What's up? Everyone are at time for our midday market. Wait a second. We got to make a little change. That's better.

It's a red day. Recap Another red day. Second red day of the week. Well, I'm down 1,300 bucks today and I'm not gonna sweat it too much.

You know, $9,500 yesterday - 1,300 today I Guess it's alright. I'm still green on the week, so you know I can feel good about that. But man, the market was not easy today and I ended up taking a couple of trades that really annoyed me unnecessary losses. So even though $1,300 in the red isn't gonna break me, it's not that big of a deal.

you know, live to trade another day. It's still a little disappointing. The reality is, we've had slow market since last week. Thursday Friday Monday Super slow Yesterday super slow except for like two good opportunities and then today really slow except for again, actually two decent opportunities.

one of them I and the other one I only made a little bit on. So you know when you don't have a lot of opportunities, you really gotta capitalize when it's there. And if you mess up your hotkeys or you're just not quite focused, that one trade that could have saved your day, it's gone. So anyway, it's finishing the day in the red, but we'll break it all down in today's midday market recap.

If you guys have any questions, any comments, leave them below. I'll come back through an answer later today. All right, Enjoy! What's up, everyone? All right? So we're gonna do our midday market recap here and go over the trades from this morning. So finishing today in the red down 13 hundred bucks and I'm you know I'm a little bit frustrated because I was well I actually was never green today I started with a six hundred dollar loss on a WX and then I lost another 180 on I HT had one winner on int had a loser on V-ray a winner on Gbr and was down 500 bucks and then I'm in a meeting and ended up taking a trade on a W X and losing another 600 bucks on it.

So I bought as you can see into this false breakout so I'm just kind of annoyed. Whatever markets just not for me. Really hot today and I missed the nicest move on Gbr because I had to go into this meeting. So you know this is where the life of you know running a company sometimes gets in the way of my trading.

A, you know, missed that opportunity right there. up to a high of the 340 but at the same time made 10,000 are almost $10,000 yesterday 9,500 and losing 1,300 bucks today. Yeah, relatively speaking, not not a big deal, it's a it's a relatively small loss I didn't have any blowout trades, didn't exceed max I Followed all the rules. They're just not a lot of love in the market for Momentum Traders today, so you know, a little bit frustrating, but you know you got to kind of take it with stride and know that you know tomorrow is a new day.

There's always gonna be another trade coming around the corner. So just to look at the trades from this morning, very first trade on the Awx jumped into that right out of the gates. It was on our Gap scanner gapping up 9 percent watching for continuation I Get in at 80 it hits a high of 82 and then it drops. Now on this one I was using my hot key I punched it a little late and my hotkeys always have an offset 5 cents above the ask and I got filled to the top.

So this was sort of a just a bad fill because I realized I was getting a bad Philly only pressed it once and then I stopped out at 61 for I guess a $500 loss or whatever I HT not on the scanners but not on the watchlist pre-market but hit our high. Add a Momentum scanner I see it squeezing up and I'm like alright, this thing looks interesting so I jump in. it squeezes from a dollar 82 up to a high of 207 and then look at this comes all the way down to a dollar 40. That is a false breakout loss 183 bucks.

Next trade was on I and then T again another one that was called out in the chat room. It pops up here I Bought on the 1-minute micro pullback and look what happened. One-minute micro pullback and then this big red candle. ugly.

Really brutal. So at that point I was like alright, this is not gonna be an easy day. Basically three. You know, three bad trades in a row I guess I made 155 but still, that wasn't a good trade.

So now I've got three bad trades in a row. Next one was V-ray I jump into this one at $12 Let's see. I got in. Where was it right? This one's so frustrating and it hit a high of 13 dollars and 21 cents I got in right I got in right here at 12 I Stopped out on the drop to 1178 and then it breaks out and squeezes higher.

Lost 700 bucks. So disappointing and you know that I had the right idea. but I was in a little early and I didn't buy the breakout I'd like to buy breakouts. That means when I get in I expect instant resolution and when it didn't happen I wasn't happy so took the loss on it.

but you know, keeping lost as small as to the name of the game. So I'm still up. Yeah, answer your question there. Tommy I'm still up over $50,000 this month so you know it's still a great month.

