 Melissa, yes. I got to pay attention to what I'm doing here, but really quickly, I emailed you back. I'm totally serious that I want you to go through every single one of those trades that I emailed you so that you can see how badly you screwed up what could have been a very nice profit. I am doing this now. Yes, I am. Like I'm just trying to prove a point to you because you don't have to prove it. I know. I do. I have to prove the point to you because you don't listen to me. And what I'm trying to say to you is just listen to me and find a money management that works, which is either hold it out of a half, but I believe that you should hold them. But if you don't want to, that's fine. But you can't manage everyone differently because obviously you see what happened. And like, I mean, honestly, if you weren't sure what to do before you killed anything this week, you should have asked me if it's like, you know what I would have said to you? I have no idea what the Fed says, but the way the chart looks, I have a feeling we're going to move higher. And then every long you should have held. And it's like, and you really should have done this by two. But I mean, either way, for you to now, I mean, so you're focusing now on the loser, which is NVIDIA. And I'm just like, oh, my Lanta, you should be up like thousands, thousands of dollars right now. You should be up in these trades. And you needed a week like this. I gave it to you. I gave you the trades. You managed them wrong. You could have been up thousands. You could have made very easily $2,500, $2,500 and I'm conservative here. You could, you could, because these are going to fall through. These aren't even over. I, you don't even have to get out of these today, but you're not in them. It's like, I'm, I'm have to prove a point to you so that it rams it into your head. So I don't have to prove it to me. Yes, my back is against the wall. Then why are you making so many mistakes yourself? I know if your back is against the wall, then listen to me in this position before the very same thing. And I've let them run and I've lost and that's the problem. No, the problem is you never have a set money management plan that you can live with. You say, well, if the chart looks good, well, if the chart looks bad, well, if the chart looks good, well, if it looks bad, well, if it looks good. I mean, the fact that you just emailed me if the video looks good, I mean, I almost could scream except for I have no voice. I mean, this has nothing to do with anything. The fact is that, excuse me, why are you focused on this? If your, if your job is to hold it, you're still in it. If your job is to get out of it at half, then you're out of it. And quite frankly, I honest to God told you to get out of it yesterday. I told you to get out of it. Oh, then why are you asking me about it? I took it yesterday. I made it. I made 85 books yesterday. Okay. Then why did you, why did you just email me that you're in this and you're down? I didn't email you that I was in it. I said, what do you think about this? It is holding the range. Everything else has moved. I think nothing about this. What do you want to do with this? You can't even possibly tell me that you wouldn't want to short this here. Because everyone will still be in this is a shock because, obviously, I was an anomaly because I took it yesterday and I made the quick money in and out. But if you were holding this, you're holding it into next month. So at the same time, it is still holding that range. It's a better price. Well, not much better price, but it is slightly. Why not take it now because it's holding and it looked like it could drop again this week. What makes you think this is gonna, I got to pay attention to what I'm doing here now. Just hang on one second. Okay. What was I just saying here? All right. So I'm sorry. Let's seriously, what would you want to enter a short on a day that the stock capped up? This could run up to 150 before it falls again. There's nothing to do here. There's nothing to reshort this. It's not broken over, has it? It's holding that range. What does it have to do with anything? That's nothing that I taught you. You are not focusing on things that I taught you. We've taken it as an option, haven't we? No, the trade you did it and got out yesterday. It's off. It's over. I did because I was an anomaly, wasn't I? But everyone else should still be in it, shouldn't they? No, not necessarily. Why? Because you didn't know what was gonna happen with Apple. I would have told everyone if they had asked me what to do with this yesterday, which it really could have broken the low from the previous day, but it closed at the lows. But everyone except for you because you only had one contract, I would have said either get out of the whole thing or get out of half because we didn't know what Apple was gonna do. And for that reason, that I would have said, but you only had one. So I said get out, but you made the profit. But the fact that you were even considering doing this right here is, again, complete and total opposite of what I taught you. So I want you, the lesson is I want you to go through all the trades that you messed up. I want you to write all of the things that you did. And I want to see all the money that you didn't get, that you didn't make. I want to see it all. Because you cannot let earnings weeks profits go like this. Because when earnings season is over, what are you gonna do with yourself? Because it will be day trading. And then there won't, there isn't going to be option after option after option. I'm not going to be calling 10 trades in a day. And then you're going to be what do I do with myself? And you keep talking about how, oh my God, we