[Music]<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all right let’s dive into it so the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
purpose of doing this presentation is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
kind of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i had a string of trading in january<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that kind of you know was a product of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
reviewing the previous year and looking<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the way i was trading the things i was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading you know the psychological work<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was doing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and kind of just felt like i wasn’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really paying close enough attention to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what specifically i was doing to define<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my edge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was trading spy i was trading low<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
floats i was trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a bunch of different instruments but not<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
necessarily<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
keying in on what worked best for my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
personality<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what i was noticing about you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
specific aspects of my trading and i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
wasn’t paying close enough attention to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
okay what<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technically and mechanically do i do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
well what fits really well with the way<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i operate how can i build a business<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
around<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a very specific niche and what do i need<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to do to get myself into that niche<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and you know we were doing monthly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
reviews and bella said<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know you you focus a lot on all this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
psychological work which i do and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know but he he said<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know in your review process i’m not<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really hearing you be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
very specific about defining where your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
edge is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in your trading it’s very important<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
don’t get me wrong to work on those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
psychological aspects<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but at the end of the day you could be a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
zen-like trader and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if you’re trading the wrong instruments<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’re going to get into trouble and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s going to be tough to have a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
statistical advantage over the market<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so after he said that to me i really sat<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
down i looked at what<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the other guys in my class were doing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
looked at my own trading where have i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
had<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know object success<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what types of symbols and names do i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
consistently do well<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on sure i might have days where i’ve<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
gave back a little bit of that profit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
doing some other things<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but if i sort all of my you know two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
years worth of trading down to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what do i do extremely well the product<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is what we’re going to discuss here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
today and has led me to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at least how i feel to really start to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
outperform myself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and start to show some really really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
solid consistency that can be grown<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um you know without limits and that’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
kind of the point<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of everything you know it’s great to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
feel like you have a little bit of edge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
slam around make a few hundred bucks and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know be consistent making<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
even a couple thousand bucks but how do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you get to be that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know six plus figure trader seven<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
figure trader<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what is the groundwork that you need to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
lay to do that and how do you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
put yourself in a position to have that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
foresight and it wasn’t doing that but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
after a product of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my journey or review i feel like now i’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
making really legitimate strides to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
setting that baseline up for me to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a very big trader in the future so let’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dive right into it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so one of the most important things that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i want to key in on is how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there’s an important distinction to me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
between reviewing your trading and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
revising your trading think about when<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know maybe in school or throughout<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
your education careers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know you write a paper you finish<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
your paper first draft and you want to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
go over that first draft<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and you want to review it and in review<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you want to make changes and you want to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
make adjustments to make it better<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what i was doing a lot of the time was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
looking over my stats<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
looking over things coming to some type<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of qualitative conclusion where<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know okay i think i did i think i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
did this good i think it did this good<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
okay great review let’s move on instead<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how do i look at this review process<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as an opportunity to really key in on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the things that i need to change<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
eliminate and improve upon<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it sounds wild to think about that but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
even after two plus years of trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the review process never changes in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
terms of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you always are going to have to do it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’re always going to have to get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
better at it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and if you do not you know you’re going<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to keep doing the same things with the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
same results<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the importance of turning a quality<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
review into actional improvements is so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so so huge you need to look at the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
things that you’re doing and saying<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
okay what is the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
pathway that i need to take in order to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really put in some actual work on these<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
things it’s not enough to identify the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
problem<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you really have to work past that and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
start to think about okay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
here’s the problem what does the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
solution even look like for this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
specific problem<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
one way to really go about that is you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
need to approach your stats in your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
journals with an open mind<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
try to take the emotions out of this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
aspect of your trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know work on your psychological<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
mindset you know work on meditation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
whatever you need to do to get your head<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
right<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but when it comes to reviewing your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
training i personally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really need to take the emotions out of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that because sometimes i look back at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the stuff i’m doing i’m like wow<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know i’m such an idiot like what i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
can’t believe i did this i can’t believe<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i did that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and as soon as you start approaching<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
something with too much emotion<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it makes it harder to you know pick<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
yourself up and really attack<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what the information is that’s there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know really need to feel that pain<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of mistakes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in order to get to that point where they<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
