Successful trading requires strict adherence to written rules and a disciplined mindset, as emotional reactions and inconsistent execution lead to poor outcomes; traders must separate their intuition from their trading rules, follow their strategy consistently, and recognize that mindset is the foundation for sustainable profitability.

🟢DAY 1899 is a GREEN day! Chaotic start but added to gains with closet trades on IOTR and NEXR 🤷♂️Added:
Some call him Mark.
Others call him the candyman trader.
Candyman trader. Candyman trader.
Candyman trader. He's a Ross Cameron.
Wann to be. W. Want to be a warrior.
Want to be a warrior.
Want to be a warrior.
He's not pretending to be a guru. He's been fighting this market for years. And it's been rough and tough for a long time. Lack of discipline cuts deep. FOMO hits harder. But every single day he shows up smarter and more determined than ever. Want to be a warrior. Want to be a warrior. Want to be a warrior.
Chasing that edge, chasing who he wants to be. Rules on the screen. Mind set on fire. Trying to control that burning desire.
He falls down hard, then he stands up again. Broken some days, but still pushing the wind. The grind is loud. The truth is mean, but he's back every morning.
Chasing green.
Candyman trader. Flawed but stronger.
Candyman tra >> fighting longer. Real heart, real pain, real story on screen. Let's see what the market brings.
Let's see if today turns green.
Now, let's watch those scanners and welcome to the Candyman Show.
All right. Uh, good morning, folks. Good morning.
Welcome to Friday, May the 29th of 2026.
My name is Mark, aka the Candyman.
And, uh, this is day 1,899 of my trading journey. And uh I'm just here to share my journey. Not here to teach anything. I'm not here to pretend that I'm some kind of smartass guru. I don't drive a Lambo. And um I struggle.
I struggle with discipline. I struggle with emotions.
It's been a long hard road, but I still keep showing up. I still believe that this will eventually work if I can get my mindset right and if I can address those discipline issues. So, welcome to the show as we uh we look for stuff to trade. We're looking for lowflat momentum stocks, preferably with a catalyst that are priced between $3 and $10 ideally and a float under 10 million shares ideally. But I'll trade stocks between 50 cents and $50 and uh with a float of uh less than 20 million shares.
Sometimes I'll trade higher float stocks uh if there's proper momentum, but uh we need the right conditions for that. So, and yes, I'm a Ross Cameron wannabe.
I've been uh that's basically the technique or the uh the strategy that I learned years ago and I've been struggling ever since to try make to make it work. So, welcome.
Good morning uh everybody uh in the chat here. just uh took a little trade here on the QTex and uh as I took a position and I was scalping it, I noticed a float and I figured I better stay out of this thing right now. Getting a pop on STG.
STG has a form 6K filed this morning.
currently at VWAP.
Oh, and by the way, I made a good day yesterday. I I made the $23 on um there was I can't remember which one that ran after hours. Had a crazy one, huh? Let's see here.
So, this S uh STG has a $50 million buyback program.
They're selling assets for $126 million.
That's a solid catalyst.
So news came out at 606. At 606 people knew before.
So the news was announced. Oh, there it is.
So news came out after hours last night.
A little strange that the market did not react to it at all till this morning.
This is also a Chinese company.
Yeah. So, STG with news this morning. It uh kind of strange.
Yeah. Going to stay away from that for now. Ox does not know they do have news.
Provided a corporate update yesterday at 4:20 p.m. People reacted to it positively.
Not sure what the corporate update was.
Okay, they did not file. I wouldn't touch Ox.
Other than that, the scanners look relatively quiet. PRFX is the leading gapper.
Oh, I think that's the one I traded.
Yep.
Yeah, I caught uh PRFX at a good spot at about $4. I sold at six and uh I watched it go. I was so tempted to get back in, but I didn't. I had a significant gain on it, so I didn't want to mess it up.
So, PRFX Oux was the number two here. NE XR.
I don't see news on that one. We also had the GME X.
They had a letter from someone IOTR. I think we did that.
And then BNRG and BIA. All right. So, we're just going to wait for something fresh to pop up with news on the scanners or or anyways, that's the that's the plan.
I've put some kind of volume profile thing here and I can't take it off.
Oh, there they are.
There we go.
All right. Good morning, folks. Thank you for being there. I see Matt 505 me name again.
Yeah, mask was uh quite the thing yesterday, right?
watching Olak's too expensive. Yeah, for me anyway. Yeah, it's the spreads are pretty big on it.
How do I create those songs? I do it with Suno AI.
And I got a couple more bangers coming your way.
Just found a scanner on YouTube live stream called a crane monitor.
I can monitor. I'm curious.
It's pretty It's pretty quick.
They got a chat going on.
Interesting. Thank you for that. Um, uh, no, I don't know how to pronounce that.
No, no, I'll call you W99 or just 99.
Arcane. I wrote a crane. Arcane monitor.
Wonder if it scans for just anything moving or if it's got some uh settings.
Nothing is better than RAW scanner.
Yeah, they're hard to beat. They're hard to beat just because that's what we're looking for, right? If these scanners were set up with like this one, I am I'm looking at the arcane for the first time. Um, Hall of Embers. They got funny names. I I I find that uh we're seeing a lot of these different types of scanners and there's got to be a relatively easy way to get data and then, you know, create some kind of software to uh to follow the stocks.
Shouldn't be that hard, but I'm not uh I'm not a programmer.
But looking at their the hall of embers here, their top top gainers seems to be um it seems to be uh geared towards low float stocks.
I know there's a couple of big ones there, but they have the green ones that seem to be low float. The yellow ones are midflat. Over 20 million shares, maybe.
Very interesting.
It's calling for O L X stacking. Know if that's exactly stacking, but well, we'll keep that in the background for now. STG on the scanner.
STG so far would be the one to focus on, right? We have a price between $3 and $10. The float is at 10 million shares.
We have fresh news.
So, those things check out. But when I look at the daily on this one, to me, it's not super clean or clear. And that's one of my requirements. We I I want to see clear identifiable levels.
Just going to mute that.
So I don't I identified 521 and 645.
Where are we here?
Yeah, we're struggling right at that level, right? 645 there. Whoops.
So, I guess 650, call it 650. From 650, there's a level at 7, but again, it's not, in my opinion, super clean or clear.
I like it when the levels are really obvious.
And this one, holy jumping.
The overall daily chart looks like a top left to bottom right with a lot of chop here. So that's the chop I don't like. I don't you know it's all the way up to $15.
If we back out in I don't know 1257 12 1250 is kind of an obvious spot there and it's Chinese. It's also a foreign company. So, the other thing too with this one is that the news came out last night and there was just zero reaction to it.
Came out at 4:30. Didn't even get a little pop or zero action.
And then this morning, for some reason, it took off.
We'll see what it does over 650.
If it can start pushing over 650 could might get interesting.
The daily gap between yesterday's close and current price is too big.
Yeah, it's a huge gap.
CYCU getting a pop here. CYCU, it's a cheaper stock.
They had news last night at uh almost 1000 p.m.
So that they can only react this morning. Now we're breaking over the $1.
What happened here?
The frig is this.
So big rejection on cyc.
Don't have enough volume here. We'll keep it on the watch though.
It's got the right float. It's a cheaper price point.
Where are we at here? So, and there's a level here at 150.
We're all the way down here. So, again, it's not super clean.
The news does not sound that great either. So we keep waiting.
So why did you get in CYCU at 92 cents?
because of the news yesterday.
So you got in yesterday morning I suppose Yeah. Yeah. Know I'm following along here. Shooting star. I just don't know that it's something I can I would um I would understand and feel comfortable trading.
STG going off here.
So, we're approaching the sevens. We crossed over that spot there at 650 STG.
So, let's see if we can break seven.
Think we're going to get the break of seven here.
7 or 750.
Don't like that we lost the 660 here.
661 67.
CYCU taking off over 123.
Got to hold that white line there. Yeah.
Shoot.
See why I see you still hitting the scan.
Maybe we go there.
So 130 trying to buy the little dip here.
Trying to bite these dips, you know, but not used to it.
125.
I'd like this thing to pull away from the one like break 140 hor that'd be nice maybe 150 60 70 there's room to 180 if we fill the gap completely up here and at 145 just using small size at the moment I just got out of that. It's just We're not pulling away here.
STG SG about to break the seven.
See you.
We got two stocks here with news. Um, this one feels a little riskier at a dollar thing.
What am I hearing? Jesus.
What I'm really curious about is how and why would you buy at 92 cents on this stock?
That's the part I don't understand.
It'll bounce off a VWAP. Maybe Going to go back to STG.
