Hey guys so there's only one day left in the trading year and today actually is my last day trading um in 2020, and this week has been extremely crazy and volatile with a low float. Small cap stocks um like ipdn, rhe, acy, uuu and a couple others. So um it's definitely a week where um the large caps were. You know the volume were kind of low, not a lot of follow-through, but the small caps has been crazy and we have to be careful both on the long side and the short side.

And i did trade them today, so let's go over them right now. So i think the small cap that started everything was acy um. This stock, you know, was trading at one time up: a thousand percent you just started holding up after we broke above the seven dollars, pre-market highs and just grind up all the way from uh ten dollars and was in multiple holds. This chart doesn't show all the holds, but uh it was in at least three or four holds on the way up to 38 dollars, and it was halted on t1 um news pending hold.

Basically a company, you know, uh is going to come out with an announcement. Updating on the news of why the stock went a thousand percent on the day um, and i think you know they were holding this for. If you look at the time frame down here, um, it holds it from around 10. 30.

10. 40. All the way to three o'clock, so it opened around three o'clock. Basically, the news was: the company was not aware of anything that could cause this activity to go a thousand percent uh and the stock just dumped, and for me i was looking at a stock all day on the front side, there was never any true pullback and Consolidation for me to go along, so i never caught anything on the front side and i'm totally fine with that.

To be honest, like i don't want to be chasing into the holes on the way up, i don't want to chase in the breakouts on these low float, small cap stocks sure there was a lot of money to be made, but i want to argue that if You you know chase the breakouts on stocks like acy on monday, you probably would have gotten destroyed on stocks like uuu and other stock like ipdn today, right if you, if you keep on trying to do the same, breakout moves on these low float stocks. You know it might work one or two times that goes a thousand percent, but the the rest of the time. Ninety percent of the time it's not going to work. So when i go long on these lower float stocks, i always try to buy the dips or try to buy the consolidation of support and after the unhold you know, you see the hold down from 21 down to 13 uh when open i got in like this.

Is nothing to be honest, like a really small size starter, it's really sketchy, so i bought it around 13 and bounce it to i think. Like 15., that's it only starter size, nothing big um, just because after the unholds there was a lot of selling, and usually you know you know, i would only do that - not expecting for the stock to go back to 30 dollars, but a quick bounce like a Dollar share two dollars a share, i'm okay with that. Sometimes you know the best trades are no trades. Imagine if you were trying to long everything up here and you got in at 35, and the stock opened at fifteen dollars, you're instantly down fifty percent um.

So acy, that's the one that started all same as rhe, which also was trading around on the same day, and they didn't did the exact same action. They hold it with news pending and the very next day after monday. Look at the stock uu. They did.

The exact same thing, except they hold it, um pretty much right at the open at like 9, 40, 9, 50 from here 12 40 and opened later on around 11 down 750 7.50. So that's you know an instant again 50 holds down. So there wasn't anything spectacular for me this week, um so that little tiny dip by you song. I see why um 10 t e n x was a short just small scallops.

I did yesterday nothing big, so the small caps have been small trades for me. As for the large caps like this week, i just couldn't get anything going. I keep on getting chopped up, um mrna. I was thinking that we're going to continue the uptrend on the daily.

Today i had long some small starter didn't work. Um cut at the low of the day 116 and the stuff just tanked, with it being a good shorts in hindsight, but i didn't see a short at the time and i tried it again around here: 1 12. Thinking that we're going to test, you know maybe 113s, what 114s didn't happen and stopped out so tons of paper cuts this week overall, not just today and same thing as baba, i had a good long off the open on the dip and it sold uh from Maybe 237 238 and sold into 2 39 thinking that we can get higher and every at the back that just didn't work. So i cut everything here, so i just got chopped up a lot on large caps this week, but i've been doing a little bit better on the small caps, mostly scalps, both on long long side and the short side.

The first stock is btbt, so this one, you know gapped up to new all-time highs around pre-market. Today the stock is easy to borrow and ssr is triggered on the stock. So usually, when i see those two signs, it doesn't mean it's going to go straight to the moon, but usually it means that if it holds up the consolidation on the dips, there's possible upside for the stock, and that's why i longed starter size on the morning. Dip here to 12 30, i identify some pre-market levels around the 1250s um.

You know i sold into it just to lock in some, so i have very partial size. Just in case i keep on you know, breaking down, i had partial size and i turned around. I was looking at a couple of the stocks uh it squeezed all the way to 14. That's why i sold all of it, and i tried to add back here and here just to re-add back in in case we squeezed to 5 15, but it didn't happen.

So uh on the dead buys had some decent entries around 1370s um. We added up here should have sold into it, but i was thinking that we're going to go to 15 and that's where i was looking to sell but didn't happen, and the stock just reversed. Really quickly um, so i stopped out pretty much break even on the secondary loan trade and the stock just sold off to 13s and then now we're reclaiming back to high. So a lot of range for the small caps recently, both on the long side and the short side and the other stock i scalped on short side was bngo.

I didn't go long on the stock at all um, just because it was trading in a really small range from you know: 192 dollars. I didn't trade on the long side, but i did short it for some scalps around the 270s. You know covered all into it. Just one entry, one exit: i want to keep it simple, given that the small caps have been a little bit unpredictable lately and i shorted a little bit risking three dollars here: um 290s added some 291 and cover it into here.

So just small scalps. But you know smoking sure small wins, but i'd rather do that than to be stuck both on the long side or short side on these crazy holes that we've been seeing so by these unpredictable small cap socks. I mean ind. Oh, this is the flavor of the day.

Today i only got 100 shares on the locates, they were expensive and they rang out quick. If you think about it. The last few days we've seen these low float mx stocks like uuu, i think acy and a couple others just go straight up hold and then do a desk drop. So that's kind of what i was thinking on indo, even though i only got 100 shares.

I still want to use it well right. 100 shares um, you know around 1550s, that's the pre-market level and covered over here 1080.. The locates were expensive, but if you use it well, you can still get some very nice meat on the bone here, um. So that's it for short, um not 100 shares is not a big size.

That's all. I could get right uh and i got another short around 1060 um, and you know i just kind of left it alone, thinking that we can go all the way back to sixes didn't happen, and i was just really tired of getting stuck in these holds. So i was stuck in there once twice three times, but it's okay like to me. This is fine, because it's only 100 shares um.

I covered everything here around 850. i kind of lost patience with it and the stock just faded, lower um, again only 100 shares. So it's not like i had you know 5 000 shares on this um, but small wins add up, but this is just what i was saying that if you try to do the the same uh i guess buying the breakouts buy into these volatility holds the last Few days you would have gotten destroyed on indo and uu the best way to trade. These holes is try to avoid them, in my opinion, both on long side and a short side.
