9,753$ Trade Recap (2026 Trading Wins)

We have just finished up one of the best trading days in 2026. There has been zero losing days so far in 2026. I think I've only took one losing trade, maybe. I think I've only took one losing trade in 2026 so far as well, and it was today. But today we are up a whole lot of money because we know how to trade correctly. We trade with skill, we trade with precision, and we do not gamble or we do not trade out of emotions. Now the reason why I'm telling you this is, you'll see in this video. But I took 3 trades. It is very rare that you'll take 3 trades most days, you know. You might have the one day here and there that you take 3 trades. So you know that when we do take 3 trades, it is an extremely good trading day. I took one winning trade, I took one breakeven trade, and I took one losing trade. With those 3 trades, I am up a lot of money because I managed my risk correctly and I stayed disciplined. And we are going to be going over that right here. And By the way, before I get into all this, I'm not saying this in hindsight. I'm not— I livestream this every single day. So if you want to watch me trade live every single day, then the links are in my bio. I literally livestream this every single day. All of the people that I livestream with— well, of course not every single person, but a lot of people took these wins as well because they are learning from me. So, you know, we take a lot of the same trades most of the time. Starting off we had CPI today. So 8:30, we have a big news high candle, we have a big news low candle— sorry, we have a big news candle that creates a nice high, which is your news high. It creates a nice low, which is your news low. There was nothing potential pre-market. You could say that there was this potential long pre-market, but just not that interesting, low volume, and just might as well wait for open. So at open, we start with a bit of consolidation, then we get this nice move up. And now this is your first potential play. Say we have a nice 1-minute bullish fair value gap. Now the reason why I did not enter straight away on this 1-minute was because of the candle close. If you look right here, this is not necessarily a strong displacement. Now let's just first of all go over the context. Starting off, we have news lows below. Let's also get the ES chart because remember, when you are trading, you need to use 2 charts. My mouse is lagging. Okay, so yeah, some of the context. We have the news load below. If we go to the 15-minute time frame, we have very strong 15-minute trendline liquidity. We also have this extremely large 15-minute unmitigated bullish fair value gap. So we have lots of sell-side liquidity. What is also important to note about today is my daily bias was actually more bullish. We had a daily unmitigated fair value gap above that ideally I want to be targeted, which as we know, never actually got— got end up— never actually got hit. But I still took 2 short positions that made me a lot of money, okay? So I'm going to be teaching you how you're going to adapt even when the market is not following your bias. So I didn't enter this short right away because I did not like the candle close below this fair value gap. So I waited, I waited, I waited, and then on this next candle, we got a bit more of a stronger candle close. So this is where I entered into my first short position. My take profit was the news low at 8:30 AM. Now, I actually would say that I made a mistake with this trade because ideally my stop loss to breakeven point should be this low right here, as this is the internal liquidity point. But I played this play a bit differently. We had trendline liquidity. So the way that you want to see trendline liquidity get swept is with displacement. When we have trendline liquidity, you want to see speed and displacement, and that is what I was expecting to happen right here. But if we play the price action out, as you can see, we kind of consolidate. We don't really get the displacement. And once we do get this displacement on this candle right here, this is where I want to break even. So right here I went to break even, when in hindsight, looking back at the trade, I probably should have just held and stuck to my break-even point being here because we are not actually reacting from anywhere necessarily. So yeah, even I do make mistakes sometimes. And again, you could argue that this isn't necessarily a mistake because we did take the trend line, and in the best case scenario, we should just be displacing through this point as well. Another, another thing to notice right here is ES came very close to the news low and hasn't swept that yet as well, which was very, very nice. We're very correlated. Um, so yeah, this was my first trade. That was a break-even trade. I ended up getting stopped to break even. Then price ends up coming and takes the low. Now this is where it gets interesting, and I know a lot of people took this trade, and yes, this is a very nice trade. We have a bullish SMT, we have a 1-minute bearish fair value gap, we have some trendline liquidity above, we have a 1-minute unmitigated fair value up above. When I was looking to enter into this trade, again, what you want to see, a nice candle close. We get that nice candle close. This right here would be your stop loss to break even. I entered a long position right here, stop loss below. My take profit would have been this unmitigated fair value gap and my break even point right here. Now this is where things get interesting. The reason why this was a losing trade and the reason why I entered lightly on this trade was because of a strong draw on liquidity below being 15-minute trendline liquidity. I said it on my live stream. Let me play this clip actually. I don't know if you'll be able to hear it. Oh, I don't have the clip actually, it'll take me too long to find. But I said on my live stream, and I'll say it to you now, you If you're taking a long position now, you need to take into consideration the fact that we have 15-minute trendline liquidity below. If this trade loses, it is going to lose because it wants the draw on liquidity in the opposing direction. That is exactly what I said. I then said, if you want to enter into this play, it is a completely fine trade to take. I would personally take it a bit more lightly. That is exactly what I said, and that is exactly what I did. I entered into this trade, I entered it lightly, I didn't put as much risk on, and guess what? It ended up being a losing trade. Now this is the important part. Not only did I say that, I also said, look, we have this bullish fair value gap here. If this long position works, it is because we want the trendline liquidity below. We have this bullish fair value gap. If this bullish fair value gap gets disrespected and embarrassed, what we should now target is this internal liquidity— well, internal liquidity low, the trendline liquidity, and guess what we have as well? An unmitigated fair value gap. Something that is so underrated that I don't see enough people talking about is when we have trendline liquidity, especially on the higher time frame, paired with an unmitigated fair value gap, because we should go strongly through that trendline liquidity, which is right here, this diagonal line, and then the unmitigated fair value gap should get tapped into most of the time. And that is the combination with this trade. So that would be your entry. You can move your stop loss to break open here once we took this low, and our price just drops down, leading to a massive one— nearly a 1:5 risk-reward ratio win. Okay, so that is the importance about today. Look, we took a light losing trade, we lost, let's say, a 1 risk-to-reward. It was even less than that because we took a light position. Then we take a winning trade that we enter normal lot size, at least for me, normal contract size, because We're adding the context together. The long failed. Why did the long fail? Because we had trendline liquidity below. We get this bullish value gap, this impulse. Where should this bullish value gap now go to? The trendline liquidity with the unmitigated. Okay, you need to put the pieces of the puzzle together and look for the trades. I also haven't even mentioned we had a bearish SMT as well, making everything even better for shorts. So yeah, that is how I personally played the trading day today. Extremely, extremely big wins. I'm up a lot of money from this amazing winning trade. And yeah, I hope you learned something here.
