What's up, everyone? All right. So Green Day Recap Here It was read yesterday. Green Today I didn't make back everything I lost yesterday. I didn't think I would, but I actually had a much better day than I was expecting.

A lot better than I was expecting. I had a good day on Monday, a terrible day yesterday, and a good day today. So you know we're in this market where it's like one good day, one bad day, one good day, one bad day. And I'm obviously not making the progress on the month that I was hoping to make.

But today does recoup a good portion of yesterday's losses, which is good. Um, it's just very choppy and as I look at live, I see it just a really nasty false breakout. Tricky stuff. You know, we were starting to see that momentum, but it's just not.

It's not quite there yet, so definitely still a market to be very quick in Just capture the profit. Get out. Don't overstay your welcome. And I overstayed my welcome a little bit today and I gave back almost half the profit on the day.

but I'm still in good shape. I'm still green. I'm happy with that and I'll be back at it tomorrow. I'll have to be careful tomorrow though, because I haven't had two back-to-back red days yet this month, so I have to start a little conservatively tomorrow and just see if I can get green.

Sorry, two back-to-back green days. Just see if I can get green and then go from there. So anyways, that's it for me. I hope you guys enjoyed the recap.

As always questions comments, leave them down below and we'll see you guys first thing tomorrow morning. What's up everyone? All right? So we're gonna do recap here. Um, it's a green day which is good. uh not as big of a green day as I might like.

Uh well I'm I'm up nothing that's in my main account. In this account I'm up 29 000. I when I was up 42 000 I said i'm done, I'm walking away and then I took one more trade and that was live break of V app right here and it was looking good, broke V web nicely and then rejected and halt coming down and I lost 12 000 bucks and now I'm really wishing I had stopped trading when I said I so I said I don't want to walk away with anything less than 45 000 today and at that point I was up 49 000. took a couple losses, was up only 42 000 and said all right that's it, I'm done and then saw live curling up and I was like i can't I can't not take this trade.

This looks great and and this is without a doubt the biggest struggle you know. Yesterday was a terrible day Today I said you know I'm just gonna try to get green I'm gonna trade with small size. My first trade on live at like twenty one dollars was with a thousand shares and I'm up thirty two thousand on it. Well look at this move from 21 all the way up to 32 and then to a high of 33 34.

I did really well. I was up 60 thousand dollars at one point today but when I was up 60 000 I was holding 4 000 shares of Live into a halt going down and I took a probably fifteen thousand dollar loss on that trade and then took a trade on Qli and uh had two green trades on it and then two red trades. I took the break of v app on this one as well and lost a couple thousand on that and Vu Zi was not great so you know today my day was was really really good and then stopped being good and started being bad. So on the good part of the day I made about 60 000 and then on the bad part of the day I lost about 30 grand so I gave back about half and because I'm in this place where I just can't seem to trust myself to say I'm done trading and I'm not going to look at anything else, I have to actually shut everything down.

It's kind of embarrassing, but I have to actually shut everything down and go like that because if I keep, if I keep trading this stuff, if I keep seeing what's right here, it's so hard for me not to jump in because I'm in this place right now where I'm a little off my center. You know, I obviously had a bad day yesterday. so I was up 31 000 on Monday, down 65 000 yesterday. I'm up thirty thousand today.

So I'm down five thousand on the week not including commissions. Um, I am very, very fortunate that I'm even up thirty thousand today because with small size of six 000 share positions, I was not expecting to have a good day today. Not like this. so I actually did really well considering.

However, I also kept trading longer than I should have. I overstayed my welcome and I gave back half my profit. Uh, I, I tried to, you know, go for that last trade and I just kept going. So let's let's look at the trades from today.

So beginning with Live, so I'm going to pull my Um scans back up. So hang on, let me just grab this. So this morning, uh, when I sat down, I said to myself, if there's not a good gapper on the Gap scan, I'm not even gonna trade today. I'm not.

I'm just gonna say nope, Not trading. So the leading gapper on our Gap scan this morning was actually a core and I made a thousand dollars on it. Um, on three trades and that was all with a small size. So a core was our, um, let's see, that's sorry.

