What's up everyone? All right? Well, today was a great day. Momentum is back works up over 50 which is terrific. and today's the first day of trading on vacation. You say hi, hello? Yeah, so trading on vacation is always a little challenging.

You guys have seen me trade on family vacations before and you know, usually it goes relatively well. Um, I always do it because I always like to try to hit a couple trades in the morning and then enjoy the rest of the day. I feel like it kind of keeps me in the groove. I'm not trying to go big and do anything crazy, so trading with smaller size, but that's also perfect for August.

It's perfect for where I'm at in both my small account challenge and my large account, so it took it a little easy today. I didn't make as much as I could have but I got green and we had some momentum so it's a great start to vacation. The only problem is I'm also sick. I've had cold this cold for like a week so kind of picked up over the weekend which is disappointing.

but uh, hopefully I'll be on the other side of it soon and feeling better as the week goes on. Hopefully we see more momentum as the week goes on. Today was great. Love to see more.

but something that I mentioned during the recap is the fact that the expectations always for August should be a little lower because typically it's when a lot of people are on summer break and things like that so there's less volume in the market, less buyers in the market, less sellers too, but just less volume across the board, so subdued momentum. Typically in August, that's okay. if we get one really good opportunity. that right there can cover the whole month.

For instance, last month just on Neuro, I made 150 000 just on one stock and that represented more than half of my gains for the entire month. So if we get just one really good trade this month, one really good trade now it could be one really good stock over the course of many trades over the course like two or three days. But if we get one really good stock, that can make our month and so what's key is in the meantime not digging too deep of a hole. Now I dug myself a little bit of a hole.

On Friday I had a red day, but I didn't lose more than I would make in an ordinary good day, which is good. You know I didn't lose 100 000 or 300 000 bucks or anything like that. so a little red. But I'll bounce back and of course I'll be back at it tomorrow So I'll see you guys then.

I hope you enjoy the recap. Thumbs up for the recap. Thumbs up for works being up 50 which is awesome and uh, thumbs up for the first day of trading on vacation while sick. We'll get through it and I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow.

Alright, see you then. All right everyone. So uh, doing a recap on my main account here up 2300 bucks on Works. This was good.

uh you know, small trades. I did get back a little off the top my last trades from 57 down to 46 so gave back 600 off the top. I was up like 2900 at the high so I pulled back a little bit off the high, but it's a small green day that's part of kind of clear the slate. Ultimately, if I can just finish this week green I will be.

Uh, I'll be feeling a lot better about myself because of course I was red on Friday and that ended up a meeting that I finished the week read which was disappointing. So I'd like to have a green week this week. I have to be a little bit more conservative. stocks like Mdia, you know that squeeze up on light volume.

Unfortunately these ones right now I just don't have the risk tolerance to trade. The loss could just be too great and I just can't afford it. So something like this, I didn't touch Robin Hood. I also didn't touch.

Nice idea, but I just can't trust it. So I focused on Works which was our i guess it was like the fourth leading gap or fifth leading gap for this morning. 7.79 million share float squeezed up first to 350, then up to four, pulled back and I had my best trade on it. Uh, was right here.

a red degree move. I got in right there about four 397. I kind of thought it might read to green because the five minute chart was good. So we had a nice five minute set up with the first five minute candle being at 413 right there.

So I thought if it breaks 413 then we might, we might very likely see a retest of the pre-market high. which was like. and we did. and it squeezed up to 439 and got halted.

So that was the best trade for me. I did try to add, you know, for continuation up to five. I knew that we had this daily level at 480, but I thought we could break through. It ended up being wrong on that, but I didn't give back too much off the top so I'm okay with it.

So a small green day if I could do this, um, for the rest of the week, that would be great. I do recognize that you know it's August. It's the typical time of year for slow sort of choppy trading, which makes a great time of year practice. Get experience trading with the simulator.

If you're trading real money, you've got to be trading the smaller size because this isn't the time to be going big. You know we we may see another big move like we had on Duro last month. but you know until then, until we see something sort of on day two, showing us that it's holding up? Well, we've got to be careful because what we're seeing a lot of are sort of. you know, a pop and a drop.

And of course you can make money on the pop. or you can make money on drop. Either way, like Mdia here, Mdia. Yeah, both ways you can make some money on it, but uh, but it's hard when you get in averaging in and you don't get a big move.

Then you get stuff holding too high or even going back down. It doesn't go up enough so the range is less and it's just not easy. so we'll do better when we have bigger momentum. I don't know why my chart's not loading on narrow.

You know. This move here for me was 150 000 in profit last month. And you know what? last month's profit might just have to tide me over through the month of August. I finished, um, uh, July up over two months like 200 and I don't remember Thirty thousand and fifty? I didn't remember, but it was well over 200 000.

Uh, as we sit right now, I'm down about 30 000 on the month. maybe 20 28 000 after today. So I'm right on the month of August. But of course it's still early, so I'm not really worried about that.

But I'm not off to a great start and what I'm really waiting for is something to show some big momentum. So Something Like works. Not just to top out at 465, but to go to five, to six, to seven, to eight. I'm eager for those three four hundred percent intraday moves.

but it's uh, seasonally, more likely that they'll happen, uh, between sort of October and uh, February and what we do get during these summer months. Um, you know, we gotta be grateful for it. Just let it be a nice summer victory and let it tide us over until things do get better because there's some seasonality to the market there. It's definitely cyclical, but there's a bit of a seasonal as well.

So anyways, that's it for me. Uh, you know, small green day? That was. That was the goal. Just don't do anything too aggressive and get green.

So I've got Green shut down. I'll be back tomorrow and hopefully we see you know, another single stock like Works one one stock like that a day is fine. I can read 2 000 five thousand a day for the next few days until we get something bigger. The days where we come in and there's nothing.

That's when it's a little bit disappointing, but hopefully we get something okay, so that's it for me. Good luck if you keep training. it's about 10 am and I'll see you in the morning.
