B The Trader

I am coming off of a great March and April...however, the market will always humble us. On day one of May I hit my stop loss...my new MAX LOSS because I sized up again...This was frustrating, to say the least. Then the following week has been very choppy...and ended up being a scratch week. Here are my thoughts on how trading has been during these frustrating times.

I first saw Scott Elliott on SMB Capitals Youtube. Mike Bellafiore brought him on to discuss his recent blow-up of 100k on one trade. All of his hard work for months was wiped away in one trade. He was very open with Mike and shared his story with him which I felt took a strong person to do so. I knew I wanted to bring him on B The Trader right away to dive deeper into his story and learn even more lessons from his trade. I feel we can all learn from this episode and I can't wait for you to watch it.

This episode is one I didn't think I would ever make. So many people doubted me and use to laugh when I would be happy about making $50 or $100 for the entire month. They would say things like "Wow, that's it?" and wouldn't understand the hard work would eventually grow into more. Well in this episode I share with you an update on my progress along with a little celebration of finally making a salary I can live on. I am very proud of this and will continue to grow and work on my craft. Been enjoying this journey and sharing it with you all. 

I met Airplane Jane back in 2016 at a trading conference when she was at the beginning of her consistency. She is now a full-time day trader and mentor who loves to trade bigger cap stocks using the dark pools. We go into details on this strategy and what it really means to trade dark pools. 

James Freedlender from My Investing Club shares one of his trades he did in the month of April on stock $WORX. This episode is coming out after having Krishna from Seven Points Capital go over his own trade on $WORX. You will be able to see how two different traders trade the same ticker and hopefully learn how we can all trade the same ticker differently and be successful. James goes into the details of why he placed the trade and his thought process through the trade along with having me as a soundboard and asking questions to help you grow in your own trading.

In this episode, Krishna Joshi from Seven Points Capital and I review a recent trade he placed. He goes into the details of why he placed the trade and his thought process through the trade along with having me as a soundboard and asking questions to help you grow in your own trading.

Timothy Sykes is a millionaire trader and mentor. He primarily focuses now on teaching and helping others become self-sufficient. I must say, that the only reason I am into trading is because of him. His face is everywhere online marketing to everyone. This marketing caught my attention and he was the first teacher I hired during my journey where I can say I learned a lot of the basics, rules, and mentality one must have as a trader.   I was very happy to find out he was open to being on my show and I think you will enjoy this episode as we dive into some trading psychology, philosophy, and strategies.   

Trade of the day is a new series we are starting today. In this series, we will have short 5-10 min videos on youtube reviewing trades to share our thought process, and lessons we have learned. You will see how consistently profitable traders review their trades and hopefully learn from them.  James Freedlender is sharing with us his trade on $TLSA, please enjoy and let me know what your thoughts are. 

Krishna Joshi is the head trader at Seven Points Capital office in Florida. You will find his story unique because he originally was trading oversees in a totally different market and was able to bring his experiences and lessons to the US Stock Market. We dive deep into how he was able to do this, how it was for him when he first started at Seven Points Capital, and one of his favorite strategies. 

Jim Benedict and Jack Kellogg join me to kick off season 3 of B The Trader. Jim Benedict is a regular listener to the show and a recent contest winner. He has been trading for about a year and asks some good beginner questions that many of us at one point didn't know and some of you may still be in this phase of learning. You will benefit from this episode if you are especially a beginner to trading. Jack Kellogg a successful long trader and myself, a short trader, answers his questions to the best of our ability with the hopes of putting him on the right path. I hope you enjoy this episode and please let us know what you learned.
