Today I made more trades in one day than I ever made in my 30 years of trading.<\/p>\n<p>With my new Day Trading I started the day as normal, looking for gapping stocks. There were a few but when the market opened I concentrated on 2 of them.Both of them gapped up. I get more excited with stocks that gap down because at the open the stocks normally will move up. So I buy the stock. Today, both of my picks gapped up so to make money you have to Short the stock right after the open. I&#8217;m still not very comfortable with Shorting stock.<\/p>\n<p>The 2 stocks were DWAC and CROX. I&#8217;m familiar with CROX \u00a0which is Crocs Inc. DWAC I had no Idea what it was. Not until I did a little investigation!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll talk about all the trades I made with each but let me start with DWAC.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-market the stock was in the $8 area but popped up and opened at $12.73. I&#8217;m not sure but I think this was the first day of trading. It might have traded before but as a penny stock. Pre-market I looked into it. I found out that Donald Trump is starting a new social media platform called Trump Social. It&#8217;s not public yet but will be soon. This DWAC stock is a Spac \u00a0with the name Digital World Acquisition Corp. For you who are not familiar with Spac&#8217;s, SPAC stands for Special Purpose Acquisition Company. This is the new way stocks raise money before they go public. This Spac (DWAC) is raising money for Trump&#8217;s new social media company. The way the stock reacted today I guess Wall Street thinks &#8220;Trump Social&#8221; will be a big hit.<\/p>\n<p>At the open I did the usual thing. I watched the first few candles to see where the stock might go. I planned on Shorting the stock because of the gap up. However, from the get go the stock moved up and didn&#8217;t stop. The stock opened at $12.73 and when it kept going up I bought 1000 shares at $14.50. As soon as I bought it, I placed a Stop Loss order. I was stopped out at $14.85. The stock moved higher so I bought another 1000 shares at $16.30. With these shares I was Stopped out at $18. I can continue with me getting in and out but you might as well just look at the trades. The stock just kept going up. As I got more confidence I stayed in the positions longer, however, always having a Stop Loss on, but with more breathing room. It became the craziest day ever! As the day went on the trades got better! Check out how many trades I made. And not only with this stock!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Buy 1000 Shares DWAC @ $14.50<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Sell 1000 Shares DWAC @ $14.85 <\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Profit +$350<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Buy 1000 Shares DWAC @ $16.30<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Sell 1000 Shares DWAC @ $18.00 <\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Profit +$1700<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Buy 1000 Shares DWAC @ $18.50<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Sell 1000 Shares DWAC @ $19.00 <\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Profit +$500<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Buy 1000 Shares DWAC @ $18.50<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>10\/21\/21 \u2013 Sell 1000 Shares DWAC @ $19.00 <\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Profit +$500<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This is the only trade I was stopped out at, at a loss.
