\n
\n

\n
\n
20. and so big picture in catalyst<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so company overview urban one<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
incorporated is a silver spring<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
maryland-based american media<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
conglomerate<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
founded in 1980 by kathy hughes the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
company primarily operates media<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
properties targeting african americans<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\n
\n

\n
so for this trade strategy these halt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trades<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
heavily rely on the tape i need to see<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
elevated volume to get long<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and decreasing volume to exit i need to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
be watching similar names u1 ek<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
byfc and carve i need to understand how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to manage risk with these halts<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then also watching the bigger and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
more experienced traders give me ideas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on how to manage this trade correctly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so for intraday fundamentals currently<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you want to sharing at four dollars and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
80 cents<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
has atr of 0.91 an oddball of 7.8<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
an average daily volume of 1.75 million<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
institutional ownership of 8 percent<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
market cap of 9.5 million for the short<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
float i couldn’t find that data<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um but for the shares outstanding it was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
1.58 million and a wide change of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
yesterday of 40 percent<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um so for my support i’m gonna be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
watching four eight four six<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for resistance gonna be um five five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seven<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
six six point eight seven and seven five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my entry ideas i’m currently waiting for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
u1 to unhaltz<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
when it unhaults i want to see bids<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
coming in above five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for a range break there could be more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
halts so i’ll be careful my risk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
when they resume then for my exit ideas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and risk management<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my exit and risk management will be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
based on the tape and resistance levels<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so here are the long-term technicals<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that i’m going to be looking at as you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all can see we’ve been in a super tight<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
consolidation for over a month now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and that that 5 6 is the top<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
consolidation range since august 27<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
6 6 is a significant level from initial<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
up move and the failure to reclaim<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
momentum<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
again you guys can see and then seven is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a technical<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
higher time frame technical analysis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
level and a psychological number<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um so definitely watching this and then<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
10 is the previous bottom of this range<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so here’s a high ti a higher time frame<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
consolidation hourly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so you guys can see we’ve been kind of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
retracing off this 470 to 5<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
level and every time we pop we just fade<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so it’s something to keep an account<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for this stock and here are also higher<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
time frame hourly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so the seven dollar level you guys have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seen been touched before but we usually<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fail<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
even with these little run-ups here just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
higher time frame levels as well<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so what i’ll be watching now is this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

this video you’re going to learn more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in a couple of hours from this trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
workshop than from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
years of online education so for my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trade management<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what i want to see is after we in halt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at this four nine<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
level i’m watching the tape to enter<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into two tiers of risk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risking that four nine again that five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dollar range is that hourly range we’ve<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seen<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
over this over the month so my exiting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
targets would be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the unholtz and the six dollar ta<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technical level unless we continue to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
see buying<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so again i’m just entering in my two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tiers of risk we ended up halting at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
four um now i’m in this position where i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
want to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
decide you know once we unhold do i take<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some risk off<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and so i decided to take you know my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
first tear off<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i’m watching the tape to see that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
continuation see that buying volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
now enter uh end up entering in again<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into the next hall<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and that was my second okay so let’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
break this down<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just a touch more specifically can you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
go back to your daily chart<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how important on a scale of one to ten<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
would it be if it got above five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
critical i think that tells me that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there could be higher continuation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um and this has also been a large you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know it’s been over a month we’ve been<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in this consolidation so this is kind of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that change in character<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and the last time we did see that we had<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volume up into this level so this gives<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
me really good risk to reward and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
somewhere where i can really put on that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk and that’s why i was putting on two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tiers of risk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
right when that candle unhalted and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seeing that price above five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all right good so this isn’t just a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technical level this is a super<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
important technical level<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
let’s bounce ahead to the halt so what<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
halt is that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
first halt second half third half fourth<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
halt this is the first halt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so or the second half yeah this is the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
first after we unhaul it the first time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and so now i’m watching not five so that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
matters right so it matters whether or<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
not it’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
after the first halt or after the second<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
halt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
or after the third halt the earlier the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
halts the better<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s going to be for you right exactly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
exactly okay good now let’s flip back to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
when you’re comparing other stocks in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the sector<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so how are they doing are they really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
