What’s going on Traders so today was a interesting day before I get into that uh we gave away a free account on the live stream today we’ll be doing it again on Friday if you’re not on the live stream you need to subscribe get notified I go live every day um 1:30 till the end of the day also coupon codes and discounts in the description of the video never pay full price all the best deals are in the description of the

Video so I made actually I made two big mistakes today uh this account you see it’s down 124 I actually bought four contracts um on a move thinking I was in an eval and I was in a funded account so I went from being up three I think I was up 329 or 3 79 to down on the day that was one of my big mistakes um and I kind of got smoke oh and then after hours I played um this

Is my funded this is my funded account and I played some after hours on the Google news and I went from being up like $60 $80 to down I was down 500 and something and made some of it back after hours um yeah but I mean this one this is not a funded account but I’m basically $2,800 away from being over on a takeprofit Trader uh 150 account so that’s pretty cool um but yeah so I mean you could see this

Is an eval got smoked this eval went over so I was basically one for two on evals today so I have another funded account starting tomorrow um this funded account was down a little bit down a little bit and then you can see these were up and then I also have a funded account on my laptop that was up $195 today um I oh yeah my bull KNX I did not pass any bullnox accounts today um but yeah I might try

When we open back up at 6:00 kind of look for a trend I think we’re going to either open or close um not open or close I think we’re going to open pretty far one way or the other from where we’re at now so I’m going to probably grab some micros between 6 o00 and maybe 8:30 tonight and just kind of plan on riding whatever Trend it is for the night um I got to look for a pretty good entry but

I think we’re going to Trend one way or the other pretty much through the night now that uh Google reported earnings um but yeah kind of a mixed bag I mean net net I’m down three accounts I’m up three accounts and then I’m up on you know actually I’m up on four cuz I got my uh my rhythmic so net net I had a positive day if I didn’t make that one stupid mistake this account would be up three whatever and

My day would have been amazing it was just literally one stupid mistake guys just remember look at what account you’re in I didn’t look I thought you know the money was about the same as this eval so I thought I was in that eval but really I was in this funded account kind of messed my whole day up also if you go I kind of got hosed um I think I took a pretty big loss right here I thought we’ bounce

Off of the pivot point and we did not so I took kind of an L there but it is what it is there’s always tomorrow I made a lot of it back and um yeah I mean that’s that’s pretty much it I think tomorrow is going to be pretty big day uh after Google release now so tomorrow’s probably going to move around a bunch and then Thursday morning we have uh huge news 8:30 you got GDP and you got jobless claims

So uh Thursday morning is going to be a big day to move around pre-market but the uh yeah so that’s kind of my plan going forward kind of my recap video I think overall we’re doing pretty well um that’s pretty much it so I’ll see you guys on the live stream tomorrow and we just keep stacking gains and try to get some payouts
