 Good morning everybody today is February 19, 2019 and it's been a while since I've actually traded been busy and then with the holiday yesterday We didn't train markets were closed. Let's check for X factory to see what we got here at 10 o'clock Eastern Time Housing Market Index and that's it and that's low impact guys So hopefully we get a signal and we can trade it here today Been watching the markets all day long An hour into the trading game no signals yet The only promising one is Apple, but I'm not even liking it here Maybe some consolidation happening here on spy in the queues and we might get a signal thereafter, but Patience patience patience. I feel like we're getting really close here to to getting a signal on the spy We're starting to see a push here on spy. There's our signal on Spy gonna wait just a tad bit longer here. Yeah, that signal is disappearing We got about a minute and a half until the candle closes. Let's see if we can get our our signal to stick Doesn't look like it's gonna stick here Alrighty, I went ahead and bought three calls of the 172 50s that expire in three days on the queues. I got filled at 113 I'm selling this trade here. I'm not doing much of anything I got the finger on the trigger in case, you know, something goes wrong or it goes the other direction, but Let's see. Let's see what he does here Went ahead and sold to at 120 Just you know to cover my butt here. It seems like it's having a hard time, but it's wanting to take off So let's see. Let's see what happens here. I actually sold at 119 And if it gets back down to a dollar 13, I'm just gonna sell out. No biggie. No harm done and There you have it guys up. I I actually ended up selling that one at 115 I saw 113 flash and I just hit the market sell order and it actually sold me at 115 kind of weird But let me show you my trades for today. I bought three At 113 sold to at 119 and sold that third one for at 115 What's up guys? This is Giovanni from spy options trading. I placed the trade today. It was a good trade I squeezed out As much as I possibly could even though it wasn't a big return. There's a little over five percent But that is okay guys. I've been getting a lot of questions about, you know, why don't I go for bigger gains? Why am I only going for you know, a small tiny in gains? It's not necessarily that that's all I want to make. I Always have to make sure and protect myself. I think my strategy As far as you know, selling a portion the majority of my my position at a particular level and holding some in Hopes that it keeps running That that to me. I think is gonna give me the best possible Opportunity to make as much money as I possibly can for the last couple of trades If you haven't noticed I've been selling at near the high of the day Whether that's a good thing or bad thing. I'm not sure. You know, I'm not even gonna go there That tells me that I as bad as this might may sound I Have a pretty good gut feeling as far as you know, whether you know, I should you know This is all I can squeeze out of I think I can chalk it up as as to luck That's how I'm chalking it up as anyways, but if you haven't guessed already I'm a trend trader and more specifically a continuation pattern Trader, I guess that's the best way I can describe my trading technique And what I like to look for in a trade. I like to trade the trend. The trend is your friend Essentially, I guess that's gonna be the theme of this video here today. The trend is your friend I'm absolutely okay with that these tiny tiny tiny wins are adding up They're adding up and essentially if you haven't put two and two together Really, this is a pretty good strategy. I just basically have to scale up my trades Like that's that's where I'm trying to that's what I'm trying to do is get to a point where I'm very confident in my strategy Find a strategy that I really Consistent in what I think works and at that point, it's just you know time is of the essence It's just it's just a matter of time where I build up my bank account my My trading account and then just trade for larger positions And then that is where the money is where I'm not making 10 bucks 15 bucks even sometimes even five bucks Imagine making $500 or $1,000 or $1,500 per trade.