This just happens to be a red day so lost on V-ray Gbr pops up on, well, the watchlist here. It was squeezing up as it was consolidating right here at $1 86 I was like okay guys, this is worth watching I'm not sure if it's gonna break out, but definitely keep it on watch and it ends up breaking out really nicely I jump in at 3 for the break of 3 and sell on the move up to 3 24, seven hundred and five dollars I Had a meeting that started at 10:30 promptly which was right here. So I take the I get out of the trade and I'm watching it during the meeting and I'm like I gotta focus on this thing and then you see here it pops up in another 20 cents. so nice move there I missed it I'm bummed I missed it but you know it is what it is and then I see a WX all of a sudden pop up and get halted.

resumed lower squeeze up halted twice in a row I then got in up here for a break over the flat top of a 427 and it rejected and dropped down. So I lost another 600 or 700 bucks on it so just kind of annoyed. You know again this is a stock that made a big move today but was read out of the gates then came screaming out here and I ended up just trying to ride continuation and getting stopped out. So it is what it is for me, not the easiest day of trading.

Some days you know are really hot and we can see great opportunities. Other days are a little cold, a little slower, and you know it's just about trying to, you know, preserve your capital as much as you can. Capital Preservation I mean it really is a big part of what we do. There will be days where this is just not a day to be aggressive.

you know I Tuesdays Usually or when the Deadliest Catch is on this week is Shark Week So deadly Sketches was not on this week. But you know one of the things that you'll see them do is they they're gonna be more aggressive about setting tons of pots and using lots of bait. When the fishing is strong, they're going to be more likely to work. You know, 24 hour 36 hour long shifts when the fishing is hot.

But remember, there's a cost of pushing that hard. There's a cost on the crew, a cost to the bay, that cost on the engine, a cost on the fuel, and you're not gonna do that When the markets not strong. You're not gonna do that when fishing is cold, right? There's no value in it. And so with trade and you kind of have to think the same way, it's like, alright, you know what, Today's a day, the markets not that hot.

It's better for me to preserve my capital, not use up commissions, not churn shares, not expose myself to an unnecessary you know, risk Because anytime those guys are out on the deck, there's risk that someone could get hurt. So you're gonna risk someone getting hurt when the fishing is is horrible. No, don't push them that hard. You push them that hard when the reward is worth the risk.

So you know that's what we're doing every day. It's risk analysis and I'm just happy that you know even though it's a red day and I'll mark it on my calendar here. it's not a blowout. you know this month knock on wood because we still have four days left in the month.

But this month I haven't had blowout losers. Yeah, the biggest biggest red day was $3,600 which since that's all right, yeah, that's very funny. I'm gonna go ahead and do you a favor and send you on your way. Let's see.

I'm just gonna send that over to our team. so let's say to do to support Boom. All right, Sorry buddy. So yeah.

anyways, I'm really happy to haven't had any big blowout days. You know it's just been, you know, a couple red days but nothing that serious and then some really good green days. So life is good and you know we're gonna keep it going first thing tomorrow morning 9:00 9:15 We'll see if we can find some good opportunities. Awx, you know it was one of the bigger movers today, but it wasn't totally expected.

it. kind of. you know, was a little bit choppy at the at the open and then it really opened up. So I'm hoping tomorrow we see something that you know is a little bit a little bit stronger right out of the gates and you know gives us a quick opportunity.

Usually Wednesdays are pretty good for me so this is kind of surprising to have a great a red day on a Wednesday just rating say my calendar here it's 135th day of the year but you know I guess it's just you know the way it is today, just a little bit of a slower day really. I would say it's kind of been slow for the last week. Thursday was slow Friday was slow Monday was slow yesterday I was slow except for one trade. one good trade and then you know today is slow again.

So maybe we are in a little bit of a slow patch and the best thing to do is just try to keep the risk minimal. I'm gonna keep my share size maxed at 7,500 shares for right now. So under trading under warnings I Go! You see 7,500 is the max size so keeping the limit now I can do two things I can warn that or I can do not allow at I leave it at war nap but that just seems a little bit safer. Oh I had a question from someone on YouTube about how I get this to look different when I'm highlighted on it so you'll notice that the color is brighter green when I'm highlighted on my level too.

