This quick collapse led me to a +10% winner
A lot of pressure on stocks right now - let’s play it safe!
Good afternoon,
HURRY! ONLY 100 68 seats left in my BACK TO SCHOOL SALE! 60% discount goes to the end of the month but I’m certain those seats go sooner.
You guys and gals know me as a pretty fired-up guy, right?
I’m enthusiastic and optimistic. I like to bring that to my trades.
Heck, I think it’s a great way to live. Let’s have some fun, right?
If you aren’t following closely, though, you might be surprised at how conservative and cautious I can be as a trader.
Yeah, I want that CHEDDAR.
I want every trader to see what’s possible when you combine a solid trading strategy with great upside potential and a clear plan to protect from losses.
That’s really come in handy in this market.
Right now, there is a ton of pressure on stocks, and that means that moves can happen quickly.
Take META a couple days ago.
It opened the day strongly, but the collapse was ON by mid-morning… it fell so hard I almost had to get out of the trade entirely.
Look at this dip:
Now, fortunately, META recovered just enough for me to cash out a little +6% winner for $100 added to the account later in the day.
*Trading is hard, results not guaranteed and should not be expected to be replicated typically.
But this highlights the struggle we’re all having right now: the pressure is forcing stocks into wild drops.
And my Small Account Journey trades can’t afford to weather too many of those!
So I lean into a two-fold game plan:
Enter into pullbacks and try to catch the bounce
Take the smaller profits, keep trades out of the red, and be patient
It’s what I did yesterday on SMCI - a textbook example of this strategy.
In my Morning Call (where I take a quick look at the market’s setup for the day for Small Account Journey members), SMCI was one of those stocks that looked like it had potential to fit right into that trade plan.
As I noted on the call, the stock was hanging around right at the 10-day EMA line at the start of the day:
This is one of my “sweet spots” when I’m trading smaller accounts.
I’m very comfortable with stocks sitting at that support line.
Gravity doesn’t just pull us down - it pulls stocks down, too.
But that EMA line can act as a trampoline in a lot of cases.
If I can catch it on the bounce, I have a shot at a winner.
Around noon, I made my move on SMCI:
By the end of the day, I closed out a +10% winner for another $180 added to the trading account.
(By the way, this brings my account balance to $27,140… and I started with only $2,000!)
*Trading is hard, results not guaranteed and should not be expected to be replicated typically.
Will there be bigger winners on the horizon?
I can’t guarantee anything, but opportunities always come back eventually.
But we can’t trade based on hope or expectation.
We trade in the market we’re in NOW.
If that means taking some conservative winners while we wait for bigger pullbacks and more bounces, then that’s what we do!
I’d rather keep moving forward and play it safer than take bigger risks in hopes of a huge win.
If that sounds like the strategy you want to lean into right now - whether it’s because of your own risk tolerance or a limited trading account - following along with the Small Account Journey could be the perfect fit for you.
And in case you’re on the fence, we’ve dropped the price by 60% to make it easier for you to jump in right now.
Eat, sleep & trade,
Jason Bond
