Video summary
The video captures a live trading session from the Stock Swoosh Show dated August 13, 2026, where the host navigates a volatile market with an aggressive strategy focused on specific price targets. The trader expresses excitement about entering a position early in the day, noting that the asset was bouncing and potentially heading toward levels of 115 or even 117. Despite the spread being wide initially, the host decides to execute a trade at 99 by 30, emphasizing the need to be in the market immediately while maintaining strict stop-loss orders to manage risk. The atmosphere is energetic as the trader monitors the price action closely, hoping that all participants have successfully entered their positions before the market moves significantly.
As the session progresses, the trader experiences a rapid shift in momentum, breaking out of the established range and eventually exiting the position after squeezing out a small additional profit before the trend reversed. The host reflects on the difficulty of holding day trades compared to options, noting that while the trade looked promising initially, the market quickly turned against them. Throughout this process, the trader acknowledges the uncertainty of the market, admitting that despite feeling bullish, they are not alone in their views and cites a recent Bloomberg report from JP Morgan Chase suggesting that interest rates might be raised at least once before the end of the year. This external validation helps alleviate some of the pressure felt by being the sole voice on the planet regarding rate hikes.
The video concludes with a celebratory tone as the host reviews the successful outcomes for several traders, including Todd who made over $1,200 and others like Jeff and Kisha who also secured exits. The trader expresses satisfaction with the day's performance, contrasting it with the previous day's uncertainty where the market direction was unclear. However, the session ends on a somber note when the host shares condolences regarding Tony's wife, highlighting the personal challenges that can intersect with trading life. Overall, the transcript illustrates a dynamic trading environment filled with quick decisions, emotional reactions to market movements, and a mix of professional analysis and human connection among the participants.

But it would be nice if we could get a
quickie here today.
It would be
wonderful.
So, let's just see.
Let's just see.
Let's see what happens today. [singing]
Whoa. Here we go.
Yay.
Okay, let's just wait.
It's a little spready.
Okay, it's bouncing. Let it do its
thing. Let it go up to 115.
This could even go all the way up to
117.
Where did we go?
Now, wouldn't she be in this yet? You
got to wait.
Okay, we're going to do
we're going to do 99
by 30. There. Get it right now. This is
very aggressive. 99 by 30. Be in it.
It's This could be it if this is
aggressive.
So, just have to stop in. I'm sorry. I
spit it out as fast as I could.
Bob, did you get it?
Bob doesn't like when I'm fast, but you
can see why.
You can see why
you could still do it here. Just put
here. You could still do it here. It's
bouncing up. Just make sure you have the
stop at the right place. We gave it an
enormous cushion. Here we go. Here we
go. Here we go. 112. 112. 112. I hope
everybody got it. Whether you got it
early, late, you got to be in this now.
112.
Hooray. Another good morning. Here we
go. We're almost there. We're almost
there. We're almost there.
Then we'll look at the market. I told
you we were going to have a good week. I
was determined to get into the wink on
Monday and have a fabulous week. And
that is what we did. Here we go. UNDER
112.
Here we go. You could be out, but I'm
trying to hold it. Trying to hold it.
There. We just broke it. We broke it.
Broke it. Broke it. Broke it. Come on.
Crap.
[gasps]
Look at it.
Yay. Anybody else still in this with me?
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Out. Oh, I can't take it. There. Whoa.
It still looks great. It's easier to
hold the option. This could go anywhere.
Well, I think that was a good exit,
though. I squeezed a little bit more out
of it. But here, it's still going. It's
still going. It's still going.
Wow.
Is anyone still in it?
Be careful. Again, easier to hold the
put than it is to hold the day trade. I
think I had a really good exit in that,
honestly, cuz I almost hit it out before
it broke. I got that little squeeze in
there. Here, look. Where did we go down
to 50?
Hold on.
Market's just a big fat nothing burger.
It's a big fat
fat fat nothing burger.
Um, what else? Tony did it. Got out.
Tony, you missed yesterday. I didn't see
you. Uh, Sereni did it. Gerard did it.
Gerard's had no sleep for three days.
I don't know how you did it, Gerard. He
must be on Red Bull or something. Whoa.
Todd made $1,231.
[applause] That is a great train for
Todd. Good job.
Good job, Todd.
Jeff did it and is out.
Um Kisha did it and is out.
I did it.
Well, I I spot the good ones, but you
have to do it. You have to press the
button. So, don't discount that it's
you, too.
So, I'm really happy with this. Why?
Because yesterday it didn't look like
this. So, that's I mean, I went to bed
thinking, well, this looks good. But,
you never know, you know? You just never
know. And again, if we turn around and
look at what's happening here, you know,
I I'm just I'm I'm I'm not bullish on
the market. I'm the only one on the
planet. I still think they're going to
raise rates between now and the end of
the year. I'm really not the only one on
the planet that thinks that, though.
There was somebody on Bloomberg this
morning from JP Morgan Chase that said,
"Yeah, they're probably going to raise
rates at least once before the end of
the year." So, I'm not the only one that
thinks that anymore.
Apple was a good one yesterday trying to
back up. We'll see. This is rallying
and Bob like this. This did go. This did
work. I think we did the easiest thing
of the world. But this is going very big
stop but worked. Very spreadyy as well.
Very spready.
I'm sorry to hear that, Tony. I'm sorry
to hear that. I hope hope your wife gets
well.
That's never good news.
