 Everyone, welcome to today's day trading recap for Friday, April 23rd. Hope everybody had a good week ending the week on a small green day plus $137. Now that's a fall from where we hit yesterday of over 3000, but that's okay. A couple of things. Um, one I went in today, making sure I was going to keep my position size super small. For one, we're trading the zero date days to expiration that move really quickly, have some serious theta decay to him. Uh, number two, based on yesterday's big winning day, came into this with the mindset of I didn't want to have kind of a euphoric mindset of, of giving it all back, you know, putting on a big bunch of big size, uh, because I kind of in the mindset of everything I touched turned to gold kind of thing. And so I went in just wanting to be very, very cautious of that being aware of my mindset. And then three is Friday and, you know, Friday, I like to keep things a little bit smaller and kind of be done early. So I only took a few trades, uh, mighty nineties did have two trades, two nice winners Nvidia for plus 330 MU for plus 224. So we'll go over these trades and I'll come back and recap the, uh, the entire week, a really good week overall. And then, uh, two runners today, AMD minus 120 SQ minus 297. So plus 137 net on the day, no pairs trades. So let's take a look at these and then we'll come back and recap the week starting with Nvidia. So Nvidia was a nice little mighty 90 that we took. And I kind of managed this one a little bit like a runner. So you could have, um, I could classify it as a runner, but, but really I entered as a mighty 90. And so that's, that's where I'll classify it. I had this big pushup started to pull back. Now this bar ended up green. And so this volume bar is green, but at one point it was red down here. And so on this pullback, I was looking at it as a mighty 90 got in right here and got a pushup scaled out, got out of, uh, three quarters of my position at that point, kind of chopped around, chopped around. And I think I got out of my last piece. I think it was right here when it started to pull down. So nice 300, uh, $330 a winner there. My other mighty 90 was MU. Uh, MU had this nice pushup into this pivot with volume, got short right here, came down, I had my order to close half about right down there. It didn't quite get there. Bounced up. I thought I was going to take, end up taking a loss on this after I had a chance to get out of some. But it played nicely, chopped around, chopped around and finally rolled over, ended up getting out of my last piece right there. Four, a plus 224 on the MU trade. On to the runners. The two runners we did were AMD and SQ. So AMD, uh, AMD was, uh, was one that we were actually talking about right here, of potentially getting long on a pullback. I didn't do it because it didn't quite fit my criteria and I'm trying to be uber strict on my rules. I know some, some folks in the community got in right here and got this nice bounce in AMD. So that's beautiful. I was looking for a potential reversal. So I was looking for a break of this bar here that had the big volume. It did break it right there. And so when it bounced back up a little bit, I got short, did roll over. I got out of half my position on just on that little move with these zero DTE options. They, uh, they bring you some profits quick when they move in your direction. And then it just kind of bounced, chopped around and then pushed up and I ended up just closing it out there because everything was looking pretty bullish. So I ended up taking a loss of 120 on that one. And then square. Don't trade square too much, but had a nice little volume spike on the downside. When it bounced up here, this, this bar ended down here, but it actually bounced up to about right there. And that's where we got short. This thing just started to flush, got out of half. I was trying to get out of more about right down there. It never quite got there. And then you just ripped higher. So when it really started to push higher, cut out of my last piece and ended up taking a loss after had a decent profit, but no fault of the way traded. Just, it just ripped, ripped back up on us. So took a loss on that one. So net net plus 137 on the day. Let's bring that, bring back the sheet and I'll show you what we did for the week, uh, really nice week, mostly duty yesterday, but on the mighty 90 front, um, really, really encouraged with this of the P and L obviously is good. Plus 2,757 had 11 trades and only one loser, only one out of 11 trades were losers in the mighty 90. So over 90% win rate, fantastic. On the pairs trades just did one book 239 50. And then on the runners booked over $3,500 on 26 trades, pretty low win rate, but P and L, like I said, primarily due to yesterday's big performance. Monday was a good winner. Tuesday was a winner. Wednesday was a loser. Yesterday was the big one. And then today a little bit of a red day on the runners as well, but net net over $3,500. If we took a lake look at the summary year to date, now we're at over $7,800 on our mighty 90s, over $1,900 on our pairs trades, over 21,000 on our runners, total over $31,000 in profits year to date. If we take a look at the P and L by day of week, you can see every day this week was green, which I love. I love green days. I love green weeks. In fact, going back to Friday. So that's actually six green days in a row. So getting a little mini street going here, see if we can