What's going on everybody? My name is John Hammond and this is some HSCTF 2019. I'm pretty excited. I'm pretty stoked. This game has been a ton of fun, so I'm really excited to showcase some of the challenges here. It's an international online hacking competition designed to educate high schoolers in computer science. However, you don't have to be a high schooler to play. Only high schoolers can win prizes, and to win the prizes you have to check back next year. It's a good thing you can play without being a high schooler because I am unfortunately not a high schooler. I'm still stuck in elementary school. That's a joke. The page for the CTF is actually at ctf.hsctf.com. This is where you can log in and register a team. I am going to log into the JH Discord account that I have been using and as part of the Discord team. If you guys want to be a part of that, join the Discord server. You totally should be. It's a ton of fun. Let's dive into the miscellaneous category to start with. The Discord flag is just joining Discord server, which is just means of communication, so it's not a particularly hard task. That's why it's only worth 10 points. It's just saying, hey, this is a support form in case you need any information or questions answered. Hang out, talk to the organizers, admins, and meet other cool people. The next challenge is verbose, and it has 125 points assigned to it. They're also using dynamic scoring, which means that the score value for a challenge or a point value goes down as more people solve it. As 444 people have solved verbose, it's now down to 125 points. Challenge prompt here is my friend sent me this file, but I don't understand what I can do with just these six characters. So this is verbose.text. We can open it up, take a look at it. I'm opening it in Jettits, and you might be able to see or you might not be able to see because this is some kind of small font. This is just square braces and parentheses and plus signs and exclamation points. If I open it up in Sublime Text, I'll paste it in here. It's just nonsense. So some of you trained, captured the flag veterans and warriors might already know and recognize that is a one specific unique esoteric language. If you wanted to check out the Hello World dictionary, which someone actually linked to me, I thought it was really cool. If I can track down, it's like helloworld.de or something. Programming. Hello World in all these different languages. Hello World in different programming languages. Maybe I can find it. Yeah, helloworldcollection.de. That will actually showcase it. If you actually searched around for those and wanted to keep looking, you would eventually find that this is in fact JSfuck or JavaScriptfuck. It is a rendition of brainfuck. I mean, not really. It's derived from brainfuck, an esoteric programming language. It also uses a minimalistic alphabet of only punctuation characters. It's literally JavaScript code. It's JavaScript put together in just these symbols. So it has some interesting interpretation. You can really do anything that you would otherwise do seemingly in JavaScript with this kind of thing. If you wanted to go ahead and play with some of these, you can go to a decoder and work with some of those. So this website will actually let you go ahead and use it or encode or run some of these. So let me get the file again. I think I lost it. Open it and I'll copy and paste all of that contents and we'll paste it in here and we'll say run this, right? But all that it seemingly does is redirect me to the HSCTF website. I thought, okay, maybe it's running some things that would be printed out to the console. So I thought, let's just open up our developer tools. I'm in Firefox, so I hit F12. I hit open the console tab and I pasted this all in. I know that looks like monstrosity, but no seemingly visible output. It just says navigated to the new page. So when I had done this and I actually solved it, how I had done this after I knew that it was JSFuck was I brought it to tio.run, which is a try it online, online interpreters that are accessible online. So that actually has a JSFuck or just straight JavaScript and that's the one I ended up using because it is JavaScript, right? It is a JavaScript interpreter. So I pasted it all in, hit the go button up there. And after some time, I scrolled down and said var flag is HSCTF esoteric JavaScript is very verbose. And it brings you to that HSCTF.com website. So that does the redirect. That's the flag we would go ahead and submit. We could paste that in there and get whatever points looks like we we went down some points. It was 125 last I saw, right? Sorry, I'm hyper. And that would be the flag that we're looking for. If I wanted to, and now I added some prowess to be able to do this, there's actually a note that showcases this. And it redirects you or references you to that tio.run utility in CTF hyphen katana, which is the document rendition of all of my, or not all of them, but a lot of things that I try to like to learn and piece together within capture the flag and playing all these games and competitions and events. It's supposed to archive stuff that I've learned and there's a lot there. So if you want to scroll through that, you certainly can. And you saw that I mentioned tio.run, just the very top there for some esoteric languages. Another option, very, very soon, I want to showcase how you can do this with the actual katana tool that I've been putting together. So I know people hate me when I showcase this because it's not entirely available yet, but I want to showcase how simple and clean it is. I have in my test directory, because I added here, if you want to download it, we can give it that file if we want it to, but it's HSCTF. And then it is jsfuck. So this is the exact same file. This is this is just the file that the website gave us. I might be able to get Cementar running. Maybe I'll showcase that. So if we wanted to run katana, we would simply remove the current results directory. And you can see zshell is trying to help me out for a second, they're giving my auto suggestions, we can use tack a on it because it'll just means auto run all the units that we know, and tests HSCTF will use jsfuck.txt. We need to specify the flag format as HSCTF, and my regular expressions here, period to mean any character, asterisk to mean as many of them as you can get, and a question mark to make that lazy. So when I spit through that, hey, we crank through it. And it finds this potential flag, HSCTF esoteric JavaScript is very verbose. So shout out and thank you to Zweji and the Discord server who has made a ton of these katana units for us. And I'm super duper grateful. Thank you so much. You certainly have a lot of lines in that contributions block. But that is how you track down that flag, that is how you solve verbose kind of a short video, just wanted to showcase the odds and ends that I ran down and how you could do that with katana if you ever would like to and find that information. So hey, thank you guys for watching. Hope you guys enjoyed this. If you did, please do like comment and subscribe. That really helps out the channel, you know, helps grow the community and feeds the YouTube algorithm I'd love to see you guys in the Discord server. There is a link in the description and we can tackle a lot of really cool capture the flag competitions events and games like this. There are also a ton of incredible people there. I think we're almost close to 5000 members. So if you want to jump in that party, please do. I'd love to see you on Patreon. I'd love to see you on PayPal. I'm so so thankful for all your support. Thank you so much, guys. I love you.


