 for once in our lives. So, Margaret's gonna make an attempt to rally today with Apple. Let's not really worry about that. HBI is my top watch this morning, so that's what I'm gonna focus on. There was a bunch of other gaps you could do. I rated them. Actually, I didn't rate A-cam, but that would be good enough to watch too. I'm just gonna focus on the one that I like. Excuse me. Options trades. You can enter, unless you're talking about the market and the pre-market trend trader. We can talk about options when we're done here, but you can't get in anything before the market opens. That's a stock. Now, you could put your order out if you want. And I told everybody I sent a trade out today, so back to sitting out very early. So, if you wanna do the day trade here and you don't wanna miss the option, put an order out, but you're estimating what you think it's gonna be. Good morning. I don't know if your name is Eli or Ellie. I realized that actually when I was emailing you. Is it Eli or Ellie? E-L-I trader. And for those of you that are on the options list, I would definitely do that trade today. So, let's just focus on HBI. I know all the numbers here. E-L-A, E-L-I. All right, good luck, everyone. Let's stay focused. There's a lot to look at today. For some reason, this doesn't set up. We'll go to something else, but I really, really like it. Breaking news, we'll have to look at that later. Little bit of the spread. See if this tightens up at all. All right, HBI. We're gonna have to give this a cushion. I don't have any numbers yet, but I think it's just gonna be spready. So, let's just look at this here, here. Okay, just wait. Actually, look at the spread in it now. Wow. Is that just 40 cents or 30 some cents? Look, it is 35 cents. Wow, that is mongo. Fime is fine. The spread is not fine. Let's do 59 by 30. 59 by 30, 59 by 30, HBI if it hits. 59 by 30, and I'm not gonna hesitate, but this is spreading. 59 by 30. Nope, it's not gonna hit there. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. All right, looking around at everything in the world. Cake. Man, everything today is either spready or a big stop. Wow, that's interesting. Let's see if we can get something here, but I think everything today is gonna be a big entry. No, it's X, it was X-E-N-T. No, I don't wanna do this. I rated it if you wanted to, but you're on your own in that. I need to look at the ones that I like. Okay, I'm flipping over here to cake to see if we can get something. Let's do 99 by 90 cake if it hits. 99 by 90 cake if it hits. I'll go back and look at HBI. This is the only two that I like. 99. Here, do it. Just get in it. Getting cake right now put the stop at 90. Nothing's gonna be a small stop today. You just gotta take it if you want it. If you wanna wait till it hits, 90 do it. 49.90 stop in cake if you're in it. That should hold. It just, there's nothing that's gonna be a small stop. If you wanna wait till it hits under, 99 you can do it. It's basically 80, 90 cents. I don't wanna hesitate though, because honestly, we gotta get something. So this really never set up. This, I just don't like anymore. And this I like. Here, here, you could be in the cake if you wanted. It just wasn't a small stop. Here it is, but it's going cake. Cake down to 48. Wow, everything today was wide and spreading and it's just very, very unusual. So let's double check. I think we're good with this because of the spread. Let's give it, let's give it five more cents. And I'm just, I mean, it's not gonna make a big difference. 49.95, just give it five more pennies in here cake. Yeah, excellent, I did rate, but I wasn't crazy about the guy. I'll explain why later. No, this isn't even the right thing. Everyone keeps, I don't, everyone keeps writing a different thing in here. This one, I didn't like it. I'll explain why later. This never set up. Wow, cake is the only thing that is even looking if you're remotely interesting to me now, which is strange. So if you're in the cake, or if you didn't do the cake, you can still do it here. It's really just, it is what it is. You have to give it the room. It's really a wider stop than this. We're spread, I mean, this is gonna go, but I'm surprised that this is the only thing that's going today. I'm shocked, shocked because there was a lot to look at. And I think I looked at everything that I liked. Nobody else gave me any ideas besides that EXNT one. Bob gave that in the room this morning in Trend Trader. I just didn't like it. Here, cake, be in it, this is gonna work. But this was a big stop. There's nothing you can do about it. It's money, it's a trade, it's better than nothing. All right, so 47.50. 47.50, let's see what we get done there. I think it breaks 48, 47.50. And if it doesn't wanna shop, but I like it, why this day is not what I thought it would be. I actually thought a couple of these would work. And I was like, well, it doesn't really matter what we watched, but mm-mm-mm. Cake, cake, cake. So I'm glad I didn't hesitate. And if we had done it out of the gate, that would have been worse. So it all ended up being fine. Here, cake under the low. We can get this down here, cake, cake, cake. First target's 48.25, 48. If you wanna try to hold it, try to hold it. It's early, 9.36, great call. Great call. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Let's take a look at this situation. Nothing's happening here, and this is fine. Just see what else is going on. Hang on one second. I did not even look to see what, I don't even know if anything's out today. We have to watch for economic data. I didn't even look, because I was like so focused on too many things here. 48.50 in touch. You could have piece-mealed a little bit a bit out of it there. You could have taken a small baby amount out here. I think it keeps going, but you could have just protected yourself very, very quickly because of the fact that market is trying to hold, market is trying to rally. This has done a lot, and really it was a big stop. If you believe in it, if you like the gat, I'm the only person here that'll like this gat. In fact, nobody else even put this on the list. Was I the only person that liked this gat? And we talked about it yesterday. In fact, I said it yesterday. I dreamed it, I imagined it. Cake, cake, cake. Monday was cheesecake, national cheesecake day. I've never heard of a holiday like that. I didn't get any though, it was too busy. I wanna know why there isn't a cheesecake factory in Manhattan. That is a crime. It's all the way out in Queens, and I'm not going to Queens to have a piece of cheesecake. I have no idea why they do not have a cheesecake factory in Times Square. They should have one in Times Square. I have everything else. Here, cake. Well, we do have to watch it at 48, but I do think it gets to 47.50. I bet it's in cake. I bet you got out of a little bit because I know the way you take a little bit out, a little bit out, a little bit out, and that's okay. But here it's looking, it's trying. And we did break 50. I thought 50 was alone. No, it was 46. Oh, there's some more because the stop was big. Here, it's hard though. Everybody's in cake. Triple seven got it too. Triple seven did you do the option? Here we go. No, the cheesecake I like, Stephen. The cheesecake. Oh, it's just that they have a million flavors. I like their lunches. I used to gather all the time for business lunches when I lived in Arizona. There was one in Scottsdale. It was a good place for a business lunch. That was when I used to eat lunch. Now, no, this was the best. Look at that bar up there. That is totally not real. 2080, that was an invisible tick. But what about this one here that nobody can spell? I didn't like this because it was trading really strange. I could tell the way it traded on the chart, on the intraday chart and the daily chart. And I thought it was too thin. So I didn't want to do it. That was a correct assessment. Because if you shorted this here today, you would have been up and then down. That's the problem with training things are too thin. I know that it shows volume at such and such, but we never traded this before, I don't think. And I don't know what it is, but I know it was weird looking on the chart when I saw the chart itself. And I said, no. Even though theoretically the gap was good, and I did rate it, it would have been impossible to take that trade and get out. It would have been almost as impossible as LL. Which actually, let's look. LL today is going and did have an amazing afternoon play. Did anybody do that? Did anybody do that? I forget if I sent the email out or not, I don't remember. That afternoon play was better than the morning. What are you gonna do? LL is good today. And cake is amazing. Let's see, what are your favorite flavors of cheesecake factory cheesecake? Come on, write it in the round. Let's give us some good luck. Here, cake all the way down. I like the chocolate mousse one. Chocolate chip. Cake profits are even better than the cheesecake tastes. Here, cake, cake, I mean 25 was a touchdown. You could be out there. Let's see if you can get to 48. I truly believe that this gets to four, seven, something, something. But I don't know if that happens here in our time today, 941, we gotta watch the market. Gyro doesn't like cheesecake factory either? Wow, you people are, you're tough. Here, 48.24, little upside down. Stephen doesn't like cheesecake. Here we go. And I thought I was gonna break there. Sid likes cheesecake. Okay, this did get to that next number. Gallagher got out, Gator got out, that's okay. You could get out. I mean, I'm kind of chancing in here. Market is not going anywhere at all. Wow, market is not. Is everyone out? Gator's out, Gallagher's out, Pyro's out, Dubads is out, 392, that's good. Triple seven's still in it. So it did go to, went to 48, 15, 48, 25. I said 48, 25. So 48, 25, 48, 24, 48, 25 right here. All right, let me just see what numbers are out. Just if you're, if you're out of it, you could be out of it, it was a great call. You wanna hold it? You wanna hold it? It's totally up to you. Today's August 1st. Oh, we got a lot out today. 