What’s going on guys so yeah I uh I need the weekend more than anybody um I was away last week for a bachelor party from literally Wednesday and I came home Monday um I’ve been tired all week and uh it showed in my trading but uh I’m going to rest up over the weekend and we’ll be back streaming at 10:30 on Monday um if you follow Along on my options Channel we made about $3,400 this week so that was a uh

Be honest with you lack of sleep over the last I don’t know almost a week ran into this week and it was just not good but uh you know I’m kind of done doing the things the stupid trades for the stream we’re going back to trading to make as much money as possible um what’s crazy was I blew this account today because I was short and I got stopped I stopped out and um and then the short actually happened I um

I took the short right here right in here I took the short and I ended up blowing the account somewhere up here I think and um if I didn’t blow the account it got severely smashed and uh we got we eventually got the short I was looking for which is crazy because I would have gotten I don’t know 150 almost 200 points on the move and uh we didn’t get it we didn’t get it at all um trade of the day

Was obviously if you look right when we broke this trend to the up I had this one we broke it to the down I actually played this short and then um it kind of invalidated it once we kind of popped over the trend there kind of invalidates the whole setup and then we get a higher low and then we break this downtrend up and I should have I did I actually did take it in some of these accounts cuz these accounts

Were actually down about $500 so I flipped them from down 500 to almost 150 up so yeah I mean that was the trade of the day um yeah and you just had to sit and wait cuz this was chop City and then that was the trade out of it uh I love this short this short was freaking money money um yeah I mean once we broke the opening low it it dumped but I was calling it up here basically we got

The trend up and then we came back we made a lower high and then once we broke that that was the short and your stop should have been high a day and um we never came close to touching that so that was why I liked that trade and it it banked um it’s just too bad I already blew this account but overall um I was down today I’m not even going to say I was up I actually made money in my

Personal account I made about a 100 bucks uh just kind of exhaust lost it all all day I’ve been testing out some new indicators um I got some new indicators here uh if you seen on the stream I got another tab with some new indicators so I’ve been testing some new stuff out basically I’m profitable I’m just trying to like really really get um the bigger moves um you know just really take more than just scalps and really go for those

40 Point 50 point moves at least um and that that that’s just you know fine-tuning everything that’s what it’s about it’s fine-tuning everything and um and that’s it I’m going to rest up over the weekend get back to my normal sleep pattern get back to trading and um you know like I said we made $3,400 in options trading today uh not today this week and um prop firm we just kind of treaded water the only accounts we lost this week were

Doing stupid stuff I was doing the Cove Concepts thing um and then I didn’t let I let my bias take over I should have stopped honestly I should have stopped out of the short once we broke at uh 8:45 and I didn’t I was just being stupid so just kind of learned my lesson um I passed another account so I have another funded account and um just kind of focus on profits you know just focus on profits I enjoyed everybody on

The stream and uh I’ll see you on Monday