This three-year-old has increasing head size, lethargy, and vomiting. Let's have a look at the imaging. The axial diffusion-restricted image demonstrates high intensity in a mass consistent with some diffusion restriction. We'll look at the ADC map in a moment. The axial T2 shows a heterogeneous mass. You'll have to decide if it's intra or extraaxial over the course of these images, and whether it's intra or extraventricular. Here are some foci of high signal within. An axial flare image, an axial T1, a coronal T2, an axial ADC map or parametric map, an axial contrast-enhanced T1, and a coronal inversion recovery, contrast-enhanced T1. Let's tackle our questions. What is the most likely diagnosis? Is it A, a typical teratoid-rabdoid tumor, or ATRT? B, glioblastoma multiforme. C, polycytic astrocytoma. D, ependymoma. E, astroblastoma. You can pause if you wish, and move on to question number two. Which is not true regarding ATRT? A, infant. B, median survival, six years. C, bubbly or cystic lesion. D, world health organization grade four. E, lesion is infertentorial 50% of the time. Question number three. Which is not true regarding ATRT? A, bleeds. B, presents with dissemination in 20%. C, rarely calcifies. D, aggressive spect or spectroscopy MRI pattern. E, diffusion restricts. Let's go back to the imaging. We'll start out with the first images presented. The diffusion restricted image, which shows high signal, diffusion, restriction, an indicator of an aggressive or nasty lesion. The axial T2, which shows little evidence of cytoplasm, or it's cytoplasmic poor lesion, since it's not very bright, but there are cystic foci within. The lesion is parenchymal or intraaxial, one of the first things you should decide. We'll look at the angle of the lesion relative to the brain parenchymal, which is acute. In an extraaxial lesion, the interface is obtuse. And the white matter will typically not wrap all the way around the lesion if it's extraaxial, but it will wrap around the lesion, along with a little bit of gray matter when it's intraaxial. Our mass, as we look at it serially, is extraventricular, although it is severely compressing the ventricular system, severely displacing the temporal horn and the uncus medially, leading to impending, uncle herniation, a potential catastrophe. On the axial T1 weighted image, look at the acute angle between the lesion and the white and gray matter, an indicator of a parenchymal intraaxial mass. There is midline shift, another indicator of a severe, serious, life-threatening lesion. The coronal T2, once again, demonstrates an intraaxial position, further supported by the absence of a membrane, rim or pseudo membrane around the lesion between it and the parenchyma. The mass seems to blend somewhat imperceptibly, especially superiorly, with the brain parenchyma. More cystic foci not to be confused with the compressed, surrounded and trapped temporal horn. The axial ADC parametric map shows predominantly decreased intensity, another sign of diffusion, restriction, a negative prognostic sign. The axial T1 contrast image and the coronal inversion recovery contrast image further support the diagnosis of an intraaxial parenchymal mass. It'd be highly unlikely to have an extra axial mass of this size in a young individual who's in infancy. Now let's go back to our questions. What is the most likely diagnosis? The answer is a typical, teratoid, rhabdoid tumor. These are lesions that present in two, three and one-year-olds. The age is appropriate, the size is appropriate, the aggressiveness is appropriate, but not appropriate for GBM, glioblastoma multiforme, which occurs in adults, is uncommonly seen in children unless it de-differentiates from pontine astrocytoma. This lesion is not in the pons. Pillocytic astrocytoma. These are classically seen in young individuals in the posterior fossa. They are typically cystic with an enhancing nodule. They're not this aggressive. They don't diffusion restrict. It's not a good choice. Appendimoma, when it's parenchymal, when it's supertentorial, it's an adult. It's not a two-year-old, a three-year-old, not a good choice. Astroblastoma. This occurs in young individuals, but not in infants. Therefore, not a good choice. Question number two, which is not true regarding ATRT? The answer is median survival, six years. Unfortunately, the median survival is far shorter than this. It's a poor prognosis lesion. It is a World Health Organization grade four lesion. It's aggressive. It is bubbly. It is cystic. It occurs in infants. The lesion is infratentorial 50% of the time, even though this one isn't. It's supertentorial at least 40% of the time. Which is not true regarding ATRT? The answer is rarely calcifies. That is an incorrect statement. It calcifies not uncommonly. The rest of the choices are true. It does bleed. It does disseminate not uncommonly, at least 20% of the time. It does have an aggressive spectroscopy MRI pattern, as we'll see in a moment, and it does diffusion restrict because it's aggressive as all get-out. The ATRT, or atypical, teratoid, rabdoid tumor, is rare. It's aggressive. It's large. It's seen in an infant under age three. It resembles the primitive neuroectodermal tumor or meduloblastoma, especially the parenchymal type. The supertentorial type of ATRT is large. It occurs above the tentorium about 40% of the time. It is cystic. It can be hemispheric or supracellar. It occurs infratentorially 50% of the time, usually off midline. It may involve the CP angle. It may involve the brain stem, in some ways simulating glioblastoma multiforme, but glioblastoma multiforme doesn't occur in two-year-olds, one-year-olds, three-year-olds. It may occur in the cerebellum, mimicking the meduloblastoma, pinet tumor, which is the primary differential diagnosis. The age is helpful. An infant with a meduloblastoma-like lesion below age three, you've got to think ATRT. The average size is about two centimeters, but they can and often are huge. They're heterogeneous. They bleed. They calcify, not uncommonly. They enhance like our lesion moderately, heterogeneously, and they are, although not shown, hyper-dense on non-contrast CT, except for the cystic foci. Obstructive hydrocephalus is common. Did you notice in our case that the entire ventricular system, especially the ventricles on the left side, were dilated? Therefore, this mass is not only producing herniation on the right, it's obstructing the entire ventricular system. On MRI, the lesions are solid