Hope you guys had a great month in January 2012 or 2020. This month has been quite good for me in terms of P&L, but you know, that's not what I'm going to cover today since I've been doing it, you know, for the last month or two on November and December. Today, I kind of want to talk about one of the trade that I took on Friday and which I think brings up to pretty important topic that I think you guys can learn from and, you know, which that trade particularly got me kind of, you know, my ego and greed was there. And so I just wanted to show you guys how that trade has been affecting me and I did not realize it until, you know, later in the day. That's something I think all of us could suffer or could have that daily without realizing it. So that's why I think it's, you know, pretty important topic. So that's why I just want to go over, you know, particularly that trade, which is VXRT. So this is my executions on VXRT. This is the chart from Friday. You know, it had, you know, nice run in pre-market dies down here, you know, perfect top and now that cover and then, you know, it's just continued to, you know, grind higher and, you know, make new height of day here at 3 p.m. and, you know, after hours, you know, went even more. So yeah, I want to talk about this. First, it's just not really about P&L. I was up nicely on Friday and I don't know for some reason. Yeah, here is my trades and then VC, I got like, you know, one, two, you know, got, you know, decent money on VC and VXRT, that one, I traded after the pub and, you know, had open here, but I was still in this trade when I posted it. So that's why I want to quickly go over that. So what happens here? I was up nicely in the morning. I showed VC also and, you know, what was all good, perfect. You guys can see here, I top ticket, right? You know, I've shorted some in pre-market as well and quickly cover here. And then when it opens, I had my orders all the way up here. It's like, you know, one 13, one 14, perfectly top ticket. And then I cover right away on that wash, which is, you know, perfect. It fits perfectly to my plan. That's what I've been doing, you know, for a year now. That's basically my process. And right after when I cover that, and I look at the P&L, you know, for this particular trade, VXRT, I was like, you know, compared to like NNVC, man, it's like nothing. And I said to myself, oh man, it's like, I'm making like, like shit on this one. And because this particular trade, you know, it's moving once and you have to size up. I mean, you have to really size up in to be able to get, you know, huge, you know, P&L or huge money because, you know, all you can get, I think it's around like 10, 20 cents or maybe 10 cents on this type of ticker. It's a lot, you know? So you have to kind of use size like me. I was like using almost like, you know, 20,000 there, but this one wasn't a 20K. So I wasn't up enough. And right here, I cover everything. Like usually on the other, you know, ticker, I would be able to, you know, call it a day and be done with it because the P&L wise was good. And this one was like just few hundred bucks. And I said to myself, oh man, it's like, I had to make more. So I went back to a drill here. And what was thinking to myself, shit, man, it's like, I'm not up enough. And this stock is like barely moving. Like it's like just one sense, you know, what's going to do to me, right? It's not going to squeeze me or anything. Even if it did, I mean 10 cents, it's probably nothing. Right? So I went back here with size. And I shot it back here. And when it's like, you know, those little wicks here, I added more, you know, just to be able to make more on that. So that's, I think that's great right there. And right after that, you know, it pops back here. And, you know, that was perfectly fine because 1030 is around here. My plan was good. I mean, I said to myself, all right, I'm just going to keep trading this until 1030. And I had to cut it. And I said that to James as well. So I just kept adding here. And stocks kept raining back up right after this point. Like I was down like 10 cents already, you know, on pretty decent size because I wanted to make more money, right? And right after this ad, and this one right here, basically I gave back everything here. So I gave back all those profits I cover here. I was done. And that was like, I said to myself, oh, man, shit, I give back all the profits now, you know, that's greed that cost me, you know, that those profits. So what happens here is like, after that, I was like break even on that trade. But man, I just couldn't take it. So I went back again here is like, not with, you know, small size, but with all those combined in one bullet because it's like kind of revenge trade for me. And as soon as after that, it broke a new high. So I was using huge size here. And you know, at all at once, because I think you guys can remember from that day, the level two was like, you know, 10k, 50k, 60k, that's nothing on that. And so I load the boat here just to be able to revenge that because, you know, I didn't take the profit, you know, I went back more and up like giving all back. So I load the boat here. And as soon as after that, you know, I had to cover and right this trade, I took a loss on that after that is like, you know, after I see stuff 120 and you know, that point, I was not myself anymore. I think I would be trading anything. I mean, if it pops, you know, back here, probably with short here or anything. So right after I cover, you can see here, you know, I went back right in and shorted, you know, back with that size and quickly cover it. And then at this point, I was green again. It's like trade on a flying kind of thing. I mean, as you can see, if I ignore all the part here, I would be so stress-free at the open and not even have to look back. You know, I don't even have to trade at all after that. See, it was like ups nicely. But you know, that's what I wanted to talk about today is that greed, sometimes we think, or we saw like, we see those PNL flashing and we think, man, I'm not that and you know, I'm not up enough. It's like, and I kind of deviate from my plan and from my process right here. Because the point, you know, for us as a trader is that we take what our process gives. Yeah. So that's, you know, something I wanted to talk about today. And you know, I hope you guys can pick up some, you know, great lessons here. And I think that's useful. So all right, have a good weekend to you all. And I'll see you next time. Peace. Thank you so much for watching our video.
