Video 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