with cystic foci. They're bloody. There is transapendymal migration. There is peri-ventricular infiltration. They seed. They involve the leptomaninges, the diffusion restrict, and on spec-MRI, the choline level is elevated, the lactate lipid peak is elevated, and the NAA, a cell neuron marker, is low or absent. The differential diagnosis of ATRT includes appendemoma. One-third of appendemomas are parenchymal above the tentorium, but in the fourth ventricle or infratentorial, they are plastic. They squeeze into small spaces like the foramen of Lusca. They do bleed. They do make cysts. They do calcify. They do enhance heterogeneously, but ATRTs are not soft. They're expansile, and they occur in a younger age group under age three. Teratomas. These may have some high signal inside, but usually not blood. It's fat. They may be pineal, pericellar. They calcify. They can occasionally bleed, but they don't seed if they are benign teratomas, and they do not. Diffusion restrict. Hemangioblastoma. This would not be a consideration in a two or three- or one-year-old unless there were von Hippel-Lindau, and even then you don't see them that young. The average age of a hemangioblastoma at presentation is 30 years of age. So the patient is a little bit old, about 27 years too old. The patient also doesn't have von Hippel-Lindau. If you see a hemangioblastoma, always check the globes for a prior retinal bleed. Retinal bleed plus posterior fossa-enhancing mass equals von Hippel-Lindau. Glyosarcoma. These are exophitic from the brainstem. They may rise from pontine gliomas like glioblastoma multiformi. Chorideplexus papilloma. These are intraventricular. Our mass, in this case, is not intraventricular. Therefore, chorideplexus papilloma is not a consideration. The enhancement is more intense.   Pillocidic astrocytoma. A large cystic mass is more frequent. A single, loculated cyst with an enhancing nodule. The age is a little different. 5 to 15 as opposed to less than 3 years of age. Another uncommon lesion that you might have considered is the pylomixoidastrocytoma. These are typically found in infants, like our mass, but they are chiasmatic hypothalamic lesions. They are solid like this lesion. They enhance like this lesion, but the location in the hypothalamus and chiasm is quite different. The primitive neuroectodermal tumor or the medulloblastoma, this is the one that is the major differential diagnosis. But if you are shown a mass that looks like a medullo and somebody 3 years of age or younger, you probably won't get this as a choice, but you should err towards or at least think of ATRT when you're practicing clinically.  They are less likely to have cystic foci. They also seed. The pathology of ATRT includes monosome 22 abnormalities especially, monosome 22 and deletion of band 22q11. The raddoid cells are similar to malignant raddoid tumor in the kidney.  Let's move on.


This event is the Australian-French Entrepreneurship Challenge, our 24-hour chrono, and it's the first time it's been run in Australia as a pilot. It involved groups of PhD students coming together and working out a suitable start-up business idea.  Entrepreneurialism is a real challenging thing to teach. It's one of these things you do better by probably doing than just learning it. You need to rethink out of the box, and the idea here is to have people being a people of brainstorming and thinking out of the box. We have to be creative, you have to be strong, you have to be able to not sleep. It's a century of competition, it's a century of innovation, and to succeed we have to strengthen the relationship between universities and industry. There have been plenty of cafes tonight, and I was informed that there might even be yoga. All the best to the participants, I think it will be a life-changing experience, and I think we will see them come reborn. I don't know what it's going to be tomorrow, it is just exciting. So if you move around and face that way, we'll have some photographs, and then it's countdown to start. It's still very early, I think we're only five hours in for the 24 hour challenge. Just formulating ideas, coming up with something that might be plausible, it's very intense so far. I think we're a long way ahead of perhaps where the other groups are, but maybe ask me at 6am. See how we're going. What we've done is we've broken into three different teams, each working up the pitch, and then they're going to pitch it to each other half an hour before dinner. That's what makes it true. I'm not too worried, I think they're on track. It's going to be that slog after dinner, between there and midnight or one or whatever it is. Sounds like science. I think it's about four or fifteen. It's been a rollercoaster, I'd call it. One hour you have the best idea ever, and an hour later it's all flawed. It's not going to work. But it sounds really bad to be changing ideas at four o'clock. We've pulled it together, and I think the team is working its best right now as it all comes together. I think it was challenging definitely coming up with an idea from scratch, coming to a consensus as a group, but it was, at least so far, it's been a very valuable kind of exercise. We've got a good idea. We've developed our business plan, I guess. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, we're getting it. Definitely got a lot of it. We've just got to put it together. A lot of people are on a high, sometimes when some people are low, and then it kind of balances out. So we're always kind of having someone who has high energy and kind of driving the group. Yeah, I think it's working pretty well, a great group of people. Permission to let go. So we generate value by creating some energy savings, and we give back 20% of this value. The team did really well. We were not rolling out as we got almost as it was expected. I don't understand questions. Our idea wasn't any of our first ideas. It wasn't even any of our third ideas. It was like a collaborative effort entirely. I think you've done a very, very good job. That's right. And I really hope that we can continue this French-Stralian collaboration. It hasn't sunk in yet, I think, quite. I think the slip to private state is sort of adding to the whole sort of surreal she-in-the-event has. Amazing. Kind of, is that enough? I'm very proud of my team and I think this is exactly the reason why I chose to be an entrepreneur is to meet this kind of people. And I'm very happy that we meet again in Paris. We can finally sleep.


