 What's going on everybody? This is Giovanni from spy options trading today is July 16th I placed my first of my very very first trade of the year today Halfway through the month Barely starting to trade Not a good thing not a good thing. I've been extremely busy With work. I was really really busy about two weeks ago last week I had an opportunity to watch the markets But then sort of life hit me and I was busy with just my own personal life And I just I haven't had a really good solid opportunity to trade and even though I placed a trade today I didn't really have a Great opportunity to trade today Let's talk about my trade I'll show it to you here in just a few minutes even though it was a winning trade The execution was terrible in my opinion and I feel like I'm not mastering my craft today's trades Specifically I traded what I feel is pure luck and that's not where I want to be I don't want to be trading off of pure luck and I want to be trading more, you know Strategy I make up a plan. I plan my strategy And I follow through that plan and strategy And that's the only way that I'm gonna get better as a day trader And not to mention I just I have a lot going on with my day job even though it's a part-time job They had me working full-time over the holidays And I'm just now getting around to being my normal self But more so I'm I'm trying to be a better father as well, you know to my son So that's taking up a lot of my time And it just it is what it is and I apologize guys for all my viewers my subscribers That I just haven't been very active in my channel. I haven't been trading at all But let me go ahead and show you today's trade I traded it off the five-minute charts I got this signal here at open as as you guys know I don't like trading the first five-minute candlestick, but Mainly I had to go take my son to school I as soon as I got here flipped on my monitors open up my trading account I saw an opportunity and You know what it? I'll be very honest and same not necessarily. Did I see the opportunity there? I was itching for a trade and I bought the 261 50 calls that expire in two days. I bought them at $1 37 about two of them So the first one at $1 47. I again, I just I get so confused I forget that That it sets a default of Of a limit order, but anyways, I was trying to do a market order It actually sold me out at $1 47. Thank goodness, and then I sold the second one at $1 15 And I bought them at 746 my time. So about 16 minutes after the opening bell Let's just take a quick look here 46 so right here at the start of this candle It was trading around right here where it closed Luckily, it just jumped up like crazy and I ended up selling not even two minutes afterwards Wow, I mean gosh 40 seconds after I bought so I sold the first one and then two minutes after I bought I sold the second one. I was originally planning on holding one for the long haul quote-unquote hoping to Just get Hoping that it would continue to run But you know overall, yes, I am happy With the fact that I made money, you know 20 something bikes after commissions. It's nothing. I'm just trying to hone down on my Trading skills, but anyways, I'm just disappointed in that I got lucky guys like there's no substitution for the truth I got lucky. I bought in mainly just because I was itching to get into a trade luckily It did go in my direction and you know, I could have held through it Gotten down back to even little slightly in the red and then just sold again But I I got to get better. I got to get better guys That's the main reason why I traded today is just because I was itching for trade Not a good situation there So so that was my trade for the day guys and the main reason why I didn't record it is literally as soon as I got home I Flipped on my monitors. I Open up my my trading account. I saw That hey, maybe I can place a trade here without even thinking about it I placed that trade and it went by really quick. So I apologize that I didn't record it live But yeah, I I'm so sorry guys that that I just haven't been trading making videos anything of that I apologize greatly.
