- 0:28and let's get into the video so the
- 0:30overall process will be split in three
- 0:32different parts
- 0:33the first part will be of the losses and
- 0:35mistakes you made
- 0:36second part will be all of the
- 0:38consistent winning trades
- 0:39that you made throughout the year the
- 0:42third part which is the most important
- 0:44part for beginners is you want to select
- 0:47all the trades
- 0:48that belong to scalping or small trades
- 0:52you made about 500 or a thousand dollars
- 0:54and these are considered to be small
- 0:56trades for your account
- 0:57now you want to identify them does these
- 1:00small trades fit any type of pattern now
- 1:03if it's not fitting any type of pattern
- 1:05or some of the pattern you want to
- 1:06potentially test
- 1:08then those trades counts you are over
- 1:12trading in this market so once you can
- 1:14filter that out as a beginner then
- 1:16it will be a very good step for you to
- 1:19become a consistent profitable trader
- 1:21in this video i will be go overing all
- 1:24the mistakes that i made
- 1:25some of the trades that stands out and
- 1:29i'm very stubborn about and sizing way
- 1:31too much
- 1:32and also some of the biggest wins that i
- 1:34made throughout the year so you can kind
- 1:36of see that
- 1:37how do i really react if i'm winning big
- 1:39or i'm taking a huge losses
- 1:41so in this way you can get used to the
- 1:43mindset that you are winning
- 1:45and also if you are losing you will be
- 1:47able to find out okay this is
- 1:49something that i did before i will try
- 1:51to avoid it into the next time uh when
- 1:54i'm trading in real time
- 1:55so that'll be uh of the concept i'll
- 1:58give you guys
- 1:59let's get into uh the recaps all right
- 2:01so there's going to be two tickers i
- 2:03want to talk about
- 2:04uh obon this one will be i'll say one of
- 2:07the biggest mistakes that i made i
- 2:09caught losses
- 2:10way too late let's look at the yearly
- 2:12chart this sticker
- 2:13had over 200 minute resistance around
- 2:16two to three dollars the major
- 2:18consolidation area is between
- 2:202.5 to 2.7 in that day
- 2:23when i talk about shorting into
- 2:26resistance
- 2:27i always avoid stocks under three
- 2:29dollars so on obln
- 2:31it's stuck between two to three dollars
- 2:33it's on the high twos
- 2:34and the low 3 area so it barely
- 2:38qualified the criteria
- 2:39of shorting into resistance which i
- 2:42still
- 2:42sized in full amount risking
- 2:46the 3 dollar area i think the stock
- 2:48opened
- 2:49over 3 opened around 3.4 it traded about
- 2:53the 100 million
- 2:54shares before 10 30. if you are trying
- 2:57to estimate the entire day volume
- 2:59if in the first hour already traded
- 3:02about 100 million shares
- 3:03it's definitely going to trade more
- 3:04shares throughout the day and it's also
- 3:06going to overwhelm
- 3:07the 200 million resistance that was made
- 3:10in december 7th in 2018 2019 we never
- 3:15get
- 3:15any resistance that is close to 200
- 3:18million resistance
- 3:19so i sized in about i would say 500 000
- 3:23worth of positions i think i took around
- 3:2615
- 3:2720 losses so that's like a hundred
- 3:29thousand one hundred fifty thousand
- 3:30losses on this specific ticker
- 3:33so in the future what i can improve on
- 3:35is if the stock is trading over 100
- 3:37million
- 3:38shares before 10 30 and it's definitely
- 3:41going to trade more than 200 million
- 3:42shares
- 3:43throughout the day and i will try to
- 3:47size down because sometimes the stock
- 3:49decides to
- 3:50do a massive pull and actually
- 3:52consolidate
- 3:53around the resistance then drop so in
- 3:55that case if the volume is too much
- 3:58try to size down as much as possible i
- 4:00would recommend 20 percent of your
- 4:02regular size
- 4:03for this type of shorting strategy so
- 4:06for wnw
- 4:08this is another massive wing that i did
- 4:10i was
- 4:11very patient on the sticker because
- 4:13during that time there is a massive ipo
- 4:16hype in that two months so
- 4:19the stock did when very overextended
- 4:21went from seven to 160
- 4:23uh in three days let's look at the
- 4:26intriguing chart
- 4:27so we'll be able to tell where the entry
- 4:29is and where
- 4:30is the exit so first of all when the
- 4:33stock is
- 4:34spiking in the afternoon there's always
- 4:36a really good chance that stock tends to
- 4:38perform a massive morning spike
- 4:40so for wmw because it is a very fresh
- 4:43chart
- 4:44and they attracted a lot more volume
- 4:47after the open
- 4:48the stock went from 50 to 160
- 4:51pretty much in 30 minutes once it formed
- 4:54the top it dropped another 50 percent
- 4:56from the 160 so it dropped all the way
- 4:58to 80
- 5:00so in this case when people are buying
- 5:02around 160 they're
- 5:03down way too much so they want to sell
- 5:05into some type of consolidations or
- 5:07balances
- 5:08and the consolidated about 2 million
- 5:10shares around 100
- 5:12so that's about 2 billion in terms of
- 5:15dollar block
- 5:16which i decided sizing around 120
- 5:18covered around 102
- 5:20then because of the borrow fee was way
- 5:22too expensive to hold overnight assassin
- 5:25again
- 5:26into the next day morning average is
- 5:28around 103 covered
- 5:30on the low of the day close to 72.73
- 5:34so that's the two trades that i made on
- 5:35wnw
- 5:37both of the trade i made over 20
- 5:40from my original investment so i think
- 5:42that's a
- 5:43decent gain and also one thing to keep
- 5:45in mind that a multi-day runner
- 5:47tends to fade anywhere between 50 to 75
- 5:51percent
- 5:51now 80 percent of the multi-day runner
- 5:54tends to only fade about 50 percent
- 5:56now the rest of the 25 percent doesn't
- 5:59really happen not often
- 6:00so for wnw specifically
- 6:04it covered when the stock faded around
- 6:0650 percent
- 6:07but in some cases that this type of
- 6:10ticker tends to fade
- 6:1275 which you can see that when it
- 6:14dropped it to
- 6:16the low 30s that's
- 6:19in total about 75 of the entire game
- 6:23oblan is one of the biggest losses that
- 6:26i made in 2020 and also wnw
- 6:28is one of the biggest game that i made
- 6:30last year uh hopefully you guys can
- 6:32learn something new about
- 6:34my thought process on obon and wnw
- 6:37overall i think the market is going into
- 6:39a bigger volume sector
- 6:40so what you have to do is go look at
- 6:42your losses and to see what you can
- 6:44improve on
- 6:45and also look at your wins to make sure
- 6:46that what you can do to
- 6:48keep your consistency so that will be
- 6:50all for this video thank you very much
- 6:52for watching i will see you guys
- 6:53in the next one
