I was watching it. it broke through 325 and it rips up to 374 and then comes right back down. If we look at that on uh, the 10 second chart, you'll see that it's just this like it was crazy.

It was a huge move, a big rejection and basically at that point I was like okay guys, that's not cool I don't like seeing that and then we had something similar on Rsls and I was like you know what? we're dodging bullets today. This is way too risky. I'm not going to keep trading I'm I'm walking it up. So I traded Rsls and Xpon um, pre-market and then one trade on Rsls at the open and that that's it for me I'm I'm grateful to be green because that kind of price action could easily I mean look, that's a that's like a 30 drop in two candles on Ten Second charts.

that's that's really sloppy. that's crazy I don't like seeing that at all. So this morning when I sat down you know game plan was as always, look at the Gap scanner. Rsls was the leading Gap because of the split and then we had xpon we had Imran Imrn did put in a nice move here at the open but I wasn't I wasn't totally sure about it and I left it alone.

So I didn't get any trades on Imrm. uh we had Ape which was moving up I kind of thought hi, you can have one, you can have two. that's fine I Kind of thought that we might have um, some swing traders who have been in it for a while just trying to book some profit. maybe even some Bag holders just trying to unwind positions.

so I didn't want to mess around with that. But in any case, ape was up. AMC there were Traders talking about this in terms of volume today. ape xpon imrn APRN that's what's leading, but it is a bit of a light volume day going into a long weekend.

Of course the market is closed on Monday So you know I didn't hit my daily goal today I didn't hit my daily goal any day this week. But small green days are good. Um, you know, just like what I said yesterday, small Green Day small green days. That's what's keeping my account.

You know pretty much at all-time highs. That's my account right now is that it's all-time highs. It's never been I've never had more profit in my career day trading than right here today. And that's because I'm I'm not in a drawdown right now I've just been grinding on small numbers, but just adding a little bit a little bit a little bit each day and I'm definitely in this place where the gains are small.

So my P L is kind of going just very, very gradually up. Uh, we've had a couple dips, but then it comes back up quickly because the dips have been small, my drawdowns have been and losses have been small. and I'm just waiting for things to open up so I can start to go like this now. What happens for a lot of Traders is they I'm gonna save these ones for me.

so these ones are awesome. What happens to a lot of Traders is um, you know they dig themselves a hole, they have a draw down and then when things start to pick back up, that all it does. is it? um is it gets them back to square and then by the time they're back to square, that hot streak is running out and now they're coming into another draw down and that's what creates these break-even Traders So a big part of being going from Break Even to consistently growing an account is about how you trade during cold streaks. No, that one's for you and how you trade and how you manage your drawdowns when things are going badly.

So that's something to really put some thought into and think about. Um, yeah, no, I know, but you already? we already did share. We already did share. That's why you already had some.

So these ones are for me. Now these ones are for me. Excuse me? I'm trying to work. let me finish up my video and then we can talk.

So anyways, um I yeah I think um, you know we'll look for some. We'll look for things to open up. Um, you know, maybe we'll have a little bit more next week. But but typically the week between Christmas and New Year's is a light volume week.

It's a lot of Traders are on vacation. you know, kids are home, there's distractions. It's not the best time to be trading aggressively, so it wouldn't surprise me if next week is kind of a slow week. sort of like the day after Thanksgiving Just but.

except you know, for the whole week it's a four day week. so it'll be a short week if, uh, there were ever a week to just take off. it's probably around the holidays and just enjoy and rest up and relax. But hey, please, you know you got.

you Got to be patient. And where'd you? Where'd that one go? Where'd it go? Okay, that one's for me. Um, anyway, so next week's gonna be probably more of this. It's gonna be choppy.

It's gonna be slow, and uh, if we have a couple of opportunities I'll be grateful for that. I'll try to make a little bit of money. so anyways, that's it for me. I Hope you guys have a great, uh rest of the day I'll come on a little bit later uh and do uh.

another episode on um, um, well I'll save it for you I'll You'll be surprised when you see it all right? So I'll talk to you guys soon. All right. a reminder. As always, trading is risky.

My results are typical, and there's no guarantee you'll find success. So take it slow. All right. I'll see you guys later.
