  5. 0:10so hopefully you guys can learn
  6. 0:11something new and this year has been
  7. 0:14really crazy and for how much money i
  8. 0:17made i'm not going to say
  9. 0:19but i'm gonna
  10. 0:21you know talk about my three zero
  11. 0:23statements which i made about
  12. 0:25close to 3.7 million dollars along this
  13. 0:28year
  14. 0:29and uh
  15. 0:31i'm gonna go through different tickers
  16. 0:32and go through how many times that trade
  17. 0:35per day so which most of you guys are
  18. 0:38very curious about
  19. 0:39if you're just a beginner
  20. 0:41get into this industry so other than
  21. 0:44that yeah let's get into the video and
  22. 0:46make sure hit that like button
  23. 0:49so in 2021 uh
  24. 0:52as you can see
  25. 0:54uh total summary made about 3.68 million
  26. 0:57this is not including the borrowed fees
  27. 0:59the borrow fees are probably around 300
  28. 1:02to 400 000 so net profit will be
  29. 1:05anywhere between three to 3.2 million uh
  30. 1:08it's not that bad if you are comparing
  31. 1:10to 2020 which is another
  32. 1:16crazy year
  33. 1:18it's going into 20 january
  34. 1:21made about 2.8 million so
  35. 1:24i did i would say i saw the improvements
  36. 1:28on my risk management
  37. 1:30you can see that i had four red mounts
  38. 1:33january march
  39. 1:34uh september
  40. 1:36and november i shouldn't took this
  41. 1:38massive i would say massive mistake it
  42. 1:41was it's not a big loss but definitely
  43. 1:44missed a lot of opportunities there last
  44. 1:46year in november
  45. 1:48so
  46. 1:50which i did a significant improvement
  47. 1:53in this year
  48. 1:55as you know that the december in 2021 is
  49. 1:58pretty slow so i only made 127 000 but
  50. 2:02overall i did really well
  51. 2:04and i only had three red month april
  52. 2:07june and september
  53. 2:09uh april losses are really minimum so
  54. 2:13which i'm glad
  55. 2:14and uh
  56. 2:17this is just profit and i'm going to
  57. 2:19dive into specific tickers so this is
  58. 2:22how i really manage my risk and you guys
  59. 2:25can take my decent notes on it i've been
  60. 2:28improving on year by year so i'm still
  61. 2:30working on it and i'm still learning i'm
  62. 2:32not
  63. 2:34graduated from the market yet so as i
  64. 2:37keep learning i will share more
  65. 2:38experience about how i really manage my
  66. 2:40risk but as for now let's dive into the
  67. 2:42tickers
  68. 2:43so as you can see then there is an
  69. 2:46entire page let's see
  70. 2:50that's 94. so i traded 94 takers in
  71. 2:54total in 2021
  72. 2:56and
  73. 2:58if you count all the trading days i
  74. 3:00trade probably once every three days
  75. 3:05between hot and slow seasons so i don't
  76. 3:08trade every single day as you can see
  77. 3:11four overall if you took look at my
  78. 3:13biggest losses and my biggest scan
  79. 3:15they're pretty similar and i'm trying to
  80. 3:17keep my biggest skin and biggest losses
  81. 3:20up to an even level so
  82. 3:22if you have a solid
  83. 3:2470 winning percentage you you will
  84. 3:26always come out ahead
  85. 3:28so
  86. 3:30asag this is probably the biggest
  87. 3:32mistake i made i traded about three
  88. 3:35times in a row uh each time lost about
  89. 3:37one hundred thousand
  90. 3:39uh it was a low flow
  91. 3:41gap up short definitely over traded my
  92. 3:43mistake um i learned a lot from it but
  93. 3:48never sizing too much into a ticker on
  94. 3:50my first green day on gap up short not
  95. 3:52really worth it this is where i was
  96. 3:54testing my limitations of
  97. 3:57how much you can size in
  98. 3:59in the first green day and
  99. 4:02i definitely oversized learned the
  100. 4:04lesson from that and i never made the
  101. 4:06same mistakes again so this is at the
  102. 4:08beginning of the year
  103. 4:10amc uh
  104. 4:13this i made about three trades on it uh
  105. 4:15so if you look at the tickers this is
  106. 4:18how much
  107. 4:19in total i lost this one i tried about
  108. 4:21three times on the way up each time i
  109. 4:23lost about sixty thousand
  110. 4:26uh sixty thousand ish so
  111. 4:28in total plus the fees it comes out at
  112. 4:31230.