Break up seven.
Oops.
I think we're going to get the break of seven here. That's what I plan.
Stop would be 678ish, 671 at the worst.
So stock is up 145% on 11.5 million shares of volume.
There it comes. There it is.
All out. I don't like that spike.
Made a bit of money back, but uh didn't sell quick enough. I sold at 7:15 and 719.
So that's a big rejection there. Big topping tail.
All right.
CLK getting a pop here. CLK, they've acquired a company. It's a very low float stock.
291.
We have $4 on the left.
Little pullback.
350 to 4, maybe even five.
Holding 10. Yeah, that's that's not good. Nasty pullback.
We're still in that first five minute candle.
We need to get back.
Had a really low float.
All right. I think uh I think I'm a little too uh all over the place here.
So, why did I get get a ding here?
All right. I'm not patient. I'm not patient.
Get out. Get out.
I tried this scaling out and uh should have sold everything at 302. I saw it kind of reject. Got out a bit. Should have sold everything.
It might still go back up here.
We're still We're just in the first five. I should have waited for the first five minute to close.
We need to close over 265.
ish.
Um, I'm just going to check. I might be getting a delivery.
That'll be a bit early though.
Olock's coming back up. O L X click.
Got 50 seconds to go on that candle. PF PRFX getting a pop.
W NW. W I'll be right back.
WW moving, but I don't see news. It's Chinese. It's an ugly chart. There's a clear level at six or seven.
Might be going there, but it's just a little too uh choppy.
How's click doing? Keeps going down.
CYCU.
Again, this action we're getting in the morning with the moves that are not sustained is really, really annoying.
And uh I find like in the afternoon the moves, they're easier to read.
It's um interesting.
Off to a shaky start there, Nova. I agree. That's why I'm just sort of backing off here. Just going to let a bit of time go by. Calm myself down. Not that I'm excited or anything. It's just um you know, I'm doing it wrong.
Catching the bad moves, not selling quick enough.
It feels like when I'm in the morning like this, I noticed that yesterday again and it's doing it again today.
It's um nervousness and anxiety quickly surfaces in the morning. When it's in the afternoon, it's like it's almost like the opposite. I'm way more selective. I'm more I'm way more calm.
Um I don't feel like my head's on a swivel kind of looking everywhere. It feels like I'm in control. And when I'm in the morning like this, I don't know. I got a green trade.
Of course, I want more. So, I I'm forcing trades. I'm forcing trades, I think, this morning. For me, you know, you you can do what you guys do, but for me, I think I forced a little bit here.
Did not get quick out quickly enough.
a little bit of wishing and hoping, but I'm starting to catch this uh in real time now. I still kind of screw up a little, but it's not catastrophic.
I keep thinking, well, you know, when June comes around, June, you know, will be very serious. We're going to try and make a dent.
And June is like next week.
Yeah.
STG with that nasty rejection there on high volume, it's going to be really hard to trust it.
So maybe we simply wait for something fresh.
It is Friday also.
And right now the market looks kind of quiet.
PRFX coming back over VWAP. WNW going.
Will it break the six?
No. Yeah.
Got room to 650 here on the left. Little gap to 7 711ish.
I'm not participating in this one because I feel like I'm just chasing uh something.
not knowing what it is. And I don't want to do that given that I've taken three red trades in a row.
So, just going to exercise a bit of discipline here. Self-control.
again. Losers are stopping. No.
I came to see if he got caught in STG, but like I didn't think five see me name. The thing with uh what what you're describing is I I just don't understand the logic. Even yesterday um the one you bought at 92 cents. I it it's that relative volume pop, but how often do those work?
It's very peculiar.
Yeah, Ross cuts quick losers quickly.
Oops.
not buying that breakout on WNW because there was no catalyst. Um, it's a Chinese name and uh I just take I just took three losses in a row and uh instead of just going with my gut feeling and wanting more and keep trading, I I just I'm putting the brakes on a little bit and uh something like WW makes it easy because there's no news. It's Chinese and um it looks choppy looking at this action here in here. This would be really difficult to to manage risk, you know. Maybe I should have done that for the three red tickers I took. Maybe not CYCU. That one was quick enough, but STG and Click stayed a little longer. I think I even went back in. Olock's taken off here. Oux may be running for the $10 tag.
Ox that one. We know why it's moving. There is a catalyst.
Think we're going to go to a a 10 here.
954.
But the top Mac, I still think we're going to 10.
16.
Actually, I was going to try and scale out, but I think if I get my target, I should sell everything here.
Do it half and half.
KIDZ getting a pop with fresh news.
Here we have increasing volume.
Magnet just crossed over on the 10 second. Jesus.
That was a low volume pullback.
I'm not being patient enough today.
not patient enough to wait for a proper setup. Just kind of jumping in. And I do that more in the morning, like I said, earlier than uh later in the day.
There we go. Come on. We can go a little higher. Don't you want to break 10?
I'm just holding the line here because I'm seeing the volume uh is big green, small red. So, usually that's a good sign. We're holding that $9 level.
And when I look at the daily, there's a clean clear level at 10. So I, you know, and then there's more upside. But in my mind, we we should hit 10.
We've reached a 990. I don't like this wick here. So that's why I'm nervous right now. The 991 wick.
See LK getting a pop.
Trying to get back over to VWAP.
God damn it.
holding for way too [ __ ] long.
Whoops. Sorry.
Excuse me.
GMEX getting a pop. That's news from yesterday. It's a low float stock.
GMEX. I'm still holding here. Um, more than 10% of the float is short on this.
Can we get a squeeze over the 10?
So coming back to those purple lines again, we can't lose those.
G RN low float stock of 5 million shares. No news, but it's uh it's moving.
G R.
Why am I being so stubborn? I'm stubborn because I'm seeing the 10. I think we're going to break 10. 991 is pretty damn close. You could consider that the zone and it's on the topping tail now. You're losing volume. You're tickling those purple lines and you're still holding.
Yeah, because if I sell and it pops the 950 and breaks out, that will be worse pain than taking a a relatively small loss. I'm not giving enough importance to my freaking money is what's going on.
So why do I extend the pain and suffering here?
Cuz I got married to the idea that we're going to break 10.
Why don't you Why didn't you just get out and wait for it to break? Now you're confused.
Mark crept in there. Maybe Mark is very present in the morning and the candyman comes out later.
I can't read the chat right now because I know you guys are giving me [ __ ] and I deserve it. I get it.
And uh you know, I want to be right.
Don't get a bit of pop there.
935s, 936, 940. Now printing 930s, 32.
There's 5860.
Going to sell some there. One half there. There's my 10. And I'm out.
That's not enough to make it all back.
But we did get 10.
Now I feel okay.
Jazzmation with $3. Thank you. Thank you. You're covering half my losses.
Yeah, I know. What if it doesn't and it flushes on you? See, that's the part that is really hard in trading. And it's I think that's why there's it's the ongoing struggle.
you know, I I have an idea sometimes and um I don't believe in it enough and I get out quickly. I don't take enough money of profits. Now, this one can run and keep going above 10. I don't feel bad about it at all. I got what I thought it would do. So, now we filled the gap and we're past this split.
I mean, it could go to 12, 15, 20 bucks, but at this point for me, over $10 starts to get a little tricky. Um, I've I'm not performing at my best this morning, obviously.
And um you know I'm trying to I'm trying to improve trying to improve and stick to my guns and cuz you know I can't I find it astonishing the amount of stocks that I'll see levels on it and my mind just says yeah we we should reach 10 and also we had that in the after hours last night so I thought we should retest the 10 and And as it's pulling down, I kept thinking, just bail, just bail. And I was like, no, you're bailing out of fear. The move is still good. Yeah, you're you're below what you're And this is what I struggle with. I was below the max loss, right? Or for that for that trade. I should have gotten out, not to lose too much, but I saw something.
I can't explain it any other way than saying there's enough momentum. I did mention I like the profile of the volume. We know we have these these big green candles, smaller red ones. That's usually a bullish signal for me. And I got a little nervous as we you know those purple lines. I've just started using those about a month ago. I'm using a 65 and a 90 moving average on the 10-second chart. kind of weird, but I just played with the the numbers until the I could see that the um the lines were matching what I wanted to see. You know, it seems to be showing where support is.
I don't know.
It seems to be helping.
And when we cross the first kind of pink line, to me, that's the warning sign. If we lose the second line, you should bail. So, I almost bailed on this one.
And I I kept thinking, how can it not go to $10?
And I'm just nervous here. I got three red trades. I think I should hold. Came back up. It crossed back over that pink line. I was like, "All right, you could say I got lucky. I wouldn't disagree.
