Paid Myself $50,000 While The Markets Crashed | VLOG Millionaire Day Trader Day in The Life
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video features a day trader reflecting on his successful strategy of taking profits early, specifically highlighting how he withdrew $50,000 to his bank account despite the market crashing shortly after. He explains that while stopping trading around 340 prevented him from making an additional estimated $30,000 as the stock eventually plummeted by another 50%, adhering to a disciplined plan is more important than chasing missed opportunities. The trader emphasizes that consistency with small wins adds up significantly over time, noting that maintaining a daily profit of around $6,000 could theoretically generate nearly $2 million annually without excessive stress or risk.
During the live trading session, he analyzes specific stocks like TRNR and AON, demonstrating his methodical approach to position sizing based on market conditions rather than emotion. He initially entered only 10% of his intended size because there was insufficient "meat on the bone" in terms of other moving runners that day, leading him to remain patient until a clear confirmation appeared. As TRNR bounced off support levels and failed to sustain higher prices, he gradually added small portions to his position before systematically covering dips around 260 and 255 to lock in profits. This cautious approach allowed him to manage risk effectively while avoiding the trap of becoming overly aggressive when the market setup was not fully optimal.
By midday, having reduced most of his TRNR holdings after a significant drop from its highs, he concluded that taking money off the table is superior to gambling away gains on uncertain rebounds. He successfully exited nearly all positions by 9:54 AM, ending the day with a total profit of $33,700 and bringing his monthly earnings to over $10,000 in just two days. The trader stresses that this type of trading is highly duplicatable for others who understand how to identify their best setups and stick to them without panic or greed. Ultimately, he advocates for a calm mindset where one does not feel the need to push for more results if they have already achieved substantial gains, reinforcing the idea that preserving profits is just as crucial as making them in volatile markets.

you can see here last month I made
182,000 so I'm just going to take some
of these profits off the table put in my
bank account and go enjoy the day let's
hit the
button submit bam yo what's up dude how
you doing well some good news we got
that wire from last time to hit so let
me show
you so this is the bank account
let's go
here right here $50,000 there it
is not even ping you huh normal day
normal day but should be more should be
more if that TNR did what we were
supposed to do if you remember last time
we stopped trading trnr
around
somewhere here somewhere here is where
we stopped right at 340 and we made six
grand fast forward a little bit and it
just got
destroyed this right here had I just
fallen asleep for what 2 hours could
have made an extra 30 grand and that
$50,000 wire out should have been maybe
$85,000 so it is what it is that's it we
made the plan premarket we traded the
plan we walked away before even 10: a.m.
yeah what time is it it's 9:54
[Music]
so good morning everyone welcome back to
live trading uh if this is your first
time on live trading welcome we use the
webinars channel in communicate so the
way that we structure live trading is
pretty simple we talk about what's
working in the market what's not working
in the market some recent trade ideas
some trade Recaps uh and then we build
the watch list live and we trade the
watch list live so let's first start
with yesterday so yesterday as you guys
see I started off the month with a good
$6,000 day you know I remind myself that
$6,000 a day is $1.75 million a year so
if I could just keep up that pace it's
nearly $2 million a year with not really
much stress often times a lot of people
forget that you don't need to be making
100 Grand a day 200 Grand a day to make
a lot of money in the market these small
wins always add up so that's kind of
where I'm at from yesterday let's talk
about the trade of yesterday so TRN are
man right when me and Stephen left I
wish I just bumped my head and fell
asleep for 2 hours I could have made an
extra like $30,000 so the stock
selection was correct and the way that
we added was correct so if you remember
yesterday TNR was squeezing up from 350
to 390 it almost didn't feel real it
almost felt like it was like manipulated
up it almost felt like they were
artificially pushing it up so I was just
kind of waiting and then when we got our
signal right right when we got our
signal of this kind of 370 break that is
where I added so I didn't just add based
on trying to fix my average I didn't
just add because I felt like it I waited
to add when the stock came in my favor
and I think that's something that a lot
of people are struggling with is when to
add right you don't add cuz you feel
like it you don't add cuz the sky is
blue and the grass is green you don't
add just because you get a little bit of
a tingle you add when you see something
happen right you add when you see a
confirmation now it sucks because the
biggest move happened after low of the
day broke at 296 and it went all the way
down to $2 this stock tanked 50% from
high to low guys 50% I mean that's a
