A Day In The Life Of A Millionaire Day Trader In Tennessee

Kind of just watching price now and seeing, do we start to make higher highs with any force? The 239 is where I am in on this trade. I want to see a push here. Cool. All right, bang bang. We're going to trade this continuation. I want to see aggressive buying continuously step in. Otherwise, we could see some of these guys up here get trapped, and then we can wait to see where we have these big moves stem from. Because if you can see us like retrace down into one of these areas, you can then see like, are buyers still defending this position? If they do, then you can use under that area as a stop, right after we rebound from it. Now, if we just get some aggressive move to the upside here, you don't really get as much of a good risk to reward by putting your stop too far away. So we're looking over here like we have the overall idea from price. We got idea that we're going to make some kind of move to the upside. Now, of course, that can change. It's not to say, okay, well, we're 100% going here, but like, this is kind of a level I would look for if we continue this kind of bullish behavior in the session. Like, let's just say the market does this number, like we have a big move up, we buy here, and then it does retrace. Either you get stopped out before the real move or you just get way worse risk reward than you could. Now, if we pause, wait for something along those lines, or wait for some kind of new footprint to be put in, new large amounts of buyers,, then cool, you can look to kind of chase in a logical way. Now, in order to trade continuation, what I want to see is increasing amounts of buying. Notice how we don't really have increasing amounts of buying, right? If anything, it's kind of dwindling. So until I start to see increasing amounts of buying into these levels that we see above, I don't want to really, you know, get into these trades because we could see sellers try to step in for a second. And then the way I like to look at it is you want to see these tug-of-war battles. So like, for example, if you're looking and saying, okay, cool, where are buyers holding the line? You almost want to see some sellers try to at least push the market to that area because then you can get a better take on things. A little bit more difficult sometimes to trade just full-blown momentum. You can do it, but it is lower probability. So it's best to be patient and see if you can get a better setup because at the end of the day too, like you wait for that, then you can really see who's in control because if sellers start overtaking that, you know, then you could say, okay, cool. Well, that's, you know, that idea is not really super valid. Now another thing you can use is if you start to see a lot of sellers like at this range and then the market absorbs them all, meaning the market starts to push to the upside, we see increased buying after that. That would be an even better setup than just trying to trade straight momentum because if you can see like where did that big move really started from down here, we saw aggressive buying, aggressive buying, aggressive buying, like really aggressive right here on this 25,185, 25,190 area. That to me would be like if we're going to retrace, that would be a great place to, you know, see an entry or maybe we get an entry from here. Kind of just watching price now and seeing, Do we start to make higher highs with any force? Does the market start getting accepted higher? You want to see once we get these larger amounts of, you know, buying coming, you want to see price rewarding that if you're going to, going to long the continuation here. So I'm going to get in with a scalp at 2— I want to see this candle closure and do 239. So 239 is where I am in on this trade. Did it even trigger us take profit? It did not. That's fine. I'll just be watching anyways. So pretty tight stops here. I want to see this aggression continued. So kind of like what I'm— what makes me want to get into this trade is we saw, finally saw what I was looking for. Aggressive buying, more aggressive buying. Ideally want to see these levels hold, right? So this is at $2.46. I put it right under $2.49. I mean, I'm sorry, right under $2.40 at $2.39. I don't really want to see us get too far under that. If we do, then I'll probably cool it and see if we can get a better entry. But I do want to stay consistent to the plan of what I was looking for. But that's why I want to keep tight stops because I don't want to see these levels really get lost if we're going to see upwards movement. And then we also got the candle closure above this level right here, which is kind of what I was looking for. And I said I wanted to watch price. This is kind of the level we want to see defended. If we lose this, we'll probably get stopped, but I'm just going to leave the stop where it's at for now. Ideally, you want to see this hold and see some momentum if we're going to see a continuation. Because again, like we can see, there's a— the buyers are right here. That's kind of like caused this new move. You hit into it, you want to see those buyers defend their position if they're still in control. It's kind of what we might see here. So now at this time, what I would do is I'd move my stops up right here to this level because that's kind of like where buyers just defended. I don't want to see that lost, right? Like, I don't want to see that area get lost if that is the last area that we see as like the ladder, like kind of the example I was talking about on Monday. You're in a trade where the buyer's at, so we have this big bubble, they come down, those buyers defend, boom. Now that is your next point you don't want to