Going to start a long term thread here on intra-day break & retests that I find. A cool way to confirm the strategy, what to look for & how to play it.
We can discuss in the comments of this tweet. Will keep this pinned to my profile.
Below is $AAPL B&R of previous day double
Account crosses $200,000 today!
When I hit $100,000 I decided to go for it & man am I happy I did. The larger size has allowed me to follow the same process I always do but with more capital.
The definition of scaling.
Crazy stuff & uncharted territory for me as a trader. I
There was something
@UmarAshraf
started his new video off with & I want to reiterate it here.
Some of the success you see online, whether its my posts or another trader, comes after 10 years+ of experience, building the right habits & learning to execute your game plan. This is
$70,000 on $SMCI
Decided to lock this in. Probably more on the table but this is a record for me & I didn't want to see it disappear.
New levels being made. Let's keep going!
Biggest day on my career! Wasn't going to let this shit upside grind fool me.
Faded the $530 $SPY & 18,400 $NQ level.
Went large size into this trade, but it was A+ & a shooters got to shoot. Built the position all morning & starting getting heavy as the $NQ rejected 18,555.
$118,888 for July!
Both E*Trade & IBKR statements included with every single trade I took.
IBKR doesn't include today which was $10,743 (screenshot included)
What a month, really felt in stride. Felt connected to the $NQ $ES every step of the way. I think I may be better at
Trust me, every trader you know wishes they held longer today! This same feeling will arise until you’re 10 feet under. This is an inevitable feeling in trading.
Take your piece of the pie & wait for the next buffet.
Until next week ☀️
Small green today after a week to forget!
What I plan to focus on this week:
- No boredom trades (Key level or nothing)
- Stick to my bread & butter, no fancy stuff
- Mindset is NOT to make back last week's losses
Account reset to $100,000 after a nice withdraw. No matter how confident I have been, I have enough experience in this game to know it can be wiped away.
Realize the gains, make it real.
Let’s have a great week 💪🏻
Trade your own capital, learn how to trade the right way, stay out of online drama, keep your head down, love your family & friends & enjoy life.
Simple concept that I’ll always live by.
If there is one thing to learn from my trade on $NVDA it is this:
If you have desires to increase your numbers, you will have to become numb to the P/L on your chart. I was up $40,000 into close yesterday, at face value, a lot of money. However, I need to numb myself to this if
Sat through about $8,000 worth of drawdown today trying to long the $ES 5,440/5,450 demand. Got faked out a few times but ultimately my game plan was correct.
Re-entered on the hold over 5,458 for a long into the 5,485. Runners on $SPX went about 130%
Time for another
Looks like it's going to be a record trading day for me❤️
The hard work pays off, trust me. Grind through the pain.
If you truly want this, you can make it happen. You have to TRULY want it.
Ending the day up $66,000 on $NVDA
Still holding +15 NVDA Jul 26th 122P in IBKR from $2.18. Currently trading at $7.85 (265%)
Still holding +10 NVDA Jul 26th 120P in E*Trade from $1.01. Current trading at $6.10 (504%)
Obviously, I only had confidence to hold this long & milk
Reviewing the trades that made me $20,000 today.
Also sharing my August MTD P/L.

August MTD
Kept it light today, my goal on Fridays is typically "Don't fuck it up" & I am happy to achieved that.
Time for the weekend! See you guys Monday!
$95,000 in profits this week! (Live Report)
$SMCI $NVDA $MSFT all swing trades based off key levels.
Will post a video tonight reviewing my recent $NVDA & $MSFT wins. Already posted the major trade on $SMCI on Tuesday!
Stupid mistake today, frustrating. Longed $NVDA into 5,660 on $ES knowing that was a tough level.
Should have been more focused on that supply above.
No matter how high you're flying, trading requires the upmost concentration & discipline.
Walking away on an L today.
$84,000 in July so far! What a gift this last few days of downside has been.
As always, I will do a full live login & provide any information one would want to verify this.
$NVDA trade recap on YouTube tonight 🚨
2 years ago this week, I told myself I would stay consistent towards investing for my future. Today, my individual portfolio approaches $100,000 starting from $100.
Instead of falling for $100 to $100,000 options trading bullshit, find stability & consistency in your
$54,036 on $MSFT
Multi-day swing trade, exited fully today. Felt I caught as much as I could without risking through economic data. The 100DMA above also giving me concerns.
Full video on this trade dropping tonight!
Felt nice to spend majority of the day away from the markets. Early morning action felt slow, decided to spend the day the right way! Nice moves AH, let’s see what tomorrow brings 🔥
If I’m going to charge people to join a community & educate others, I feel the responsibility to prove my teachings are valid.
I could just become another trader who sells shit & shows nothing.
Half off on $MSFT into my first target at the 100DMA around $425.75.
Holding the rest into tomorrow. $MSFT nor the market has shown any reason to switch the upside bias.
Staying long until a reason to switch, how we extend wins.
Little bit of $AMZN gap fill action puts me here to end the day.
Holding a few AMZN Aug 23rd 165C overnight for the continuation potential. Obviously, CPI has a lot to do with the success of that. With 3 contracts, I'll survive any downside.
