What's up everyone? Alright, so here we are: finishing the week. It's been a little bit of a choppy week, but another Green Day up $300 So for me, that means I'm up around $2,000 this week. Which for those you've been following me for a while, you know that that is not a very big week. $2,000 is actually what? I averaged on a decent day, but we're in a little bit of a slow market, so I'm taking those base hits, putting them in my pocket and it's better to close the week in the green than in the red.

So that's what it's about right now just being consistent, taking a little bit of profit, and then getting out of the market. Today I was up. actually $1700 gave some back, gave some back, and so at this point I'm like no walking away. Green I'm not giving back any more Anyways, we'll break down all of today's trades in today's midday margaery cap.

What's up everyone? All right? So we're gonna break down the trades from this morning. Finishing the week with another Green Day which is awesome. I'm happy with that, but you know this has been a it's been a choppy week and the last four weeks have been pretty choppy actually. So I'm only up about $2,000 this week, lost 480 on Monday I made 800 on Tuesday, 960 on Wednesday 636 on Thursday and now 305 today.

So $2,000 profit plus 5500 from last week. That's good and it's about $7,500 of profit. But you guys know, two weeks ago today I had a big red day. So the last two weeks has been kind of digging myself out of the hole and unfortunately we're just not in a market where I can get or where I'm seeing really big winners.

It's it's just you know these these small gains and so that makes digging yourself out of a hole you know that much harder because it's gonna take that much longer. But the reality is I've been here, you know, a thousand times before. it's It's nothing unfamiliar to be in the red and have to work my way back out of it. so really not that stressed about that.

I Think the the hard thing is that it just starts to become a little taxing when you have, you know, two weeks or three weeks or whatever. it is where the markets just kind of sideways where you're not seeing really good follow-through in the type of stocks that she likes. Trade now I had someone ask me on YouTube yesterday he said, you know it seems like you're really stubborn with following your strategy and on a day like today, maybe I would have done better if I had traded outside my strategy a stock like Dbx, you know Dropbox made a big move. why don't I try to trade that or yesterday a stock like Etsy why don't I try to day trade that and on the one hand, yes that's true.

these are definitely opportunities. However, the reason that I'm stubborn with just trading my strategy is cuz I'm up almost $300,000 this year and it's June 15th trading. just my strategy and I found that when I venture outside of my strategy, that's when I start to make mistakes and so you know it's made me try to keep rules where I know what I trade and don't try anything else and you know I sort of have my blinders on in that way if it's above 20 bucks, I'm not going to trade it and it doesn't mean that there's not opportunities there. and it doesn't mean that I couldn't try to build a strategy around it, but we have traders in the community who trade those higher priced stocks.

That's what Mike does every single day. My focus is trading the lower price stocks because these are the type of stocks that you trade when you're an account builder. So you know when you think about the profile we were talking about this the other day, you know what? Pro What like profile the trader What type of trader are you? I am a you know, aggressive account builder type of trader that's willing to take some high risk trades for some big reward right now. Then you've got Mike who's more of a sniper trader.

He's very focused on a quality setups with the potential to make big moves and he prefers to trade the higher price stocks because for him he feels like they're a little bit more predictable. You know when you do catch a solid move on the 5-minute time frame of a stock like Etsy you're looking at four or five, six dollars a share. Now for me, being this, you know, account growth type of strength type of trader. I'm going for quick entry, quick exit I Want to just capture a quick profit and get out of the market, but with Mike's approaches a little bit different.

So and then of course you've got Jeff's approach of trading options Where that's one of those things where a good options trade is going to go up a hundred percent and a bad one might go down 30% So you're looking at some big ranges there and you're not going to get those profits usually intraday. A lot of times they're over the course of three or four days, so you know within Warrior Training We've got multiple trader profiles, so if you're the type of trader that does want to venture into higher priced stocks, you can log in and you know, tune into Mike If your account growth focused and you're trying to take $1,000 and turn it into 10,000 in a month, then you're going to need to trade my strategy because you're not gonna be able to afford to trade Etsy and Dbx and those expensive ones. You don't have the capital to do it, so you know that's kind of the approach for me. We all sort of try to be really like masters at what we're doing.