Maybe a bit of luck combined with a good intuition.
If only I could listen to that a little bit more.
So, so it is what it is, you know.
Such bad thinking for a small cap trader.
I don't know about the time delay. See, now it's going 11:50. Should have I should have held it.
Yeah, I'd be up nicely on this. So, OLAX's breaking out. So, next level we see that's clear and identifiable is 16 bucks. I see another level at 21, but we're past the split here. So, nice move though.
Also, this was according to the data I have here, it's shorted by 100,000 shares. And if we have a 900,000 float, that's uh well over 10% of the float is short. And that's a big move, right? So, if people didn't bail out already from their short position, maybe they're starting to cover. Maybe that's what we're seeing is a nice short squeeze.
Maybe people tried to short it here at 10. can do it. It popped back up.
Very nice move.
Yz with news.
Yeah, they keep putting out news. Um, PRZ. Oh, I think this is an Israeli company. It's a penny stock.
It's a 21 million float.
If it gets back over the I I need the the all the way up here 75 cents because if we can, you know, at 75 cents, we're sort of breaking uh the highs of yesterday and looking at the daily, there's a level at 80. If we break 80, we're likely to uh keep popping here maybe to reach that $1 thing that we need to be at to stay listed on NASDAQ.
It's a really bad chart.
RZ.
Oh my god.
Thank you. Uh, thank you, Threeput Jack.
I don't think my volume is up here.
There we go.
>> Just want to make sure I didn't miss any other super chats. Jazzmation and three put jack or two put jack three putut jack. Thank you very much.
Appreciate that.
Glad I'm providing some kind of value.
I didn't even bring up Ross yet. Let's bring him up.
Oh, I got my delivery, guys. I'll be right back.
Okay, come on.
So, my cream is in. Now, I'm expecting uh more ingredients.
Big deliveries today.
Sorry to use your chat for my own personal gain. Thank you. Well, you're welcome. That's why it's there.
Whoops.
Ross is up 10 grand on Ox. He probably bought over 10. I bet you. Yeah, that's so funny.
I'd like to see his first buys.
Nice. Happy for Ross.
Just going to peruse here and look at the stuff that just showed up on the scans.
KZ So looking at the daily on this, I I noticed the three splits, right? 120 for 1, 64:1, and 10:1. So if you notice, there's a split here at about 1,400 bucks. And if you look past the split, we had this big spike following the split, but after when we lose that level, it never gets back over it. And then second one here.
So we split here at the $74 level. It goes down, pops back to 89, never gets back to that level.
So when splits happen and the price goes up uh higher than the previous split um it's always at you know from my my perspective it's a danger zone like I don't think this will ever well again it's the market anything can happen but I'd be maybe 16 I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 16 but if we start pushing over 16 I'd be shocked.
There's kind of a level here at 12ish.
So, oh, there it is. It's popping 12.
I'm not trading this whatsoever, but just want to learn here.
And it also has a very tiny float.
So anything is possible.
So tap 12 rejecting 12.
Anything over 12 is going to be I think very choppy. Looking at the daily makes me think uh yeah, we'll see another topping Dell. We had one here.
What's the volume here? Uh 11 million shares.
The more I look at the scanner and the more it looks like a Friday morning scanner.
meaning there's not much here really to uh work with. So this one becomes the central focus.
So maybe we do get quite the extension here.
See the way it's moving now for me this is completely unmanageable. You could argue I did it down here, but down there I felt comfortable. I felt in control. I I despite the pullbacks, I felt like 10 was feasible. But over 10, a little risky. Over 12, I'm starting to think if this could drop five bucks, you know.
So, I wish you all good luck. Seems to have momentum.
Oops.
Interesting.
Wow.
All right. I had to read it a couple times here to make sense of it, but uh here's a tidbit of information uh regarding my trade on Ox.
Uh, you buying O LO X when you did and holding is like showing up at 8:00 a.m.
and telling people, "Look, the sun is going to set." You holding it until it reaches 10 is like waiting there and wasting your whole day until the sun sets just to say, "See, I knew it was going to set. That ain't it, sir. Timing and scalping is a big deal." If you cut it at your stop loss and got back in when it started to curl, it would be like you going to a productive all uh to be productive all day and then just come back for a welldeserved sunset.
Dang.
Again, this is just bad execution.
I got green on it because I'm stubborn, but that's not the way to do it.
Fair point. Fair point.
And if I would have bailed quickly, as soon as it pulled back, I would have seen when it came to these purple lines, we got support. I could have bought right here as it broke back over that pink line. And even here, get confirmation at 924.
It pops up. I'd be in a much much better position. So much so that I could have probably held at the 10 for the you know continuation.
Very good point. Even when it broke 10 here it went to 1060. It pulled back it held 10.
We would have seen that it's holding 10.
And if I like to buy breakouts, my confirmation was at 1068. We break the top. We could have gotten back in another trade there.
Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Nice. Christopher made five bucks.
I don't think you guys are trying to deceive me. I deceive myself when I read the chat. Don't get it wrong. You know, when I'm ignoring the chat, it's not because I don't value what you guys are saying or I don't believe what you're saying or anything like that. It's I have issues. And when I read the chat again, you guys could be talking about the weather and I just catch a glimpse of something, it it just it throws me off. And what can I tell you? It's a I'm weak. I'm weak.
It's what I do, you know. And I just saw, you know, a comment there just as an example. Uh Christopher says, "Made five bucks on Olu. I could be trading something else, right? And I'm focused.
I'm glancing over Olu's five What am I missing? Am I on the right one? I just get nervous that way. So, don't take it.
It nothing against you all. It's just uh I distract myself with the chat and I I know that if I do that, I'm very likely to screw up more than what I'm doing.
So, no disrespect, it's purely uh to preserve my uh mental capital.
And uh I do appreciate all the comments, the feedback and interactions. Very thankful you guys are there.
Rick fan uh says if you put a 20-day Yeah.
Yeah. A known POSOS company says Zamora.
You know what Zamora 99.999% of the stocks we trade uh for lowflat stocks are garbage. None of them have uh most of them. Anyways, that's how I that's how I approach them. They're all garbage stock.
Just look at the charts, you know, top left to bottom right, tons of splits.
None of this is good, but they're good for trading. They're good for getting in and out quickly when there's liquidity.
Mhm.
So, it did reject 12.
Still flying above VWAP at the moment.
And we're losing these purple lines again.
STG. G.
STG trying to cross back over VWAP. My level of interest is 650 on this one.
Um, yeah. So, these guys have a uh $50 million share repurchase program and they're disposing of I think it's $120 some million dollar worth of assets.
I think they sold a subsidiary of their company, but it's Chinese, so that's a little red flag.
And I made a mistake earlier on this one. STG, I thought the news came out at 4:30 last night and I mentioned that we didn't get any movement after hours, but it's actually 4:30 this morning.
So, news came out at 4:30. By 5:30, people are on it.
We climb up to 750. That's a double from there. 100%. The stock is up 105 at the moment.
So, we pop up. We come back sideways.
That's a lot of chop. You know, the the chart kind of looks nice. Looks like we're, you know, developing some kind of bullish pattern, but it's very uh, you know, it goes from five to seven 750 actually. So, you have like a $2.50 uh, spread in a way.
That rejection wick here is bad news.
Now, another thing I've been contemplating or thinking about is uh my sizing. I use dynamic sizing. I try to adjust for every different price level that I'm trading and I try to max my size as much as possible. and I used a calculator and um what I'm slowly noticing, maybe it should be really really obvious, but what I'm slowly noticing is um I guess it's a little more difficult to to adapt size cuz sometimes I size up on cheaper stocks and when they start to pull back it's it's way more than I expect or it kind of surprises me.
But the same thing happens when to the upside, right? If I if I size in properly and we get the proper upside, well then it's a big reward. And I I'm really not good at stopping out quickly.
So that combination I think is uh is not good. I need to to remedy that somehow.
Actually, let me take a couple of notes.
7:55.
Now, there's another thing that I've noticed that when I don't do, it's on days that I things don't go super well.
It's when I don't take enough notes. If if all of a sudden my last entry was 6:18 this morning, and I say ready to go and then my next note is at 7:55 following uh five different trades. No notes on any of my trades. I just have one here for Q uh TEX.
Uh the fact that it had no news.
Did it have news this morning? In any case, I said no news and the float was wrong and I got green on it.
Oh yeah, that's the one just before I went live actually. So that's my only note. That's usually a sign that I'm not focused and following the strategy here.
So, um, not focused.
