So today if this is your first webinar what I normally do is I'll go over the layout here We're going to go over the key traders of the last week or two Because I didn't have a webinar last week where it's kind of like two weeks Because of the Fourth of July I go over the weekly What I consider to be the weekly market sentiment of the small cap land kind of where I think like What I think is working what I think is not working gonna go over I usually have a couple of trader topics that I want to talk about normally It's like themes of the week you know something stuff that we're talking about you know in chat a lot or Recurring themes like I think a couple of times that we were talking about hard stops one time We were talking about how smaller size leads to Leads to more gains than larger size You know just kind of recurring themes of the week and then each week I'll change up the key segment of the of the week and this week Time frame falls into like an actual like trading center execution type stuff Sometimes we have a psychology what I call the psychology ward or the strategy board where I break down strategies today We're gonna be talking about time frames with which falls under trading center And then we're gonna end the webinar with the Q&A so so this one I think was last week, but I didn't get to go over it just because of The lack of webinar last week, but this was oh excess this was this was the day that the market was open for only a half day So I think this was on Wednesday And the thing about half days in trading is There's a self-fulfilling proxy where everyone wants to leave right? It's a not only like So not only do we get off on Thursday, but it's a half day on on Wednesday and because Friday's typically slow It's almost like everyone wants to take the whole week off So it almost become half days become like a race in the market, right? It's a race to see who you know, like who can make their money the fastest and get the f out Right and so this is why volume typically likes to die off really early On these half days so like basically the half day like the first hour kind of turns into like the first 30 minutes You know, so that was kind of going through my head with this trade But anyway to get into the trade this is an example of a theme. I'm gonna talk about today Where I was using the range right OSS I was using the rain so a lot of the times when I make this first resistant short Um, there's a resistance level that I'm basing a trade off of and if I want to base like a Thesis trade on it, right if I want to base like an entire Like kind of like a big trade on it Then I'm typically going to want to let it test for a little bit while let it confirm to me that it's the top At least before I put any kind of size on the trade, right? Not the case with this trade So with this trade, this is what um bow and I kind of talked about the first resistant short where You'll you have to kind of be brave in these kind of trades But what allows you to be brave is knowing that your risk is planned under control and in check When you know what your risk is and and you plan your risk out ahead of time There is no fear, right? You can enter these kinds of trades without fear CETX I think this is today you keep as you can see I did an amazing job. I'm the best cover in the entire world This is the same idea, right? I I wait for the I wait for the range to be put in here The the pre in this case it's pre-market and I'm basing my trade off the pre-market high And I'm willing to to go into this trade because I'm thinking Um that the range is set and I have a planned risk and I don't have a fear of just throwing the order up here, right? So again, I waited for the first move and used this as my resistance and this is the first time it's testing now You notice like it's not as high as the resistance as in as in the previous trade, right? This is this is you know, I was willing to um Move it down and maybe you know like like this is just I thought 320 might hold right like it's Sometimes I have an order at like 327 or something, but if the price stalls at like 320 or I'm I'm moving that order down, right? And I do that on a case per case basis um Sorry for this. Yeah, so sometimes I use stalls I will use a stall not necessarily as an entry signal, but If I already planned an entry close to the stall I'm typically definitely moving the order down, right? I do that all the time Like I'll I'll have an order at like 324 327 and I'll have my finger on the replace button at 19 or 18 because I'm anticipating that like What I don't want to miss my cover by a cent, right? I don't want to miss my cover by a cent or two cents That drives me up the wall. So what I'm doing is I have my orders probably I I can't remember I think I probably had it at 27 quickly moved it down to like 19, right? Uh cei, so I have a I had a couple trades in this and I'm going to be doing a more in-depth Recap on this later I'll probably do it tonight. I actually I have a dentist appointment later. So I don't know how I'll be able to talk very well But um Yeah, so I kind of messed up on it the first day not so bad like I longed it right away At the open because this is the classic setup, right? This is um A recent reverse split and a pr right now the pr in this case happened like the day after the reverse split I typically like it like normally it's like two or three or four days after but um One day after it kind of fits the same mold. It's a little early But you know the the pattern is the reverse split they attempt to go the first day on no pr It doesn't go then a couple days later a piece of prs and then they go and then everyone who bought it for the first day It's like what the fudge like I knew this was gonna go up, right? so, you know so like and I also thought like The reason why I was kind of quick to sell is because I you know, I thought furs Furs were in so I kind I kind of tried to metagame the system I tried to buy it and then short it and then cover it and then maybe rebuy later like I was trying to be I was trying to be too fancy. I was trying to do you know do too much But I bought it and so and then I flipped short and you know, you can see it didn't end Well, I did get you know a nice front side short front side cover, right? You know tried to recycle tried to try to recycle and cut it um You know tried to tried to trade it above 350 and you know stock wasn't having it at all ended up cutting here Then I said maybe a 350 is not going to work. Maybe four is going to work You know and like I tried to trade a little bit under four a little bit over four with the idea that maybe four is