Masters at our own strategy. Yeah, occasionally I'll venture into something Mike likes to tray and maybe occasionally he'll venture into something that I might like to trade. but you generally find that you're good at what you're good at and I'll say it again. You know, you know when you go see a concert you don't see.

you know? Jerry Garcia To say you know what? I'm not gonna play a guitar good, You know today I'm gonna go play the saxophone. You know it's like excuse me I mean you know he could have done that, but you know for the most part it's like I'm kind of expected to play this role. This is what I do. and it doesn't mean that he couldn't probably do something on the drums or the piano.

that sounds nice. But and it doesn't mean I couldn't probably make a little bit of money on Etsy or Dbx. but you know I've got my area that's really kind of mine. I own a really strong there and that's where I excel.

so you know that's just kind of. you know, two cents on that. And so any of you guys watching on Facebook or on YouTube I love for you guys to put the comments down because you know they they're get me thinking and I'll probably answer them in one way or another, either answering them right away in the comments section or coming back and answering them and a midday recap. You know, today or later, you know, next week or something like that.

So I read all those comments and I love seeing them, so feel free to throw them down there If you like the videos, give us a thumbs up. You want to learn more about trading, subscribe and you'll be getting these videos every time we upload them. So anyways, today's a day where I'm making 300 bucks. This is not a home run.

I Mean you know, a month ago, in May I had two days where I made fifty eight thousand dollars. So did I make fifty eight thousand Eight hundred, or fifty Eight thousand Five hundred? Who cares? It was fifty eight thousand. So you know, three hundred dollars here there. It's like it doesn't mean a lot when you've had big days like that when you're up almost three hundred thousand dollars in six months of trading.

But this is a market where it's about base hits and those base hits do add up. So I'm up fifty five hundred last week, two thousand. This week, that's seventy five hundred dollars and I'm happy with that. However, the last four weeks for me have certainly been very choppy.

Four weeks ago I had a break-even week I had a seven thousand dollar winner and then I have seven thousand dollar loser and just a little bit of chopping I think I was up. Maybe actually about a thousand bucks, but to me at that point, that was basically a break-even week. and then three weeks ago I lost about seven or no I lost about nineteen eighteen thousand dollars in one week being really, really aggressive as the market was starting to turn. So I got caught at the very top of the wave and you know, I got knocked down.

and that was certainly a little bit disappointing because that that was one of the biggest losses that I've had this year. But the reality is I've had red streaks where over the course of three weeks I've slowly lost fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. So this time it wasn't over the course of three weeks, it was just basically in the course of two days. and since then I've been bouncing back up.

However, I've been bouncing up slowly last week. fifty five hundred dollars. this week, two thousand dollars. So I'm still red versus the last roughly four weeks of trading.

And you know when we look back at the P&L you're gonna see this equity curve where it's like straight up and then a little bit of pull back, a little bit of sideways and right now we're kind of curling back up, but a little bit more slowly. Now, one of the things that I'm gonna emphasize is that if you're a small account trader and you're trying to build your account, you're not gonna be taking the same level of risk that I was taking when I took those big losses. The reason that I'm able to take that much risk is because of how much I'm already up on the year. and you know if you wrist 16,000 and you make 32,000 then you realize, okay, it's worth taking those trades when you're right 70 percent of the time.

And that's why a month ago, you know I had those two back-to-back thirty thousand dollar days and you know was up Fifty eight thousand dollars that week. That will happen. But you don't make fifty eight thousand in two days without taking risk and sometimes you get on the wrong side of that risk and you will lose money. So that's part of trade.

We all know that. but it's just a matter of being able to adjust. And so what I've had to do in the last two weeks especially is adjust to a little bit of a slower market. and I wasn't expecting that the market would slow down as much as it has I You know? certainly I was hoping that maybe it would be a week of slowness and then it would bounce right back, but this has been a little bit of, you know, kind of choppiness.