Head on a swivel, not respecting stops. And that last one was really dumb. You know, I I'm a I'm basically a scalper. I try to get, you know, 5 10 20 cents more if I'm lucky.
And uh I need to respect my stops. If I would have stopped out really quick on that one, I would have had the opportunity to get back in. So, oo Yeah, me name can be can be a lot for some people.
But that's the thing, right? If there's uh people on the chat that you find talk too much or you know share information you're not you don't care for, you can always mute people.
very useful tool.
Hey, good morning Dave.
I trade the same shares on any stock.
Yeah, I think it's what I should do. I think, you know, well, not should, but it would be a little easier having the same size all the time because then your your stop loss, your your goals and stuff, I guess it's easier to sort of manage.
It can't give me at least 10 cents. I don't touch it.
Yeah, I I do have a bad habit of getting in stocks without even thinking of where it could go.
Sometimes, most of the times, I try to uh to look at the daily because that's one of my requirements. I want to see clean, clear levels on the daily. If I don't see them, uh I always hesitate.
You know, it's it's difficult. That's the struggle. You got to check the check the check. Got to complete the list. You got to verify. You got to manage risk.
And uh you got to take trades while you do all that stuff.
But it's a little bit like driving a car, I suppose. You know, you when you first start driving and you're new, everything feels uh awkward and um you're you're sort of paranoid, you're extremely careful, you're watching everywhere, you're nervous, and the more experience you get, the easier it gets. And all of a sudden, you're driving without even having to think much of the float. The float on that one's just wrong.
C R E HBC getting a pop here.
Cheaper stock.
H te X.
Keep an eye on click.
Yeah. Click with news at 7.
Big pop. Did it have news a couple of days ago? Didn't we? Yeah, it's been going up for the past couple of days.
Kind of interesting. So, oh, it went all the way to 320. So, it filled this gap here.
H 200 is at $8. So, we have room to the upside. What's popping here? Our EPL our EPL breaking out. It's a higher float stock. I wouldn't touch this one personally, but there's definitely room to eight for sure. Uh maybe nine here, but it's a higher float. 51 million shares for the float. It's traded. Uh let's bring up level two. This is going fast.
Oops.
our EPL.
There's momentum here. This is very tempting, but I'm going to stay out just because of the float.
And fresh news at 8:00.
H.
So, the stock was up. Now, the news is out and we're getting a pop.
There's room to nine.
Yeah, I'm just going to stay out. I feel like participating because I see momentum and to me that looks like a $9 stock. Maybe it breaks out at nine.
Oo, there's 23 million shares short on this stock. 23 million shares short.
I don't see any splits.
Interesting.
Nova shorting our EPL.
What's popping here? QTE X again.
Just on a little curl up.
Now, same thing for Ross. He's watching our EPL and he finds the float too high.
Not going to touch it. Easy to borrow.
stkh.
So no news on stock stakeholder foods Israeli company.
It's got the right float multiple splits.
It filled the gap already. 286 would be the gap. Yeah.
213 level at 213, 283, and 396 with no news. So, we would need some kind of catalyst to to push it up.
Looks like a pop and a drop.
I'm seeing MX higher float. No news.
Hubc getting another pop here. HBC man gives me vibes.
So we have a level at 30 cents on this.
Might take a a 25 cent stock here. Hubc moving up very nicely.
Break of 30 cents coming up. 27 2843.
All out. Made a whole 15 cents on that.
I'm going to just monitor this one. I think there's a level at the 30 to 32 cents kind of thing.
Will it get there?
thinking of what me name mentioned yesterday with those uh like that big red day here.
What was that all about? Right.
So this could be a little Are we curling up VIVO again?
This one's been uh uptrending nicely.
levels at uh 789.
We're at 594 VIVO. No fresh news today.
It looks like a possible continuation play though.
Sofi going apeshit.
And this one I'm going to keep monitoring. Well, which one again? So things look quiet.
Yeah. So, you think that's the case, eh?
528.
H.
spreads are really tight here on HUBC.
It's sort of holding that level here.
Looking at those purple lines again.
Yeah. Had to bail out of that.
Um, Hubc See you.
Yeah, I think this one here for my stop.
I struggle with that. I struggle. It's a HBC playing with fire, I suppose. Right.
Can someone explain why Candies uh is doing buying HBC tops?
I can't sit still.
Um Uria, yes, it is much harder to be patient with an audience. Definitely it slowed down. Yeah, it's the the audience part is um I don't think it affects me. Like maybe I'm just in denial. Um I don't know. But it's a it's it's something to keep track of, you know, just be mindful.
TEM floats too high. I still like HUBC There.
Yep.
See, I can't that's that's the problem.
mean and when I see comments like that that it completely kind of throws me off cuz I'm I'm thinking one thing and now I'm trying to make sense of what you guys are saying and I think that's the worst time to try and uh and do that. I think you know reflecting on it might be an idea but in the moment uh for me I can only speak for myself in the moment it completely derails me and that's on me you know I'm the one reacting to that the EVS is another cheap stock you're moving.
TEM the float's too high, but they do have an FDA approval, so that's usually big news, but too expensive and floats too high.
Punisher. Let's hope for fresh news at the bottom of the hour.
How is ESTC doing this morning? Oo, that's kind of interesting. It's kind of holding up there.
ESTC QTE X Q is a fresh IPO. It's the leading gapper this morning.
PRFX below VWAP.
OOX I'm not interested.
WNW no news. GMEX.
Jesus. All the top gainers this morning uh are all looking not so strong and none of them have news.
Click has news.
did cu have news.
This one's coming off.
I think I might be getting my delivery.
I'll be right back.
I'm just getting my delivery here, so I can't take a trade.
Um, I knew it.
I just knew it.
HBC I'm going in and I'm just going to hold this position. I'm just going to hold it.
No, I was taking a delivery. Just got my ingredients in.
CMND.
I like that stock. Good old Canadian company working in the silo cybin department. CM and D.
It's got room to six.
Oh, I sold. Thought I bought sold.
Um, yeah.
So, how many people were saying to get out right again? I I And now I'm playing with the chat. I shouldn't do that. I'm I'm annoyed at myself. I'm annoyed at myself.
It's a business as usual on this Friday morning. Roller coaster rides.
Feeling um feeling annoyed.
I'm still holding to my HUBC and I'm not touching it.
If anybody's listening to Ross on this, how how can it possibly work? This is insane.
And I it just it reinforces for me the the the thought that, you know, trading is a very personal thing. And uh when you're trying to give your recipe to someone else um you you have to you have to understand that that person needs to be thinking exactly the same way you do.
They need to have the same kind of baggage you do, same account size, same objectives, same limitations, same sort of pour, you know, and um if you're just trying to to learn a recipe and uh you don't fully understand it, but you're just trying to follow I'm just speaking for myself here. Feeling very annoyed this morning. Um, yeah. 512X. Actually, Ross, you should see that 518. Actually, I'd be I'd be concerned at 518. So, now that we're close to five, you know, it could pop to 518 and pull back immediately and it could break six and keep going.
This is a company that will eventually work, I believe.
So, maybe I'm biased cuz I'm Canadian, but on the daily chart, there's a clear level at 518.
Let's mark them off. I see 518 down there. I see the top here at 6 602, which was support here, support there.
It broke down. We're coming back to it.
I think it has room to six.
Doesn't mean it's going to go there, but I certainly if I get in, that's kind of the objective I would have.
I wanted five. I sold at 474.
Accidentally though, I try I was trying to add at 474, but I sold my position.
So, break up five.
There we go. 502.
We didn't print it though.
Yeah, five is getting tricky cuz you're getting into that resistance.
Five to six might be tricky. Might be very choppy and or could break right through six.
CM andd with news this morning. It's a 1 million float.
Looks like we had support down here. So, that could be another good spot.
A little breakout.
I'd be more like for me the way I look at this I'd be more interested over six.
I think I could see things more clearly above six. From five to six to me might be tricky.
See, I'm trying to figure out what Well, I know what he's trying to do. And he gets in and out. He keeps getting in and out, trying to catch the upside.
Now, one could argue, how can the goat not know this is going to go up or down?
How can he not know? Why is he not just buying since he's thinking of it?
Because we all do it differently.
And despite, you know, his rules and his system and everything, uh, he has it down to a science kind of knows what he's doing.
And you know, for the unsuspecting noob out there looking at this, trying to do what he's doing is uh it's it's a recipe for complete disaster in my opinion.
But it's the hook. I think it's the hook. You know, you watch him do it and you see the big profits and people trying to learn and getting into trading. They see that and it's like, wow. Like, so why not buy the dip here, right? Looks like we're at support.
