What's up everyone? Alright, so midday market recap is back. Well, uh, I haven't done them in a little while. I've been doing my recaps a little bit more kind of during the morning show. I'll talk about the previous day which you guys may have noticed.

Uh, we have just finished up our uh, winter school program which is perfect timing because first day of spring was on Saturday and uh, the weather weather's getting warm and you can see behind me. I'm working on making some maple syrup. This has been my spring project. Um, and it's been going pretty well.

this is. so. Today I traded made about eighteen thousand dollars this morning which was fantastic. I was up twenty one thousand but gave back three thousand off the top and now I'm gonna spend the rest of the day out here working on this.

If I'm lucky today, I'll get maybe four, maybe four gallons of syrup. It's about four hundred dollars of syrup at a hundred dollars a gallon, but it's worth it. It's a lot of fun, I'm enjoying it, and it keeps me out of the office. So one of the things I mentioned during the recap is knowing when to walk away.

It's so hard to know when to walk away, and it's certainly possible since it's only about noon time that there's something that has made a huge move in the last 15 minutes. or that will make a huge move later in the day and I'll miss it. But that's okay. What I have done today with 18 000 is enough: being able to remind yourself that this is enough and to take it off the table and put it in your pocket is such an important lesson, so I hope you guys enjoy this recap.

We'll break down the trades from today. A little bit of a choppy morning, not super strong. Pre-market things picked up for me more. Um, after the bell rang and we got a red to green move.

But in any case we'll we'll talk about it, We'll break it down and as always questions comments, leave them right down below and I'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning. And as a reminder, as always, in case you didn't already know, trading is risky. Most beginner traders lose money, so do yourself a favor and practice the strategies you're learning in a simulator before you put real money on the line. And with that, let's jump into today's recap.

All right. So let's get into it here. We're going to do a midday market recap during summer school. or sorry, during, well, summer school.

but also during winter school. Um, since the routine each day was trading and then right into classes, I wasn't in the regular habit of doing recaps. What kind of seemed to make more sense was just to sort of do the recap the next day of. This is what I did yesterday.

Uh, as part of the morning show. which works. Um, but we'll do a little recap today. So I'm finishing up.

Uh, eighteen thousand? uh, and four dollars and Zero cents. Now if I flip, I press one button and I flip to my my main account. So I've got a retirement account and a main account. So this gain here today is in my retirement account.

Which is good because that means it's no income tax on it. which is terrific. So I was just encouraging. Uh, those you guys in the chat room to post how you did today and I'm seeing um, you know, a bunch of you guys posting, uh, one person says i'm red and I'm embarrassed to post.

Don't be embarrassed. This is part of learning to trade and the community's here to support you. Some of you guys are posting some nice green trades though as well, variety of Sim and also real money accounts. So all in all, looks like um, we had a decent start to the week and so I'm up eighteen thousand and the main stock that I traded was, uh, sprt, uh, thirteen thousand a profit on that and then a little bit on these other two.

So the thing with um and here's girl, hi girl. So the thing today that I kind of struggled with a little bit was not knowing which one was sort of the obvious one. You know, sprt pre-market was really choppy. as you guys saw from my pre-market trades during the morning show, I was kind of like two steps forward.

Two steps back. I made a little, then I lost a little. I was down 600 on my first trade, then I was up. and then I was.

I think back. red. I don't remember by how much exactly now, but uh, it's amazing how trading sometimes leads to short term memory loss where it's like I didn't really remember exactly. but it all happens so fast and you're so in the zone.

And if you're uh, you know, if you're not focusing on the P L, that's actually a good thing. So in any case, um, this was Sprt pre-market so it was our leading gapper. but it was awfully choppy. I mean it was.

It was, really, uh, quite choppy. So you can see this is our Gap scan here. Uh, so Sprt leading gapper gapping up 272 percent. That's a huge gap, second leading Gap or Dyai up 52 which you can see I traded but only made 1300 on, and the third stock I trade ston was on our halt scanner down here, so I'll show you that one in a second as well.

But uh, yeah. so Sprt is the one that I traded the most and got some trades on it pre-market but it really was choppy. It wasn't super easy and then the bell rings and it just you know it pops up for a second and then just flushes hard. So through this area, uh, we got a attempt at the break through the V-wap right here.