can approach things with an open mind<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and start to trim the fat one step that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really really has helped me so far<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is making better use of my support<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
system to set<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
goals that will help me work past<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and really attack that those stats in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
those journals<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in order to come up with some type of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
actionable improvements<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know i work with other guys in my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
class who have been showing really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really solid consistency and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
improving and sizing up and you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
using them as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
someone to lean on and say hey i see the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
performance that you’re doing right now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how can you help me and how can we work<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
together<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to both improve ourselves you know we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are so lucky to be working at a firm<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where collaboration is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know one of the biggest things that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we have the opportunity to do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there’s a lot of people trading from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
home or maybe even listening to this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
video who<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
don’t have that opportunity and need<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some type of community need someone to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know pick them up when they’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
feeling down because listen a lot of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
things happen in trading that can make<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you feel<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really bad and if you have that strong<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
support system around you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
one and if you use it too that is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the first huge step to making some<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

change my trading you know i felt like i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
did a lot of the psychological work but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what i was trading wasn’t specific<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
enough for what i really felt like i had<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
edge in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i knew i lacked that specificity you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know i had signs of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what i determined to be potential<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
success in several different niches<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was trading the broader market names i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was trading the indices<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was trading every ipo that every hot<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ipo that came out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
low float stocks anything with momentum<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
kind of flying all around trying a bunch<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of different things and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know having a lot of success feeling<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like i could do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know a lot of different things and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
then sometimes having strings of trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where i’m like okay nothing i’m doing is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
working right now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and it felt like sometimes that switch<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was happening overnight<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what i wasn’t paying attention to was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what mechanically i was actually good at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and how to notice that and move that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into okay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what specifically do i need to trade to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
balance out okay what am i mechanically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
strong at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was doing a combination of tape trades<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was doing pattern trades you know a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
five minute chart one minute chart<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
higher time frame stuff and i always<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
knew that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was going to rely heavily on top down<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technical analysis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
looking for big you know levels to get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
involved on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but i wasn’t really putting everything<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
together<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in a cognitive way where i could say to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hey here’s my edge i can very clearly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
define it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this is what i’m going to build my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
business on so i needed to narrow my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
focus i needed to be able to say to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
myself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and say to everyone around me what’s my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
training edge what am i great at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technically and mentally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what niche fits best for those strengths<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and how do i put all that together<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to form a really solid business that i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
could come to my risk manager i can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and and come to my team and have a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really really solid reason<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for growing it and getting more size<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
getting access to more risk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because that’s really the end goal you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
get the consistency together by putting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of your business really specifically but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if it’s not something that can grow<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it can end up being kind of a waste of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
time so i kind of developed<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like a four prong approach to what my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
edge was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it took a lot of time to put this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
together mentally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but kind of once it happened it really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
felt like a light bulb had been<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
switched on and i’ll talk a little bit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
about you know the way i traded in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
february<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that led to my best trading month that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
started to make me feel like i was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
setting myself apart<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from previous versions of myself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the first prong is stock selection so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
important and sometimes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s so easy to key in on a name and get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
stuck in it and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know not realize okay this isn’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really even where the opportunity is why<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
am i paying so much attention to this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for me i really really really need to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in high are of all names<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
things with momentum stocks in play<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
those are where the most ranges the most<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volatility is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and the most opportunity to really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
follow volume and use my tape reading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
skills<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
couple that with collaboration working<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
with those like-minded traders i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
previously mentioned<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
who are showing success in that similar<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
niche<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you guys have heard from justin before<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’ve heard from max shark<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of course is always trading the stocks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in play<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some days i would come into my morning<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
meeting and i would be the only one<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
keying in on a specific idea and when<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you put yourself on an island like that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s very hard to you know take a couple<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
losses and then stick with the idea or<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
attack an idea where you really really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
feel like you should be right<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because i did wasn’t relying on people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
who had more experience than me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
who could help me talk through ideas i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was never really hitting those big<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trades<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because i had no one really to talk<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
about it with i was just kind of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
taking whatever i felt like was the most<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