see get lost. You can also watch where more and more buyers are stepping in to kind of see like, okay, where do I want to continuously trail up stops? I'd say we could go ahead as well and move up stops just to right here at this $2.58 area, $2.5775. So we've removed most of the risk on the trade. And the reason for that is, again, like what I was just saying, where are we seeing the most amounts of buyers stepping in right here? So I want to see these continuously defended. I don't want to see us especially— and then a context is important, right? Because remember the context of this, that we're trying to trade a squeeze. Like, we're already— we're already asking for a lot. That's the way I like looking at it. Like, we're already asking for a lot. If we're going to get a big move here, I want to see a big move. I don't want to see it fuck around and just sit there. I want to see explosiveness, or I don't want to be in the trade. That's very, very important. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and put stops at $270. So now stops are in profit. Now what you want to see is all this liquidity right here. You want to see us like blast it. Like, you want to see this shit get absolutely decimated. That's the goal of this, right? So what is this, 279? So I'm going to go ahead and move my stops up to 278. So one point under that position. I want to see more aggression here to move up stops and break this 300. I'm going to go ahead and move stops to 290, 291. I want to see a push here or I'm happy to take the profits. Oh, all right. Bang, bang. So secured. What is that on the day? $6,100. Not too bad for 15-minute workday. I'll keep watching to see if we can get another trade. I do like this setup overall. I'm going to stay focused on this before we start reviewing stuff. $298. I'm going to go lighter risk, so I want to risk $3,000. I want to go $295. Look pretty tight stops here. I want to see aggressive movement. Now, the reason I got right back in is, again, we started to see more aggressive buyers right off this level. I want to see this continued. I'm going to go ahead and move stops to enter on this. I really want to see a squeeze if I want to have risk on this. Stops are at entry. Let me see something. All right, let's go ahead and move, um, stops to $3.20, keep it really tight. Cool. All right, tagged another quick little bag. That brings us up to $7,800. All right, now let's see if we can get a retracement. I want to see more aggression. I'm going to get in the trade. I'm going to take another $3,000 risk at $314. If we can get a— I want to see a little bit more than this. I want to see if we can get some kind of retracement, hold this level. I'm just keeping my order ready, and I'll actually go lighter amount of risk because we can get pretty good risk-reward here, and I don't want to be too greedy here. But I want to see us trade into this level, see if we can start to make another move to the upside and with, with more force before I get in. But just getting my position ready if I'm going to execute. You want to see this held? If this isn't held, then I'll probably just be done for the day. I put it right there at that $314, lighter risk. I'm happy to be a little bit more aggressive. I'm gonna go ahead and put stops at entry. All right, cool. I'm done. I'm going to be done on that one. Main reason that I was pretty aggressive on those stops is, again, we hit here, saw a little bit of aggressive buying. It could still go. It could still go. But I'm happy with, with the gains I got for today. We could just start seeing chop as well. Let's do some recap real quick. Can I go over volume profile? Yes, we'll do that as part of the recap. We've been talking about this range the entire— since it's happened. Okay. We want to see, like, when we mark volume profile with a fixed range, you want to see where we're having structure. Most people, you know, structure— we all know structure doesn't really look like that most of the time. Most of the time it looks like this, right? So what you want to see is mark that volume profile on each leg. So like, think of it like we see this right here. We saw this move down, sideways move. Okay, that value area high and that low are going to tell you what the market's likely going to do. Okay, if you trade into one of these levels and fail to break out of it, as you'll see, the market just bounces, bounces, bounces, bounces inside the range. But once you start to break out of it, especially if there's an area of low volume, that is when you will see like what we saw today, exactly like literally what I, what I said was going to happen on the outlook. Right. And you just understand that the market's going to move quickly during areas of low volume because there's not many people positioned here. Right? Like this big move over here, this was just caused by a lack of people in the market. There's no sellers in this area that are defending this position. So it's kind of like, you know, free for the taking if we do see buyers. Now, how do we know there's buyers? Well, they're breaking out of the value area high. This is where 70% of the volume was traded, meaning that if price is above where volume was traded and it's getting accepted there, it's not getting sold off. Who's in control of the market? The people that are controlling these markets, they're not in the business of losing money. If all the volume was traded here and positions were accumulated here and the market's higher, chances are the people who position those themselves here are looking to take the market higher, right? So once you have that barometer, then you start to look for overall entry, you look for overall logic. Now let's talk through that. So