Account back over $200,000 in just
Withdraw has been made. Bringing the account back to $150,000 to start the week.
Excess comes to $45,903.35. Wanted to share as you'll see the new account balance on my videos & live trading starting tomorrow.
Let's make it a good week!
3 days in a row the $ES rejects my clear 5,660 supply & yet I find myself not acting upon that trade.
Some kind of bias has crept in, working through it.
Nice fades today, need to stay more open to this.
The wick higher action after sharp downside has kept me cautious on
The end result of $NVDA - Sometimes you have to risk some to make more. In this situation, it seems to have failed me.
Still walking away very happy on this trade. All criteria was met for me to think "more upside" into close yesterday.
Good trade nonetheless! Have a great
Short Tuesday, trusted my plan Wednesday, accepted losses this morning.
As a trader for 10 years, I still come across these days.
Man is it painful! All positions from Tuesday are up big.
Where do you go from here as a trader? Fucking forget about it & show up tomorrow ready
Good example today of larger size causing some emotion. Really no reason for me to take that first loss, no candle closure above my stop but the desire to keep the loss small took me out.
Happy to re enter the position after more confirmation. Still things to clean up but
Great day to end the week!
Felt some different emotions today due to the larger account size. Not sure how I want to proceed here. Open to suggestions.
Do I withdraw & get back to my comfortable size (30k) or do I push it? I have a great cushion YTD & feel confident in my
$NVDA longs off $112, beauty!
Attempted $TSLA $205 fails, quick stop
Long $SPX over $538 on $SPY for a nice 20%
Becoming numb to the five figure days which I do like. Can't trade with emotion at this level whether its green or red. The more I can push myself in this new arena
The $SPY retest level is holding strong... This is my top watch level for the week!
Just posted a video on my YT breaking down my watchlist! Let's make it a great week.
Update on May
I did what I wanted this week. Did not focus on making back my losses. Focused on quality & sticking to my strategy. Green every day this week. Smaller wins but that was purposeful. Scaled down, less emotions, gain that momentum back.
The Journey Back to Green.
Beautiful $502 bear flag on $SPY
Nailed this live with the group. $32,000 last two trading days.
Sometimes you'll go through rough patches in trading but sticking to your risk management & strategy will always give you the opportunity to come back stronger.
Let's fucking go
Having fun with the new Sony FX3, tonight’s video has a more lifestyle feel to it. Still the education but a more related watch. Hope you guys enjoy it, working on improving my content.
Going over the $MSFT swing & documenting the process. Just posted on my channel
Still riding these contracts, really no plans of selling. Full intentions to hold through ER.
Will likely exercise a few of these as well to enter a share position.
It was indeed time to load $NVDA at $97
The $QQQ is why I remain short overnight. I believe today's grind higher was nothing but the retest move after a major channel break below $442 today.
We are also going to be fighting against the break & retest of the Daily 20SMA.
If the bulls rip this thing back above
I guess the April Fools joke was on me!
Taking the L's today - Setup & plan looked good before that 10AM Data.
I'll get a video together tonight to recap the losses.
My 2023 YTD
Very pleased with my year! Social media may think that this should be a bigger number but that means nothing to me! Extremely happy with my level of consistency & confidence to move money from the market into my pockets.
Stay in your lane, stick to your risk
Nothing for me today, still riding some $SPX off the 5610 $ES demand. Light size, maybe turns me green on the day.
Awesome month, little messy into EOW here but nothing a weekend reset can't help.
Have a good weekend!
Today, I hit a pretty major milestone in my long term investing journey.
$100,000 invested in the market, compounding until my time has ended.
$32,000 (70%) YTD gains buying every week of 2022 as blood filled the streets. I'm sure these numbers are small to some of you chads
Interesting trend discovered last week as I monitored subscribers in the Options Insider Community.
Have a bad week, people leave the community. Have a good week, people join.
While I understand this is typically normal, it shows you there is still a desire to just copy
This is the end of day tally.
While the $META gain may be sexy, there was A LOT of things I could have done better on this trade.
Just posted a video explaining how this trade could have been managed & executed better.
Go check it out!
Thanks for all the encouragement on my recent hot streak. I have definitely stepped outside of my comfort zone & pushed myself to start the year.
This type of start definitely pads the wallet & trading account. The key here is to keep my head low & stick to what I am
This week has taught me a lot, here are some key takeaways:
- After a big win, always withdraw (happy I stuck to that rule)
- Always reset to original trading tactics, don’t try to change anything after large swings in P/L
- Be willing to push yourself but realize when you’ve
To be honest, I believe most traders including myself would be better off uninstalling TOS or whatever platform you use until the $QQQ exits this channel between $433 & $448.
This has been a $5 channel from hell IMO for a lot of traders. Make sure you are decreasing position
Tough way to start May - Been here plenty of times, keep sharpening the blade.
In a position that I plan to recoup these losses with in short order, will keep you updated.
Could not have been cleaner off our $ES 5,590 today. $NQ rejections of the 50DMA at 19,750. Straight from the live stream.
$TSLA fails under $230 & break flag break & retest of $226.
