 Hey everyone welcome to this week's video update today is Saturday March 2nd Quick look at the markets and then we'll jump into my trades for the week starting with SPX new all-time high of course 51 40 Same with NDX the Nasdaq All-time high eighteen thousand three thirty three Rut not it in all-time high, but definitely making up some ground. It's all-time highs 24 58 not not close, but Making up a little ground and then the Dow a little bit weaker did not make a new all-time high this week But up at three three ninety point eight seven Gold big pop on Friday gold is actually not too far off of its all-time high, which was 21 52. It's currently at 2091 Silver little pop on Friday as well notes and bonds pushed higher later part of the week Ten-year yield back down to four point one eight one Oil a little push higher this week. Natty gas slightly higher on the week soybean sideways wheat a little bit lower corn That jump was more due to the contract roll, but pretty much sideways Euro and the pound both a little bit sideways and Bitcoin Bitcoin mania back in effect Back above sixty three thousand all-time high and Bitcoin sixty nine thousand three fifty five. So heading that way All right, so that's a quick look at the markets. Let's go to My trades for the week so What's what's interesting here is so I just I just did all my end of month for February and I literally made More on March 1st in one day then I made the entire month of February so It's so crazy like I don't I don't think this is something that I talk about enough, but this is one thing that makes trading so difficult for a lot of people right and that is We all we all we all want consistency, right? We always we all we want the I want to make 10,000 a month or 20,000 a month or You know some or a thousand dollars a day or whatever it is But it but trading just doesn't work like that. Does it right? So, you know, I mean I could have a two thousand dollar month and then I could have a hundred thousand dollar month And that's just the reality and that's why it's so hard for people some traders to Be successful because mentally they can't take that kind of Disparity from from week to week or month to month or even from day to day And I think it's important that that you kind of zoom out and and understand that and that's why you know tracking your performance is so Important because you can zoom out over Several months several weeks several years and really look at okay Well, if I just do this over time it actually works over a lot of occurrences But a lot of the a lot of us just to zoom in and get so caught up in that trade or that day Or that week or that month when in reality, you know taking a step back and looking at the big picture can can make a huge difference Just from a psychological standpoint. So I don't think I talked about that enough And I think it's something that we really need to to to be aware of in our own trading All right, so let's break this down by the different strategies. So I've got my one-to-one three-to-two Re-entries Chopped up a little bit here Some of these were discretionary on days where I'm not trading it mechanically, but I still trade it with smaller size So just slightly green on those for the week My am trades for the week Little bit red just two trades minus two thousand on those New strategy that I started trading calling at the end of day magic my homes those in the For those of you in our community, you know, why Three winners this week and one loser Friday was a loser plus sixteen hundred for the week No FOMC JSP's just one trade plus fifteen hundred My NDX ten wide Five trades Friday was a loser the other days were winner plus twenty four hundred for the week Power hour a lot of these profits just came on Friday on March 1st But all all power our trades for the week were winners plus eighteen thousand nine forty five for the week PM trades So I've got a new strategy that I've just started which I call PM tranches So those are actually a bunch of different trades, but all all considered one So and then one PM ratio trade so plus eight thousand five seventy six on my PM trades for the week Price section. I think I may have had one of those. I'm not gonna really be trading that anymore, but 200 bucks on that one My quiet midday tranches Three different three different days You refresh this Yeah, a little over three thousand on those Rick Decent week for Rick just had one loser and the rest winners plus thirty six hundred on those My oh two DTE call calendar. Just one of those for 300 bucks my one DTE Three of those little over twenty six hundred on that Time flies none of those this week. Yeah, and then dynamic calendars had a green week had one trade that I botched I mismanaged it was something that per my rules I take off in the morning kind of the first part of the day and I decided I was going to let it run and here it is so minus twenty two hundred on that one As you can see I flagged myself with a little Mistake there, but that should have been about I mean if I would have taken it off And I was supposed to it would have been about a five hundred dollar loser instead. It turned into a twenty two hundred dollar loser Actually had a chance to book a profit I actually had an order in and then price ran away from me So all in all just not a good trade minus twenty two hundred, but still with that one net a little over forty five hundred for the week on my calendars Directional futures got chopped up a bit here. They actually would have been green for the week I had one trade that I forgot to close out at the end of the day so ended up turning into a From about a five hundred dollar loss to about a two thousand dollar loser, which was this one in the bonds So slightly red on my directional futures for the week Iron duck couple small wins 145 189 MOC trades just the one this week plus 1950 Option selling I don't think any closes. Yeah, these are all just rolls. So those are all still open And then lastly my portfolio margin Get all these checked So one win on a golden butterfly plus thirteen hundred a small scratch loss on a reverse vertigo and the others are still open So that's it for the week. Look forward to a good March. Everybody. Have a good rest of your weekend. Talk to you soon