don't, it's not enough money. It's not enough money. I, all of these trades worked and you did not, I mean, are you in anything? I hope you didn't get out of this. Oh, I'm still in Starbucks. Let it ride. It's going to go over the high. And I'm also still in Caterpillar. But unfortunately, Caterpillar is still in Caterpillar. Well, this, yeah, I mean, this thing, again, focus on the ones that are working. Okay, so you got out of NVIDIA, you're not retaking it. You're holding Starbucks, that's fine. You didn't do the spy, which was a problem. You killed the queues, lost what you shouldn't have done. IBM, it's done. And this, I have to, I have to, I have to, I can't think about this right now. I've had such a long day. I can't think about cat right now. We'll talk about it tomorrow. I just want you to go through the exercise of what I sent you. I am, I'm deliberating, I'm deliberating about whether to cut them at 50% or not. But I've been there before. And the problem is. I don't think you should because you have this in your mind about this idea of wanting to take a certain, you know, get a certain move. And if that, I'd rather see you hold the trades and cut your risk back to 300 bucks or something or $400. I don't, I don't know what it's going to take for you to do that right now. But the question, the question is, and I'm glad I'm speaking to you, is if I kept, if I made my risk $400, say, I've just been trying to work it out now, when would I, how much would I kill that position at $50, $100? If I saw it go, and I saw it hover around $50. That's basically what you tell me that I should cut the position if I see it running to profit by X amount. And I don't know what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Are you, what are you talking about? If I take, if I make my risk $400 at $400, that's what I'm risking $400. Okay. But obviously, if it goes into profit, and if it goes in straight away, and I make $100, great, take it out $100. But what if it hovers around $50? Is the rule that I take that $50? And yet I'm risking $400 in that one trade? Well, I mean, we can talk about this more specifically. But I think for you right now, the most important thing is to be booking profits. The problem that I have with the key, I know, but no, the problem you guys, because you're not booking profits, like you could have made $100 in this on Friday, instead, you lost $200 on Monday, which killed it, and you didn't even talk to you about it. So whether you had held this or got out early, the listen to me, and then I really got to go because I've had so many. But whether you held this trade, or whether you got out early, you would have had a better outcome than the outcome that you did. Oh, definitely. So what I'm saying to you is it doesn't even matter. You're going to have some that go right away, and then you get out. You're going to have some that go a little bit, and then you get out. When you get out, when you're up, you cannot lose. And therefore, I don't have a, it's like, say you had gotten out of this with $100, you would have looked at this the day and said, ah, it's too bad I got out of that, but it's okay. I made $100. Instead, we're saying, you're saying to yourself, oh my God, I lost $200. What an idiot I am. So the point is though, that you will have a better outcome if you, I don't care, is the point. I just get out when you're up. I don't think it matters if you're up 50, if you're up 100, if you're up 400. The problem is, you're not. You're not getting out when you're up any amount. If you consistently book profits on little tiny amounts like NVIDIA, that's fine. You're going to have good results. If you hold, you're going to have good results. But what you're doing is ask backwards. And listen, I was looking Starbucks today and I thought, great, it's continuing. And I turned away and the next minute, I was down about over $100. So where do you say, where do you put your stake in the ground? Because you're, first of all, this isn't expiring this Friday. That's number one. And number two, this looked fine, but you did the right thing. You asked me, what do I think? I said, you know what? Looks good. Hold it. Then ask me. That's the only solution I have for you. If you don't know what to do, then ask me. But the fact that you wanted to get out, you have to understand these options chains. You know these from before. Something could look amazing in the chart. And if it swings around, woo, woo, woo. You could be up and you could be down and you could be breakeven. But if the chart looks good and you got time left and you got the market with you, then you got to let it swing around. But if you can't handle those swings, then when you are up, then get out when you're up. Right. Understood. Okay, thank you. Anyways, I want you to do that thing for me to prove a point, because you've been whining about the fact that some of these haven't had big moves when... I'm not whining. I'm not whining at all. You've been whining. I don't know what, but the problem is in the past, I've lost. And I've lost to more today on my day-to-day trading platform. God knows what's going to happen next week. Today was a crazy day, because we should have stayed with the market initially in the morning. I can't do that. I'm knackered. I can't do that. Well, you didn't do the market. If you did the one this morning... I just lost me $150. Yeah, then that's fine. Then that's fine. You lost in Juniper and that was it. But anyways, either way, I'm saying to you that you have to get a trading plan together. It can't be that you don't know what you're doing and every trade is different. And you need to have a plan of action. Like, right here now this is swinging around. But