 Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, getting everybody welcome to another edition of the access to trader.com that we wrap up show everybody is doing well. So here's the ironic part, right? And the most amazing part about Wall Street, right? And the securities exchange commission, all that good stuff. They want to make sure that there is a direct level playing field, okay, that institutional investors, retail investors, fund managers, mutual fund managers, pension fund managers, everybody under the sun has the same public information and it's all good and everybody's in the same level playing field. And the most amazing part about Wall Street, okay, it really is just so ironic. Again, there's so many different rules that the securities exchange commission tries to protect the investors. For example, especially a lot of you guys know that if you are under, I think it's $25,000, there's something called the pattern of day trading rule, which basically says the securities exchange commission is trying to tell you that they are protecting you from your yourself because they deem that you are an unsophisticated investor or trader, whatever the case may be. So they only limit you to three, I think three or four day trades, whatever it is for the week or whatever the case may be. And the most amazing part is the biggest irony, okay, of the level playing field is that they are not monitoring what big money is really doing. And if you watched last night's video, okay, and we talked about, and I said, hey, you know, we should keep an eye on BYND. Last week, you started seeing, you know, guys coming in around the stock was 74 bucks or so, you started seeing 500 lots of the 79 weeklies. Now why is that, why is that odd? Well, because the stock was at 74 and the stock was kind of dead money, right? This is all dead money throughout the week. And then we saw more call buying again yesterday, right, random call buying again yesterday. Again, the 79 weeklies, again, why is that, why are these bets being made? Okay, you can't be that good of a market time. Why are these bets being made at that time? And yada, yada, yada, like magic, right, like absolute magic, BYND wakes up today. Okay, it wakes up today, because some people have impeccable timing, again, the fair, the fair and equitable level playing field that everybody's on. And those guys who started buying 500 lots, okay, and had a big bet prior to New Year's as well, they got paid today, right? And they got paid today very, very aggressively. And if you believe in the theory of watching, watching option order flow, and again, as everybody knows, I'm a novice when it comes to options. The only thing I know is buy calls, buy puts, okay, I don't know what iron condors or magical unicorns or butterflies or anything in between this. Again, I'm probably always going to be the biggest novice in the room when it comes to options. But I kind of picked up on something last year, and I started incorporating into my trading, into my pivots and all that stuff. These guys that put these out of the money bets that kind of open up your eyes and raise your eyebrows, right? You know how somebody always says, somebody always knows something? You know what, somebody always does. And the most amazing part is, I can't believe it took me this long, right? It only took me up to like last year to finally start incorporating option order flow into my trading, into my pivots, which is amazing. I was sitting back and just thinking about the other day that I couldn't believe that I actually used to trade without option order flow. It's like literally, you have a pivot, you're waiting for the confirmation, and then you're getting a bulldozer. Literally, you're getting a bulldozer to come in and give you like that extra ace. Like you're holding two aces and all of a sudden, you know, you're just waiting for that extra ace. And the most amazing part is, again, somebody always knows something. So for all you guys who don't use option flow, and again, you don't need to be an option trader. I'm not an option trader. I'm an equity guy. Before you guys who don't use option flow as you're kind of like day to day, you know, like just to see with the color of the market and see who has an ax in the market and how much flow is going into a name, into a strike price, out of the money, all that good stuff. I really would suggest you invest a very, very small amount of money, invest in a product. There's plenty of options kind of scanners out there. Again, I think it's just so much easier to know that smart money or at least money that knows something is going into the trades and makes you that much more confident. And the most amazing part was, you know, this trade started out so innocently, like really, really so innocently. And we started watching some big volume today, right? And, you know, we knew that it was a water flow on BY&E for the last, you know, for the last week or so, 500 lots at a time, the 79, the 79 weeklies. And I was just sitting there, I go, Hey, man, that's 7720 is a big spot. It's really, really a big spot on the daily. And I go, look, if this thing, if it starts to reclaim, right, if it starts to reclaim, again, the big balls, big coal buyers coming in, if this thing reclaims, this thing can go. And this damn thing just, again, it started out so innocently. And then next thing you know, you started seeing 80 calls, 85 calls, 90 calls, 100 calls. I'm