amount of money i was going to make on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then leaving tons on the table<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
taking two bigs of losses trying the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
same idea too many times<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
basically just because especially during<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
quarantine i mean i was basically just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading on my own with no support<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i did that to myself so moving<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
forward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
starting in in february i made a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
decision to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
be as active as i could with the team<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
every idea that was the big idea in our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
morning meetings<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
making sure i wasn’t involved in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
anything with low volume making sure i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
wasn’t involved in anything that didn’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have the risk reward didn’t have the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
opportunity set<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
not trading the overall market indices<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
when they’re choppy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
things like that small little<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
adjustments that would<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
set me on the course to really use my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
analysis skills and my ability to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really quick on the tape and scalp<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
once i got to that point we’re like okay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
here’s what i’m focusing on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i have a group of people who i’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
focusing on this with who can work<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
together with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
me now it does come down to okay how do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
extract money from this niche i knew<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my spy trading was where i had the most<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
edge over the course of my career<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it wasn’t really trading spy though that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was the edge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it was using volume profile combined<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
with technical analysis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to build out really really important<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
action areas or inflection areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where price could potentially be support<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
or resistance<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
instead of thinking okay you know this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is my level right here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
down to the penny i do much better when<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
potential areas sometimes it’s you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
depending on the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
atr of the stock it could be a dollar<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
range it could be a two dollar range it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
could be a 50 cent range<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but if i establish that range once price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
gets there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
now i have an idea of okay i have a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
decision to make at this area<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what do i need to see on the tape to get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
me involved how do i fight for my price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
which is the final prong of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my edge how do i fight for my price how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
do i use those really good tape reading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
skills<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to get those entries and exits as close<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as possible<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i want to make sure i dived into each<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of these prongs a little bit more i know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
summarized them but there are little<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technical things that i want to make<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
very clear<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volatility is key for me i need to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading things with larger ranges<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because for me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
larger ranges mean more opportunity you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know focusing on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
stocks and play themes ipos news<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
momentum leads to high directional<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
possibilities<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what i do really well is spotting turns<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on the tape<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
when i get involved in those turns i do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
well holding size<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as soon as i feel like i just mark the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
turn and there’s going to be the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
potential for directional movement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if i’m trading something that has no<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
momentum that directional movement will<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
get me into trouble because<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the stock’s consolidating it doesn’t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really have that force<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that i need it to have to pull away from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
those entries<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if i key in on stocks that are doing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that now i have the potential to have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really really impressive risk reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
opportunities because of my ability to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
get involved on the tape<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so my collaboration you know like i said<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there are a bunch of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
up and coming top junior traders who<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
always seem to be focused on a very<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
specific niche<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i needed to be where everyone else was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like i said i stuck to lesser traded<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
names high betas market indices<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and oftentimes regardless of the overall<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
vix environment<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i really just wanted to focus on what<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are the names where my collaboration and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
idea generation will flow naturally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
between myself and my peers how do i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
start to work better in a team structure<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how do we all build on each other<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so that we can all grow because there’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
going to come a time where<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know it’s great for us to all be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
making a couple thousand bucks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but these junior guys who i’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
collaborating with are goalless to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the next<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seven figure traders at the firm you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know we are here to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
match shark match swing get up to them<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know they’ve been trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a long time and we want to get to that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
point and we have the drive<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but if we work together now we’re a team<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and now you know we’re working with our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
bigger teams<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
led by those senior traders and the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
collaboration is flowing back and forth<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we have perspective<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
more eyes on the prize you know we have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a better overall support structure<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we have a better idea of what am i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
getting into<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then you know to top everything off<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
depending on how you are socially<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for me camaraderie has always been huge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for my mindset<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ever since i played organized sports<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fraternity in college<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
throughout my academic professional<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
athletic careers being involved in a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
group structure where i can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have that back and forth with my friends<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and with my peers and with my coworkers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
has always been really really important<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for my mindset<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my confidence my enthusiasm and my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
overall passion<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so diving into a little bit about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
identifying those action areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volume profile for me is always the root<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of my top-down technical analysis<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i build out structures from high to low<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know where’s the volume on a daily<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
chart where’s the volume been on an<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hourly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where’s the volume been on the five day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
five minute and then where’s the volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