keep that alive. And then if you look at the P and L by day, Thursday is starting to run away with it. You know, obviously thanks to yesterday, but Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, three best days of the week so far. So again, small data sample, but we'll continue to fill this in as we go and see if we can glean anything from it. I do like to, I do feel a lot more comfortable putting on additional size on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. And we'll continue to do so. You know, Fridays, I just, I like to keep my position size small. We're usually trading zero DTE Monday. It's the first day of the week. I'm just kind of trying to get my juices flowing. So I'm not really in sync with the market yet. So that's why I feel Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are my best days and will continue to be, but we will see if that continues. And then if we take a quick look at, since we've been tracking, which is since the beginning or since the end of August, you can see back on September 14th, we had a week of over 7,000, but that is the only week since we've been tracking that was better than this week. So plus 6,509 on the week. And so good stuff. And then since the end of August, total day trading P&L over 67,000. The other thing I was going to mention that I've never really talked about, but you know, one thing, you know, I've taken money out of my, kind of my income trading accounts, but on my day trading, I hadn't hadn't really done that. I'd just been kind of building. And so what I've been doing the last couple of months is I've been taking money out of the account. And I've been doing that for a couple of reasons. One is just, it was getting bigger than, than I needed for the size that I'm trading. And two, I think there's a really powerful psychological thing about taking money out of your account. You know, if you just see your money growing in the account, sometimes it, it doesn't seem real. You know, sometimes it just is still kind of like monopoly monies, just kind of funny money. And it can actually cause you to, to do things that, you know, make, make trades or up your position size to a level you may not be comfortable with. And I think taking the money out on a consistent basis can actually have a powerful psychological effect from the, from the impact that you actually, you actually know it's real, right? You can actually spend it, you actually do that. And, and, and the things that you spend it on are tied to that trading because you know, you know where that money came from. And so if, if you're not doing that, if you're, if you've had trouble kind of building up an account and then it comes back down, building it up again, and it comes back down, think about systematically starting to take, take money out. I think, I think there's really something to that from a mindset thing. In fact, it's going to be the topic of a podcast coming up on the trade hacker mindset. So look for that at some point in the future. But, but overall, and then, and then when the other thing that I've been talking about and thinking a lot about is, is really starting to scale up my position size with my day trades. You know, I've, I've done it a couple of times kind of sporadically, like I'm going to take a bigger position size on this trade, specifically. But for whatever reason, and again, this is a mental block that I'm working through and I'm just kind of sharing it with you because some of you all may be able to relate or benefit from it. But, you know, I want to, I want to get to the point where you can see pretty consistently we're having two 1,500, 2,000, $2,500 weeks, right? Which is great. But I really want to get to the point, you know, where we're having 10, $20,000 weeks, right? I mean, it's kind of stupid to say who doesn't, right? But what I've, what I've found is the current position size that I trade is a very, very, I'm in my comfort zone, right? It's, it's very comfortable for me. The P and L swings that I have are very comfortable to me, right now. And there's, and there's nothing wrong with staying there. But at the same time, I want to, I want to grow that, that comfort zone of mine. And so part of that is just incrementally doing it. Part of it is just getting over the mental blocks that you might have around certain levels of P and L swings. And so that's something that I'm, I'm really focusing on and, and wanting to, to work on to, to really gradually kind of get these, these weekly P and Ls up to a significantly higher level on average. So anyway, just some random thoughts that I wanted to share and to kind of get you guys thinking about your own trading and, and how it might help you. So hopefully that helps. We will be streaming Monday through Thursday live next week. We will be offline on Friday had something come up that I have to, that I have to be at in the morning. And so Monday through Thursday and then we've also posted the full schedule for May in the live streamer. And the only, the only two days we're offline in May is one Memorial Day because it's a holiday, the markets are closed. And then we're also going to take off the Friday before Memorial Day because trading is probably going to be light, not the best day trading conditions. And so we're just going to be offline that day as well. If you guys have any questions, let me know. Otherwise have a fantastic weekend and we will talk to you next week. See ya.