the top I'm trying to guess the top. It's not working out at all because it's definitely front side And this was the spark for the for the market, right? We've been kind of we were dead all last week given the july 4th weekend This was the spark. This was like this is the trade that shorts have to look out for right and And I got caught a little bit But what saved me was my not going in more than half front side rule that I have Totally saved me to keep trading it later on in the day Um cvs. This is a trade I did today this was um This was a this was kind of a fun trade because it felt like a it felt like a low a small cap pr trade Even though it's a large cap. So I was actually kind of actually um was pretty confident in this trade. So cvs had um cvs had a PR today that they're going to carry like two cvd products in their store from this company Right and so what that like and so it gapped up like eight percent. And so what that means is that like I guess the the most bullish thing about that is that cvs is entering into an emerging market, right? The emerging market being the the cannabis the cannabis market And so like, you know, like everyone's raging, you know about the cannabis market And so that's the most bullish thing about it So like but I felt the gap was a little too like eight seven eight percent gaps a pretty good gap for a for a large gap So for me, this was kind of like a small cap gapping, right? So I treated it that way And I was like, yeah, the means are ending the cvd market But come on like how much are these two products going to be percent as a percentage of their revenue? Like does it really deserve eight percent market crap market crap market cap increase? I didn't think so. So that's what that's what built my bias on the stock So the methodology for the trade was I came into the day and I was looking for the slam I was looking for some indicator some initial, you know, if it was just going to keep going up I'm not going to short it, right? But I wanted some kind of Um beginning signal that was going to tell me that this like maybe this is going to be a short That the short's going to work out and I got it pretty close to the open, right? This was a nice hard slam. And so now I'm thinking about pops Right and so because it is it's not niche, right? I'm waiting to get in I'm trying to be conservative with the stock I'm waiting for a lower high and I'm waiting for actually the lower high to confirm Right, I'm actually waiting for the top on the lower high to be put in So I know I'm kind of maybe on the right side of the trend because I feel large caps and mid caps trend a lot cleaner Than small caps. So that's kind of the basis of I don't need to necessarily like on these trades on these on these trades like I want to be I want to be kind of part of the liquidity that the emotions are coming into I'm not like that with large caps as much. Um, yeah, I guess I go over the cei trade Oh, I can do that. I can show that later. It's today. That's why so Yeah, I'm just making sure I'm still recording here. Okay Um, yeah, so the market center this week, um a little bit more bullish than last week last week It's a little bit kind of dead But we're starting to see a little bit of excitement going on cei and so solely has just been going nuts So we've just been punishing shorts like no tomorrow But mostly reds right mostly the the big runners of the small cap line is mostly reds Cetx vlx I got some questions about like what made like vlrx and codex What like why did they fade when cei and and um visl ripped? Well, I think there's definitely a float difference between the two That was a good question I had this week Like definitely the lower the floats are going to have the most opportune are going to be the most opportune to run But also you keep in mind that once cei happened It's so much easier for visl to run, right? Um, whereas after visl had that offering and like totally tanked one day Right and had that offering um That kind of kills the mojo for a stock like codex, right? You know like that that popped up today like, you know, like everyone's just remembers the isl the offering like maybe Maybe the the the small bull markets over so that's always like sentiment is so strong and in kind of formulating targets and And maybe like being a different maybe even formulating direction even you know, like if a piggy pops up You know like maybe you maybe you just short and hold because of the most recent sentiment or maybe you say Shorts have been getting squeezed. I know it's a piggy, but piggies can fly and that maybe Alters your direction, right? So sentiment plays kind of a big role with me Anyway, I tracked all the ipos that were going on off a couple of weeks ago Most of these are flat all the blacks are flat all the reds are all the reds are Down but these are barely down. I checked the only one that's even slightly up is go Most of these could just be black neutral, right? None of the ipo is really performed Um cei is definitely creating vibes vi isl I you know, I'm still counting this as a positive just because how strong the sympathy was it really went nuts Almost stole the show from cei on day two, which I think helped with my short on it today Oh, was it today? No, it was yesterday. So I can't go over it Anyway, um spy spy is um keeps trying to test 300 and I really like that I think that's a very positive thing on the market Like I said, I don't want to see it reject and maybe go back down to the two 80s and like consolidate and Take a long time to break. I would much rather break 300 I think the market is I think eat the small cat market is more It's a lot busier when the market's at all-time highs And it's a really steady summer like you know, like I keep waiting for the super deadness to come and it's just not coming We're in july I got rid of the july earning season fear because it seems like we're having a steady summer So the spy and cei are the hopes. I didn't like the offering on visl today I mean that's because I wasn't sure but also just because I want um I don't I you know, whenever there's offering that kills vibes and a lot of red So, you know overall, I think we're kind of still in the middle market I think we're more on the on the bullish side than we were on the dead side last week And so the last webinar I did On the discipline webinar we were over here and then the webinar I missed we were last week was totally dead And now I think we're coming back in here with the cbi and visl stuff So it's kind of still following this pattern here of this circle But I noticed in the summer the circle the cycles are going really fast. It's