Why don't we just all load in here?
Every time I'm trying to buy on support or buying on pullbacks, it always feels to me like that's the backside of the move. If we're starting to go down, it's done. So, why would I buy when we're pulling back? You know, it's it's it's hard for me. It's uh I like to buy when I get confirmation.
It limits my gains. I understand that H He gets in and out because he's the goat. The goat is the true scalper, not a hope and hold.
Oh boy. Hey, there is no ego for him on being right about his price prediction.
He only cares about making or losing money. Risk management is the name of the game and that's a true scalper.
Yeah, I think I I call myself a scalper.
I'm trying to get in and out quick, but I'm not super efficient. That's uh You don't need to be a genius to notice that. And um Yep.
The struggle is real. June is coming up and uh Yeah, I know. It's the rules part that's uh an issue.
And I still haven't come up with uh the actual rules because well, they're written down. It's just I, you know, I uh am terrified to have to follow rules. It's I know it's ridiculous.
And I think that I convince myself that, you know, trading purely from my gut feeling can be good. I don't like I don't firmly believe that, but judging by my actions and what I do, it's obvious that that's kind of what I do.
And um yeah, you should swing trade.
All right. Well, I'm a swing trader today.
Why wait till June? change now. I know, man.
I I I'm one of those idiots. What can I say?
I'm a sucker for punishment.
It's really a problem. It's a real freaking problem.
I was talking with my brother last night um and uh I was telling him about you know cuz because we all have issues and I was talking about my um discipline issues and how I am I re I rebel against myself and he started laughing a lot and you know one would wonder how can you be so so stubborn that you you even like disregard your own like rules stuff you come up with and I think that's why I still haven't put out my like I have the strategy written down and I think I'm not purposely putting it up on screen cuz I'm afraid that I'll have to follow it and deep down inside I know that if I just stick to it and follow it without being such a whining, you know.
Um, it would work. I would just get green.
Every time I've done that, it's always green.
So, why so much resistance to to follow that?
I keep saying it's bad habits, but I wonder if it's not, you know, something deeper.
Or maybe I I'm just not facing the fact that I need to change my goddamn habits.
The only thing that comes close is like a true addiction. you know, if you're an alcoholic, if you're, you know, you you smoke cigarettes, you vape, you you eat too much, you can't get let go of the junk food, uh maybe you drink too much pops, you know, all those nasty little habits that we have. Think of the worst habit you have, you know, and now think you got to change it now. Well, not don't wait till June. Just change it now. Stop all that nonsense.
It's not as easy as it sounds.
And maybe you're one of those persons that is disciplined, right? And you do follow your objectives. You stick to the plan. You follow the plan. And you've been doing that forever. Maybe your folks did that. Maybe the environment you're in, you're surrounded by people who are uh, you know, on top of things.
I know it's it's complete nonsense.
Yes, I am holding HUBC on purpose. Oh, and look at that. It's 4% green.
I'm just being a [ __ ] And I wonder if I shouldn't be swing trading. I I always think that swing trading I wouldn't be able to handle holding for so long.
Am I actually saying this? Are these words coming out of my mouth?
I just noticed that I don't have my open PNL here.
I did that on purpose last night. I took out the current P&L so I would only see a percentage so that I wouldn't be affected by the uh price itself or not the price but my actual P&L being up 5% is not bad on 32 bucks.
And ah I hate it when people are so so so right.
You know what? I think I'm just going to book my profits or should I let it run.
I'm both embarrassed and um Oh, well, there we go.
There we go. I knew it. I knew this was I I I I hate to do that, but these are the types of plays I often get in the afternoon when I'm big big red on the day and I'm desperate to get a green trade. I find, you know, I don't look for them. They kind of reveal themselves on the scanner and I see a penny stock like this and I'm thinking, don't touch penny stocks. Don't touch penny stocks.
But looking at the chart, it makes me think like $2. $2 is the obvious spot.
We're trading at 36.
What's going on here? It had news.
I saw the 30 cents here, so I I I knew we should break 32.
And I kind of I'm eyeing the 70 cents here. I had lines I think earlier on this.
There's kind of a level at 70 cents.
That's a double from here. Not saying it's going there, but it makes it there's other people trading, right?
Then people that do think like me or they're looking at this thinking of the potential and now I feel like adding to the position, but I feel like that would be pushing my luck.
I don't mind putting uh $36 in play here based on that idea.
So, here could be a good spot to add right at the nine moving average support right there.
So, we're going higher.
Magd here. This is kind of crossing back.
CMND is on all the scanners right now.
Hubc as well on the penny stock at 9:00.
I'm seeing BGLC.
BGLC here with fresh news at 9.
Don't know about that catalyst.
CM andd how's it doing? It's below VWAP.
Hubc holding on that nine moving average.
It's got support there.
We're moving higher, making higher highs and higher lows.
That would have been a good ad spot right there.
Are we developing momentum here?
We're getting big volume here. 370 million shares traded as of now.
I want this to hold now at 36 or 35 top of that candle here.
And I have stop at 30 right there.
I was going to say if it doesn't start here, I might actually just bail. So now I want it to hold that 37.
Let's hold 37. Let's keep pushing.
We're grinding our way up here. 40 39.
I feel like adding, but if I add here and it starts to pull back, I might just panic sell.
So at 40 cent, uh the level seems to be more like 43.
So, so stop is still down here at 3637.
I see 37 start to print here.
There we go. We're moving higher.
So now stop will be top of that candle here 39.
So see now I'm I'm green on the day and I feel like just taking it. But we're moving up. So why would I sell when we're strong like this?
Because I'm emotional. I'm seeing that I'm back to green after being $20 red on a stock that probably everybody said don't do it. Don't do it. And I get it.
I get it. Trust me, I do.
41.
Want 41 to hold here cuz otherwise it might not punch it through that 4243 cent that I identified there on the left.
So, I wanted to hold.
There we go. Keep going.
4142 4129.
We're holding that 41. We're printing 4184. 42. There it is. Printing 42. So here, you know, I see a level right there at 43.
So if we start to look weak here, I might bail. watching 41.
We're still open on the MACD. 1 minute, 5 minute. Volume is increasing. Um, it's negative. I'm I'm out. There we go.
All right.
You know, sometimes bad behavior pays off.
I don't know if it pays off, but it, you know, sometimes you get a reward despite bad behavior.
And I think you know that's called luck.
Yeah, maybe.
But did it not play exactly like I saw it? See, that's where I struggle.
And maybe I have my, you know, maybe I'm not a scalper. I'm not a swing trader.
I'm not a position trader. I'm not an investor. I'm a Candyman trader. And this is how the Candyman does it.
Is it sustainable?
Apparently not, cuz the Candyman method has not been working or paying off.
And I wonder how many times I mean, you've seen me do this several times.
I wish I did proper recaps. Then I could put those examples aside. But now it's pulling back.
Could be another opportunity to get in at the 9 moving average. But now you have to start to think, you know, stock is up 250%.
We did reach that little resistance right here.
And you know the way I draw my resistant lines and stuff you know might be completely different from other people but I did see a level right there to me and that candle here of not sure what to do downside. So if we break the 42 43 cents which is that line right there. Let's put it down here.
Actually there's one at 75 and the other one Oops. Uh so a line there at about 80 cents and 43.
So if it gets back over 43, it might keep going. And I would like to buy it at 43.
Why not buy on support? cuz I'm not good at that right now. The way I'm looking at this is so, you know, you could argue it's just pulling back. It's going to come back up.
But even earlier, I wanted to add I didn't do it uh down here. I think it was because when when it's pulling back like this, that's the first sign that, you know, now we're making it's going lower.
And until it crosses back over the highs, well, it's not making new highs.
Maybe you can anticipate it, but to me, that feels like gambling. And buying the top on a breakout, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. My problem is getting out quickly.
If I can only fix the getting out quickly part, I don't see anything wrong with this strategy.
And again, you know, it's it's the way I trade. It's my own particularities.
And you could uh say I'm breaking rules.
I'm not respecting this or that.
And it's true. It's all true. It's all true.
I'm damaged goods, you know. I'm damaged goods, people.
So, you should expect a lot of slop.
Unfortunately, the EVS, I had that one monitoring it for the break of that 20 cents.
Maybe it'd be better on penny stocks.
All my biggest plays, all my biggest winners have 99% all been on penny stocks. Usually on a move like this where I'm desperate to get something and I look at the daily chart, I factor in the news thing and this one does not have news, so I don't want to touch it. But I don't know.
20 cents was the resistance. It broke.