Hey guys, welcome back to channel and today we are going to talk about how to pick the best residency program for you. Let's get into it. So as the making of this video, we're at that time where a fourth year medical students are getting ready to submit their residency applications. Now with that comes a lot of nervousness and this video I'm going to break down kind of what type of things you should be considering regardless if you're applying this cycle or upcoming as well as giving you a really cool tool. So make sure you stay with that to know and being able to rank which program is going to be the best fit for you ultimately. So the first thing I recommend you do before you even start to look at the programs you're interested in is to really come up with your initial priority list to really understand the best place for you to go. You have to understand the things that are most valuable to you and some of these things include things like locations or geography like what part of the country or the world are you okay with practicing in as well as things like how variable can you be with your salary?  So I encourage you for those five things whether it be salary, geography, structure of a program, career mentorship opportunities as well as your overall fit within a program prioritize which one would be the most valuable to you and then promise you will get back to it because that tool is going to be able to help rank you on which program is going to be the best fit for you. Now the next thing we need to talk about is how you look at programs in the first place.  So there's three to four different places that I recommend to kind of do your research one of them is Frida which is a resource that's provided by the AMA now it's not free so you do have to pay for it but it's basically an entire database of all of the residency programs out there and the various specialties and it's really dependent on how well a residency program does to keep up with their information on Frida but it's essentially a database so you'll be able to look up on things like salaries, structures, you know the different hospitals that they work at as well as other information that that program thought it would be important for you to know and it is a paid service I encourage you at the end of your third year to start of your fourth year to sign up for Frida and use the database to really come up with a master list of all the programs that seem interesting to you and then you can also look at some of the other resources to give you a better fit of which one's going to be the best fit for you. Now the next way that I would recommend to research residency programs is to use Doximity. Now let me just kind of give you an insight look. If you're not familiar with Doximity it's a great website for both medical students as well as actual providers and so if you have some kind of EDU website associated with your institution you can create an account. So this is the one I have and they actually have within their tool section amongst various other things a residency navigator. And so you can use this to research the various different fields that you're in so if I'm going into general medicine like I am then I can look at the various different types of programs and you can do it based off of various different criteria. So things like reputation will keep in mind that that's a little bit subjective but they actually do a pretty good job here at telling you which one is the best programs here but then you can also do things like location which is what I did. So for example I wanted to stay in the state of Texas and so I was able to see not only the programs I was aware of as well as some of the smaller community programs I wasn't aware of but may have been a better fit for me just because it was in the nice location. And so if you click on any program so we'll just click on the one here at Austin because that's where I was from. You can get an idea of basically how their year is structured depending on the various different hospitals that they work at as well as what kind of fellowship programs that they have at that residency program in case you're interested in staying. And most importantly you can also get an idea of what current as well as past alumni's can get in terms of feedback of what they thought of the individual program. And then finally you can get other important values such as like the median home value if you're trying to buy a house and residency or as well as things like how much rent will be which this is actually a little bit cheaper than what is in Austin so just keep in mind because I've lived there in my life these may all not be completely accurate but it is a kind of information to start and you can use this to store it with that important tool which we'll talk about in just a second. And then lastly you can look at the information of the people like the program coordinators as well as the program directors and then have a good idea as well as be able to click on their individual websites and then be able to read more about the individual program. And that gets us in the last way of really knowing about a program once you kind of have your database of what programs you're interested in then you can kind of create an excel sheet which I'll kind of show you in a second but you can go into the website to one understand what that program values as well as understanding who and that program is considered to be somebody who's kind of higher up including their chief residence and then also kind of understanding the curriculum and other kind of the details that would be important to you. So that gets me into the tool that you can use to really understand if a program is for you now this is basically an excel sheet that I've created that's absolutely free I'll link it down below it's going to be within the med vault so that's a collection of free resources that I've created throughout the past few years for medical students so now only we have access to this spreadsheet as I updated as well as other resources that I've added as well as continue down in the future I'll be linked down below all you have to do is just sign up with your email but basically what you can do is as you're going through your programs as whether it be through your research or after you're going through interviews you can always come back to it you can add your list of programs here and hopefully you guys enjoy some of the names that I placed but the most important thing is like I mentioned understand your priorities of the things like locations, salaries, structure and mentorship, community and like fit and basically give it a score and here in this example just to make the math simple I ask that you score it from a one to ten and you can basically ask okay like what's the most important thing for me for me and residency it was like the location I was in because I wanted to be close to my family and make sure that my wife who we were newly married didn't have to like move across the country after leaving her family and so location was huge salary was important but like not the biggest thing on my list and then things like mentorship opportunities were important but also not the highest thing