So Gap Scan top Gappers So a Core was our second leading gapper although it was our leading Gap but before Live popped up. So I took one trade or three trades on Acor. My first one was 3 000 shares for the breakthrough 750. I got in at 750 and sold it for five cents was up 150 bucks and I was like all right that's not bad.

I got back in with 3 000 shares at about 57 for the break over 65. looking for the break through the pre-market high, I stopped out with 38 of loss so I was up about 112 on the stock. I then got back in First Candle to make a new high and sold on the move here up to I actually got exits at like 73 and 74 and so I made a thousand dollars or well I guess made 900 or whatever. but I'm up a thousand dollars on Acor And then I was just sitting here and I saw live, um pop up right about here.

It jumped up on the scanners as a big Gapper, but with only like seven or eight thousand shares of volume. So I was like all right, what's the news? Uh 2020 fiscal results Company had net income of six dollars and 40 cents per share. Also report operating income 20 million increase of 520 over the same period last year. So then I was like whoa and the company repurchased 236 000 shares of their own stock at seven dollars.

So that's when I was like okay, well that's that's a really that sounds like a great catalyst. It drops down here to 17 or 16 and then it surges up right here and I was tempted to buy it for the breakthrough 19. I had an order for 500 shares and I didn't do it because I was just like I can't it's the volume is too light, the risk is too high and then as it started to open up here I went ahead and added at about 21 22 23. I added 400 shares at 25, I added uh let's see I got 21 shares filled at 26.75 I added at 27.

I then took um a little 500 450 shares off the table at 28. then I added back at 28.50 added at 29, took profit off the table at about 30 and then added back at 30 and got out of that trade at like 30 about break even and then got back in at 29 and got out at 31 and then got back in at 29 and then got back out at 33 and then we had the squeeze at the open into the hall and into the hall. I was holding 4 000 shares as it went up and then it resumed and halted immediately coming back down and I lost uh on that quite a bit and so that was my high water mark into this hall and I was looking at this thinking well this first five minute breakout, you know, went up this much. The second one, I'm thinking it might go up half as much.

I was thinking 35 36 35 was my target so I I guess was setting my sights a little high on this one. Um, in hindsight, I could have taken everything off the table. but whatever. You know you don't have big days without stepping up to the plate a little bit and I did step up to the plate a little bit.

So um, so that was that. And um, and now I see the Cpsh popping up right now in my scans and this is where it gets really tempting because I see something like this and it's it's tempting for me to pull it up and say should I just rip a couple quick trades the high is 760. so typically I would be like long is over 760. The problem now is that I'm only up 29 000 on the day versus sixty thousand I've and this is why I shouldn't even see these things and have shut everything down because these become temptations.

But this time of the day we're seeing choppiness. Uh, I've already given back too much. I really shouldn't trade it anyways. Um, so yeah, so live.

Um and then my last trade. So I said if I was up anything less than forty five thousand, I'd stopped trading and I walked away. And then I saw this and I just I jumped on it. and then it rejected, hard, halted down and I gave back 12 000 or so.

Uh, so. and Cpsh, you can see they're going a little higher so that that's definitely a little discouraging. Um, but glass is half full today. Today's a great day, a much better recovery from yesterday's loss than I was expecting.

and um, you know I'll be back at it tomorrow. I have to continue to be conservative and try to stick with my rules and look at the Cpsh. halting a second time. It's it's frustrating.

You know to see these types of things and feel like I'm I'm missing it. I don't like missing stuff. Um, and you know I, I, I want to. I want to have a fifty thousand dollar day.

I wanted to have a once I was up fifty thousand. I was like I wanna have a sixty thousand dollar day. I actually could make back everything I lost yesterday in one day. You don't get that opportunity all the time.

I'm gonna go for it. I went for it and well now I'm up. You know, 29 000 instead of 50 60. But all things considered, life is good.

We had some good momentum today. It was a little choppy, but we had something we had more than we had yesterday. Uh, Qli, you know this was a choppy one as well. I had a couple winners on it and then gave back my profit.

Uh, you know, overstaying my welcome on it. Just a choppy setup, choppy stock. Vuci took some loss, took a loss on that, ended up coming back a bit higher. But yeah, and Cpsh, who knows how high this will go.

