Sorry guys but still thinking about today and how mental trading is. Just being able to wait for the setups and not just take any trades. Like I said in my other video today was rough, but how are you guys doing?

What’s up guys so I’m back I know I did a recap video earlier today oh it just bugs me so much just bugs me so much I had to make another video um this game is so mental it’s so crazy how mental it is um I just sat here today feeling the need to trade um and you know what happened was um so this is the or bottom I took a position right here and we dropped to the pivot point and

Then we came all the way back um what is it 30 I mean I would have had a hold down 25 30 points I probably I don’t know it was bad um but it goes to show you that you know the pivot Points held up I mean today held up held up um you know this is opened right around one um yeah I mean the strategy works it works so many times the problem is this works this works it works but

It’s all this other stuff when you’re sitting here going oh it’s going to break over vwap and this and that and it’s oh it’s going to drop under vwap and all this other stuff I might I might just clear up my uh I might start clearing up my charts to uh to maybe something like this I mean maybe even just keep it simple I mean vwap definitely uh does play a part for scalping purposes you know you could have scalped it

A couple times couple times broke through um I just like to have it on the chart um you know just crazy just my thoughts are it’s [Music] so um it’s just so mental because you would have to sit here all day to make two or three trades and not look at this and be like oh it’s going to go oh this is going to go the one thing I will say is usually I keep myself preoccupied with some other things outside

Of trading to do um other outside businesses and I basically leave this up and today I didn’t and I was watching it too much and this is what happens when I watch it too much I feel like oh this is going to be the move this is going to be the move um and it’s just not uh my best bet is literally to go back to um just leaving in up on one of my extra monitors um do some work stuff

For uh my own business and um you know just kind of set alerts or set orders I typically do set orders right around and I might go do a little bit of that um just so I don’t get not every day but just to get my mind off of trying to trade all these little moves throughout the day and kind of just focus on on the bigger moves um and rather go heavier on these type of buys than playing all these

Little little scalps um you know and maybe scour the markets for some options positions and things like that like I took a baba position today for um I don’t know maybe October November or December it was it was out there um not necessarily leap but it was definitely out there um so yeah I mean this is where I’m at I’m frustrated about how today went and what better place to vent than uh YouTube so if you guys uh are frustrated with

This sometimes comment and um let me know let me know but you’re definitely not the only one CU I’ve been doing this for a while and I just get days like this and it’s just hard well I don’t mean to reiterate what I did earlier and tomorrow we’re going to turn it back around we’re going to be patient and we are going to profit