10 o'clock, 1030. Oh, the rate decision is today. How could I forget? I did remember that yesterday and then I forgot. But I don't think they're gonna change rates today, but yes, that is the situation. No trading this afternoon for anybody, even if cake wants to go to zero, I wouldn't be in it. So we have a number at 10 and a number at 1030. No, we have two things at 10. If this sets up again, I'll call it again. If you're still in it, you're still in it. If you wanna put the stop at break even, that's fine. If you get out of it, that was fine too. With the, with the FOMC meeting today, I don't think the market's gonna go anywhere. Now that I realize that, I kinda forgot. ACAM's trying to go. I'm not gonna call anything else today, but this is setting up. You had to be very patient with this. HBI wouldn't even touch now. Fail, never set up, we didn't do it, thank God. And this other one, I explained to you why I didn't like it. So time of the day remembers early. It's only 9.45. Time of the day is early. Oh no, I'm not gonna be calling this again because I don't know if it's gonna set up again right. So if you get out of it, you get out of it. It did have the pushback here. I do think it's lower. We guess we're gonna find out, but I don't know if it's gonna set up again right. Just looking at it, you got out, you got out. Any questions from anyone about anything? Glad I moved off of that HBI or we wouldn't have done anything. So let's just see. So let's go over it. If you get out of it, it actually was not quite a dollar almost, okay, depending on where you got filled. And it was an R, okay? So you definitely could have taken completely out of the tree. I'm not saying this goes $10 today or something crazy, but I'm saying that cake can move pretty big. And I mean, if you look two days ago, I mean, you look at the cake here, this was almost two and a half bucks and it wasn't an earnings day. So this was earnings here. So let's just look at where it went. So this is not only gone $2 on the day of the earnings. So I don't think it was crazy to at least get this down to 48 or possibly lower, but I don't know what time it happens now. I do think this is still good. If you get out of it though, that was fine. It was an R. It might have been a little bit more depending on where you got filled or a little bit less. Any questions from anyone who had been anything right now while we're here and I'm just waiting here and nothing else to do here right now? Let's look for what's out for tonight. Cross is tonight. HLF is tonight. Oh, Tesla's tonight. That's the big one. Tesla, let's take a look at that. Tesla's tonight, Zynga, win. So Casino's tonight, US Steel, Tesla. Tesla's the big earnings tonight so we can watch. You wanna watch something here? Tonight's watches. Trend trader wants me to look at Apple. If you're trying, I'm gonna call you Gala had. You're trying to pick the bottom of this. I mean, you have to decide how much you wanna risk and then take the trade. If you're trying to wait for a bottom in this, I don't know if this is the bottom, if that's what you're asking me. I think this is a fine place to take the trade, yes. If you wanna wait for a bottom, you gotta wait till I'd say 10 o'clock, 10, 15, 10, 30, maybe even 11. I don't know if this is the low and the stock on the day here. If that's what you're asking me, I don't have the answer. If you wanna take the trade, you determine your risk. Look at the cost. Put an order out between the bid and the ask get filled and take the trade. So bottom line is, if you're asking me if you should take it here, if you're not already in it, because you wanna know if this is the lowest price you can get in this, I do not know because I don't know if the stock has set the low of the day. I don't even know if the stock was green today. Look at it now. It's 9.50, but that doesn't matter. It's a good call. It's gonna work. So whether it works today or whether it works tomorrow, it's gonna work. So it's just, you know, you have to decide. There's no way to pick the high and there's no way to pick the low. I can't even tell this here, even though so far it's held in the first five minutes, there's no way to know that. It did not act the way that I thought right here this morning out of the game, but it doesn't matter. It's gonna go over 200, whether it's a matter of seconds or minutes or days, this is headed over that number, 100% conviction and no chance of failure. So it did not get over it in the pre-market. You don't wanna miss the trade. I would just take it and determine your risk. Don't get too much in your head about the highs and lows. I know sometimes like Facebook, it didn't go at all that day and then you're like, oh, I could have taken more if I had done it the second day or whatever, but then the day it gapped down, you wouldn't have gotten it at all. And you wouldn't have gotten it at all. So it's like, day trading is different from options because we really, seriously, literally, almost get our shorts at the high. That's how good I am. But to do that in the options, it's not the same thing. It's really, it's just not. So don't even try to put that on yourself. Get the direction right. Get in the trade. Size yourself according to the risk. Stick to