Hey everyone, Ross Cameron here! Today, I’m coming at you with a quick recap of my trades from this morning, all while traveling from the Delta Sky Lounge in JFK. I squeezed in 34 minutes of day trading before boarding my flight and ended the day up $5,322.52. Not too bad for a quick session on the go, right?
Now, before diving into each trade, keep in mind I was working off my laptop, which I hadn’t used since August. I’ve been leaning on my Falcon desktop setup at home, so this was a little different setup for me. But, with my VPN up, my clock synced (almost), and some stocks on the move, I made the best of the situation.
First Stock: SGBX
The first mover I spotted today was SGBX. If you’ve traded this one before or checked it out, you know it has a float of just 1.4 million shares. That’s super low, which can create nice volatility. But, right off the bat, I didn’t see any fresh news behind it. Still, we’ve seen some stocks with no news pop off recently, so I didn’t want to write it off entirely.
I pulled up the chart right at 7 a.m. and had my eye on a possible breakout move at around $2.10. Here’s where things went a little sideways – my laptop’s clock was 30 seconds fast. So, I was staring at the screen thinking, “Where’s the volume?” No orders came in, and I was confused. Then, boom, by the time the real 7 a.m. came, SGBX made its move from $2.10 up to $2.22, but I missed it because of my clock issue.
If that clock had been properly synced, I probably would’ve thrown in 5,000 shares. Maybe I would’ve pocketed around $200 to $300 on that small upward move. But hey, you can’t win them all. I moved on.
Second Stock: MNPR
Next up, let’s talk about MNPR. This stock saw a massive 800% surge just yesterday, going from $2 all the way to $34 at one point. So, obviously, it caught my attention pre-market today.
I spotted a potential trade when it appeared ready to break the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) level around 7:15 a.m. I love these setups because a break above VWAP can mean momentum is building.
I jumped in with 250 shares, added to my position a bit as it moved up, and then locked in $1,651 in profit as it climbed about $2 a share. While I hoped for a bigger breakout, the stock didn’t really push further, so I took my profit and moved to the next opportunity.
Third Stock: XPON
Let’s move on to XPON, a low float stock sitting at about 330,000 shares. This one had a bit of action yesterday and pre-market today, so I thought it was worth keeping an eye on.
At 7:30 a.m., I spotted a key level around $4.50, and I took a trade. Unfortunately, I jumped in only to see it pull back pretty quickly, so I stopped out for a small $60 loss. But, when it regrouped, I went back in as the stock began to push through resistance at $4.55. This time, I kept building my position as it climbed to $5 and higher.
I held through some dips, grabbing profits bit by bit, and XP eventually hit $5.30. By the end, I closed out with $3,600 in profit. Not a huge winner, but steady gains for my short time trading this morning.
Missed Opportunity: UPXI
As luck would have it, while I was on my flight, UPXI made a huge move. The stock got news about alleged manipulation of its fractional share rounding, which sparked some big moves. It went from $3 to $8.50 in a hurry, with several halts and volatile swings along the way.
It’s always tough missing out on a run like that, especially since I could’ve potentially traded it on my laptop if I had more time. But you know what? These stocks will move with or without you. What matters is sticking to your plan and not chasing momentum after the fact. I’ve learned that if you miss one, there will always be another.
Weekly and Monthly Performance Summary
Looking back at this week, I wrapped up with around $70,000 in total profit. Monday and Tuesday were fantastic with $20k each day, Wednesday brought in $6,000, and Thursday I ended with another $20k. Today’s $5k finish? A solid cherry on top.
That puts me at over $300,000 for October, which makes it my best month of the year (results not typical). The momentum from stocks like MNPR and Upxiang has been strong, and I’m excited to carry it into next week. I love seeing these fast-moving stocks hitting significant gains. Remember, these results are not typical!
Trading from Mexico
I’ll be spending next week in Mexico, but no worries about that – I’ve tested the internet, and everything’s running smoothly. My VPN setup ensures secure access to my broker, so I’m not expecting any issues there. I’ll adapt to the slower rhythm of trading on my laptop, but honestly, after today’s quick airport session, I’m confident I can keep things rolling.
Strategy Moving Forward
So, what’s on deck for next week? I’ll be keeping my usual game plan in place. I’m watching for stocks that fit within my five pillars of stock selection. These are the setups that give a real shot at catching a $5 or $10 per share move – those are the ones that can turn an average day into a killer profit day.
Stocks like MNPR hit multiple criteria points, showing explosive potential. And even though I missed out on Upxiang, it’s showing that the market is still lively and worth paying close attention to. With that energy still in play, I’m feeling optimistic about what’s to come.
Final Thoughts
If you’re aspiring to improve your day trading skills, my biggest piece of advice is to stay disciplined. Keep an eye on stocks that meet the right criteria, and don’t chase trades out of FOMO (fear of missing out).
Check out my Five Pillars of Stock Selection. It’s a free guide to help you identify the key characteristics of stocks with big potential. If you’re new to day trading, I’ve also got a free class where I walk through my strategy in detail.
And remember, trading is risky! My results aren’t typical, and it’s essential to practice in a simulator before risking real money. Take it slow and never forget about risk management. Trading’s a journey, and sometimes the little wins build up before you hit the bigger ones.
I’ll see you all back here Monday morning!
