- 0:23statements which i made about
- 0:25close to 3.7 million dollars along this
- 0:28year
- 0:29and uh
- 0:31i'm gonna go through different tickers
- 0:32and go through how many times that trade
- 0:35per day so which most of you guys are
- 0:38very curious about
- 0:39if you're just a beginner
- 0:41get into this industry so other than
- 0:44that yeah let's get into the video and
- 0:46make sure hit that like button
- 0:49so in 2021 uh
- 0:52as you can see
- 0:54uh total summary made about 3.68 million
- 0:57this is not including the borrowed fees
- 0:59the borrow fees are probably around 300
- 1:02to 400 000 so net profit will be
- 1:05anywhere between three to 3.2 million uh
- 1:08it's not that bad if you are comparing
- 1:10to 2020 which is another
- 1:16crazy year
- 1:18it's going into 20 january
- 1:21made about 2.8 million so
- 1:24i did i would say i saw the improvements
- 1:28on my risk management
- 1:30you can see that i had four red mounts
- 1:33january march
- 1:34uh september
- 1:36and november i shouldn't took this
- 1:38massive i would say massive mistake it
- 1:41was it's not a big loss but definitely
- 1:44missed a lot of opportunities there last
- 1:46year in november
- 1:48so
- 1:50which i did a significant improvement
- 1:53in this year
- 1:55as you know that the december in 2021 is
- 1:58pretty slow so i only made 127 000 but
- 2:02overall i did really well
- 2:04and i only had three red month april
- 2:07june and september
- 2:09uh april losses are really minimum so
- 2:13which i'm glad
- 2:14and uh
- 2:17this is just profit and i'm going to
- 2:19dive into specific tickers so this is
- 2:22how i really manage my risk and you guys
- 2:25can take my decent notes on it i've been
- 2:28improving on year by year so i'm still
- 2:30working on it and i'm still learning i'm
- 2:32not
- 2:34graduated from the market yet so as i
- 2:37keep learning i will share more
- 2:38experience about how i really manage my
- 2:40risk but as for now let's dive into the
- 2:42tickers
- 2:43so as you can see then there is an
- 2:46entire page let's see
- 2:50that's 94. so i traded 94 takers in
- 2:54total in 2021
- 2:56and
- 2:58if you count all the trading days i
- 3:00trade probably once every three days
- 3:05between hot and slow seasons so i don't
- 3:08trade every single day as you can see
- 3:11four overall if you took look at my
- 3:13biggest losses and my biggest scan
- 3:15they're pretty similar and i'm trying to
- 3:17keep my biggest skin and biggest losses
- 3:20up to an even level so
- 3:22if you have a solid
- 3:2470 winning percentage you you will
- 3:26always come out ahead
- 3:28so
- 3:30asag this is probably the biggest
- 3:32mistake i made i traded about three
- 3:35times in a row uh each time lost about
- 3:37one hundred thousand
- 3:39uh it was a low flow
- 3:41gap up short definitely over traded my
- 3:43mistake um i learned a lot from it but
- 3:48never sizing too much into a ticker on
- 3:50my first green day on gap up short not
- 3:52really worth it this is where i was
- 3:54testing my limitations of
- 3:57how much you can size in
- 3:59in the first green day and
- 4:02i definitely oversized learned the
- 4:04lesson from that and i never made the
- 4:06same mistakes again so this is at the
- 4:08beginning of the year
- 4:10amc uh
- 4:13this i made about three trades on it uh
- 4:15so if you look at the tickers this is
- 4:18how much
- 4:19in total i lost this one i tried about
- 4:21three times on the way up each time i
- 4:23lost about sixty thousand
- 4:26uh sixty thousand ish so
- 4:28in total plus the fees it comes out at
- 4:31230.