pretty significant move right so the
stock selection was correct everything
was correct and I was just really happy
with it but I do wish that you know I
was a little bit more patient but it is
what it is how can I complain so coming
into today uh trnr put out some fluff p
are they put out some news press release
about some stupid nonsense but think
about it from the company's perspective
their stock just went down 50% in a day
they are scrambling their PR office of
16-year-old guys are trying to fluff up
whatever type of AI articles they could
come out with to get this stock to hold
up a little bit longer right before the
eventual fail comes so for me what I'm
seeing on this stock is I'm seeing this
is down 50% the stock is broken and the
bounces should sell off right so
hopefully we get a nice bounce on this
trnr today so that's kind of going to be
my main focus of the day so I think the
Market's kind of getting a little bit
more predictable at least in this cycle
which is great that's kind of where my
head is at in the overall big picture uh
let's talk about the indexes so the S&P
500 is down again today and you ask
yourself why is the market down well
Trump just announced that he's going to
be putting tariffs on China and Mexico I
think that the thing here to recognize
is Trump is a negotiator right he's he's
known for the art of the deal so in my
opinion these tariffs are probably I'm
assuming a negotiating tactic to get
what he wants right so I wouldn't be
surprised to see some sort of headline
either today or by the end of the week
that you know what we made a deal with
Mexico you know what we made a deal with
China you know so I think that is kind
of what's going to stop all this
short-term volatility in the market so
that's kind of the headline I'd be
looking out for um but aside from that I
mean overall big picture I'm just going
to be trading the market the same way
that I do every single day and take it
from there so the way that we start with
the watches we always look at the
previous day's watch first and build
from there so Aon had a zombie move all
the way back up to the highs so that was
a really really interesting move uh for
me today on this Aon I kind of look for
a bounce to short I think that we could
probably get away with like 750 8 and
825 with a stop over previous day's high
so
acon uh looking to short 750
trnr broke down 50%
yesterday they put out a Fluff PR to try
to pump the stock up uh I will be
looking for bounces to short ideally
three 320 350 lines uh bog penny stock
not really interested there hollow no
volume not interested Tesla's still kind
of breaking down but my longer term
perspective on that is still the same I
have a 3 to six month hold on that so
we'll let that do its thing um aside
from that uh couple stocks moving today
Mass so mass is a potential hot stock of
the day so probably going to ignore that
mass potential hot stock of today
ignoring for now I think a lot of the
action is in the large cap world today
due to the Tariff news so I think a lot
of Traders are flocking to large cap
stocks today so I'm going to actually
make a note of that as well is uh Ms Rd
GT kind of moving as well but overall
looking like a tad bit of a slower day
today so because it's looking like a
slower day today I'm just going to kind
of size down take a slow and see what
the market gives us Harry also has a
long bias watch list so if you guys are
not interested in shorting Harry our
incredible moderator has a long buas
watch list so that's posted usually a
little bit after me so if you want to
watch that look there but yeah I think
my quotes are messed up again dude this
keeps happening I don't know I think the
data I don't know you guys having some
data issues too happen a little bit too
much pretty much I'm watching for this
trnr to bounce 290 would be great but if
we bounce towards this vwap as well I'll
kind of watch it vwap area is around 28
so we'll watch here let's
see so took a small starter here on this
trnr into vwap so a starter guys is 10%
of my size so I'm not going in full size
I'm not going in all in I'm just taking
a small piece and seeing what happens if
it ends up failing and it ends up
confirming I could just add like right
now it's kind of failing so I'm going to
see if I could add to the winner a
little bit so I added to the winner a
little bit there so I'm not in mega size
guys I'm not in super super aggressive I
took a small starter took a small ad on
that vwap projection and ideally looking
for a 250 break to at least take some
profits off the
table but I'm not really looking for
anything too crazy today guys but I'm
also Saving Room guys in case this
decides to go higher I have some room to
add in my ideal lines right so now we're
getting a bounce let's see if I can get
an
ad 286 I had a little bit so now I'm in
about 20% % of my size guys and looking
for a death candle to add which is kind
of what it looks like we're
getting so finger on the trigger to
add so I add a little bit there
275 and looking for a break under 270 to
confirm so looking for a break under 270
to confirm here we go 260
250 Mas getting some money flow so maybe
if this m SS take some action away from
this trnr we should get a nice fade
Nvidia is bouncing rgt is bouncing
overall markets are rebounding so I'm
still leaving some room on trnr in case
it decides to rebound I'm only in about
20% of my size right now and the reason
why I'm in 20 is I'm saving room in case