So the next one would be 20 six.
at tap 26.
But with no news, anything's possible here.
Oh, this guy, man. This guy, it must be easy to read on screen or something.
The casino and the devil love this kind of behavior. You hit the jackpot once and you tell everyone and you feel good and they are happy for you. I bet no one ever dares to add up all their losses and shout out to people about that.
That's too painful. even though it's the only and real truth fact might drop.
Sometimes I think, you know, I'm in deeper trouble than I realize. You know, all this bad behavior and thinking that I'm doing something right when I'm clearly breaking rules and acting like a fool.
Hey, good morning, Robert.
Yeah. How How can you tell you're not good at pullbacks? You do. You know, how do you know? I never see you try it.
Probably shorting is the way to go in this type of market. I I I don't short.
I have zero interest for shorting. I I I'm not uh a hater on the short people who short. In fact, I find it necessary.
I think it's what makes the market do what it does. If there weren't shorts out there, you wouldn't get short squeezes. If there weren't shorts uh out there, you'd have prices get, you know, ballooning out of control. I think I think it's fair and I think it's uh necessary to have those opposing forces to keep people in check to keep prices in check.
Of course, it can be used uh you know in a nefarious way sometimes which is not good but that can also happen on the other side you know it goes both ways.
though, but I don't short. I I find the risk uh too much and um my broker also with the the way they work is um I I don't know if I can short a stock until I press the sell button.
So that makes it kind of annoying cuz I'm always feeling like can I short this? I want to this would be a good short not this one but you know something else. And if I'm thinking that, it's like, well, let's try to see if I can short. And then I just want to try because I've done it before, you know, and I'll try to shorten and oh, it did work. So, oh [ __ ] now I'm short. Uh uh, you know, so it's I personally just don't short, but I got no problem with people who do.
Yeah. And there's so many conversations here that have nothing to do with me. So maybe I should put a thing if if you guys are asking me questions or you want to tell me something, just uh put my name, you know, highlight my name cuz trade zero for Canada.
I don't know about that. Market's been hot lately. We've been seeing these big runners. I guess they all pull back and give it up.
Oh yeah, no, I've disabled my uh warnings on Quest Train.
No, that's a good point. Uh J Money, uh set the price way higher than the average and hit the cell. See if it Yeah, that's a duh. That's a good way to see.
Yet NASA's an ETF easy way to short.
I have a problem with short sellers.
Screw you guys. Whitewater digital marketing.
We need we need both, you know, participants in the market. We need both.
MV times has been in CODX since $136 and you're still holding. Wow.
Don't short stocks under 10.
Have a good one, Robert. Enjoy it.
Yeah, shorting is dangerous for the wallet. It can be it can be crazy.
Especially if you short during regular market hours with uh halts. Holy schnezers, man. I wouldn't want to.
Just thinking about it gives me chills.
All right. What's the situation here? Uh 920. See, I I this morning, the reason it's such a a [ __ ] show is I didn't I didn't I didn't do my process.
I didn't do the full thing. I kind of came in I I had a good day yesterday, right? Made 23 bucks and um after being red, I think. Was I red yesterday?
Yes, I went red 265. I was done at 187 and made another trade. I got $259.
Then 275, 955, back to $1.36.
Then 655.
$30 was my high. Took one more trade that went down to 23 and I stopped.
So there might be more opportunities later in the day. I think I'm going to stop at 9:30 this morning. It's been uh actually I I see this is this is why it's a [ __ ] show. I have a process. I have a strategy. Everything's written down, but I don't want to print it because I I feel like I'll have to follow it. And now I'm facing, you know, another decision. Do I keep trading? Do I walk away?
And last night I was reviewing everything. I was like, I I need to stick to my times cuz that's the only time I have to trade. When I'm when I stop trading, I need to be in the kitchen. And I'm trying to be disciplined at following my time boxes, right? So time reserved for trading is trading. Kitchen is kitchen. Recap is recap. And right now, my recap is non-existent.
So, you know, I I'm negotiating with myself in real time here. So that's why I don't know what to do. Maybe I stay.
And then I think of the open how it's been lately and it's just total chaos for about 15 minutes.
So why deplete your mental capital watching all that action just just to be kind of bewildered by it and not doing anything?
Yeah, the afternoon can be it's always at the the end of day in that power hour, you know, and then after and I've noticed that between like almost 4 and 4:30, sometimes you get those big pops, but they're really, really tricky. And if you wait past 4:30, um, that's where I find those little pearls.
P, which one? PRFX.
Just curious to see PRFX what it did exactly.
Yeah. So that was at 5:00 and I wanted to go live, but it it's difficult because sometimes I'm in the kitchen. I just come up a little bit, kind of peruse the stocks. I'm not seeing anything. I go back downstairs at 5:00. I'll come back up, kind of peek around. Oh. Oh, PRFX. Oh, we're seeing a move there. And I got in and I got lucky.
Trading isn't my whole life. So I can quit at 10.
Yeah. Can a balance would be good at the kitchen and use stops with price targets at stop loss and take profits so you're picking good spots but you don't need to micromanage. Yeah.
Syndicate Invest, you should try out my trading journal. Like you have a trading journal.
Someone I think it was um Barbosa.
Someone sent me Apollo Apollo something.
Hubc coming back up.
I missed Ross. Is he still around?
Where did he go?
I think he's done.
Yep.
So, I'm not sure what he did, but quick important question.
Apollo trader. Yeah, that's the guy.
Hey, George Felix Barbosa.
Mine will always be free.
Ah, West Palm Beach, Florida. You're the guy. Thank you, man.
Just, you know, um sometimes I don't know how people want their information exposed or their names and stuff, so I'm not going to do any of that. But I just want to say a special shout out to XXYZ4074.
I appreciate you extremely, very much.
Thank you, sir. You know what you did and I appreciate that beyond belief.
Thank you.
Been looking for you. I didn't know who you were.
Yeah, I'll be playing with those. The thing is with um um hang on here. We're about to open in about 3 minutes.
I'm not going to be trading anything at 9:30 here. So um feel free to log off or anything. Um I'm going to keep streaming till about 10 or 10:30.
Um I wanted to say something here. Yeah.
So, um, statistics, statistics, I feel I I've stopped tracking my trades for the past month, um, or the past two weeks.
And the reason is, um, I'm completely inconsistent at the moment.
Like completely inconsistent.
And when I look at my stats, they're depressing. They They really are. So, I figured what I need to do is focus on my mental state, make sure that my mental capital remains high.
As I say it, you know, I I don't want to be bullshitting you guys. So, as I say it, I can I kind of hear myself saying, "Come on, you're not going to stick to rules. You just suck at it." But I'm I'm trying to This is hard, man. I'm trying to break my old habits. And when I look at my stats and they suck the way they do, I I I am just constantly reminded that it's not working right. And when when I'm watching my old stats, it I feel like they don't count because I don't have my mindset right yet. So, I'm not doing the trading the way I'm supposed to. So, there's no need to look at stats. They suck. I'm not It's not working. And This is really hard. I'm trying to to to have the proper wording and not [ __ ] you or myself, you know, in the process, the EVS.
It's really going. And now they have news at 9:15.
A renewable three-party business combination remains on track. 1.4 million shares.
Oh. Oh. Oh. 9:30. Good luck everyone.
Don't do anything stupid. Stick to your rules. Follow your plan.
Um yes uh remark I've read trading in the zone at least six times. I love the book. There's also another book by Mark Douglas which is I think maybe better even than trading in the zone is uh the disciplined trader. Another very good one.
Yeah, I'm green for the day. It's It's um You know what? I think my mind is just spinning too much this morning. I didn't do my process. I didn't do my meditation. I didn't do my workout.
I did walk to work.
I'm trying to get my mindset right before I get my trading right because it I it doesn't look like it but the strategy does work like I I'm convinced of it. The problem is I have you know uh years of bad experiences that trading and that baggage I think is heavier than I think. It's heavier than I give it credit for kind of thing.
Um, I'm just thinking in French here.
When I get uh frazzled like this, my French comes out a lot and I'm trying to uh I'm trying to make sense of my nonsense.
Uh, what was the one we had earlier there? O L O X but that one over $10 I don't want to touch it.
I think the resistance is at 12.
Anything can happen on these things, right? So I'm kind of looking for something maybe fresh, something with uh proper momentum.
OTLK I I believe it's going to break a dollar eventually at some point. But with the higher float like this, um, got to I just got to pass.
And it is Friday, so we're not likely to see something with fresh news coming out or the odds are, you know, smaller.
So top lowflat gainers, SLNX.
What's going on with this one? Are we halted? Nope.