today<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
using those historical high volume areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to build out those inflection points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then i laser into the tape for those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
specific areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this process can be used to fade trend<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and it also can be used to follow trend<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know i’m looking for price to move<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from high volume areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
through low volume areas looking for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
price discovery<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just overall trading with a flow that’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
following the money that can actually<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
move the market<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as opposed to chart patterns that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
honestly anybody can learn in their<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
sleep<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
further all of this following that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really really big volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is how you can frame where directional<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
momentum might actually come from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the people who move the market are going<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to be putting volume to work<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at certain areas and if you can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
recognize that you can hire<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you can have a higher probability of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
determining where<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
real real momentum can drive from and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
then when it comes down to you know how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
do i read the tape<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know i’ve done videos where i show<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
specifically you know what i’m looking<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know it really all comes down to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
getting a feel for the specific thing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that you’re trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
recognizing patterns you know are there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
sticky areas on the tape you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where it kind of pops up you know wicks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
through a couple little prices<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a couple whole numbers maybe but in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
general just really can’t get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
through where it is you know it feels<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
heavy is a good<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
term that we always use or you know it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
feels like they’re really pressing up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
against this area<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
feels like there might be a breakout<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
soon prices<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
areas that price struggles to accept or<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
reject<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i love to use key psychological levels<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know big whole numbers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
especially in stocks with high retail<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
participantship<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know in gme recently it often will<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hold and or have some type of big<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
movement around<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
very key psychological levels 200 300<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
250 225 220 anything down to those whole<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
numbers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for some reason size has been moving on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
around in those areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and if you’re quick enough and you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
recognize you know what does it look<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like when<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know when they pop something above<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
200 bucks and then re-offer down<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
underneath 200 bucks right away<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know how quick can i be to get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
involved in those technical turning<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and that’s been really important to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
getting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
bigger size better risk reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and working into positions where you can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
actively trade around<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um a core from you know major turning<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
points on the day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so what does all this lead to in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
february<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it led to my best month p l the date i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
had the smallest number of losing days<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in my career<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my win rate improved from 46 percent<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
over the last two years to 52<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on the month my winner to lose a rate<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was over 1.5<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my mindset is drastically improved i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
feel like i have the ability to stay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
much more mentally flexible<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and when you’re in that natural flow<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
state you feel your size grow<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
without really having to force it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if you force size growth you almost<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
always are going to run into trouble<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but if you recognize in the moment high<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk reward opportunities<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and size naturally to that risk reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
number<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s when you start to feel yourself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
flow and really generate solid<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk reward returns again you know i i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
should put a disclaimer in and say<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this current market that we’ve had has a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ton of opportunity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um and some really really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
solid momentum names you know gme cciv<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all really good examples but at the end<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of the day there’s always going to be an<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ebb and flow of opportunity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and there will be months where they’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on paper this amazing opportunity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but if you’re not in the right condition<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to trade those opportunities a really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
solid environment could still lead to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trash p<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
l because it really does come down to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what are you able to do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i wanted to go over one of the best<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trade examples i had last month<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it was in gamestop it was on february<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
15th<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
everybody knows it was extremely in play<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
high arval name<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
momentum all over the place for me after<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
coming to this conclusion it was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of course the thing that i need to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
involved in had the highest opportunity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of any other thing that we’ve seen in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know probably six months<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i wanted to you know have us take a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
look at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what the volume profile structure looked<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like on the day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
leading into the trade opportunity that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i saw<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all these levels marked right on this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
chart are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fully developed from bulges and in the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volume profile so peaks and valleys<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you can see where the volume has been<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
distributed throughout the day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s how i organize where i’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
potentially going to want to be getting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
involved where i’m going to have to make<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trade decisions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what the overall structure is where<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
potential drives of momentum can come<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so i went back and i did you know on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
demand i wanted to go back and see okay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what were things looking like<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i remember what levels i traded at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because you know i could look back at my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
executions which i’ll show on the next<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
slide<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but looking back in review where should<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i have been making these trade decisions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and how do i do you can see early on in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the morning you know opens up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
170s completely collapses to 100<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know huge momentum based move<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