talking about one after another. They were just walking in, and they were just blasting these things. Again, maybe, you know, just really, really aggressively. And the stock just took off. It really took off. I thought it had a shot to 81 today. That's what I was saying today in the live organize. I go, you know, there's a shot. This thing gets to 81. And it got to 81, right? It got to 81. And then I went to lunch, right? I went to lunch. And then I see the damn thing trading at 83, right? Went to 83. And it went ultimately 84. So for all you guys who caught this trade all the way, and I know some of you guys are still holding calls and kind of flipped them into the 90s, whatever the case may be. It's just absolutely amazing. Again, I know some PR came out after the close McDonald's, maybe he's not used to whatever the hell it is. It doesn't make a difference. It really doesn't make a difference. The moral of the story is the guys who have the order flow, right? The order flow that dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars, a billion dollars into these bets out of the money. Again, fair and equitable and level playing field. Yeah, not so much. And kind of segue that into Amazon. If you look at Amazon as well, you know, we were talking about Amazon yesterday and we were talking about, you know, I felt the stock was going to go today. And it kind of did sort of that I still like it. It went as high as the 1915. I thought the pivots overall today were pretty good. But again, kind of just to tie a ribbon around this option, option flow activity. We started seeing two weeks ago. Okay, when Amazon was at 1833 1840, they were coming in with size. I mean, these guys were coming in with size. You had the 18, the 1890s, the 1895s, the 1900s, the 1910s. We started seeing the 1950s, the 2000s, the 2100. Again, I understand a lot of it is going to cover the earnings. But damn, these guys just know, man, they just really, really know. And again, it's just amazing how smart money is always on the right side of these trades. I still like Amazon like everything else. If you look at today's activity, again, very aggressive day. Okay, another aggressive day. Seniors are very, very strong yet, yet am you getting up great and the video obviously the video was a really big focus on our list from last night. So is Amazon the ironic part about today's session again, Tesla is just out of control. We don't even talk about Tesla anymore. There's no even point to even talk about Tesla. The most amazing part about today's today's wrap, well, not rally, but today's action was the Dow down 120 points, you have the NASDAQ red, and some of these stocks were acting like the NASDAQ composite was up 200 points. And that's the greatest sign about a bull market. Again, a bull market is here until it's not a bull market is here until there's a buyer strike, and everything is all good. But again, it's just a really, really amazing how the bears have all this ammo, they have all this ammo, they have a forsaking attack, right, some sort of, you know, some sort of, some sort of aggressive nature when I ran on the table, and they still can't stop the speculation money, and they're buying and buying and buying and buying even the stocks that are resting on the day, for example, like at Amazon was only a four bucks a day, again, building over the 1900 level, I still think the stock goes higher. It's just amazing that just there's no fear. Nobody wants to get rid of the shares. And the most amazing part of even a rest day speculation money still gets bid. So if you look at today's session, obviously, this was, I mean, just a ridiculous move, 77 to 85. Okay, I thought it was going to stop at 81. It went to 85. If you held it all the way through, congratulations, but hell, it's a good trade. And there's a really, really good trade. And then you started seeing some pretty good, I mean, like really good pivots. If you watched last night's video. And by the way, you guys, unfortunately, we released by accident, the full version of the video. Okay, and you saw every pivot yesterday and you saw the video and Amazon, like everything. So we did that by accident. But again, hope you guys enjoyed it. Hope you guys enjoyed it. But it was an accident, but you guys enjoyed it. Anyway, most important part again, you can see how bullish I was yesterday. What I didn't like, I didn't, what I didn't like today, Netflix didn't participate, Roku didn't participate, which, which again, if you look at how they closed yesterday, and yeah, this was just kind of a little odd, which I, you know, I'm not really love. If you look how Netflix closed yesterday, I would have bet my pinky toe. And again, thank God it didn't. But I would have bet my pinky toe the stock would have taken out these highs here. And also Roku first closed over the 50 day moving average, you would have, you would have thought that they would have both confirmed, but they didn't, they didn't. And that's why again, I always say you can't anticipate a breakout confirmation. We actually have to wait for the breakout confirmation. So going into tomorrow again, look, news came out, futures are down a little bit after the close. The question is, can the bulls, right? Can the bulls defend levels again? Again, so far so good. I mean, you can just tell so far so good. Every gap down has been bought. And this was kind of like a res day for the indexes. So it'll be interesting to