SLNX.
Is that a pink sheet?
Oh, no. L SLXM That's bizarre.
Oh, they they just did a split. I see.
All right. Pass.
All right. X I again I think I I can I feel like um when I'm feeling like this I need to stop.
I I'm just uh frazzled.
And it has nothing to do with my trading this morning. It has to do with my baggage.
Yeah.
Yeah. Trading in a bad mindset. Exactly.
That's how I feel right now.
Yeah, a lot of people mention that that the raw strategy does not suit my personality.
Um, do you think so? What is your thought? It it's a good point. Looking from the outside in, I completely agree with you. It's uh this guy should not be doing what he's doing. But, you know, when I put myself out there um streaming in front of all these people, um I don't know. I I maybe maybe it's starting to affect me. I don't know. It doesn't feel like it it is, but sometimes I wonder, you know, when I'm glancing at the chat, when I'm in a trade and I kind of lose my my [ __ ] you know, by myself.
Um, I think sometimes it it has some maybe a little bit to do with it. But uh getting back to the Ross thing uh from the moment I the first time I found Ross over eight years ago back in 2017 um I thought the guy was nuts. I was looking at that like that's crazy.
That's I would never do something like that. And u I thought I'd be more of an investor or a swing trader at the be very very beginning.
And uh the more I looked at Ross and the money he was making and how quickly it was and how quickly he got uh resolution like what really turned me on the first time was the fact that he never held stocks overnight. When I heard that the first time I was like what what do you mean you don't hold stocks overnight?
How are you going to make money? You got to hold stocks for for weeks and months and years.
And uh you know the more I looked into it, the more I realized, wow, I kind of like that cuz I I hate holding stocks overnight when you're trying to make money. You know, if you're investing, completely different story. But when you're trying to make money quickly, um you want it to happen fast. And the fact that he never he was always flat at the end of the day and held nothing overnight. That's the first thing that kind of triggered me to what is he doing exactly here? because this is interesting. This is something I would like to do. And the more I paid attention to it, the more I realized that Ross was exactly like me. I felt like he was the same personality, same everything. And I think there's some truth to that. I think we have very similar um I think we'd get along if we'd meet in person. And um but when he's what am I trying to say here? I'm trying to say that when he's online and streaming the level of discipline and uh follow through on the discipline that he does is astounding. It's hard to realize it and and fully grasp how impressive it is because he makes it sound so easy.
and his uh you know his uh jolly demeanor, his way of talking. That's my interpretation, right? I feel like it's oh, this sounds so easy. It's so much fun. It's so uh it's easy. You just do this, do that, and you go green and flat at the end of the day. And um only to later on realize that my issue, the no discipline part, is just not compatible with that at all. So, I'm trying and discipline is important not just in trading but in regular life as well. And if you're new to this channel, first of all, welcome. Thank you for subscribing.
Thank you for being here. And um you know, I I I guys, I'm just feeling completely off this morning. I'm trying to explain what I'm going through and I have all these thoughts swirling in my head and I I keep losing track of what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to read what you guys are sending. I'm trying to keep up with the chat. I don't want to miss a trade, but I think I should not be trading right now. So, I'm sort of distracting myself from trading.
Oh, god damn, man. These people. How do you know all this from just looking at me?
I guess you guys have been there as well.
Oh boy.
Oh boy. I I need to read this just to have it on record. Um, your intuition is doing its job. It's seizing the pain while you take losses.
Sugar sugar coating the bad behavior is still asking you to trust it with your trading. We know we know though your intuition right now is not trained to be a good executioner yet but genet genetically it's programmed to keep you safe from pain and it does that.
However, on the other side your intuition also tells you you need the rules.
That's why even though you don't follow them much, you still don't say the rules don't work because even your intuition uh which sucks at executing knows that you need them. I think that's what's going on.
I'm I'm saying two things. I'm saying [ __ ] the rules and I need those rules.
Screw the strategy, but I need the strategy.
I'm conflicted and and maybe maybe it's a sign of growth. Maybe it's a sign that I'm I'm finally noticing these things. You know, I talk about them a lot, but it's almost like um I'm talking of the elusive something and oh, look, it goes and oh, it's gone. I don't know.
Um, your intuition's job is to keep you safe from tigers and lions and not in pain.
Trading rules, uh, trading rules job is to keep you consistently profit profitable. Apply intuition to your daily life and trading rules to your trading and don't mix the two. Yeah.
Yeah. See, I don't um that's a I'm conflicted. I I think I need when I when I'm trading, I need to take on the candyman role. I need to be the candyman trader.
And when I default to Mark, the emotional guy, the real nice guy, he's a real nice guy and everything. He He's just too emotional. He's just too all over the place. He overthinks everything. He's the one talking here right now this morning pretending to be the Candyman trader. But look at the P&L. That's That's a Mark P&L.
A bit of everything. Some green, some red, some big red, some big green.
It should all be small red and a couple of green ones.
I think it's the pressure of June coming up. June is coming up which means I will have been doing my live streaming to turn to you know quick money to make quick money on a small account. It's been a year.
It will be a year in June and I got nothing to show for other than a great channel with lots of people watching, being very generous.
Um, that's part of the embarrassment too, you know.
9:45.
I don't know how to explain it, but that feeling I have right now is is the exact feeling that I know I have to put the brakes on and not trade. And most of the time I ignore it. Most of the time I I just push on through.
And sometimes it's green, sometimes it's red.
It's gambling. When I'm feeling like this, whatever I do next is is gambling.
So to me, you know, maybe it's maybe I'm different than than most traders. I'm sure there's people that struggle with the same things.
Um, it's always a feelings thing, right? And in trading, they say don't mix your feelings with trading. It should all be logical stuff, defined rules, written down plan, and you just follow those things. But sometimes, even if I do that, but my mindset's not right, there's just it's just not going to work.
So to me, mindset seems to be everything.
And if I don't come in with the right mindset, instead of pushing on through to see if it's going to work, to see if I can get a winner, you know, if I can get lucky, um, All right.
And and welcome to the new people.
Sorry, it's one of those days. Um just going to try and keep up here with uh you folks.
Yeah, no offense. You're very easy easy distracted running up and down downstairs. Yep. Yeah. Well, I had deliveries today.
Thank you.
Zapata, go back and review your trades. Your strategies there. You have a unique strategy that aligns with your core personality. You got this because you are honest.
And also the chat.
He also chats while trading.
That's the other thing too. I focus on the outcome too much.
I think he's he'd get very frustrated with your trading.
Let's see how the tetanus shot and affects your trading. MVL71 told you to hold Hubc. What is HUBC doing?
There it is.
But we're we're we're right at that resistance, right? So to me, that level is it might be hard to break. If it does, well, the levels are there 67 cents. You're going to have 50 cent psychological resistance. And I would say that every level here is a a spot to consider. So at this point for me, it feels a little tricky. It's up uh 300%.
Yeah, extra caution would go on here.
Ross glaze almost too much at this point.
Oh, nice. Nice, Julie. Wow. 213 on AMD.
When you paper traded, did you ever have a realistic account size? I didn't. I only traded I my first uh trade was was um I think the like the Weeble uh thing was a million dollars default or something and uh I didn't think of it. I just traded I can't remember the first size but it was a huge account and of course I made millions with it and I was like no no no this is just not going to work. Within a week of doing that I was like no this is not it. Let's use a realistic amount. I did a $500 um account uh for a tra for a paper trading and I took the first one. I can't remember now. It was ridiculous. I I I one of them went I went from 500 to $35,000 and then I was like, well, this does not make any sense. And I tried it again. I went back to 500, traded again 500, went back to 50,000 bucks. And um I did I think I did it a third time. And that's when I was like, "All right, this works." Like, there's no ifs, ends, or buts. This is working. So, let's put more money back in. Let's do it. I put more money back in, and within a couple of days, it was all gone. I was like, "What in the fudge? How can this be?"
Like, what went wrong? Was I not trading the real market on paper? No. No. That was the real market. Real data. So, what gives? How come? Well, it's not real.
It's not your emotions are not kicking in and the second you put real money on the line, you're actually putting real risk on the line. Therefore, you're triggering your emotions. It it's a natural phenomenon. You know, you're not in control of those things. And um it just it just took over me and um that's when I started to think wait all this stuff that people talk about psychology of money discipline emotion maybe maybe there's something to it cuz for years and years when I first Whoops.
When I first started trading, I I I kept seeing people talking about discipline and emotions and you got to be mindfully trading and you got to meditate before the market opens. I was like, what kind of nonsense is this? This is way too woowoo for me. So, I didn't pay it, you know, I didn't give it any attention.