on my list and you can add more things or replace some of the things but basically what we'll do is then now when you go into an individual program and you give it a grade like md journey university for example may have a location of a 10 versus smash that like button may only have a three and once you start adding your various scores through your research you'll essentially be able to get a final score that is weighted by how you ranked these various things so just because something has a 10 multiple times like here for example it may still be ranked at your bottom program just because the thing that you value the most is going to have a least score so this is just a very kind of geeky way for me to use excel to help you kind of rank your various kind of residency programs in and again you can do this on the research phase and then come back and after you go through the interview phase and the programs you do interview at you can add your notes and then update your scores and so this will ideally be a useful tool for you guys as you're getting closer to kind of putting your rank list for match and if you guys are interested in learning how the match process works i've made a video step by step on exactly how to do that you guys can check that out below over there as well as down below the description now once you've actually ranked your individual priorities as well as research programs then classify them according to your priorities a few things that are important to actually kind of find your best residency program like i feel like i personally have one thing that i would remember is understanding that fit is super important yes location is important yes always important but honestly if there is a program where you are going to be a better fit and it's just going to be like a family camaraderie situation your three years of residency you're going to feel like you're around friends all the time versus colleagues and people that you just have to work with there's a big difference coming to work with people that you actually enjoy i love my colleagues i love my residents my intern my second years as well as my tendings and fellows and so i feel like work is a place that doesn't always feel like work i mean it feels like a place so we're all kind of growing and learning and having challenges together that fit is super important so on your interview day on your residencies on the actual webpage try to understand if the values of that program the values of the people there fit with the things that you also value next also remember that balance is super key going to a program of two equal calibers but one does a better job of prioritizing your kind of wellness whether it be giving you more days off or not making you work ridiculous hours or giving you a nice balance between things like icu or busy surgery hours keep all of that in mind because again they're two equally caliber programs in terms of training job opportunities vocation you may want to pick the one that gives you the better lifestyle balance and sometimes the best way to know this is to actually talk to the individual residents there and so again you can look at the reviews and things like proximity as well as when you're on your residency trail ask them like would you have picked this program again how happy are you how well is your life work balance and people that are actually truly honest will give you a good picture of what that means and then you can take their feedback and add those to your notes on that excel sheet that again will be linked down below to really understand okay is this a program that is going to fit with my values and my free time and desires and then finally understand that your training most of all is the most important thing if you're going to go through X amount of years of residence you want to make sure that you become the best physician possible and not just like below average your average and so that was the thing for me when i ranked them yes location was super important but i want to become the best damn doctor possible in three years because i had to do residency anyways i want as well become the best version of myself and so that's why i looked at programs that were at equal calibers and then asked myself okay like these programs of here i'd feel like i'd get great training at now which one ranks better into his location and salary and fit but i started not to really look at programs that didn't actually give me that ability to become a great physician and so while it may seem enticing of saying oh this program offers a better salary or has a better location or has a really push or chill schedule you may want to say okay like is that really what i want do i want three easy years to kind of not have the best training and become a less adequate physician again all residency programs will train you but they may not all train equally well so keep that in line you want to have the best training first and then prioritize the rest of the things that we talked about earlier in this video but that guys is basically how i recommend step by step on how to choose the best residence program for you whether it comes to prioritizing your values first putting the programs and how to do the research and then finally you can use tools like that excel sheet like once you've gotten your subjective of what matters to you out of the way then you can just start putting numbers in to really get a hone of like okay in reality that's the best program for me based off what i think to be important and you don't have to feel like you're torn because then you can just say like okay like that one's number one and that one's clearly number seven while it may feel like it's a close tie this one clearly has the best of the things that i value so hopefully guys this video helped you out and picking the best residency program for you if you guys have any more questions you know where to find me drop your comments down below DM me on instagram send me an email at mbturney.com at tmo.com I'd be happy to answer your questions or make for each of your videos

Hi! Hey, how are you? Okay, thank you as far as it goes. Well, you don't sound like you're in a bad mood, but now I realize why you're in a bad mood. I can totally tell when you get negative like yesterday, but I didn't know why. And no, I didn't, I did not get that whatever time you emailed me Friday. I just assumed, obviously incorrectly, that you got out of everything. And by the way, you missed a great second trade here I called in GE that's going and you signed out right away and you could have done it. This is good. This is good. It's working. It's near the low. What's that? GE? GE. I called this in the room this morning and it looks great. I mean, this is, I mean, so I'm watching this here while I'm with you here now, but you're, as soon as the first trade, if it doesn't work, you just sign right out. Well, the problem I've got is that I'm trading so small now that it's, you know, I take a loss. You called the spy, the spy was out in my price range anyway. So then, well, then why did you sign out? Then you could have done GE. Then you could have done it. Well, yes, there was nothing really stood out that I just thought there's no point me being, I thought I might as well concentrate on the options, which is what I did.   