grinds up traps shorts wicks around<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know wix 150 collapses<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trap shorts trap shorts comes up stop<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
run<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trap shorts trap shorts trap shorts and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
then you can see as soon as it breaks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
155<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the volume structure was so so thin here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
off that first<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
three four minutes of the day that as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
soon as it broke that 155 area<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
vacuums through all the way up to 185<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then starts building out this really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really dense<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
collection of volume that ends up being<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the high volume note of the day where<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the most volume has been done right<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
around like 172.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so when looking at this trade if i’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
operating under the thesis that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
okay what is gamestop done so much it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
has trapped both longs and shorts<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know it trades a little bit like an<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
opposite stock whatever you think it’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
going to do in any given moment<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s probably going to do the opposite<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i had seen it do so many times a big<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
momentum based move consolidate the move<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
put in you know a wedge a bull flag<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some type of really tight consolidation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that ended up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trapping retail longs trapping you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
institutional long strapping anybody<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
who’s looking to buy who’s been long the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
whole day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and now looking to press that position<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for breaks to high into the afternoon<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if this move fails the potential for all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
these people<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
who’ve been buying all day to have to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
make serious trade decisions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is going to be what can have the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
potential to drive price lower<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of course i’m operating you know on this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
day with a short bias<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i’ve been short biased gamestop the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
entire time just because<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know it doesn’t make sense for it to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
be whatever price it is and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know i i’ve been following you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the reddit situation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know people buying and holding and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hoping that to squeeze us to a thousand<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’s just important to recognize that at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
any given day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and every any given daily chart run up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the the participants<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are completely different every single<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
time and that can change<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what you might think can happen you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i don’t know whether institutions are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
still so heavily short this that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it has the potential to really run up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
again but i do know that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on this given day if i can get involved<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
against these highs or even against 175<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in a short position<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and it fails and starts pressing up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
against 150 155<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
everyone who brought this breakout on v<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on big volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
potentially is going to have to to puke<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and if they puke<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this can lead to something much bigger<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because i don’t think any of these<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
people who bought today<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are really you know diamond hands and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are going to hold this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so moving into the actual trade we come<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
up we’re sitting here pressing pressing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
pressing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i think i started showing you that chart<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
right around here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then wicks up 180 holds 180 comes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
back down to 170<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then just starts tightening up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really really really really tight<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in that situation you know we just<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
looked at at the volume profile<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
situation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as it tightens up and it gets closer and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
closer to a 50 percent<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
odds trade if it breaks out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all these people are right everyone from<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all day is right shorts are screwed<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it’ll probably go to 200. if this fails<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the psychology of the trade becomes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how hard are these people going to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
able to hold if the situation starts to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
change drastically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i know that this can get wiped out in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
almost a tick<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know just think about it a wedge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
breakdown happens all the time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
obviously it’s going to take out the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
consolidation to the downside that’s a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
little bit intuitive<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
160 psychological level is there i think<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
they’re going to flush that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s all what i was thinking about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
before the trade and i was using those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
volume profile levels knowing that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where i really wanted to get involved<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was i knew there was low volume in here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if it dropped 165 it was probably going<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to vacuum to 155<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i thought it could potentially you know<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
go 150 155<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
get a little bit of a dip get bought up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
then maybe it would have to roll over<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from there 145 to 140<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know first pull in of the break<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
above view app break above the morning<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know late at late morning highs<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
all these levels that i started building<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
out if i established a core from here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i was going to want to trim and trail<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
maybe short pops trim<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
short pops trim short pops and see if i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
could take<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this to clear out this entire range<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because i don’t think these people have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
been buying really have what it takes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to hold this above view app so when we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dive into it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
put on this the short position with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really tight risk reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know at this point as it tightens up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like this i’m risking 175<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s the real stop obviously is at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
least 180<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
probably high of day but like i said if<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you are tight enough<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and good enough to get the entry on the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tape<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know if you get stop 175 maybe try<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
again<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the trade that i was looking for was a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
momentum breakdown<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where if i’m right it won’t wick against<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
me at all i’ll settle in it’ll break 170<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and it’s going to go off to the races<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so as soon as it got really really tight<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i slapped in short<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i said i’m not going to touch this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
until it drops 160.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
it takes out 160. you know looking back<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at those levels i really should have<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
waited for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
