All right. Well, uh, it's about 907 and we're sitting here this morning. I've already hit my daily goal, so we've already had some great great opportunities early and now I'm scaling scaling down a little bit. uh, 23 minutes to the opening bell.

The trades that were the best were naturally Psydu, which had a very nice two nice moves from 693 here up to a high of 863 but also had the first leg right here. From five dollars up to seven dollars and all of this is off of yesterday's action. We, if you recall, traded this one yesterday on this initial move higher you know, like two bucks and now it's at eight dollars. So very nice to see.

Um, I'm hoping that we see more continuation like that, but in any case, was happy with it today, but also acknowledging that it's you know, it's pretty extended at this point. I'm just going for base hits in this market and if I can get base hits up towards my daily goal, I'm happy with that. 5000 a day is a million dollars a year. Over a million.

so that's that's very, very good and I'm very happy with that. I don't want to try to push my luck when the market has been a little less forgiving. Reminder is always that of course trading is risky and my results are not typical and there's no guarantee you'll find success whether you learn from me or you trade on your own, so you should definitely take it slow. I'm thinking today, having locked up over 5000 in profit uh, before 9 a.m that I want to make sure I keep that in my pocket.

You know, last year we had a lot of days where I was just crushing it, far exceeding this kind of you know, five thousand dollar number. But in this market a lot of days where I've made that money and then given it back made money. Giving it back, made money, giving it back and doing all of that churns a lot of commissions and I just don't really want to. uh, get into that if I can help it.

So my thought is to reduce share size as we're coming closer into the day and as I've crossed over my daily goals so I prevent myself from giving back the early gains. If I can add a little bit more, that's fine. if something shows that it's got some strength adn I was a little unsure about it. Um, the problem with this one? I mean, you know, all things considered, it's moved pretty nicely.

As you can see, here, you've got this pullback at two dollars and then up to 270, pull back and up to 285. the float is a little higher. It's a little more thickly traded, so I'm feeling like I I'm not sure that I want to go for it and I'm going to try to stick with my gut on that. So nice to see it moving higher, but I'll just say I missed it and look for the next one.

Psydu right now pulling back a bit. It's kind of choppy in this area. It's not, uh, you know, in a breakout mode. it's kind of in consolidation.

Aerc squeezed up nicely yesterday and it's kind of come back up to that 2170 spot. just a little shy of it, but over 21.70 Then you're looking at yesterday's high of 23.70 so that's two dollars a share and then, uh, you know, over that level, you've got room on the daily over 25 with room 225.90 that's a trigger and then you've got more room beyond that. So that's definitely interesting, but I don't know if it's going to get into that level. H S C S this one.

uh, it's an ipo. A little choppy. maybe over four could be interesting, but recent ipos haven't been super easy for us recently, so oh, probably don't want to push that one too hard. Let's see uh, what else.

Back to saidu: Pulling back a little bit here. Yeah, I see that. So with about 15 minutes to the bell, I think the game plan is going to be to watch aerc. Psydu, maybe adn a couple others that I traded earlier.

we had cmra, this squeezed up nicely but then retraced V I V K sort of similar, squeezed up and retraced. So those two I'm not as interested in right now, but Side Do and Aerc are going to be my top watch stocks going into the open, so that's my watch list for you. And um, like I said, I've already hit the daily goal. So just sitting back and looking to add a little icing to the cake of today without overstaying my welcome and giving back profit so I could probably risk about 700 on my next trade.

Which means I probably shouldn't take big size. You know, ten thousand shares on some stocks like Aerc would be way too much risk. Uh, maybe Aerc is like a two to three thousand share type of stock if the spreads tighten up. Uh, adn, maybe that's 5 000 to 7 500.

But you know, just have to think. can I? How much am I risking and think about the risk first and then you know that that just has to be the first question. And we're coming to the end of the week here. and we have a long weekend.

So oh, and I'm tired as it turns out. All right, Happy Birthday in advance in case I miss it tomorrow. Yeah, we have a market holiday on Monday, so four day week next week Tuesday through Friday and then a regular week the next the following week. and then we have the market closed on Monday, July 4th.

So a couple holidays coming up here. mostly. you know, not something that day traders are excited about. But uh, that's okay.

We like to work. we like to trade. Uh, Adn floats a little higher. pretty thickly traded, a little cheaper.

Feels like the type I'd struggle to get smaller gains on, so I don't know. And at this point, I've already missed the the first pullback in the second pullback, so I don't want to push it. Yep, sitting sitting tight right now. Nothing that I'm looking at at the moment is really so exciting that I'm wanting to jump in it.

Aerc is below its pivot of 2170. Psydu is pulled back a little bit adn I missed it or chose not to trade it. Either way, you had a pull back at two, another one at 260, and a small one here. So that was your third pullback getting extended.

So what is obvious today? Well, I think this is a bit of a challenge because there's a number that are somewhat obvious. Yeah, even with the market being, you know, as bearish as it's been, I've you know, had a good week, so there's still been opportunities every day. Part of the reason this has been a good week is because I've thrown in the towel and not overstayed my welcome. I've kind of known the and seemed to have walked away at the right time.

Now I've certainly left money on the table as you, you always will, but you're either leaving money on the table or giving back profit. There's no way you could perfectly time your exit every day. In a market with thousands of stocks and opportunities moving, you know? So you at a certain point say you know what I need A thousand dollars a day to feel good and live comfortably or whatever the case is. 500 a day? Whatever your number is, you hit it and you say, okay, well I got it.

Lock it up. I'll try again tomorrow. You know how many days have you had your daily goal and then finished read Now you know every now and then that can happen. But if it's happening on a regular basis as it was for me, uh, you know that last week, that's the indicator to say.

Well, wait a second. I need to slow down a little bit. This market is not as forgiving. I need to stop pushing my pushing, my luck and not being grateful for the gains I have.

So that's just my two cents You okay? 10 minutes to the opening bell. so let's try to be disciplined, look for opportunities, not overstay our welcome. We may see a couple more setups that can provide some volatility and maybe opportunities. I'm going to be sizing down a bit.

Overall market, you know, we had a rally yesterday, but then a gap down here today. so overall market is pulling back, but that's you know. I mean that hasn't stopped us from finding opportunities so far. but as things slow down a little bit, you know like side do going sideways.

Some traders might kind of say, well what's the overall market doing and then you're like oh um, well. maybe I don't want to keep holding this and you can just sort of end up seeing things fading a bit. Traders are going to be light on their toes. Get in, get green, get out.

I I think at least pulling back now. Volume weight average price is about 7.31 Adn is the strongest at 174 percent, so maybe attention switching away from sideways pulling back and more traders focusing on Adn? That's possible. Aerc still, kind of, you know, hanging out here, but not sure. Okay, so with seven minutes to the bell, about six minutes to the bell, I think we know the game plan.

Be looking for some opportunities between now and you know, 10, 10, 30 and try to lock up gains on the early side and try again tomorrow. All right. So that's the game plan and I'll remind you guys as always that trading is risky. My results are not typical so make sure you take it slow and we'll be back here first thing tomorrow morning.

All right, I'll see you Then you.