generally, yes, I do. I do generally. But when you get put against the wall and your funds are depleting, you have to think, oh, crikey, what am I going to do now? You know, I mean, it's... I can't... If you don't cut it, you end up being broke, don't you? No, because you're taking too much risk, Philip. You should never have gotten out of this trade. The fact that you did meant that your risk per trade is too high. Or, like I said, you could have got out of it with $100 bucks on Friday. I mean, there's just... You can't have it both ways, Philip. You can't risk a lot. If you feel like your back is against the wall, then you can't risk a lot. If you're going to let the trades work, then you've got to give the trades a chance to work. This is a good trade. And it probably falls through tomorrow. It probably falls through at the end of the week. But the point is that either way, either way, you mismanage trades constantly because you're making choices based on wherever you're at with your account. If you have a big week, then you risk more or you hold. If you have a bad week, then you cut them early even if there's nothing wrong with them. You change your mind all the time. I need to prove a point to you. And the point is, first of all, you have to have a trading plan. And I don't care what it is, but the dollar amount has to be an amount that if you really are going to hold these trades, like if you really had held this today, then you have to be okay with the trades possibly being down until they go. And if you're not... Yes, but I also have to consider at the same time the fact that the price of the option or the mean price, which generally they're around, you can get them for obviously under 400 or 400, between four and five, can't you? Otherwise, if I take it so small, then I won't be able to take anything at all, will I? I have no idea what you're saying. If I call something that costs $10 and you can't take it, then you can't do that one. What do you mean? Yes, exactly, if they are too expensive. Yeah, I mean, that wasn't this. That wasn't this anyways. Again, you're in your head about the size. Again, you're in the head about the size. You're in your head again about the size. I'm not in my head about a size. I'm only about taking one option. All right, an example would be Tesla over the board. That would be extremely expensive as we know. I didn't even look at this today. I mean, I'm just using it as a price because I do recall that they are expensive options to buy. So I couldn't do that. That's out of my window. So then the one of every 25 that I call you can't do, then you can't do, but that's not on a regular basis. I'm just using that as an example, but yes, I have to obviously cut the cloth to suit the wallet, so to speak. But you are not consistent with your money management, and that's why I want you to go through all those. First of all, the fact that you're even into denial. No, you're not. You didn't do any trade that I called in the last week, let alone two weeks, let alone a month. I've got a list of them here, but I just cut them early. That's the problem. No, some of them you didn't. Some of them you didn't. Like you chose to hold Starbucks. You chose to hold this one. You chose to get out of IBM. I mean, you got out of IBM breakey, but I mean, you did this. When you got out this, you literally almost did every single trade differently. It's like, oh my lanta. So that's why I want you to go through that thing that I just said, and I want you to just put it in writing so that I can look over it with you, because I just want to prove my point how you are doing different things with each time. So stop being in denial that you're being consistent, because that is a total fabrication. Like until you get out of the denial, you're going to be crazy. And the fact that you even want to do anything with this. Consistent figure on the table, yes. Not inconsistent with time. I've taken them out at the wrong time, obviously. That stands out of my own. What do you think is happening about with consistency? That's what money management is. It's not just the amount that you're risking. It's what you're doing with the stop. You either let them ride or you're killing them at half. You can't look at the chart and say, well, boo boo boo. And again, you're not following what I taught you. NVIDIA gapped up today. There's no short play here. The gap down happened two days ago or three days ago, whatever it was. If people are still in it, yes, it looks lower. Would I reshort this here? Hell no. I wouldn't reshort this here. You either took it and you're in it, or you took it and you got out. Well, it's like cat. I mean, cat and it's absolutely not right. I'll look at that later. I've had the longest day on the planet, and it was a ridiculous day, because really, we should have never got stopped and accused for a penny. And that was just like, it was crazy. Oh, did you get stopped and accused? Yeah, we got stopped out for a penny in the morning, and it was just insane. And then I ended up redoing it. I mean, it's just a long day. I don't even, I seriously need to like, just take a nap. But I mean, I just wanted to talk to you because you were emailing me. Yes, thank you. Thank you very much for that. Yes. Please do what a thing I just sent you, though, just to prove the point and put it in, please. I know, I will, I will do it. Yes, and the numbers are on the place of paper. Definitely stacking up. Okay, thank you. No, and you got to figure out what you're doing with the money management then. Like, we have to figure this out for you. Yes, yes. Before I call another train, all right? All right, yes, thank you. All right, talk to you later. Bye. Yeah, thanks. Bye.