almost like within a week It's a week or two and it's like a whole cycle has cycled through normally It's like two weeks here two weeks here, you know, two or three weeks here So I noticed that the cycle is kind of picking up Like the the rotations are smaller, right? It's like a smaller circle rather than a bigger circle so one thing I want to talk about like so like Like I showed two examples of the same setup today and that was the is sorry. That was oss and cptx Right, but I want to go over this and I had a phone call with someone about this today Funny enough. It was in my webinar Um setups can have different variations, right? No no setup is ever going to look exactly the same or if it does It's probably like a long time ago, right when it's the different very one, you know When the different variations have changed a little bit over time And it's just kind of maybe looking like an older chart But no sense ever going to look exactly exactly the same like you know Consistently continually um Because if setups were exactly the same they wouldn't exist and that's a paradox Paradoxical statement, but it's basically if there's a setup that's exploitable It's going to get exploited, right? And so if it gets exploited it ceases to exist So this is why um In essence trading is pretty hard because there's always a level of subjectivity, right setups need a certain amount of Variation a certain amount of question a certain amount of doubt in order for the setup to exist, right? If there's ever a setup where you can figure out. Oh, this is going to happen 100 percent You're not the only person who can figure that out And if you're not the only person that can figure that out then you two together aren't the only two people that can figure that out And you know everyone's going to figure it out eventually And thus it's going to cease to exist. So this is how setups can change over time um but like uh This is why um Trading I think I think in essence. This is one of the hardest parts about trading because There's no there needs to be this question. Is this the subjectivity? Is this this setup to even exist? so it's good like Like a solution of this is to kind of zoom out like review your truck review your trades on a weekly basis and kind of like You know scoot back in your chair and look at the setup like hey, is there like a You know like an a b c or is this you know an x y z or is there a pop consolidation drop like you know Just zoom out and look at the pattern, right? Or maybe you include some fundamental stuff, right? Like uh, yeah, so time frames so this is just a I Something I wanted to talk about for a long time. I could we could literally talk about this for hours, but like I tried to condense it um basically, um You have to know what kind of time frame you're trading you have to know what kind of time frame you're good at Right. Like everyone's good at different time frames. I mean I remember talking to another trader. I think last week about a large cap swing short um where I think he was trading off a 30 minute chart on a stock that was bouncing off of a long term daily chart trend and he um was shorting I think into the a I think he was shorting into the low 90s but um The trend totally, you know, like could look like it could go to 94 95 96 and still Match his downtrend pattern. I just went up a couple more dollars. Maybe then you then It was that currently and so we talked about it and we're like, yeah So what's your time frame for the trade? Right? Like if you're trading a daily chart downwind trend You kind of got to give it the room a daily chart deserves, right? So this is just a classic example Like we'll we see this so many times in the small cap land where a stock will run up and let's say this is like Let's say this is like a hundred percent or something like this, right? This is like a hundred percent already Then we get up to like 150 percent or something like this and then you know We start to fade hard and we start downtrend and now this and I intentionally made it look so perfect, right? This can this could be drawn out like this This this could like maybe turn into like what looks like a wedge, right? And it looks like a total down trending wedge and then buy and then back up the basic Ideas that the trend is holding is a larger time frame trend line that's just holding right and you got to be Cognizant of that when you're trading these stocks that are up 100 200 percent that are up too much And you think that they just can't go higher and that they totally can CEI is for example, bpth all these big runners Almost filled my This is an example where like you can start to think that like it like this could stuff so hard, right? Like we could have a death candle right here at the top like a death candle at the top Might not necessarily mean that the whole move is over, right? That could just mean that This move is over right that a huge death candle here at the top Does not necessarily mean that the entire move for the whole day is over it could literally just mean that This move this time frame This time frame this front side This is the backside to this time frame, right? But you got to be considerate of this higher low and if we stop over here This does not just because there's a death candle at high day does not mean that it's guaranteed to roll over And this was cei in a nutshell, right? I want to scroll back up to cei This was like this is this is it right here, right? This is it Bam, you know like harsh pull harsh pull. It's over. Nope. It's not over, right? It's the exact same thing here This of course looks steeper, but this is just you got to account for that with variation. So My rules for this are rule rule of thumb guideline like Style I guess is a better word because I always look at one lot one time frame larger because Um, and this is just solely relevant on the fact that my patients It's probably only tied to one time frame larger than my trading. So if I'm trading a one minute chart I'm probably not going to Like the 15 minute chart would give me a bigger time frame chart But it's probably not the one that I can even hold for anyway Like it's less relevant to me than the one Then the then the immediate larger time frame, which I would consider the five minute time frame And that's just me. I would group it one five and 15 but um Like so like if I'm a one minute trader, I want to look at the five minute higher lows Like I'm like I would assume this is a one minute and this is a five minute Like I might look if this was a five minute chart then this would be the 15 I guess for me, but I don't do that Hey traders, this is tosh.