  113. 4:33uh
  114. 4:34that's the i think the major loss you
  115. 4:36can see the eight thousand eighteen
  116. 4:38thousand
  117. 4:39uh there's another one 268 000
  118. 4:43lost 163 000 loss
  119. 4:46so one two
  120. 4:48uh
  121. 4:50let's see
  122. 4:51three
  123. 4:53four five
  124. 4:57uh yeah those are the five biggest
  125. 4:59losses that i have
  126. 5:00throughout the entire 2021 all the rest
  127. 5:03of the trades will be under 100 000 loss
  128. 5:06and you can see
  129. 5:08all those winning trades uh 120k 30k
  130. 5:12240k 100k
  131. 5:14uh 284 thousand so 331
  132. 5:18and compared to koss which will be
  133. 5:21284 thousand
  134. 5:22those are pretty similar
  135. 5:24those are thirty thousand apart and my
  136. 5:26biggest win plus the biggest losses uh
  137. 5:29is
  138. 5:30pretty much didn't have zero it's hard
  139. 5:32control to
  140. 5:33331 losses and thirty three hundred
  141. 5:35thirty one gains uh because stocks react
  142. 5:39different and they are low floats so
  143. 5:41it's hard to
  144. 5:42keep them
  145. 5:43exactly even but i get my point
  146. 5:46so
  147. 5:50overall
  148. 5:51uh did pretty well this year
  149. 5:53and
  150. 5:55uh let's look at some of the losses uh
  151. 5:58together so you guys can kind of get my
  152. 6:00point of why sets then
  153. 6:03and
  154. 6:04why is it not a good idea to settle in
  155. 6:06too much and place over
  156. 6:08to trade in the same ticker in the same
  157. 6:10day so for aacg this is where i made my
  158. 6:13mistake
  159. 6:14you can see that i was betting on this
  160. 6:16gap up short it pushed up to the 570s
  161. 6:19and get a fake out right here
  162. 6:22i don't know why you can zoom in
  163. 6:24um
  164. 6:25then you pull it back down so this is
  165. 6:27where i shorted it and it reversed again
  166. 6:29um pushed up
  167. 6:31uh broke through the five ninety five
  168. 6:34seven areas that's where i cut my losses
  169. 6:36so i did one two launches right here
  170. 6:38because they have multiple fake outs
  171. 6:40and they're not fake out so all of those
  172. 6:42mouses plus together each of them is
  173. 6:44100k because i sized in i think was
  174. 6:47seven hundred thousand so each time i
  175. 6:49was taking
  176. 6:50uh seven percent eight percent
  177. 6:54yeah
  178. 6:55ten percent losses each time so
  179. 6:58that's where i took the massive losses i
  180. 7:00didn't even get caught by this huge
  181. 7:02run-up
  182. 7:03so
  183. 7:04overall
  184. 7:06lessons from taking this
  185. 7:07specific losses
  186. 7:10whenever you're looking at the gap
  187. 7:11offshore if it goes over 300 it's not
  188. 7:14really worth it to shorting to it that's
  189. 7:16number one number two if it performs
  190. 7:18over three times on the fake out
  191. 7:21uh if you screw up two times on the
  192. 7:23trade do not ever trade it again this is
  193. 7:26where i made my mistake i could minimize
  194. 7:28this to a 200k losses
  195. 7:30but instead of 300k
  196. 7:32so
  197. 7:33this is where i could improve on in the
  198. 7:35future is i could not touch this one
  199. 7:38because it's up 300 already
  200. 7:41and i screwed up over three times on the
  201. 7:43sticker so i could minimize it to a 200k
  202. 7:46i could just not trade the sticker at
  203. 7:47all from the
  204. 7:48first criteria so
  205. 7:52and every single year i will look at the
  206. 7:55tickers and where i made the mistakes
  207. 7:58and to really revalue
  208. 8:00uh
  209. 8:02is this mistake avoidable
  210. 8:04how can i place a criteria for myself to
  211. 8:07see
  212. 8:08okay this is not treatable in the next
  213. 8:10time so
  214. 8:12now for some tickers you can see uh you
  215. 8:14says in too much it's not really
  216. 8:16avoidable that's fine uh just take out
  217. 8:18all the things that's not necessary uh
  218. 8:21especially
  219. 8:22the traits that you forced in um so
  220. 8:27that's something that i personally do
  221. 8:30for myself every single year i think for
  222. 8:33beginners as you guys should do it as
  223. 8:35well
  224. 8:36so
  225. 8:37um
  226. 8:41overall you can see my performance right
  227. 8:43here and i don't trade that much once
  228. 8:45every three days
  229. 8:46and every single year make sure look at
  230. 8:48your own count statement and find out
  231. 8:51all the mistakes that you made
  232. 8:53pull out all the mistakes that it's not
  233. 8:55necessary and write down the mistakes
  234. 8:58that's
  235. 8:59that can be avoided
  236. 9:01in the future so in this way you can
  237. 9:03improve yourself every single year
  238. 9:07the main thing about this game is
  239. 9:09keep your
  240. 9:11max loss and your max win up to the same
  241. 9:14level as long as you have a solid
  242. 9:17winning percentage you will always come
  243. 9:19out
  244. 9:20in a year
  245. 9:21so i still
  246. 9:23couldn't
  247. 9:24manage my
  248. 9:26um
  249. 9:28wins to
  250. 9:29massively overwhelm my max losses i
  251. 9:32think it comes out every single year and
  252. 9:35i'm still trying to improve on that so
  253. 9:37as trader
