What's up everyone? All right. So guess what? Another Green Day finished up $4,800 on Monday another $1,700 today. So that makes this a great week. Today is a 230 4th trading day of the year and we've got three days left in 2018.

I've got three days to get myself over five hundred thousand dollars of profit and I'm sitting right now right around four hundred ninety seven thousand dollars. So I am very close to that big milestone and it'll be the first time I've ever broken over half a million dollars in the trading here. So this is exciting for me. and I think you know? One of the things that really speaks to is the fact that even me having done this for now nearly a decade, I'm still having.

you know I'm still growing I'm still getting better. I'm better this year than I was last year. My PNL reflects that. My confidence, you know, reflects that.

and that's a really cool feeling. and I can kind of only imagine where I'll be in another five years, right? just continuing to get better now. I'm sure at a certain point there will be a year where I make less than the previous year and that might be due to market fluctuation. It might be due to just the the activity in the small cap market that I focus on, but it'll be interesting to see where kind of that plateau is for me.

And and the fact even this month in December with the market being down 15 20 percent that I'm green I'm up twenty thousand dollars which is over ten percent in my small account small accounts. Um, I've got over two hundred thousand dollars in this account cuz it's been growing for the last several months. So I'm also going to take some money out here at the end of this week and I'll start next year with a smaller account you know, back down towards 3040 thousand and then start building you back up. So anyways, enjoy the recap today.

As usual, any questions, any comments leave below I'll come back through an answer later this afternoon. I'll see you all first thing tomorrow morning 9:00 9:15 for pre market analysis. All right, see you guys in the morning. Enjoy! All right everyone! So we're gonna do our midday market recap here.

Go over the trades from this morning. Another green day which is great. Hope you guys had a great day off yesterday. I Know it was nice for me and relaxing.

and of course it was even nicer because I made 47 hundred dollars on Monday morning trading on my laptop for like an hour half an hour so went into Christmas Day feeling good with an extra nearly five thousand dollars in my pocket day off yesterday. back ad today up one thousand, seven hundred thirteen dollars and 59 cents. So this is the PNL here today. I'm actually gonna save my layout real quick.

let me just save it down on the screen before I leave it up there. I just changed where I placed one of my charts. Okay, go like that. let's see and like that.

Boom and press Save! So the two stocks I traded today sfe tiene di L Guess what? Both of them again were right off the watchlist. so we were watching both of these pre market before the market had even opened. They were both on the watchlist same as the way we did it on Monday trading right off the watchlist. So you know it really pays to spend, you know, a few minutes in the morning with me breaking down the watchlist because these two trades really just super straightforward.

So every day a course starts the same way. Looking at our Gap scanners, these scanners tell us where there's volatility in the market. So running this scanner at 929 this morning you'll see and actually let me go just a smidge before that, let me go 925 So 925 you can see s Fe T was our leading Gap er up 49% All right. So this stock priced at four dollars and 22 cents a 49% pre market 468,000 share flow with 229 thousand shares of pre market volume these all check out is being good.

These are the things I look at from a technical standpoint before I even pull up the chart I Can tell this is a stock I Want to look at the biggest risk is that I'm gonna pull up the chart on this and either the daily chart is going to be bad or number two, there'll be no Catalyst or number Three. The catalyst is that the company has been bought out at four dollars and 22 cents per share. But that wasn't the case with this stock. With this stock, we had a Catalyst right here that they announced a order from a leading food and beverage corporation.

So good! headline there and the daily chart on this one was not bad. It's been beating up for a while now starting to curl back up so I really on this one felt pretty confident right out of the gates that it was gonna squeeze higher. I Jumped in for the break over the half dollar I Wanted to get in a little quicker pre market high was four dollars and 38 cents. The bell rings, it sells off, it surges back up and I ended up getting kind of a up bad fill and then it was just not a great fill in at Forty One, Fifty and Fifty four I sold one hundred shares of Sixty Four, sold more at fifty, the rest of 46 and the very rest of it I guess that was that was the rest of it.

Um, 46 on SF et I thought I so the rest of it at 40 there. So I ended up losing a hundred fifty bucks on this. with nine thousand shares, that's $2 two cents per share which is really not bad. I mean I stepped up to the plate with nine thousand shares for a second.

I was up about fifteen hundred dollars, but it didn't hold that level. It curled and dropped back down and I stopped out of it just below breakeven. So you know, risking 15 100 risking $150 to make fifteen hundred is good risk reward. This one didn't go the right way so stopped out.