your money management, whatever it is. Hold the trade or get out half if it goes against you half. You have to just kind of find a way to live with it if you wanna do them because there's just no way. They're just, it's a different beast. It's still doing the gap. That's true. But as far as the price point, we're trading at a one minute chart. This is so different than doing options. And particularly when you're looking at stocks like Apple, Amazon, Google, Tesla, who knows? I might call us up in that tomorrow. I don't even know. But I'm just saying, there's just, it's just, there's no way. And because the swings are so, it could be whoo. And then it could go just like Facebook. You could be down in the trade one day and then up huge the next morning. So if that, they're volatile. We don't put ourselves through that because we're running out of these trades in seconds or minutes. You could have been out of this today in 10 minutes. Now I'm trying to give this some time here. I don't think I'm airing by giving this a chance to break lower, but, you know, I don't want to be here all day either, so. But the market is not getting going. And I don't even think Apple lifts the market today now that I know there's an FMC meeting going on, which I forgot. So they're going to come out with a minute to two. So I wouldn't plan on getting out of Apple today unless it has a rocket move into four. So even if you take this, I would just walk away and enjoy your day because whatever you're out of this, if you're out of it, unless the market rockets after two, I would leave that be. The only reason some of you get frustrated that about getting in the high and low of those options is that they're volatile and the swings are so wild. So you could be up huge and then you could be down. Now you wouldn't be down huge because you'd only ever be down what you actually risk. But the fact that you could be up huge and then all of a sudden not up at all, like you could be up a thousand bucks and then turn around and be down 200. And that is something that if that's something that you cannot handle, then my suggestion is A, don't do them or B, cut your wrist down because as nice it is to see you be up a lot very quickly, you can't worry about the way they swing around because you're never gonna get out of the high and you're never gonna get in at the low and it doesn't matter if you buy a call or buy a put, it's either, it's either way. It's not the same as what we do here. This is on a minutiae timeframe. Not a lot of people can do what I do here with these trades. This is, there's very few people in the planet that can do what we do here with this. This is why you're here. Now let's just see if this puppy's gonna go more. Let's look at this. Let's look at this. You know what, let me look at the other things in the sector because I haven't looked at these things this morning. This isn't going anywhere. Wow, look at how that fell after the earnings. That is crazy town. Did everybody get out of the Facebook option? I said I thought you should because of the fact of the apple. All right, here we go. If you wanna short this again, you can, but I really would put the stop at the original place. I would give it 90, 95 and I mean 49, 90, 49, 95. Not 48, okay, not 10 cents. So you're either in this or you're waiting but if you did it again or wanna do it again, I think that's fine but I really would put the stop at the same place. You could take this again here now. Cake was late. So this wasn't a textbook entry here in cake even though it did have it, we missed it. We're lucky we even did it. We're lucky we even did it. I did not do a textbook entry in cake because we missed it. So, but you know, if we had watched this immediately, we could have but it just didn't work out that way. I really thought HBI would work. I honestly thought this would work. Here, I wouldn't do this now because it was so crazy this morning, but this could break. So, this was not a textbook. This is not a good one to go over. You can go back and look at it and see what the proper entry was but it's not what we did. That's what you're asking me. It was, I know this is gonna work. We missed it. Let's get in. That was what was going on in my mind. Steven keeps his rest level little level he's comfortable with. You don't want gray hair. I think it's a good idea. It's a fine plan. Let's see where ACAM is. Yeah, ACAM's going. Big target in this now. Gosh, this was probably an even better entry which is funny. I'm looking at this now. This was a tighter entry than cake but it took longer to go but I mean this really has a massive target in it now. ACAM is valid if you wanna short it on any setup. But again, knowing what's going on today, knowing that there's the FOMC, knowing all of that. You tell me. You tell me where the textbook entry was, Howard. Or is that what you're saying? That's where you would have done it. Is that what you're saying? You would have done it. Okay, let's go over the tree. Is anyone still in it? If you wanna retake this now, you can retake it. If you're not in it, you could do it. Did anybody not do it?