Yes, I took 50% off the table. 50% of every trade or what? By cutting what I said to you, I'm 8,000. Yeah. I've cut 50% of that basically.  Well Qs, you could have got out then up today.  The Qs was the only one that I didn't take. I took the spy. I got out of that a little too soon. Okay. The same with Google, I took that a little bit too soon. Okay. But then again, it was profit and I let Netflix run. And that was the problem. I shouldn't have let it run. I did think that it would open and it would continue on Monday morning, then turn back. It didn't. It opened and it felt like a break. Right. But I gave a lecture on that. And again, you weren't there. You signed out. Look at the chart of Netflix and tell me what you did wrong first. Besides the fact that you're up a million dollars and you didn't get out. Well, that's the obvious thing. Yeah. I mean, I should have taken the money and gone to the bank with it definitely on the Friday. And not bothered with the following day, but I did think it was going. That's why I left it. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. It gapped up Monday morning. Into the open Monday morning when you watched it. What were you up? Well, yes, it did. Yes. I probably will have been up a little bit, but it wouldn't have been up very long. But I've had that before. We had that in Google once where the stock gapped up on earnings and it was very good. It didn't reflect it in the option and it collapsed. This was a very similar situation. Okay. All right. I want to get to a point I'm trying to make here, though. Okay. Then we go back to Friday where you have plenty of time to think. I'm looking at Friday.  What were you up in this tree? About 3,000. Okay. So in your mind, how much had you risked for that? How much did you take in it? I'd rather not say. No, just, I mean, come on, I'm trying to help you here. 1,000, 2,000, 3,000. You are recording this. I know, but I mean, this is, you've got to be accountable for stuff that you're doing and it does help you because you can listen to it back. So what did you risk? I don't know if you're trying to make a point. You risked a lot or risked a little. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I risked 3,000. Oh, you risked 3,000. So you were up 100%. So in your mind, what were you trying to get out of it? So if you had flipped it around, one, what were you trying to get out of it? You see, I'm not looking at this in monetary terms, which is the problem. You see, I know this is our conversations previously. I know, but it's not sinking in with you. Okay, go ahead. I'm looking at the chart. The chart looks great. It is going to go like the dickens, but I mean, you still can't predict everything. Not Monday's bar off. And you look at the run up, the way it ran up those three, on those three green bars, it pulled back slightly. It was off again. I did think that we would have a slight pullback on Monday, not as much as we did. And then continue. I don't know what you're talking about about pullbacks. If the stock opened gapping up, if it would pull back, it would look like this now. So if you were thinking it was going to do that, I don't know why you didn't get out. I don't know why you didn't get out Friday or right away Monday. If you really thought that there was nowhere to go to pull back, except for where it is. This is the smallest baby is pulled back. It could be doing, by the way, which just proves how strong the stock is. But if somebody's going to pull back, it's not going to, if this would have held, it wouldn't have pulled back. So, first of all, stop trying to predict pullbacks, play what's happening. If you're seeing this and you're seeing, forget about the money for a second, although I want to go back to that. If you're seeing, this is what I talked about in the room. Pull up the one minute chart of Netflix from yesterday. Just pull it up. Look at it. I'm not going to even show you mine. Just look at it. Netflix. The one minute chart into the open yesterday, Netflix 312. Yeah. Into the open. Yes. Okay. So, so saying you were a day trader and you were day trading Netflix, what would you have wanted to go along right there? No. Okay. So based on that, you would have, you would say you were in it long, which you were, you would have seen that, you would have said, you would have said something to yourself. You had time to get out of that, not with $3,000 probably, but 2,700, 2,500, 2,600, 2,400, 2,800, whatever it was, you, you had time to look, watch a trade, get an order out, get filled with profit before it fell off a cliff really quick when you were, when it was there. And if you're, if you go, if you, I said this in the room in the morning and you missed it, if you are in something and it goes in your favor, in your favor overnight, I don't care if it's the market, I don't care if it's Netflix, Google, Amazon, anything, anything that's going in your favor, if it's, if it's a short, if it's a long, if it's whatever, if it's in your, it's going into your favor in the gap, where you run more money into the open, you better watch that sucker into the open to see if it's setting up that day as a trade you take as a new trade, because if it's not, then it could do something that tells you you got to get out of it. And Netflix clearly told you in the first 15 minutes of the day, and definitely in the first 30 minutes, and really even the first five, that really you should have gotten out of it, that was okay to hold it, it was actually okay to hold it, because it still could have gone up in the market, went up yesterday, but I'm telling you then, you got to watch it, and that's what you did wrong. I really don't even have a problem with you holding it, because Netflix is so strong.  I don't say that. Well then why do you get out? Why do you get out? But to answer your question, yes, I, I wasn't watching the chart. Unfortunately, and this has happened previously, I've been looking at the day trades, and to be quite honest, I'm just thinking of stopping the day trades, because they are, they're cutting into my concentration. That's not true. That's an excuse. That's an excuse. The only reason you want to stop, it is an excuse. You, the only reason you want to do that is because you're not happy with the size you're taking with the day trading. That's the only reason you want to stop doing it, and if you would be booking these prop, you are not in that many options that you should be, this should be taking away from what you're doing. You're, I'm not calling that many. I don't know what you're doing on your own, but you should not have any point of taking away from day trading from doing the options. It's supposed to make you more money by doing both. You should not and will not have to watch all of these trades every single day. I'm not calling that many, but if you're in something, then you got to watch it if you see you're up a lot, but that's not every day. It's not even two days a week, unless you ran all kinds of things that you've been told me, which I don't think you are, but God only knows you should not need to even watch those, but something like this you would have needed to because it was up, up, up, just like if you had been in Amazon. If you had been in Amazon, which I'll pull up here and look at that one. Actually, can you see my charts here? I don't know if I said it. You can see it. No, I can't see all charts now. All right, hold on here. Yeah, but it's the problem. The problem is you're making excuses about the day trading because you're trading small size. Yes, I know you. I know you. Stop. I know you. There was something if it's not big size, but this just goes to show you you're trading big size. You risk three grand in Netflix, which is big size, and you still can't manage it right. So what does it have to do with anything? If you were six grand in this, you wouldn't have managed it right. You have to correct this problem. You must correct this problem. 