So if you're in, if you're in Lightspeed you can go to click on the little widget right here. this little Settings button. you can click on that and you can go into design and then you can change level to design and font colors. I You know, right down to the way I like the font to look I mean I really I want I have a very specific way that I like this to look.

it's gotta be Arial it's got to be bold. It's gotta be 12-point You know I mean just think you get used to what you're used to imagine if I start you know reading level 2 like this. you know I mean we do a little kind of like you know, old-time America style I mean you get used to what you're used to. so if it's what you like, it's fine.

but you can totally customize this to look. You know whatever makes sense for you. So I'm just gonna go back in here I just I guess I won't save these changes but I leave it at Arial I like it it bold I like to be able to see what I'm looking and then just leave it at that for now and then. Unactive: you can change the color.

So here if I wanted to, I could make the first row be you know, purple and then that makes it even more obvious which one is active right? Um, this is the one I'm looking at. so we'll go back in here to design level two. I'm gonna change this font again up to Arial There we go. So yeah, you do that and it becomes very clear which one you know your highlighted on right see as I Move to the highlight that that prevents you from having an accident Because here's the thing.

this is the one that the hotkeys are gonna work on if you want. If you're wanting to buy this, you need to be selected on this one. otherwise it doesn't work all right. So yes, it's it's very common that went that the sell button is also the short button.

so if you press sell here and you don't have a position, you'll go short. So that's that's typical. Some platforms use a Buy button and a sell button and then a short button and a cover button. but to me that is just kind of silly.

It's really not necessary I don't know why why you'd really want that. Alright, it's that look Yeah, that looks about right. This purple color is actually like horrible for reading. So you got a test out which colors work best.

anyways. I'm not gonna save this I'm just gonna say nope, don't save those changes and it'll be back the way it was this morning tomorrow morning. Alright, so um, any other questions that you guys had from the last couple days I don't know if there's any others I missed on YouTube Let me just take a peek. Someone asked how is gonna find my trade ideas this morning.

As always, it's using the Gap scanner right here or switching to the Hiya Day Momo scanner. Those are the two that I'm watching the most closely really watching them them all day long. So how do I move so quickly from trade ideas to Lightspeed So that's a good question. Now this is the process for me.

When I see a stock hit the scanner, the first thing I do is I type the symbol here. I HT I press enter and while it's loading, one second two seconds takes like two seconds, sometimes three seconds to load. while it's loading, my mouse is coming down here to Lightspeed to type in the symbol a second time. So I you got to be fast on the keys, right? These are this right here: I work when I'm not when I'm not trading I'm wearing gloves I'm wearing padded gloves because God forbid anything happens to these moneymakers I'm in trouble So I just quickly switched from East signal down to Lightspeed I type in the order.

you know the symbol really quick. I HT and then I'm looking at the level two I look back at the chart. Chart looks good. Level two looks good I'm seeing buying and boom boom boom I'll jump into it so that's for me my process.

I Don't click anything up here I just look at the symbol so you know I hear it'll do the next one. So I hear Boeing oaw X boom aw X boom Okay, I'm looking at it looking at the chart. I might mouse over to see oh what's hi a day it's 43. But here's the cool thing.

even though my mouse is up here I have my mouse over east signal but this is still the one that's in focus. So if I press shift 1 right now I'm gonna buy so I can go over here and I can quickly see oh this is high a day and then I can start pressing shift one shift, one shift, one with my hotkeys so it's very quick. You know it's muscle memory. once you get it down, it's just.

you know it's you, just know what you're doing so that's pretty much what it is. Let's see. All right? So yeah, I guess that's about it for today and we'll be back at it first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully we see some good opportunities and again, any guys that did have questions feel free to put them down below on YouTube or Facebook and I'll come back and answer them later on.

All right. I'll see you guys all first thing tomorrow if you're still watching. You must have really enjoyed that video. So why not bribe and get email alerts anytime? I upload new content.