see if the bulls defend any type of gap down if there even is one tomorrow. Gun to my head, I say they do. But again, who the hell knows? Is it really even matter if you're wrong or not? As long as, look, you're going to be wrong every single day with your opinion. Okay, as long as you are monetary solvent, right? As long as you're good to go, you're fine. We make bad choices every day. We may have bad opinions every day. As long as you don't, as long as you are not pigheaded, as long as you are not stubborn and keep on in that one bias when obviously the reality is going in a different direction. So let's talk about today's pivots. Some good stuff. I mean, again, Amazon got defended, the gap down got bought, closed over daily supply, red to green. And obviously, you know, 1901 is a big number. It needs to reclaim and build 1901. Red to green obviously for experienced traders. No, this is not a pivot, just momentum. It needs to reclaim 1909 to go. So Amazon broke the 1901 when red to green went to 1909. The funny thing is, I actually traded Amazon twice today. And twice, I just missed that big move. I had four or five bucks twice on the trade. And I thought it was an explode of 20, and I never made any sales of four or five. I talked about twice. I talked about twice. I look back, I go, oh, shit, that's 10 points. Never took the money off. So the most ironic part is that I actually had a couple of flat trades on Amazon today. Again, we say profits, but again, had so much conviction was going to go. I still like it. I still like it for tomorrow. We're going to wait for, I want to see how it reacts to any type of dip tomorrow into the rising 60 minute channel. Again, Square, again, was this the biggest move in the world? Probably not. 65 on Square got upgraded today. Not a big move at all. But 65 went to like 6550 if you took the trade. I had no interest in it. Netflix, again, never confirmed, very, very odd. Roku never confirmed, very, very odd. NVIDIA just absolutely exploded. Exploded with the rest of the semiconductors. Here was the 238. We talked about this on video last night. 238. And here's the 238, right? 238. And it exploded and went right almost to 42. Why is 42 a big number? Well, because that's a 52 week high. So tomorrow we're going to watch this level for more continuation. But again, big, big move on the video as well. GBT, I still like Verisign. Again, not a big move, but a dollar move, a dollar or so move. It actually broke out yesterday. We talked about that 201 and a half level. It just confirmed today again, went to like 204. Again, trade is a trade is a trade. So if you took that good job there as well, TTD exploded. TTD 280 needs to reclaim. TTD 280 needs to reclaim. It went to 285 and a half. So that was good as well. Shop just went nuts. That opening candle was just outrageous. 416 needs to build. And here was shop, right? Here was the shop 416, right? Here was the 416 level and exploded. Almost the $8 candle instantly. Big, big move there as well. Let's see what else. Shop just went nuts. NVIDIA Monster, Amazon Better, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and everything else was good to go. Again, tomorrow you got to give the bulls the benefit of the doubt. You got to give the bulls the benefit of the doubt. I believe that this dip will get bought again. But again, who knows? So we have to watch early weakness confirmation, early strength confirmation and everything else will fall into place. So let me give you guys some ideas for all you guys going forward. Again, I saw a little bit of volume today that I didn't like. I think it had something to do with the pivots were kind of by accident. We released a video to the public. So I think some artificial volume came in officially initially. Again, there's millions and millions of shares. It doesn't make a difference. But I know how a pivot generally sets up versus artificial volume. So what we're going to do is kind of going forward. We're only going to give you guys non-beta ideas for the day for all you guys who are joining us in the live webinar. Please come to Morning Strategy. Brighten early so we can discuss the beta feeds, the beta pivots. Let me give you guys some non-beta ideas for tomorrow that I like. I kind of like Uber. I do. I kind of like Uber. Nice move today. First close, add a supply. First close, add a supply. If it starts reclaiming 3290, 33 for tomorrow, you could get a nice move up. Again, beautiful. This is beautiful. First close, oversupply. That looks really, really nice. I like this GBT. GBT had a really, really huge run in November. Now it's just kind of basing. If you look at the last three days, 79, 97, 79, 80, and today's high was 79, 99. If it could just reclaim 80. If this thing can reclaim 80, there's a shot. It goes back to 82. So keep an eye on that. And I kind of like this little small cap stock for all you guys who do trade small caps. There was a buyer that came in here. Let me see what it was. He bought 1,000 of the January 5 calls that expire on the 17th. So he's taking a shot whether he knows something, whether he doesn't know something. Anyway, if the stock can reclaim 367, 370, there's a shot. This thing really wakes up. Everything else on for the beta side, guys, please get to morning strategy early tomorrow. We'll talk about Netflix and Tesla and Amazon and the video and everything else. Guys, God bless. Good job. And God's help. I'll see you all tomorrow.