So the good news is that it's giving me an opportunity to exercise discipline and I'm I'm really doing well with that. That makes me feel good I'm not, you know, throwing money at the market I'm keeping my share size restricted I'm keeping it small today I trade was slightly larger share size because we had CL PS gapping up and I thought this was potentially gonna be a really nice trade and then you can see I made a thousand bucks on it right here. So I made money on it but it wasn't as clean as I hoped it would be. So I got in this anticipating a break.

First five-minute candle to make a new high and so I got in as soon as the bell rang. I was in this at 85 and 94. I mean I jumped right in thinking that it would most likely pop up and retest pre market highs which was 1050. It did.

However, it did it in a kind of choppy way. It popped up to a high of 10 20 and then it dropped down to 980 and I got out. Then it goes up to 11 78. so kind of disappointing there I made on my first trade 1,700 bucks and on the second trade I got in for the first one minute cam to make a new high which is right here and I lost 700 bucks as it dropped down.

so I ended up stopping out kind of down here near support which wasn't great, but you know you see it end up going to the highs and then coming right back down. This is choppiness. It's chopped. It's chopped.

It's chopped. So anyways thousand dollars total profit on two trades on CLP s one winner, one loser I then jumped right into a WX this one was hitting our scanners I saw it and I was like okay, it's you know, going through my checklist it's hit at the scanners multiple times. it's like 10 times on a scanner. its volume spiking up here I'm gonna jump in this and so I jumped in it at 3.

what was it at 3, 9 and 3 17 I jumped in and I was like this thing looks great. it pops up to a high of 340 and I'm up. you know, 30 cents and a minute later it drops all the way back down here to a low of 280. So I go from being up 20 cents to down 20 cents and they ended up getting out right around here just under about down about 8 12 cents per share or something like that.

75 shares and I lost a thousand bucks so that was disappointing. I was down closer to 2,000 on it and was able to get out for a smaller loss. But look at this thing. it's now red on the day.

So this is what's really disappointing is that you're seeing setups that in a stronger market would take off and would really work and this market is just not happening. So this one ended up now being red on the day. the BL XL this is another stock to hit the scanners I decided not to jump on it. It popped up and came right back down.

Didn't hold up Jr. J and J R sh another one hit the scanners now he's red versus when it hit the scanners didn't hold up Am Bo I jumped in this off the scanners at 583 it taps a high of 618 I made 360 bucks on it and then next thing you know it's back down here at 480. So this is the Chop that we're seeing. We're not seeing stocks really hold up incredibly well TP IV This one has been doing better I hesitated on it a little bit and at this point I just feel like the fact that I'm up only $300 on the day coming into 11 tells me that this isn't my day.

so maybe I'll miss an opportunity on this. But the reality is, you have to know when to be aggressive and when to scale back. and if you have a day where you're up only $300 in the first hour, that's a day to scale back. This is not a day to be aggressive and even if I end up seeing something squeeze, it's like, well I just don't have the cushion to take the risk on it I would rather close the day up 300, then down 300.

And by doing that for the last four days, five days or even four doing that for the last two weeks, I've been able to make $7,500 profit. So you know Green is good. These are small wins. They're not homerun trades, but it's kind of just me treading water waiting for the market to pick back up and you never know when it'll happen and it could be a surprise all of a sudden.

today. see LPS could have gone to $40 you know it didn't, but it, but it could've and TP IV You know, you never know. I mean this could have taken off and been in $20 by now. So HJ Li this is another one that was on the scanners.

Look at this, it pops up and now it's red on the day. so we're in a market. It's a little bit tricky for sure. You got to focus on base hits when you're up 10 cents.

Take the profit. you know, be disciplined about that. That's what's been working really well for me is being really aggressive about taking profit quickly. So yeah, at this point, that's the game plan and I'll be back at it first thing Monday morning.

Looking for a couple stocks to trade and hopefully we can get a couple base hits and start next week off with a green day. All right. So I Hope you guys all have a really great weekend and you get some rest for the father's out there. Enjoy your Father's Day I'm sure that'll be a lot of fun and yeah, you know those of you that are in the classes.
