What’s going on guys so not a great day overall price action um it’s not a great day overall unless you were uh trading maybe stocks and options but uh before I get into that we stream live every day 10:30 to noon 2: P.M to 4:30 um I always show you green days and I show you red days so you can see today a little mixed bag I guess this was all done in one trade um this is all copy traded so

We took one trade and that went red I didn’t trade a lot of accounts um yeah it just was uh eh day the price action wasn’t that good to be honest with you it was uh ever since the morning we just basically chopped I mean like I said it was a crappy day for prop firms but like great day for my stock and options account you know it’s like one of those things that that’s why I tell people you take money

From your prop firms and move it into stock and options because you know if today’s a chop day and you’re not really going anywhere at least you can make money with something else um you know today was all about being patient we we caught this which you could see was a rising wedge we broke and that was like it and you can see I have the channel breakout Channel down we broke went up up um we got hosed a couple times

I was in a trade I was in a short and Trump came out with uh a little news which cost us 400 bucks you know a little unlucky um today a lot of chop today I think um I had my bullnox accounts let’s see two funded bul KN accounts are up 315 and 260 so that was good but I didn’t really didn’t trade a whole lot it was a lot of chop a lot of sitting this was one of those days

That you have to really sit and say hey I I don’t have to trade this is patience this is what it takes to be a profitable Trader is being able to sit there and just wait because I’ll bet you a lot of people got chopped up you know long short long you know long short long short next thing you know all your accounts are gone you’re wondering what happened and you didn’t go anywhere you know probably you get right here you

Blew three four accounts and the market didn’t go anywhere didn’t go up didn’t go down but you’ve been in 35 trades and you don’t know what the hell’s going on you know this is where patience comes to play this is where you got to sit you got to wait wait till a level and uh and that’s it there was no really big news today you had the Trump news that’s kind of spark this at the end and then I don’t know

I mean we’ve been talking about this on the daily we’re going to come up into this Zone probably chop a couple days and then probably roll over so we’ve been loading up on Stocking options down here I’m going to look to unload up here I actually unloaded some today and uh you know time to take some of the chips off the table and wait for a pullback and if we keep going up I’ll play the market as is I’ll probably hold

On to a couple things but yeah I mean that’s pretty much it I’m kind of bullish probably another good day up I would probably think and then kind of see what happens in this area um just really didn’t do much I didn’t trade a lot today uh it was a wait and see type day it was definitely a wait and see type day I mean this was a day you just kind of we gapped up huge are we going to come

Back fill the Gap but uh I’m not worried today wasn’t that bad I mean this is all literally a 100 bucks is is like a half of a trade like that’s no big deal so same on the upside like we added a little bucks but like we didn’t add anything monstrous uh obviously you know green is green but we didn’t make a killing we didn’t lose a killing um I got my my funded Futures account up a little bit um it

Was just kind of a blah day you know we had fun on the stream and that’s pretty much it so we’ll be back at it tomorrow 10:30 and uh if you have any questions comments uh come join us
