This Momentum is UNREAL

Early Morning Hesitation and FOMO [0:10]

• The trader began the day with FOMO after a stock moved over 200% before 7 AM.
• Hesitation on the next promising stock due to uncertainty about market themes and dispersed attention led to sitting on the sidelines.

  "I got a little dose of FOMO. The next stock that popped up and looked good, unfortunately, I hesitated because I wasn't sure that it really fit the theme of what was working today, and I was concerned that we had dispersed attention."

A "Huge Winner" and Subsequent Profit Giveback [0:38]

• After missing initial moves, the trader identified a stock and "slammed it hard," resulting in a significant win.
• Despite the success, the trader continued trading and gave back approximately half of the profits earned.

  "And so what ended up happening was I sat on the sidelines and missed a couple of moves, and then we had a stock that popped up and I slammed it hard. I was like, all right, I'm not going to miss this one. And I ended up having a huge winner on it, which was incredible."

Charity Progress and Goal [1:13]

• The trader is up over $10,000 for the day and has raised over $492,000 for charity through small account challenges.
• The goal is to donate to a children's hospital in every U.S. state, having already reached 50 hospitals and planning to include Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., Guam, and the Virgin Islands.

  "And so we have now raised over $492,000 for charity. All the profits from my small account challenges are getting donated to charity."

Archon Trade and Discrepancy [3:10]

• The trader hesitated on Archon (ARCN) initially due to low volume but entered when relative volume increased, resulting in a significant win in the small account.
• However, the trader chased Archon in the larger account, leading to a substantial loss as the stock reversed sharply.

  "And so in fact, I'm a little bit frustrated because on this one, I'm green in the small account where I got in first, and then I chased it in my big account, thinking it was just going to keep cranking because of the level of momentum in the market today."

GRML Loss and Small Account Setback [6:30]

• A trade on GRML, entered quickly due to a desire not to miss out, resulted in an immediate $8,000 loss.
• This loss erased significant gains, pushing the trader below the $100,000 milestone for the small account that they had briefly surpassed.

  "I started the day with a winner in the small account, a pretty big winner. You'll see it in a moment when I share with you the PNL. Um, but I continue to jump into another trade now, by the way, um, our con, when it first hit the scanner, I did my quick evaluation of the five pillars of stock selection, recognize the volume was too low, including the relative volume and the flow was a little higher, which is one of the reasons I didn't jump in it down here."