this morning we pretty much just opened up and saw instantaneous price action to the upside, but we stayed consistent. I walked you through exactly what I was looking for. 9:30 AM, we had this big move up. I said, cool. Where did it start from? Where was the imbalance of buyers and sellers? Now, a little bit of a kind of a masterclass here. Notice how there's a big amount of volume here and a big amount of volume here. I like this one more. Does anyone know why? Well, because as we can see, there was an interchange. There was a battle. There was a lot of people trying to sell here. The big sell wall, the buyers stepped in and blasted through it. So I know not only are sellers trapped here, but also buyers are really pushing through. So this was a reference point. If we would have saw the market retrace to this, boom, hit into this and then see more aggressive buying, I would have longed from there. Now, another scenario is when we're in low volume, you won't get retracements. And this is why it's important to understand the environment you're trading in. So if I'm in an area where I think that bulls are in control, I think we could have a massive move and I want to possibly trade that. What do I want to see? I want to see a lack of sellers and I want to see aggressive buying. So we waited here. It's pretty even. As you can see, there's buying and selling going on. But then we started to see some attempts to sell off. I told you If this gets trapped and we see aggressive buying, then I'm in. That's exactly where we got in. Once we started to retrace back to where we saw aggressive buying, cool. Now it's the latter starts right now. The reason that I started to get more aggressive with my stop management here is because you do see this volume kind of fading. So we got that one last scalp, then we got to break even. Just at that point, I'm done for the day. And as you can see, the market's starting to kind of chill and, you know, make its mind up. I think it'll still probably go higher. That's fine. I made good money today. All right, dude, this shit's funny. Look, I'm like a professional at not paying, but they got me this time. Violation of parking. I literally just sent this to my assistant. She thinks it's hilarious because like I just take a picture and just send it to her. It's worth the risk. Look, I'm a gambler, dude. I like— I risk money every day. I'd rather— RR's pretty good on not paying for parking, right? It's like the time RR though, because that I can just send to my assistant. She just pays it. It's like sending a text. The other one, you got to go on an app and like type this shit, like, nah, man, I'm not doing that. I'm excited for this software we're building. Like, it's gonna be pretty insane. The stuff you can do with AI is like absolutely mind-blowing more and more every day. And it's funny because all these people are talking about like OpenClaw and like that stuff's like been around. You just couldn't access it as easy if you're a noob. But working with this team of developers for the software that I'll be launching later this year has been pretty eye-opening. That whole like AI is gonna take your job shit, That is real, like 100%. If you don't have a skill, I think the biggest thing is being able to have a creative skill, have ambition, and be able to articulate your vision. Because if you can do those things, then AI will be leverage to you. If you can't do those things, then you will be replaced by AI. Like if you do anything that doesn't take creative thought, doesn't take having a vision, like most likely you've got like 1 to 2 years left. And like there is that article that was written by Citrini or whatever. It's like a research firm or something like that. And like I was reading it and it was talking about the S&P has been, it's 2028, the S&P's down 40%. All the white collar jobs have been displaced. Like, it's crazy to think that is like probably going to happen. I mean, obviously it's not a good thing. I wouldn't say it's a good thing, but for those who are able to leverage it, and I think really that the thing that people don't understand is people talk about like, oh, back whenever our parents were younger, you could buy a house for this. Or, you know, 100 years ago you could buy a house for $10,000 or whatever. Like, that is how it's designed. Do you not get it? Like, do you not understand that it's designed to keep getting worse? That's literally the way the financial system was designed, so the people who are rich get richer and the people who are poor stay poor and get even poorer, and then that gap grows. So if you understand this and you're on this part of the internet watching this video about trading, like, you better wake up every damn day figuring out, like, what the fuck am I gonna do to get ahead? Because if you're not ahead Like if you're not at least trying your hardest every day to get ahead right now, like you're fucking cooked, you're done. I just feel like every single day you need to have that kind of urgency. It's something to get you out of the typical like 9 to 5 mentality, go to work for someone else, something that gives you responsibility of what it is you do to make money, whether that's trading, sales, running a business, whatever the fuck it is. You have to be doing something where you're using AI to help you make more money. Or make you better at what you're doing. Otherwise, people are going to use AI to do what you're doing. And I've already seen it like at my companies. And it's like I'm in this mode right now of like repositioning people to then put them in places that they're more strong, show them how to use AI because I don't want to just like replace people with it. But you see it with