But when I did those paper trading accounts, went back to real money and completely derailed, that's when I started to think, wait, maybe there's something to it. So, I started reading books on the topic and uh now I'm about 60 books uh into it, reading on all that kind of stuff. Some books I've read a couple of times. Some of them are really good. Some of them are completely useless.
Um and now I understand that it's a mind game for me. Some people struggle with the the technicals, right? And their mindset is perfectly fine. They have no issues with the mental aspect of trading or very little. but they can't figure out how to find stocks. They can't figure out, you know, how to read a chart. That's where their uh issues are.
I feel that for me it's it's 90% mindset, discipline, emotions, psychology basically.
And it's a real struggle. Oh, Here's another good analogy. Breaking out there on the HUBC.
I I'm just not taking trade right now cuz I I feel like I'm not in the right uh mind space to do it. And uh here there's another good comment. Um follow the recipe, sir. When you first started making candy, you did it slowly, kept referring back to your recipe, and looked back at your notes to make sure you don't miss a step. If you trusted your intuition with making candy early on, you would never make uh good candy today. Eventually, you followed and referred to the recipe long enough and practiced it well enough, your intuition just learned how to make candy. Now, you don't need the res uh now you don't need the recipe anymore. You can trust yourself because you followed the process early and not and now and now it's part of your intuition.
What you do with candy Ross does every day with trading. Follow your rules like you would the recipe in the early stages and soon enough you won't need the rules. They will be part of your trading process.
Makes total sense.
Nice breakout on HUBC. I sure wish I would have held my initial 300 shares.
300 shares at what price here?
Hubc I got in at 28 cents. 27 28 28 got back in at 27.
Couple of losses. Yeah, the initial idea was right. I chickenened out.
Oops.
And now I see all these levels and I'm wondering, so why wouldn't you want to get in here?
So, let's pretend this is just popping up. I'm sitting down. I'm looking at HBC.
I'm just testing my mindset here to see if I'm back in the game or not.
And that's something I can't explain. I can't put it on paper. I can't point to it. I can't say, you know, when your mindset gets to level 6.2 and it crosses over the the moving average of your mental capital, you stop trading or that's when you're feeling confident.
You know, it's really hard to sort of figure out where you are. It's it's a feeling thing.
I'm trying to think now. Would there be rules that would fix this or take care of that? ESTC breaking 50 bucks or trying to. Wow, that is just insane.
Nice move on HSTC.
It'd be nice to, you know, figure out these stocks when they go like this. You know, when you buy on the first day, how can you know that this is going to keep going?
Cuz in hindsight, you know, it's kind of easy to say, you should have held it. If you traded it down here, you should have held it.
Well, that's a lottery ticket cuz right now uh anything's possible. It's a blue sky breakout all-time highs. So, nothing to look on the left for reference to see, you know, where can this go right now. Uh sky's is the limit. Blue sky breakout. We're also breaking 50 cents on HUBC.
Where did you go? HBC.
So over 50 cents. You might get a little pop here.
Yep.
54 cents.
It's an Israeli company, so foreign company. Very small float.
It's got clear momentum. Nice upswing.
We're building more volume. It looks like Magd's open on the 10, 1 minute, and 5 minute.
Looks like it's building, but also this type of stock will move.
it it's going to probably do uh mostly grinding up, right? Little pop up, sideways action, one penny at a time, maybe two pennies at a time.
See? And just like that, for some odd reason, I'm just saying it cuz all that that whirlwind in my head has just gone.
I don't know why. I can't explain it.
Now all of a sudden, I'm just feeling cool, calm, and collected.
when you guys are trading that thing, eh, I wish you luck.
Uh, Dell. Yeah, I saw Dell had a nice earnings report.
Yeah, you took a breather and talked it out. Yep.
Thanks for the comments, uh, guys, this morning. appreciate the feedback.
Appreciate the interactions. Thank you very much.
Let's see. Uh so 10:00.
See, again, I'll just share what I'm thinking. I I just thought of June. I looked at my sheet here saying that I need to put my rules up and all of a sudden I'm back to being a god damn it.
What What should I do? And I'm going to stop. I'm done. I think um I think I'm trying to weather my mental storm. And I think it's best to to just uh you know, hunker down, close the hatches, and uh just survive survive the mental storm as HBC keeps popping. It's it's triggering me. I I'm like maybe it is going to 67 cents or 79 cents or maybe even a dollar.
That'd be a huge trade from here. You held it earlier, right? I I just bought it and I said I'm just going to hold this thing and I sold it for a loss.
I didn't make money on it. I was down more than this.
It got me back to green on the day.
Now we're breaking at 55 cents.
So now we're we're technically breaking out here.
IMUX.
I don't see Oh, no. Sorry, wrong one.
Oh, mask mask getting a little pop.
That was an easy one to see. I saw that right there.
It's going to keep pushing, right?
Ox back over 10.
ESTC at $42.
HBC hitting the Yep.
You know what? I'm going to stop and uh I'll stop my streaming. I'm not going to keep trading cuz I I'm just feeling that feeling. And I think if I keep pushing, there's a high probability that I go red.
And this thing is just now annoying me cuz now I'm thinking 67 to 80 cents is most definitely possible.
And then if we if we reach that, I'm thinking one and even maybe Maybe two.
It's bringing a lot of attention. 600 million shares traded.
Looking at level two, there's a lot of big orders going through.
They're actually being absorbed.
Here comes 61.
Yeah, I'm just going to not do this. And uh what time is it? 10:05.
10:05. I'm up a $132.
And it feels with all that effort and everything I've done, I should be up more than this.
But it is what it is. And I think what I'm going to do is take uh the next 25 minutes or so and uh review what I want to do for uh for June here and start preparing. I have time on Sunday reserved for that, but uh my brother's coming in from Montreal, so I might not have as much time.
So, starting to um because I think what I need to do is actually print my my plan, have a uh summary version of it with all the key points and have that smack dab in my face every single morning for June. And every time, every single time I'm thinking of a trade or thinking of a position, I need to uh even devs here.
Wow.
ASTI breakout on market is hot. Market is hot.
Market is hot.
CMND coming back up. It's going to break the five. CM and D.
I'm I'm looking for trouble. I'm looking for trouble. God dang it. I I gotta stop.
Yeah. Have a good weekend, everybody.
Um, yeah, I know. I'm just going to stop.
Um, thank you all for being there this morning. I'm just feeling too frazzled.
Uh, I'm annoyed at I'm annoyed at my whole trading career right now, and I think I need to uh do a bit of reflecting on it.
because next month um I've been toying with the idea that this is my last challenge. This is the last try.
Um if I can't make it work starting next month, I'll have to I'll have to just, you know, comment on the market or something because I'm making more money with the YouTube channel than I am with my trading. It's pretty evident it sucks, but at some point, you know, you got to check your head. You got to start asking real questions.
Seen two penny stocks that are calling my name and um I just can't do it. Yeah.
Yeah, sorry Boston. I I disagree with that comment. You just took it out, but I disagree.
A lot of lonely traders out there.
No, I'm green on the day.
What's calling my name here? I'm hearing all kinds of NEXR. Oh, that son of a gun.
Yep. NEXR.
Yeah, I might come back later on at the close today, but um and and you might be right there, Boston. Um I need to uh I need to review the whole package and make sure that I'm not annoyed going into the market.
And this week will be I think mostly a green week. But even then I I've stopped paying attention to that because it's not what I need to fix.
VCIG and someone mentioned S O A VCIG just got a huge pop here.
Was it Halton?
Yes.
So out of the halt and VCIG as I I mentioned it I I think a couple of times that it would be a good swing from when I bought it down here and uh well there you go.
Now that we break seven, we're entering this zone here. So anywhere from 7 to 15 and even 23 kind of in play potentially.
The split is in the $10 Bible.
Yeah, didn't do terribly well this week, but I think I'm mostly green. Monday, no trading. Tuesday, no trading. Wednesday, green.
Thursday, green. So, three green days.
I didn't destroy my account this week, which is good, but I took two days off.
So, all right. I can't believe this one. The EEVS at 42 cents.
Almost bought it at the break of 20 cents, broke 30. So now it's on its way to 50 cents. The EVS.
All right. I keep saying I'm going to stop. I keep trying to get myself back in the game and I I still have these lingering feelings. So I'm done. We'll be uh back on Monday, if not later today. And um again, thank you all for being there. Thank you for putting up with my with this. And appreciate you all. I wish you a green day. I wish you peace, love, and bags of money until we meet again.
So, thank you all.
I'm signing off.