Took a small loss on it. No big deal. Next one ad IL This one was not on our Gap scanner this morning. however, actually maybe it was on the Gap scanner somewhere.

Yeah, I was right down here with 23,000 shares, but we were watching this mostly because this is the stock that I made almost $5,000 on on. Monday it made excuse me this really big move up to 575 and so I was watching it market right in this area. You can see how it was just sort of lined up perfectly for a break over 546 right going into the open. It ends up breaking that level and curling up to a high of 560.

I Really wanted to jump into it at 560 right out of the gates, but I was more focused on Sfe tee because Sfat had more volume and so I thought you know more volume with a true catalyst. That was the safer one to watch. but in the first minute, this thing squeezes from 560 right up to six dollars and four cents. I Bought this pullback right here.

Alright, so let's pull this back now and look at it like this. So I bought this pullback right here. Jumping into it at let's see six, Five Ninety Seven Six and Six Oh Five Nine thousand shares selling at 609, 620 and 620 a little bit more and 601 and 629 639 or 31 and then I added back at 650. Alright, so the very first trade I'm in here at 6 and I'm selling basically into this squeeze up to 33 and then right here it does a little one minute pullback and so I add back at 650.

Alright, so I add actually no sorry I got in right here I didn't take this pullback I got back in on this pullback right here. So here it came back up and double topped at 660 and then I got in right on that candle there as it squeezed back up. So that was my entry at 49 and 50. Quickly sold the shares at 57 and 59 close.

Lee's all right. sold the shares 50, 57, 59, added back at 55. so the add back in 55 was at 9:40 so that was I guess I don't know. right around right around this level here, right around there.

Alright, took a little scalp there from 55 up to 69. In and out quick scalp got back in at 69 and 70. That was right up here on this little pullback. Sold on the move up to 84.

All right, pulls back again I ended up taking another trade at 70, 70, 74, 78 right here, going for the break over 80 that was in this area. here. we didn't end up getting that that breakout that I was looking for I sold it as 66 and took a $500 loss. All right.

So I took a loss. That was my second loss of the day and then I got back in right here as we squeezed up. As you can see I missed this little pullback right here. I was tempted to take it, but I skipped on it and then I ended up taking a starter at seven and another one at 7 18, 7, 12, and 7 16 selling at a high a day of seven 23.

the high of day was 725. So I think I did a pretty good job on this one, you know? Overall I made 1,800 bucks on the stock. I could have been more aggressive, but you know where I'm sitting right now I'm about 17 or maybe $1,500 off of half a million dollars in profits for the year. so I really want to break that line in the sand I don't want to take a trade and have a big loss so I'm being a little more conservative, selling quickly, taking the profit adding back if it still holds up and you know that today I ended up giving me $1700 a profit, Another good day.

So I'm gonna write it in the calendar, make it official. it is the 230 4th day of the year plus 1700 and what is it? Thirteen dollars and 59 cents? Not bad at all. So that puts me up about 6,200 or so, something like that on 6500 on the week, up about 20,000 now or so on the month which is you know not my best month of the year but is green and I can be happy with that. My best month of the year was last January so it's been a little while all the way back in last January made 100 and thousand.

My worst month of the year was February when I lost ten grand and so it looks like this will be my as of right now. This will be my fourth worst month of the year with February being the worst, August being the second worst, in September being the third worst. so fourth worst month of the year or the eighth best month of the year depending on how you look at it, you know and it's all relative and in any case it's a green month. so I really don't have too much to complain about.

I'm happy with that so we'll try to finish it up two more green days Thursday Friday Want to finish this year in the green and then go into well, you know what? I guess we've got Thursday Friday and then we have Monday the 31st which is I believe another half day. So I actually have three more days here of 2018 to try to get over that half-million dollar mark and then we'll be in January Before you know it, I Already have my January calendar right here. This is the Junkyard Calendar. Well, you guys might not be able to see it, but Junkyard Calendar Junkyard Calendar for 2019.

So I'm excited about this. This looks like a pretty cool calendar. some old time drawings of junkyards so that'll be fun. Well hopefully have a good 2019.

A little bit of a bumpy start to 2018. A little bit of a bumpy finish in terms of the overall market, but you know, at the same time, you know as day traders, the way we manage our risk. You know these these ups and downs in the market just don't affect us all that much. so that's pretty nice.