This made a big move yesterday, but um, it's got no news, so it's only up 16 all things considered. It's not even up that much, so I don't know the right thing to do after the second haul is just to shut everything down out of sight, out of mind. Instead of being disappointed that I'm not up 50, be grateful that I'm up 29.. So flip that perspective there a little bit and 29 000? lock it up.

Do that a couple more days and hey, I'll have a, you know, I'll be in much better shape. There's no doubt that I'm still a little emotionally fueled today because of yesterday's losses. I knew that that would be the case. and I, you know, I probably for that reason, was adding high on, um, live and being a little too aggressive on it.

but you know, at the same time, I had a good start on it. And anytime you have a stock that goes up ten dollars a share, that's probably the right type of stock to step up to the plate on. So it's it's all good. Uh, tomorrow's a new day, I, you know, definitely stepped up to the plate today with um, you know, some risky, slightly risky entries and made some money.

Gave back half of it, so you know that's that's the way it goes. Uh, tomorrow's a new day. I'll be back at it and hopefully we see a continuation of kind of cleaner momentum And you know, a little bit more, a little more volatility and uh, I hope the hot streak begins. What often is the case is that.

And this has kind of been the case this week where you know 31 000 on Monday Monday was good. We had a leading gapper that was hot. Yesterday leading gapper was terrible. We didn't have good action and I just was trying to trade like it was Monday, but it wasn't The market was cold and now today was pretty.

It's been pretty hot even with Cpsh. Even if I don't trade it, that's a nice two halts in a row. Nice move. Uh, Live and Qli.

Even if they're not holding at their highs, they're still both green on the day, up 100 on, um, live about 45 on Qli. I mean, that's that's good. That's good stuff. So you know we're starting to see things pick up, but then tomorrow might be cold again.

And if tomorrow's cold again, I can't trade as aggressively as I traded today, so I'm going to sit down tomorrow morning. I'll be watching the scanner closely and if the scanner is garbage and we don't see anything that looks good, I might just say you know what, I'm not going to trade. I'd rather have. I'd rather not trade than feed into the choppy market and get myself frustrated.

I need to be protective of that emotional state right now. try to get myself re-centered. I sort of, you know, had a roller coaster down yesterday and then back up today and then back down. But fortunately, I'm gonna say right here, up 29 000 let's step off the roller coaster for today.

Let's not. I mean, it wouldn't take much for me to lose another 10 grand and now I'm up only 19. or another 15 grand and I'm up only 15.. it wouldn't take much, so I've got to be grateful for what I have, not overstay my welcome and clear that profit off the table.

Come back tomorrow, and ultimately by next week I'll be feeling most likely if I have a couple. You know, if I finish this week in good shape tomorrow and Friday and good shape can even be two small days of a thousand dollars. But just you know, without another relapse of really stupid trading. And I would say today was you know, I I wasn't as disciplined as I could have been because I said I was going to walk away if I was up only 45.

And then I took another trade. So what I should have done was shut everything down the second I crossed that that number and I was up only 42. I just shut everything down because by leaving it up and I left it up so I could do my recap. But whatever.

So by leaving it up I you know saw something and and couldn't stop myself from jumping in. So gosh, it's so so hard there. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that way, but you know, again, in a hot market, that instinct that impulse pays me really well and I think that that's something just to go on a bit of a tangent for a second. Um, you know, for for those that are critical of my losses or um, of how aggressive I am at times, or you know who say oh, you're just, you're gambling with your account, You're not.

You're not trading, You're just buying stuff that's squeeze. You're just jumping on everything. Um, you know I've been trading for quite a long time at this point almost 10 years. and I'm you know, I obviously have a strategy that works well.

Trading momentum. Uh, which is what I do and what a lot of um, traders do. We trade momentum. We trade stocks trending up.

A lot of that is about buying high and selling higher. And um, sometimes you have to be hyper aggressive. You have to be willing to jump at something that's moving to capture that opportunity and you know it's It's sort of like, um, if I think about some dogs that have that really strong chase instinct, that hunting instinct, um, you know that instinct in them is so powerful to the point where you know sometimes June will. She'll chase a car.

You know she'll chase. Uh, she'll chase the bike. She'll She's got it in her so deeply that while that chase instinct served her really well and is you know, part of her genetic breed, uh, it doesn't always serve her well. and she needs to sometimes show better restraint.

which is not easy for her. And you know it's one thing for her to see a car driving by from, you know, a hundred feet away. It's another for her to be on the sidewalk and have the car ripped by two feet away. Sometimes it's so close.

