All right everyone. So I'm going to go over my trades for today and boy, look at that rejection candle that we just had on V L O N. Holy smokes, this thing was just at the halt up level at 119 and the bottom dropped out. it just flushed all the way to 95 cents.

I mean this is a big drop for a cheap stock. Well, I guess Vlon is my biggest winner today. Um, but I So today was a tough day and I'm at my Max loss because I know I spent over a thousand dollars on commissions. so I'm down five grand today.

so daily Max Loss: five thousand hit the max loss. Shutting it Down live to trade another day I could certainly keep trading and I'm exercising discipline to stop before it gets worse, the writing is on the wall. The problem today is I had um, you know I had like 15 base hit trades and then I caught a three thousand dollar loss on Licn and I didn't expect it I didn't see that coming so we'll look at that trade for sure. and then after that I jumped into a trade on Gns with 10 000 shares which was a little aggressive and I caught a 20 cent flush on that and that that was basically that.

that was it I was like all right writing's on the wall I'm being too aggressive I got a that was a that was one of those kind of jumped right in quick and added double the loss on the day. So anyways, all right let's go back to the beginning of the day. So uh today I Started first trade of the day in the red Xpom right? So Xpon? uh I'm down. uh what is it 600 on it? Uh so I started on xpon.

let me switch over to my other time frame. So first trade was on Xpon. this was uh at about 7 A.M uh I jumped in this it was actually 7 20. so it was not there.

It was right here. all right. So it breaks through the high right here. The high of this candle was Uh 373 and I got into 382 and 389.

it hit a high of 393. I got in high. uh I thought because it just broke out and it was. You know it was squeezing up that it was going to continue.

So it was a momentum trade basically jumping in 10 cent stop. Just let's see what it does. It stalled out and it took a 400 loss on the first trade. I got back in when it came up right here and took a 200 loss right there.

which put me down 600. two losses in a row in Xpon I don't like that down. 632 on it I was like nope I can't trust this stock anymore. Did not go back for it.

That was it. Two trades, two losers. That was that. All right.

So that was Xpom. The next trade was on comms and this actually recouped the 600. I was read on um on xpon and I got myself up maybe like 100 on the day comms I close I'm I'm at 434 right now, but I was up a little over a thousand on it so gave back half my gains on it. But anyways, um so I started trading that one uh, right in this area.

so we got a break of V-wap right here. We got a pullback and then we got this move here through 577 up to a high of 6.608 I hit my Peak as it hit 608 but I then added back at six it went lower I gave back some profit on it and anyways, um, it didn't end up giving me really that much in profit. but I did trade it first on the break of V-wap right here, then on this breakout right here and I traded it again as it came back up right here. uh I traded it actually one last time at the open.

so I traded it on I guess four different um spots on that chart and yeah, I thought I had more in it, but it didn't and now you're kind of already seeing a little bit of jumping around which I'm okay with I cut the losses on losers I focus on the winner I focus on what's strong. Comms was, uh, one of the leading gappers when it was at its peak the Vlon. We'll look at that one for sure. that one's a cheaper stock.

clnn I saw it uh move up floats 44 million shares I Expected it would be choppy and yeah it was pretty choppy. You got a nice squeeze there up to 240 more than I expected and then it sells off. So that was Clnn. No trades on that one for me.

So the next trade after coms uh let's see was MTC MTC I'm up 577 on it. it's not much. uh I got in it as it broke one dollar so 99 Cents it ends up oh actually I guess it um had another trade right there I didn't see that anyways I missed that one but I traded it right here from a dollar to a high of a dollar Eleven ten thousand share starter position average four cents five cents a share 500 bucks Took two trades on it uh I thought what I liked about this was as it was hitting this high it was the leading gapper in the whole market and I was like okay here we go leading gapper this stock is squeezing. It's a cheaper stock but Traders are focusing on leading gainers and that just kind of rolled over.

I'm surprised that it came back up from a low of like 77 cents all the way back up to 127. but then it came back down. So after Um comes and MTC and the xpon trade I had Silo and you can see after all that I was up maybe like 700 on the day I wasn't up by a lot and I knew even at that time that my commissions were churning and so I was like I'm I'm probably break even on the day. So Silo that one hit the scanners popped up for a second, didn't hold.

got out of that quick. Uh, that was silo. There was some news out on it uh this morning but you know it just didn't hold up well. popped up there to three 353.

so then I had let's look at licm. All right so Licm I someone called this out in chat and I looked at and I was like okay here we go. I like that daily chart. it's a recent IPO blue sky on the daily chart is over 425.

it's got after hours and pre-market highs of five and it was at 450 and there was a bid. The spread was pretty tight I jumped in at 4 55. I added 465. it hits a high of 475.