running are they snoozing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how would you describe their price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
action oh they’re running<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
uh all of them and so once i see you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know u1 is in this halt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i want to be going through byfc carb and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you want to k to see if we do have that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
continuation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
especially with u1 ek and we are we are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seeing that that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that volume coming in which is gives me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
confidence to the upside<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
okay good so we’ve got all three of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
those things that we’re highlighting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for a reason that makes this trade more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
specific that gets you thinking more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
specifically that this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is super important level this is the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
first after the first halt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and the other stocks are truly running<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
they’re not just ticking up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all right back to your trades awesome so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
yeah once we break above that five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
level again that monthly consolidation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that we’ve seen that gives me a higher<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
conviction<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but again it’s all about watching the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tapes i want to see those bids really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
come in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and we do so entering my two tiers of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk now when you unhalt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you have to be careful and so you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s okay to take some risk off the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
table but i should have been more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
mindful you know we’re midway through a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
range and that next level should have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
been the 6.620 level<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so once i take off that risk and i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really see that continuation that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
elevated volume coming in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i end up putting it back on that other<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tier and so now i’m thinking okay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we’ve been very overextended from this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
v-wap<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i want to see if we do continue so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
after we unhaul for the fourth time and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
go parabolic<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my logic has changed since stock is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
probably overextended<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
going into that seven dollar technical<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
level and it’s about three atr’s from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the news release<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i exit my position um but add it back<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
or<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i exit my position after we go open<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the seven super light volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we come down and then you see the flush<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s the change of character on the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tape<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so now we flush we halt down and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
immediately<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um once we halt yeah we go down to five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
four but immediately re-bid<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and sound so now i’m watching the tape i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
want to see that 5<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
8 level hold and when we do i enter back<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and we do flash up to 6 2 and 6 3 but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
again it’s on light volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i’m not really seeing that super<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
continuation just yet<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um but also we’re coming in to 4 p.m so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i want to be careful about how this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trades<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and that’s basically the the more meat<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of the move but i’m going to show you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how i made a mistake in this stock<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so my for my trade management and t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
training mistake<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so after you won on halts um i ended up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
getting long right before<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i should have been more mindful of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this because you know we’re not allowed<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to trade after 4 p.m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um but when i was talking to another you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know a trader who’s above a class above<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
he said that he believed it was going to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
open at uh 3 58<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it ended up not but i was talking<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
through the trade kind of with him and a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
couple of the other guys in our chat<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um and it did end up unhalting and i was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
able<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to get out right after hours um for a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
decent gain<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but you know i ended up breaking those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
rules um and so that’s something that i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have to take accountability of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
yeah i didn’t make money but you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
coming to a firm you have to be strict<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
with those rules<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and let’s just say it did open up where<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i couldn’t get out and i had to get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
help from you know my floor manager that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
could have been something that i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
regretted<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but so once after we on halt we go down<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
exactly into v-walk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and so once this news happens and we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have this very strong move<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know i go and i talk to armand who’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
another junior trader who’s a class<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
above me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and we talk through this like thinking<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this could really be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
an after hour mover and i think him and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a lot of the guys at our firm really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
killed this trade after hours<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so just for the tape and just to say you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know how critical it was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so once i see you one and halt at that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
four nine<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that 490 level which is above the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
monthly range i enter into those two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tiers risk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we immediately see the tape running to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
5’4 with high volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on the second on halt we see we open up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at 560 and take some risk off<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you want to u1 immediately runs into 620<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
which leaves me led me to add back onto<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that second tier seeing that volume and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seeing that continuation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at this point we go into the fourth hall<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and we’ve done three atr’s since the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
news broke<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
when the stock resumes u1 heads back<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into seven dollars<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that technical level but it’s on low<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volume and that’s when we see the take<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
switch and we see that flush and so i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
exit my uh positions at six nine and six<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fifty and after the flush from seven you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