Uh, I did take that trade, it didn't hold and it flushed back down. It was a green trade because I got in early enough and it did hold for a second. I took some profit and then it flushed. Comes back down to this yellow trend line in the classes.

Of course I talk about how I draw these trend lines and you can see that they are. I find quite valid. So this was support here and I had this drawn pre-market so I didn't I don't think I took a dip trade off of this level down here, usually below V web. I try to be a little bit more cautious there, but anyways, it rips through, the V app, rips up to 8 20 and we get a 1 minute micro pullback right here.

Of course I trade through this whole area, squeezes up to 875, pulls back, pops up, pulls back, rips through 875 860, 75 up to nine up to 947 and this was where I made the bulk of my profit on Sprt. Just trading in and out of this range, buying the dips, selling on the pull back, or selling on the rips, then buying the next step, adding it to breakouts and stuff like that. My last trade was a loss Right here. I was up 21 000 and lost 3 000 on this trade right here.

I didn't buy the high, I actually bought a dip, but it just went lower and I had to take the loss on it. And this is where it sits right now and I'm trying to do the smart thing of take the money off the table. Um, I saw um, a student post that they were green today and I know that student had had a red day yesterday and what I was thinking myself is man, I hope you take that off the table and you don't overstay your welcome and I thought well you know, then put your money where your mouth is, lead by example, you do that So I'm taking the money off the table. I think it's the right move here.

Um, all things considered, this was a choppy morning. It was super choppy. I mean it was like sprt and then d-y-a-i This one was choppy as well. It was choppy pre-market and then it kind of ripped into the open and then dropped down and then ripped back to the highs and then false breakout and flushed back to the low.

Not clean, not clean at all Stone, no news, halt's going up and right here it does a perfect bull flag. I didn't trade it because I thought it has no news. I don't think it makes sense but it rips. And then I bought the micro pullback at 478 480 and I think I sold.

and then I added back for the break of five and we ended up getting a move on this all the way up to 537 so made 3 400 on that. You know again, not bad. Tries to get back above the view app. can't do it.

it's coming back down now. So all things considered, I think this is a perfectly reasonable uh, time of day to take some money off the table And you know actually the weather is uh this is this is like perfect weather for making maple syrup. So I have my sugar maples tapped and I'm going to go out and um, this is me and my son. Will get a little more time today playing and working outside and I've done my job here.

Came in, traded three stocks, green on three out of three. It was a little choppy, but you know I got myself green and it's 20 past 10 right now and this is a perfectly uh good time to take it off the table and say I'll live to trade another day. I'll be back. uh tomorrow.

Now the fact is I did not make back everything that I lost on Friday that that's not really important. It's not really good to look at it that way. I was down 26 000 on Friday. uh it's not see sometimes you'll make make it all back what you lose the next day but more often that's not the case and the better thing here is just to be I think disciplined about booking small gains.

So what I had mentioned during the Morning show was the fact that this year I went down. I went into the Red over 150 000 in January. The first two weeks of January for me were Brutal. These were the first two weeks right here.

brutal and I can switch between gross and net in this platform so I can see where it's at either way. But first two weeks of the year of the month terrible went down 150 000 a little over the next two weeks Gamestop made Nine Eight nine hundred thousand dollars. In this one week trading game stop, it was the best week I've ever had. Then we went into February.

First week of February had a 268 000 red day on my birthday, spent the next three weeks digging myself out of that hole. And I did. I actually dug myself out of the full hole and finished the month of February. Green Green by let's see, Um, so Well, it doesn't really matter.

So anyways, Green in February and then March. I was saying to myself, the last thing I want is to lose 150 to 300 thousand dollars in the first two weeks of March. So take it slow and I had a great start. 74, 000 2600 Red Five Grand 74 000.

Green Green Green Green down Twenty six thousand. This wasn't great and on this day I was green and then I gave it back. Uh so my P L here I was Green here and by fifteen thousand and then went into the red and then uh. Tuesday.

Wednesday Thursday decent and then here on Friday I went red and then recovered half of it which all things considered is is good. I I, I'm happy with that. So anyways, Monday's a a green day here the 22nd. It's not a it's not a home run.

but the thing is, we just didn't I don't know. Sprt. It was sort of a funny catalyst. You know it, I just wasn't really sure about it.