I was like this looks good I had 10 000 shares and then it dropped to 418 on one 10 second candle I don't know it was just a big sell order I guess it pops back up to 450 and I got out of that with a three thousand dollar loss. That was a big loss I didn't expect that and that's just unfortunately. So what could I have done to avoid this? Well, I could have said I'm not going to trade it because it's not the leading. it's not one of the top three leading gainers or gappers and attention is maybe a little too dispersed today.

Okay, but it was a good daily setup I do like that daily setup a lot and these ones can make big moves. so I don't know. Um I don't know. it's just it ended up being you know one of those traits with that's a loser and I could have maybe just said it's not the leading Gainer and so for that reason alone, I'll wait and maybe trade it when it's higher up.

but if I had waited I would have certainly missed a good chunk of the move. But you know the the big flush there. Unfortunately, you know that sometimes happens someone had a sell order ready to go, it triggers and that dropped it. So it was unexpected and it put me down.

You know, because I was only up a couple hundred before that trade. So that put me down. you know, 2500 on the day or 2800 on the day? but I knew I at that point was already turning commissions and then I had, um, an immediate loss I jumped in Gns that Gns hit the scanners and I was like okay, Gns, you know, daily chart. If it's you know we're on a pullback.

this could be this. could be good. Traders are probably going to be focusing on this one I jumped in it at um it was high I got in it like five uh sorry 650 655 665 hit a high of 6.75 and then it dropped all the way back down to 6 20. took a two thousand dollar loss on that one and I was like okay I'm down at that point a little over four grand I was like this is this is not good uh I think I'm gonna have to probably call it here and that was that.

The time was about 9 23. so I was like I think I'm gonna have to call it um but let me just I'm not quite in my Max loss so let me just let's just see what happens. Um so V-l-o-n um it starts to pull away I guess it was at the open Um so let's see I I jumped in this I hesitated I had the order ready for 15 000 shares at the open I was waiting for it to dip down. it dipped down to 88 I was like do I punch it and I was like 88 cents.

that's a little cheap man. you usually don't trade stocks even below a dollar. so I was like no no just just wait on that for a second. So then it pops back up here to 98 cents and I was like son of a gun, that's 10 cents off of 88.

but then it drops right back down back to 88 and I was like okay, no you were right, you're right and then it comes back up and I was like God dang it. So my I was going through a little bit of an emotional roller coaster as it's up here at 98. I was like you know what I'm gonna punch him so I did I took 20 000 shares at 98 cents 99 Cents for the break of a dollar it goes up here to a dollar A A and it hits. you see that topping tail hits a dollar A and then it was back down here like a dollar two.

uh and I was like uh I don't know So I take you know half of it or 75 percent of it off the table like a dollar three. So that's you know, 98 cents to a dollar three. it's like 600 bucks on 20 000 shares but it's like a three cent winner. Uh then I add back at a dollar A and it goes into a halt here at a dollar eleven.

So I was like okay, well I'm up three cents for my dollar eight average it opens and hits a high right here of a dollar eighteen it goes up to a dollar twenty three I took my profit it dips down I added back 7 500 shares a dollar ten. Got a little exit up here a dollar twenty so kind of traded it in this range but I added back right here on this candle. uh I think it was 15 000 shares might have been twenty thousand for the break through the highs and it dropped here and I stopped out at a Dollar Ten. so I was up a little over 2 000 on Vlon at my Peak which had me down 2500 on the day.

but then on that drop right there I gave back 1500 of it and I was like all right, that's it I'm basically back to down four thousand and now I've even though I made 600 on Vlon I turned commissions trading it so I'm like more or less I'm basically back to where I was before I even started trading it I mean I okay I made a couple hundred bucks but not it's not significant at that point I was like, you know what, it's 9 45. I think the writing's on the wall, call it so uh I called it and that's it. 5000 read on the day. Not a fun way to start the week.

Um, obviously. So closing that down, the good news and there is some good news here. Um, the good news is it's early in the week, so early in the week is. um, you know there's a lot of time to recoup losses.

Also good news. it's only my second red day of the year. that's that's really good news, but both red days are Max Loss: I've had two red days this year, but they're both Max loss. This red day is a little smaller at five thousand.

It gives back what I made on Friday Uh, but I had a slow day on Tuesday or Thursday Wednesday and Thursday last week. but last week was a good week. Um, you know, twelve thousand, fourteen, sixteen. So it was like 20 000.

you know, 21 000 a week? That's not bad, but of course gave back. you know, 20 of that today here? Um, you know. but I just kind of look at it as all right. I gave back Friday's profit.

that's you know, only one day backwards. Really not a big deal and it was good that I called it where I did because I don't think it would have gotten any better if I kept trading I think my next best chance at having a good trade is going to be tomorrow. So I'll be back at it tomorrow bright and early and hopefully we have some better momentum because even though Vlo N was good, this is a little bit of a tricky scanner today and you know that was the market we had. It's unfortunate that I caught that big loss on Licn or whatever it was.

Um, that was unfortunate. but you know, look it happens so you know, cut the loss, move on and that's what I'm doing. All right, That's it for me. I'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning.