this stock does something that I am not
expecting and it allows me to add you
know you can make an argument to add a
little bit more aggressively but
remember what I said at the beginning of
the days is I'm not trying to get too
aggressive yet today if we get Mas to
start halting up and doing some crazy
then that to me would be like all right
you know lot not a lot people are
interested in this anymore and that'll
kind of give me some confirmation but
overall guys I'm sticking to the same
plan that I always have is cover the
dips take it accordingly so 63 come on
give me lower it's dipping down and then
just kind of reclaiming which is kind of
weird it's cuz SSR is probably on but I
do have some open orders just to reduce
on the dips just in case it you know
flushes down immediately so we might
have another retest of 290 or three on
trnr based on the price action so I'm
holding off on adding for now sticking
to my you know 20% size so I'm not
overly sized guys I'm not going in too
big nothing is really too perfect yet so
I'm just staying small and staying
patient ideally if you look at the chart
260 is like support So if this stock
wants to really unwind it's going to
have to break 260 so I do have some open
orders to reduce some of my position in
case it gets
there so let's see covered up some 261
256 so reduced a little bit of my
position locked in some profits low of
the day is 255 so ideally looking for a
255
break and then if we wash out 250 that'd
be perfect no I'm not going to be adding
at 250 I'm going to be looking to reduce
at 250s trnr still patiently waiting for
low of the day to break the bottom to
fall out take my covers and enjoy so
slow and steady let's just get that
break and remember 260 is a support from
premarket so if it breaks 260 I mean the
next support is 240 right how do you
decide what how much of a position to
put in is there a video to watch so
that's actually a good question so it
really depends on what your best setup
is right so if you don't know what your
best setup is then you don't really know
when to size up aggressively so for me
trnr is like you know a day three I
guess or day two whatever ever it may be
there's not really much other money flow
stocks moving it's not really up a lot
it's only up 15% so there's not enough
meat on the bone so it's not up enough
there's not enough other Runners to
distract from it so that kind of tells
me to be a little bit less aggressive
because it's not up enough and there's
not other Runners taking away attention
that's just the way that I
would uh determine this specific stock
today right and just in case guys if you
have not taking at least some profits to
at least give yourself a cushion it
might make sense to do that because if
this thing even bounces to 280 or 290
hey I have some profits locked in right
Mas bounce and fail that's a really big
fail on mass that's definitely a
short that's a big bounce and fail guys
wow I mean if this thing bounces now
this Mas bounces we could definitely
look to short that
251 reduce some 251 250 there we go
that's
it there we go it took some it took some
covers down here around 240 that's it
bro I'm just going to take my money and
enjoy I'mma take my money and
enjoy so I'm pretty much almost all out
of trnr just waiting for my last 100
shares at 248 to fill but that's pretty
much it so I'm going to adjust my order
just to get out of this thing to 252 all
out to today guys and that is it that
brings me to
$33,700 on the day and I am done for the
day 10,000 for the month and it's only
been the second day of the month that is
what that's three grand and 20 minutes
and if you notice guys this type of
trading is very stressfree and you guys
see I'm not really here panicked I'm not
here bugging out I'm not here freaking
out I am very calm cool and collected
here right I'm very very calm cool and
collected so I don't need to push for
higher I don't need to push for
more uh that's my day that's literally
my day so pretty self-explanatory here
man the thing is here guys that the type
of trading that we do is very
duplicatable right it is very
duplicatable it's not like I'm doing
something that is opposite than what you
guys are doing I'm Lally doing the same
as you guys every single day right every
single day so that's it I mean that's
all I got for you guys today what was
the total percentage you traded I was
only in 20% of my size guys I think I
had 15,000 shares maybe right it's not
really that much 15,000 shares on a $2
stock is 30 grand so I made nearly a 10%
return in 20 minutes the S&P 500 takes a
year to make that we did it in 20
minutes that's pretty much it for me
guys I'm going to wrap up my trading for
the day and calling it a day here so
we'll be back at it again first thing
tomorrow morning and and I'll see you
guys at tomorrow's session thanks
nothing else to it that's it dude I mean
that's it we made the plan premarket we
traded the plan we walked away before
even 10:00 a.m. yeah what time is it
it's 9:54 and now you can just chill in
your go no that's it bro out your itti
trip now let my wife do that bro I'm
busy enough I don't need to do that no
but that's it dude that's that's
literally what we do is it going to go
lower again
today it's probably going to go lower
again today but you know what I tell
myself bro is if I'm complaining about
making money and not making more money
then that's really a blessing
right do not gamble away your profits we
made money do not give it away