The same with a squirrel. you know, squirrel 100 yards out? whatever. but a squirrel five feet away. It's very different and so with trading.

If I would say that I've trained my brain and many of you you know I I didn't have. maybe I was somewhat. Um, you know I had a natural aptitude to pick this up faster. I don't know, maybe I but I would say that through 10 years of trading I have trained my brain to work a little differently.

I bet if you did a brain scan of a trader while they're trading you would see you would see that areas are active that are probably or much more activity in certain areas of the brain than on someone that's you know doing a different type of work that's not trader because you know Ultimately, we've trained ourselves as momentum traders to see what's moving to jump on it quickly to make these very quick assessments. And when you're doing all that, you're sometimes relying on instinct and intuition and sometimes you think you're jumping on something hot, you think you got a squirrel, and you bite down on a tire and you get crushed. And fortunately with trading the the cost of those incidents are your pride, your ego and some profit. Not that you're actually getting run over by a car, it could feel like it sometimes.

Uh, but yeah, so that's the area where it can sometimes be Also difficult to judge objectively. Am I, is this a squirrel or is this a tire? Am I? It's It sometimes feels disappointing that I am not able to always make that, um, really solid determination of am I, Am I jumping here and is this the right thing for me to jump on? Or is it too risky Or is it you know this or that? Uh, I suppose. live this morning. When I first jumped on, it could have gone, um, the other way.

It certainly could have. It could have dropped right back down to 17 and I could have lost a couple thousand bucks on it. But I think the educated intuition there of seeing the earnings knowing it's a former Momentum stock, it was the leading gap. Or you know those things.

That was sort of an educated move. But uh. but sometimes there will be times, maybe later in the day where I'm starting to act faster before I'm really thinking it through. And that's where I can sometimes find myself catching back-to-back losses, so limiting the amount of time that I'm sitting here.

Same with with June, You know how how long can she sit and stare at a squirrel around the yard collecting nuts before she's like I'm Br? I can't I can't not go chase a squirrel anymore. So how long can she maintain that composure? If you, you know train dogs, you know you sit, stay and you know she might be sitting there, almost trembling. She's You know, she's like looking at you, but looking at that thing. but looking at you looking at that thing and that takes a lot of energy.

And sometimes trading is kind of like that. It's like I'm am I going to jump on. No, no, don't jump, jump, jump. Okay, I'm jumping and then no.

You know. So um, every day is challenge. Certainly the struggle right now feels, um, much greater than a month ago. But that's the way the market is.

You know you'll have easy days or eat easier. It's a very relative term. Um, I will have days that feel easier and I'll have days that feel much more difficult. Yesterday was impossible.

Today was better, but I wish I had walked away sooner. So I've got everything shut down now as you can see and I I have to just close it all out. I can't look at scanners. I can't I can't even look at the chat room.

I can't look at anything because I if I see someone say Xyz is ripping into a hall live halted at 32, I'm gonna. I'm gonna immediately run that process of it's 32. That means it's going back to the high if it goes through 35 36 38 40. Oh my god I'm gonna.

And then I'm filming Fomo. Fear of missing out, regret of missing out. Oh why I I'm up 29 000. if I had come back and even though I shouldn't have, but if I had taken that one last trade I could have gotten myself back up to 50 60.

it was finally a stock that did something crazy and I missed it and so I just have to totally cut that all out. And when I get away from my computer and you know I go outside, go ride my bike. or take June for a ride in the woods. or you know, go play with my son or whatever it is.

Um, it only takes a few minutes for me to you know out of sight out of mind it's just kind of gone. but it's the sitting in close proximity to the trading station that can be dangerous. So setting up your trading station in my opinion, it's a really good idea to set it up in a room or a part of the house that when you're done, you can close the door, walk away, leave it at the, leave it there and not come back. So you know, Although I do sometimes trade on my laptop in the house, um, in the mornings, or even after hour, afternoon or after hours, I try not to do that too much.

Um, you know it's not usually a good idea for me to be sitting and watching charts all afternoon. it's just it's just not a good idea. So anyways, that's the recap for today. I hope you guys enjoy it.