wanna immediately re-bids and stabilizes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at that 580 level<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and so that gave me a good risk to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
reward you know shorts covered<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and now we’re we’re stabilizing and so i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
enter back on that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but i exit on the low volume spike to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
630.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so ty is there something about the float<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in this stock<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
or the short interest in this stock<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that you’re also taking into account as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
potentially driving the stock higher yes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so there’s only 1.5<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
million shares and so that’s a low float<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s actually<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
pretty close to a micro float and so if<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it can be very volatile and that’s why i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
chose u1<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
over byfc and carve and une k i thought<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it was going to give me more volatility<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to the upside and also knowing that you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shorts could get squeezed in this now i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
couldn’t find the short interest<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um on this but knowing from our firm we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have trade this the short<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
side before as well um and just seeing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how it traded with that volume gave me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
confidence to take these long positions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
yeah okay because because you really do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
want to have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
behind this idea<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some some reasoning some thesis as to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
why this thing’s gonna<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
run run super power it’s gonna be super<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
parabolic<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s what makes this that’s what makes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this worth taking a shot at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is that it can get super parabolic<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
yes sir i definitely think with the news<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and seeing how that same<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
almost the same sector was trading um<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
together with that news it gave me even<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
more confidence<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i think it was pretty big news<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
though i think you know the first bank<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of america to do this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in two billion dollars you know that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
could really impact the stock especially<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know with only 1.5 million shares<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know it could give us great<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volatility<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
good that’s all going into it low float<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
big technical level<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
good news catalyst other guys in the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
sector are running<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
first halt<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s that’s that’s all helping a lot<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so just for the trade view i think i did<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a decent job<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of scalping and manage my risk on this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trade<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
sticking with the trade instead of just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
one scout helped me secure over two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
times the profits<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shorter term time frame levels and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
scaling in and out accordingly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
help me give me good risk to reward but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
one of the bigger things is watching<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know our eight figure traders<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
swaying and sharp catch both sides of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the trade<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
gave me an understanding of how the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
bigger and more extreme uh experienced<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
traders think<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um and just i should have put a limit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
orders closer out to seven<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just to really fight for that price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
instead of having to scale up manually<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s something i’m going to really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
work on um and also this trade<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
definitely could have been turned into a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
swing trade after hours<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i think it gave me a lot more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
confidence talking with armand and a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
couple of the other guys<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that really killed it after hours and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seeing how cleanly it uh worked off vwop<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then finally just trade these names<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
bigger you know this is something where<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know if you have good risk to reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and you’re not risking you know more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
than you can make<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know those can set up for great<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trades yeah you’re doing a lot of things<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
right here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i want to highlight some of them for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some of the younger guys that are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
listening so juan<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
terrific job talking to other guys in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the middle of the straight terrific job<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
reaching out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in the chat with some of the other guys<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
getting their feedback<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seeing what they’re doing really good<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
job also<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
using our technology to see what some of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the as you said eight figure traders<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this year are doing in this particular<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
name<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really really terrific job and don’t see<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
people do this very often but great job<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
comparing how this stock is doing with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
other stocks in the sector to give<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
yourself a feel for how much this can go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s really well done i would<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
encourage you to keep doing more of that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
solid job understanding technically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where this stock if it gets above<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
can really run just based on technicals<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then i think you mentioned<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you want to trade this bigger which is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fine but you do a really good job<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of being a natural risk taker here so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there’s going to be people that aren’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
going to want to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
take this trade because they’re not<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
comfortable with the risk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but what i’m seeing from you here is you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are a natural risk taker you’re willing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to take<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk as long as the reward is there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and you’re not just focusing on the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
overall risk but you’re comparing it to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so you’re taking risk appropriate when<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there’s a lot of reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a lot of traders can’t do that they just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
only are there for reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if there’s very very small risk and part<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what you see with really really great<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
traders particularly when they get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to eight figures is they look at it as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk and reward they don’t just look at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk and they’re willing to push the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
buttons<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