The catalyst was actually a merger and I felt like that's a little weird that that's creating this big move. Usually a merger would not be look another false breakout right there. Usually a merger would not be the catalyst that we typically expect will result in a three four hundred percent move. Um, but it did in this case.

So anyways, that was Sprt. I wasn't really confident in it. It was choppy pre-market and coming into the open usually my best days, I've already hit my daily goal pre-market and then as the bell rings, I'm gonna keep keep trading and keep making money so that that wasn't the case. Um, that just didn't That That just wasn't the case.

Today I didn't hit my daily goal pre-market Um, I struggled pre-market The biggest moves were early from two to nine and then it came into this period of being really choppy and I sat down at like 8 15.. So when I sat down here, maybe it was 8 30. I think it was 8 30.. So when I sat down, it was already in this choppy zone.

Friday I got up at 7 00 a.m to trade early and promptly lost 46 000 on my first trade. So that's why I was like, you know what, just Friday wasn't great. I don't think there's anything exciting. probably Monday morning.

Don't bother, don't bother getting up super early. But actually, today would have paid off. That's just the way it goes. You have to be consistent I think.

And you know, either show up at 7am every day or whatever time you choose. That way you don't kick yourself for today's the one day I didn't Um, I think that's probably the better way to do it. And and same goes for after, uh, afternoon trading. You either always do it or you never do it.

Look at that move from eight to nine to ten. oh boy. Well, you know what? they're gonna go with or without you. and I think it's It's easy to get Fomo looking at some of this stuff, but on the other hand, I don't know what the volume is on this.

Let's see jfin 3.7 million shares of volume. it's up 30. I don't see any news. Uh, you know I think the important thing is to pay yourself and put money in your pocket Knowing when to walk away is very hard.

That that's a very big challenge for trading and I think that many, many people struggle with that. It's overstaying your welcome trading. you know, too far into the day and then in one trade. Just like that.

Maybe you bought that for the break of 11 and now it's back at 10 40. And just like that, you give back half your gains and then you're like, man, why didn't I stop sooner I've said that so many times. Why didn't I just stop sooner on Friday? Why didn't I just stop when I was green Or when I was up Only five thousand. Only five thousand.

Well, that's not a huge day for me at this point. Still a good day. So uh, it's just. I don't know.

It's just a challenge with trading. So as a reminder, as always, I'm gonna put up my disclaimer here. Um, trading is risky. Most beginner traders lose money.

I struggled as a beginner. I was no exception to that. I wasn't like someone that just jumped into the market and was like made a million dollars like I don't know. Uh, overnight.

I don't know that anyone. Well, maybe people that traded Gamestop or something. but um, that. that was not my experience and I think it's not the common experience.

So with that in mind, it's really important to focus on education if you are going to trade with real money to trade with really small share size or the smarter thing is to train a simulator. But not everyone wants to do that because the simulator can't simulate the emotions and so people sometimes just mess around and treat it differently. so some people prefer, especially with brokers. Now with no commissions, just trading 10 shares or something like that.

Even though you're not going to make a lot of money, it just is a is a better simulation of the emotion in trading than a simulator that's just totally pretend money. In any case, however, you do it. It's a good idea to, um, save that big share size for the you you know, Six months, 12 months, 18 months down the road. Who? if you stick with it, we'll most likely know a lot more about the market than the you of today.

So try to be smart about that. All right? Uh, well with that, I'm going to shut it down. I don't want to get fomo, you know, I don't want to sit and watch something like this and then convince my say myself to jump in and then next thing you know I'm giving back gains when I said I was done. That's one of the challenges with doing recaps is that I'll do the recap and then I'm pulling up my charts and then I see something and then I start getting drawn back in.

That's um, so you know some days I'll just say, you know what? I I'm too susceptible. Today, I'm maybe not going to do the recap. I'll just I'll do it. I'll just do it as part of the morning show the next day recap the previous day.

But in any case, today felt felt good. So did that recap. I hope you guys enjoy it and I will see you Uh, first thing tomorrow morning. of course those on Youtube and Facebook.