all the big companies. Like that's why we've had continuously good earnings. It's not because these companies are earning more. A lot of people don't realize this is like why the stock market being bullish is kind of inflated is because they're cutting costs, right? Because they're able to fire and lay off so many people because of AI. A lot of people think it's like layoffs because the recession. No, it's layoffs because they're able to automate processes they used to not be able to automate. I don't think that anybody really gets it. Like, they just had that report where 3% of people who are alive in the world pay over $20 for AI. That's crazy to me. Like, maybe you guys commenting, how many of you guys pay for like a premium AI tool? And in trading, like, there's no one that's really like doing this, right? Like, people are— some people are using like regular LLMs for trading, but those are based on the entire internet. Most people don't know how to prompt either, and they don't have access to advanced databases. So what we're going to be building is going to be insane. It's going to essentially allow anyone, no matter what your experience level, to essentially access a lot of the same alpha and the same kind of edge that Wall Street accesses, that these quants access. If your job is just numbers, you better fucking figure something out, like CPAs, anything like that. Like you're, you're done. Contract writing, all that kind of stuff is, is going to be over with. But think about it like when crypto was really early or when the internet was really early. I'm sure everybody that was an early adopter looked like they were crazy, right? And now you look back and you hear so many people, oh, I wish I would have bought Bitcoin, I wish I'd have done this. Like that, this is your chance to do that again, is to get involved with this stuff very early and apply it to anything you're doing. Even if you wanted to use like OpenClaw or something, maybe I should make a video about that. Let me know if you guys would want that. But the key is understanding how to prompt. And that's why I go back to saying the people who are able to have a vision and articulate it well, those are going to be the people that win. Anyways, enough for the AI doom talk. Let's go ahead and hit fucking leg day. Honestly, I've been cutting like crazy lately. I've just been eating fucking chicken. I'm ready to eat a steak. That's how, that's how real this cut is. I'm weighing my fucking food. Almost there though. I've got like 2 or 3 more percent body fat to lose. Stratofusion. God give me style, God give me grace. God give me style, God give me grace. God put a smile on my face. God put the smile on my face. God make me shine like the sun. God make me shine like the sun. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one. I just reached for style. I'm hot All right, so now that dinner is done and we got some food in us, I want to lock in for a couple hours to round off the day. I always try to get some deep work done in the evenings. I gotta review this video, which I'll leave a link down in the description. It's 6 hours of me live trading, doing this whole account challenge, so it's gonna be an awesome video. I know whenever I was trying to trade, like learning and coming up, I always would sick and tired of people with like educational videos and I just wanted to see it done. So I figured why not be the first person to do like a live trading course? So that's going to be pretty cool. I mean, how much did you make like throughout all 6 hours? Throughout all 6 hours, it was multiple trading days and I ended up taking an account from just under $10,000 to $150,000. Like, I know that sounds insane here. Hold on, let me just show you. So yeah, what I'm going to log in to the actual broker. So like, watch me type this in. Because a lot of people, they'll just show you like, you know, a screenshot of a trade or like TradeZilla or something that doesn't actually prove, you know, you're making money. So we'll log in together so you can see for yourself because I know it's a pretty like insane claim. Um, as you can see right here, live trading right there. So we'll click live trading and then go over here to see the report. We'll do from when I started this challenge with this account. Which was November 5th to the 25th, which is today. As you can see, gross P&L $148K, total P&L after fees $143K. You can see up here $153K in the account. So started a little under $10K, as you can see, $143K in profit. And it's a pretty good, you know, overall challenge. Like, I went to drawdown at first, but after that I had a couple dips, but overall it's pretty, pretty steady upwards. Trading's definitely been good lately. So yeah, watch that video literally and watch me do the entire thing. Dude, that's, that's nuts. So what, what like multiplier is that? What, like that 15x? 15x? Yeah, dude, I need to learn how to trade. Yeah, I know, right? Honestly, like, that would be— why don't we do that? We could do that. Like, I mean, like, you, you've literally blown what, how many? You've blown a couple accounts. Yeah, definitely, definitely. But he hasn't actually traded. Like, this dude just literally full port his account so he doesn't really get it. So that definitely, definitely lost some in crypto as well. Yeah, no, I'm down. Let's do it. Should they leave it in the comments if they want to see that video? Yeah, if you guys want to see that, leave it in the comments and I might put— I never usually put like edutainment, I guess, is that kind of content, but that'd be fun. I think that would also be a good lesson for a lot of people. But yeah, let us know in the comments if that's something you'd want to see.