- 4:33uh
- 4:34that's the i think the major loss you
- 4:36can see the eight thousand eighteen
- 4:38thousand
- 4:39uh there's another one 268 000
- 4:43lost 163 000 loss
- 4:46so one two
- 4:48uh
- 4:50let's see
- 4:51three
- 4:53four five
- 4:57uh yeah those are the five biggest
- 4:59losses that i have
- 5:00throughout the entire 2021 all the rest
- 5:03of the trades will be under 100 000 loss
- 5:06and you can see
- 5:08all those winning trades uh 120k 30k
- 5:12240k 100k
- 5:14uh 284 thousand so 331
- 5:18and compared to koss which will be
- 5:21284 thousand
- 5:22those are pretty similar
- 5:24those are thirty thousand apart and my
- 5:26biggest win plus the biggest losses uh
- 5:29is
- 5:30pretty much didn't have zero it's hard
- 5:32control to
- 5:33331 losses and thirty three hundred
- 5:35thirty one gains uh because stocks react
- 5:39different and they are low floats so
- 5:41it's hard to
- 5:42keep them
- 5:43exactly even but i get my point
- 5:46so
- 5:50overall
- 5:51uh did pretty well this year
- 5:53and
- 5:55uh let's look at some of the losses uh
- 5:58together so you guys can kind of get my
- 6:00point of why sets then
- 6:03and
- 6:04why is it not a good idea to settle in
- 6:06too much and place over
- 6:08to trade in the same ticker in the same
- 6:10day so for aacg this is where i made my
- 6:13mistake
- 6:14you can see that i was betting on this
- 6:16gap up short it pushed up to the 570s
- 6:19and get a fake out right here
- 6:22i don't know why you can zoom in
- 6:24um
- 6:25then you pull it back down so this is
- 6:27where i shorted it and it reversed again
- 6:29um pushed up
- 6:31uh broke through the five ninety five
- 6:34seven areas that's where i cut my losses
- 6:36so i did one two launches right here
- 6:38because they have multiple fake outs
- 6:40and they're not fake out so all of those
- 6:42mouses plus together each of them is
- 6:44100k because i sized in i think was
- 6:47seven hundred thousand so each time i
- 6:49was taking
- 6:50uh seven percent eight percent
- 6:54yeah
- 6:55ten percent losses each time so
- 6:58that's where i took the massive losses i
- 7:00didn't even get caught by this huge
- 7:02run-up
- 7:03so
- 7:04overall
- 7:06lessons from taking this
- 7:07specific losses
- 7:10whenever you're looking at the gap
- 7:11offshore if it goes over 300 it's not
- 7:14really worth it to shorting to it that's
- 7:16number one number two if it performs
- 7:18over three times on the fake out
- 7:21uh if you screw up two times on the
- 7:23trade do not ever trade it again this is
- 7:26where i made my mistake i could minimize
- 7:28this to a 200k losses
- 7:30but instead of 300k
- 7:32so
- 7:33this is where i could improve on in the
- 7:35future is i could not touch this one
- 7:38because it's up 300 already
- 7:41and i screwed up over three times on the
- 7:43sticker so i could minimize it to a 200k
- 7:46i could just not trade the sticker at
- 7:47all from the
- 7:48first criteria so
- 7:52and every single year i will look at the
- 7:55tickers and where i made the mistakes
- 7:58and to really revalue
- 8:00uh
- 8:02is this mistake avoidable
- 8:04how can i place a criteria for myself to
- 8:07see
- 8:08okay this is not treatable in the next
- 8:10time so
- 8:12now for some tickers you can see uh you
- 8:14says in too much it's not really
- 8:16avoidable that's fine uh just take out
- 8:18all the things that's not necessary uh
- 8:21especially
- 8:22the traits that you forced in um so
- 8:27that's something that i personally do
- 8:30for myself every single year i think for
- 8:33beginners as you guys should do it as
- 8:35well
- 8:36so
- 8:37um
- 8:41overall you can see my performance right
- 8:43here and i don't trade that much once
- 8:45every three days
- 8:46and every single year make sure look at
- 8:48your own count statement and find out
- 8:51all the mistakes that you made
- 8:53pull out all the mistakes that it's not
- 8:55necessary and write down the mistakes
- 8:58that's
- 8:59that can be avoided
- 9:01in the future so in this way you can
- 9:03improve yourself every single year
- 9:07the main thing about this game is
- 9:09keep your
- 9:11max loss and your max win up to the same
- 9:14level as long as you have a solid
- 9:17winning percentage you will always come
- 9:19out
- 9:20in a year
- 9:21so i still
- 9:23couldn't
- 9:24manage my
- 9:26um
- 9:28wins to
- 9:29massively overwhelm my max losses i
- 9:32think it comes out every single year and
- 9:35i'm still trying to improve on that so
- 9:37as trader

- 9:41improving ourselves so if you have any