2018, this is your year. You have to correct it. I'm not sure though what it's going to take you to correct it, but I know one thing. When this started dropping, I wouldn't answer why you didn't get out of it. With money, why? As you say, I wasn't watching it. You weren't watching it at all? I wasn't watching it. No, I should have seen it. And yes, in hindsight, looking at it now, I should have gone out of it. What did you mean, 10.15? You weren't watching it? 10.30? You weren't watching it? You didn't look at this at all yesterday until the middle of the afternoon. Is that what you're saying? No, no, no, no. No, I'll rephrase that. I've got it on another screen at the day trade platform on the other screen. So you see where it goes on the daily bar, but I didn't, and obviously a lot of the time, these things close, the gaps actually close, and then it continues. It sits on support and then off it goes again. Yes, and that could very well do that. That could very well do it, but you're running out of days, and you're running out of days and you're up a lot. Oh, no. That's the problem. Yes, I made the big mistake. I should have been out on Friday. I realized that I like a weak in hand because it gets to today and the price just collapses. There's nothing there. You know, it moves so quick. You still didn't answer my question why you didn't look at the trade until yesterday afternoon. Well, I did, but I didn't think it was going to come back so far. But it doesn't matter if you are looking at it and you're, now this is, you've got to have rules. I tell you when you're up three grand and all of a sudden you're up 1500, you better get out.  This is what I'm saying.   If you didn't watch this in the first five minutes or the first half an hour because you were day trading fine, when you, you have to check your positions. If you don't, you can check them every day at 10 o'clock, that's fine. But even a 10 o'clock of you would check this. I don't think it would have been, it wouldn't have been completely flipped around.  And, and then it really fell hard obviously after lunch. But the point was you still have to check it. You have to check it. It's not that you have to do everything in the world with it. You have to have it somewhere and check it somewhere between 930 and 1015, 1030. You got to look at your positions.  You know, I don't have a problem with you holding this into Monday. The chart looked great. No one could have predicted that there would have been whatever news that came out or somebody talking on some channel, whatever. But when you watch it and you see it starts to fall away from you, then you got to throw in order out. And I just don't believe that you didn't look at this at all yesterday. I believe you looked at it and saw it down from where you were up.  And then as it kept going and going and going and going, I know you and you say to hell with it. So what did you end up doing with it?  What did you do with it? The money does matter to me. It should matter to you. The money should matter to you. This is what I'm saying. That's what I just said. The money does matter to me. Oh, okay. It does. All right. Good. What did you do? It does matter. It matters incredibly to me. And what did you do? In fact, it's becoming more so mattering to me. But at the same time, you have to point to balance what you're actually seeing on the chart and what that's telling you the next move is going to be. No, this is where you're going like crazy town. When I call the trade and you look at the trade and you see it and you say, yeah, boom, this is a good one. And you take it. Then you have it on.  If it's down half, you decide if you're going to run it out. Say it goes up immediately. You're up right away. So it takes a day, whatever. Then it goes.  You have to have parameters because even though I'm predicting it's going to go here and they go, you still can't predict where it's going to go every second that it's breathing. Is this still going to continue higher? The answer is yes. But for whatever reason, yesterday after it gapped up, even though the market held this fell. And so you have to have parameters where at some point the money does have to come into the equation. And that's where you're not putting the pieces of the puzzle together. After the trade is on, you got to know, and you should know before you take the trade actually, where are you going to get out? And you're looking at the chart. Two days up. Move's two days. Okay. It had the second day up in the gap. That was it. Yeah. I mean, that Friday was the day. That was it. No, that wasn't even it. This has been up for 7,000 days. I don't even know what you mean, two days up. This moved. This has been moving, moving, moving, moving, moving.  I mean, I realize that. But I mean, after a slight retrace, which is what it did with that one small red bar, and then the large green bar on the Friday, I expected more of a move. Why? Why? Why did you expect that? Why? Look at the chart. Why? Amazon is a classic example. I had two contracts in Amazon, and I took it. The target that you said, 160. My target was 170, was 1574. You mean 1560. I'm giving you all the targets. I didn't say it wasn't going to go past there for one. I gave that as the first target. The fact that you chose to go out is fine. You were up money, but that was the first target. I never said it wasn't going to go past there at all. You're not consistent. Take every trade out of the first target. Take every trade out when you're up.  Hold every trade at the dream target. Pick a side. Get in a lane. You're doing everything different, and your results all over the place, and it is painful to see you be up this kind of money and to knock it out. I really thought you got out. I swear to God I thought you got out. I mean, I don't even know why I'm surprised. How did you get out of this thing? You got out of it with a loss, I bet, didn't you? When you saw this yesterday, and it started depleting itself, why didn't you just throw an order out and say, oh my God, 500 bucks. I'll take it. Anything. Anything. Why didn't you do that? Because different options on the different times erode at a different rate. This eroded faster than what I anticipated. Hence, I took a partial loss in it, which obviously I didn't have done. Okay, that still didn't answer my question. When you saw this was down, down, down, falling, falling, falling on the chart in the options train, and you were up three grand, and then you weren't, why didn't you throw an order out to get out with profit? That's a good question.   