150 to 155. that was kind of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the area volume where i felt like it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
would really actually have a reaction<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
didn’t do didn’t take it all the way but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know took the 160 flush<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
took off a decent amount of my size<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
casually sat through here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
collapses again and like i said that 140<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to 145 area<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
anywhere somewhere in this consolidation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
was the next main level to watch<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
comes up you know big vacuum move take<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that profit there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then from then on it’s basically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just how do i trade this range now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shorting pops covering dips and just see<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where they’re willing to take this thing<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
short it short a pop cover momentum<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
short again cover momentum short pops<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tightens up you can see it kind of form<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
like a little bit of a wedge here<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tightens up takes 145 out trimmed a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
little bit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
got short again in this consolidation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
small enough size i was able to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
sit through a little bit of a wick we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
get the great collapse<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then you cover the whole thing into<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
uh morning lows<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so now looking back this has those<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
levels in it this is the area that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of low volume that i had my i had<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
matched up we get the vacuum through<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you can see how price reacts at all<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
those levels that i built<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
out and all those levels that i built<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
out were before<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the price action<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we get the big we get responses here one<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
two three times<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
get response here the first time wipes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that zone out<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
once it wipes the zone out like that you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
know i would have eliminated this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
comes up comes back into these areas<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
around 130<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
reaction comes back up retests this<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
pivot high<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
retests it again re-tested that previous<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
area view app<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
collapses you can see it hit that volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
area and the technical area again<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then fades all the way and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
eventually takes out the low<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so the whole idea here is my edge is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really augmented by using these levels<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and not just taking technical levels<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because think about if you just take<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technical levels<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so you draw the line right here well<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there’s volume<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hidden in this range that’s really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
going to allow you to get tighter<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
entries and exits<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and that’s kind of the basis of the way<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that i trade and and the basis of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
where my edge lies and using the tape to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really really tight risk reward and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
opportunities like this now think about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if you’re risking five points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the entire trade ended up being 70 plus<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on that initial entry and because i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
started with a core and i traded around<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the core<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and i was never out of the money<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
throughout this position<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just trading around that initial however<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
many shares<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of a core and then working the position<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
um<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
making sure to be patient shorting pops<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because i had all these really really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
great technical levels<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from the morning so what do i do going<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
forward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know we just kind of came to the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
conclusion that what the changes that i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
made showed drastic improvement<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
led to my best month how do i continue<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to build on that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and make sure the steps that i’m taking<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
move me forward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and not backwards main key<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
do not deviate from your edge there will<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
be stocks that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
look like they opera offer opportunity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the market might heat up things are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
always going to happen<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that can get you off of your game<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and get you to focus on something that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’re not supposed to be focusing on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i need to stay exactly where i am<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
continue to work on these things<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and grow that business<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in that growth i want to do it naturally<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
let the risk reward opportunity size me<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
up let the volatility size me up<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
don’t all of a sudden come in one day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and be like you know what i’m trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
twice as big today because i i’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
confident i feel like i need to do it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
take each set up for its own worth and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if it looks like it offers really high<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
risk reward<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that’s the ones you size into and it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
will show you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the look think about that previous trade<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for example you know if gamestop is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading in a range of 10 points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i’m not going to all the sudden look to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
try and get 70 points on a breakdown<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the volatility structure and the higher<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
time free momentum will make it clear<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what you should actually be looking for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
as long as you build out those technical<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
skills outside of trading specifically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i need to build and continue to improve<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
upon a routine that complements my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you know am i working out every time i’m<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
supposed to be<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how’s my daily structure you know am i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
eating at the same times am i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in that routine am i doing my review are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
my alarms going off to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
set my temperature checks am i am i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
taking the time to focus on where i am<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at mentally because i’ve spent two plus<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
years doing all that work<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
now that i’m tying that together with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
being in the right stocks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and trading with edge how do i make sure<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
everything i’m doing in my trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
business complements each other<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and then once you come to that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
conclusion for me i’m just able to go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into each day with excitement now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
i don’t wake up thinking oh no am i<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
going to lose today or oh no am i going<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to keep what i made yesterday<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
take the opportunity reward yourself for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the work that you do mentally and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
technically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and be excited to have the opportunity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to do this job<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some days it might feel like it’s really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
really hard<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
but those moments of success are what<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
make it feel really worth it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
