 What's up, everyone? Happy New Year. It is 2023 and it has been a while since I've made a video. So I'm just going to get right into it. This year I am starting a new account challenge. So I'm going to start the year at $35,000 and I'm going to see how much I could grow my account to. Now, what I usually did in the past is I grew my $35,000 account into $50,000. And then every time I grew it to $50,000, I would wire out $15,000 to pay myself a paycheck as an effort of good faith or good work or good whatever it is. So I'm going to do that same thing. So my goal this year is to grow my $35,000 account into a million dollars by the end of the year. Now, there's going to be a couple of rules that are associated with this account. I'm going to have a max loss on the account. I'm going to have a max size on the account. I'm going to have auto liquidation on the account. And I'm just going to show you guys what is possible to be done using a PDT account. Now, when I first started trading, I really, really, really found success when I grew that $30,000 into $50,000. Because what usually ends up happening is the more money that I had in my day trading account, the more risk I was willing to take, the more confident I was willing to be. But as I was growing my account back in the day, I needed to have some money in the bank and I needed to have a paycheck and I needed to be able to put that money that I made aside in case of a rainy day or whatever may happen. So this year, starting today, I am now officially using a $35,000 account to day trade. I'll be posting my PNLs every single day on Instagram, Instagram.com slash my Investing Club. And going forward on YouTube, I'm going to start doing chart recap videos. So I asked you guys what you want to see more of and the audience on YouTube wants to see more videos of my annotated charts and me recapping it. So I traded a bunch of stocks today. So going forward, I'm going to have these videos of psychology, talking about trading, talking about everything. And I'm also going to be making videos on going over my charts, going over my entries, going over my exits so that we can kind of track this progress of this $35,000 account together. Now, the broker that I'm using for this account is Success Trader. They have seven locate sources, the most locate sources on Wall Street. And as a short bias trader, I need to be using a broker that accommodates what I'm looking for. And for me, Success Trader is that broker that I am using. Now, I'm going to give you guys all the parameters, all the risk parameters later on in forward videos, but today was already a really solid day. I mean, I don't know if I could zoom into this thing, but pretty much almost a $5,000 day on my first day. So my $35,000 account is almost at $40,000 already. And every time it gets to $50,000, I'm going to wire out $15,000 and put that in my bank as a good job paycheck for doing all this hard work. So I'm excited. I want to show you guys what's possible. I want to show you guys, I want to go back to my roots of trading. You know, what I used to do is, you know, grow this $35,000 account into $50,000 and wire it out. But as I became more advanced and as I had more opportunities, I would let my accounts grow and grow and take advantage of really big opportunities with that. And now that I'm kind of don't really need to do that anymore, or, you know, still, you know, I just want to show you guys what I can do. Right. I just want to show you guys what I can do with a smaller account. And, you know, starting an account with $500, starting an account with $1,000 is not really, it's really tough. It's really, really tough, but in day trading, you know, a $25,000 account is pretty much, you know, the PDT account. You need to have a PDT account, right? You know, there's some people that start with $10,000, that's great. Some people that start with $15,000, that's great. But to be a full-time day trader, to be day trading all day long, you need a $25,000 account. And the reason I did $35,000 is to give myself a little bit of a buffer. Right. So that's that. I'll be posting the PDNLs. I'll be posting the progress. You guys could watch the progress. Maybe every month we'll do a review on my broker statements. But yeah, going forward this year, $35,000 account starting today. So let's talk about trading today. So today was a crazy day. We had a lot of runners. VVOS was the main runner that I was trading today, up pretty decent on it so far. Still actually trading right now, recording this video at 12 o'clock market time. So a couple of things happen. Let's first talk about KALA's buy it, right? So today KALA was on buy it. So what that means is after T plus two, after the first day that you trade a stock and you are shorting it, you have two days after to cover that stock. If you do not cover that stock within two days and the broker cannot find a borrow, they will buy you in. What that means is they will just slowly put your order into an algo that buys you in throughout the day. Now, knowing that a stock is on buy ins is very, very important for short sellers because that tells me that I should not be trading that stock today because there's going to be elevated demand from all the shorts that are forced to cover today. So going forward, when I see a stock that's a low flow that is on buy ins, I'm going to look to go long. So KALA this morning opened up at $31. It is currently trading at $50. Stock is up 60% on buy ins. So all the shorts that held overnight that are being forced to buy it is pushing the stock higher, plus momentum traders coming in and buying in the stock. So buy ins for a stock are very, very bullish and the broker usually has a list of buy ins. So at MIC, we find out which brokers are buying in which stocks and that's an opportunity to go long. So that's number one. Number two is yesterday we had a massive, massive runner on JSPR. This stock went from $0.70 to $4. Massive, massive move and collapsed today. So I actually shorted that today around $2.60 and I got out around $2.20 or $2.10 and made a pretty decent amount of money on that today, the backside of the move. Now, what ends up happening on these stocks is when a crazy stock moves like JSPR on day one that goes from $0.70 to $4, the next day traders are looking for that next stock. What is the next JSPR? What is the next runner? What's the next hot stock and oftentimes that next stock, that next runner that is hyped up does not live up to what the primary stock was. So JSPR went from $0.70 to $4. So today, everyone was looking for the next $0.70 stock to go to $4, $5, $6. And that's where VBOS came in. So VBOS was a stock that was $0.70 that pushed all the way up to $3. And now as I'm recording, this is that $2.15. And I think by the end of the day, it should be around $1.50 or $1.80, right? Because what ends up happening is the next runner, the next pump is never as strong as the initial one. So the next runner that gets pumped tomorrow as the next JSPR is already going to be the third one or the fourth one that ran, which means that's probably not going to move as aggressively as each day passes. The runners become less and less violent if they are being compared to the first initial runner, right? So small caps are hot. There's plenty of momentum in the market. We're making a pretty decent amount of money trading right now. And yeah, so hopefully I hope we have a new penny stock tomorrow that's going to be pumped again as the next JSPR that goes, you know, from $0.70 to $2 and then collapse all the way back down. But today was a really solid day because we avoided a KALA because of buy-ins. We did not short it. Not want to short that because of buy-ins and it went straight up. Now we're going to be implementing that strategy to go long. JSPR was a day two stock pushed up on day one, tanked on day two. We shorted the bounce on day two, made money and VVOS was being pumped as the next JSPR, but oftentimes these stocks as each day passes, they are not as strong as the previous day. So solid trading today, really, really happy 2023 starting out on a good front. And I am excited to grow this $35,000 account into a million dollars by the end of the year and I'm going to be documenting the entire journey.