I'm only up 700 bucks in this now. What's going on? Quick. I'll look at the chart. Oh my gosh, it's 50% retrace yesterday's green bar. The market is red, and it's not going higher yet today. I don't know what's going to happen. I can't let this whole thing go against me. I don't want to take a $3,000 loss in this.  If it sets up again, I'll retake it.  Maybe not in 30 seconds, but at least in a minute or two or five, because these can move so quick. As fast as they can go up, they can go down. Yeah, they can. Definitely. I just, yes, I should have looked at it in a different way. I thought that it would pull back a little bit and then go off again. It did. It is going to. That's exactly what's going to happen, but you have the option only on your part. It will be just to see what happens from now and whether it breaks over that high again from now. I don't think that's going to happen this week. It's Tuesday. No, I don't think it's going to happen. I think it could be a little longer than a week before it goes over. I think we could be coming back further. It doesn't even matter. The train right now is done and it will be trained. It was done after Friday. It was done. That was it. Friday. No, you could have got out of it Monday morning. You could have got out of it Monday morning. Yes, yes, I could have got out of it Monday morning. It could have gone higher Monday. You could have. You don't know because the market didn't. This didn't. But trust me, if the market had, this would have too. So, you know, you don't know. Somebody says something on TV. Some news happens. That is something you can't predict. But the charts telling you that it had a good move. It had the pop. It broke out. It's going to continue higher, but you can't predict when and stop predicting pullbacks. Anyways, I told you that. I think that you've been doing better overall, taking profits this year. But this one here, I, you know, it seems to be, and this is why it's, you know, I just know you. It's, you want to say, well, I'll, I'd do better if I had bigger size, but you proven that you don't. I think that if, you know, the Zen trader, I talked to her, she's taking, she's doing great because she's doing one contract and every one. I mean, I almost think you'd be better if you had less size.  You lost six grand because you risked three and you were up three, you lost $6,000. And when you think of it like that, because that was reality. You had $3,000 and you put $3,000 on. You really lost $6,000. And when you're up money like that, that's how you have to look at it. You have to say, Oh my gosh, this is $6,000. Anytime you're in these options trades, if you risk four and you're up four, guess what? You're really, you could, you could lose eight. The four that you're up and the four that you have risked and you've done that before and you just did it now.  Actually, a hundred percent is great, but either way, even, even, even in the day trades, I'm telling you the way that you have to think about risk is like really, you're really risking what you risk plus what you're up if you don't get out. And then you say, wow, $6,000. I would like $6,000 because right now, today, if you added $6,000 to your account, that's actually what you have in your account. If I don't know if you took the full loss in this, but I'm saying that's what it amounts to. You would have $6,000 more cash, the money that you put on is the risk. And then the profit that you were up, you could add $6,000 onto that account and you'd be happier. You'd be in a better mood right now today if you had $6,000 more in there. And you, that was real. You're telling me I would. Well, I know. That's what I'm saying.  No, it's really cents. There's not only $3,000. It is $3,000. Exactly. It's not only anything, you know. It is value. There is value in it. No, I didn't take the full loss, by the way. All right. Well, then that's, I got out before it went. I mean, it could have tanked, it could have continued. And I do, like I say, I do wonder how far it's going to go, which way now as well. No, don't wonder. Don't care. It doesn't matter. There's no, there's no new trade in here. Just let it be. You do this to yourself too. Then you second guess the decisions that you made, or you'll jump back into this thing right here. I don't see anything right now with this. Let this be. The market is red right now today. I didn't expect that, but who knows.  You're wanting to be so active in these options. The danger is the active things. No, no, I'm specific. Please don't, don't misunderstand me. I, I am very specific in the trades that I take, even on your trades and hence the ones that I have taken and the ones I haven't at certain times, there is a reason for that, which is why you pressed me in your webinar the other night as to why I can't explain it in something like that. But there was a reason behind it. And it's because of the time that we're in at the moment. It's a very unstable time. Hence you get the moves that you get. But that's good. That's good to make money, but you still have to capture the gains when you're up. And you still have to capture the games when you're up. And I think one of the biggest challenges for you is that you're not consistent. I've said it all along and I think that you're still trying to change this big dream trade out of nowhere. If you made, if you made 100% on every trade that you took, which I'm calling a lot of good trades, I mean, some of them aren't working, but a lot of them are. And a lot of them are going 100% and a lot of them are going more. If you would manage to book 100% turn around on all the ones that I've called and even risk three grand, you, I mean, you would be doing a phenomenal. So you're just not consistent with what you're doing. And I just don't know which side of the fence to tell you to be on, but I know you got to pick a side and then you have to stick with it and you can't be upset. If you get out quick, if Amazon goes 100 points over and if you hold it and it falls like Netflix and he can't be upset too. Because see, if you had held Amazon, it wouldn't have mattered if Netflix went bust. If you had got out of Amazon quick and Netflix on the day, then you would have been fine too. Do you see how you did the opposite of both and pick the wrong ones, which inevitably happens when you're not consistent? I know. It's quite ironic. I was whole. I've been holding Facebook and Netflix.  Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen when this has to do with the market. The ones that did go is Facebook. I took half a loss on Facebook as well. That's okay. That's okay. Because if this doesn't work out, which I still remains to be seen, it's still code. But if it doesn't, it will set up again. So that's fine. But again, the consistency. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. You have to be consistent with it. Where are you getting out? You're not consistent with your egg sets. You're awesome. I try to be consistent, but obviously in this situation. I thought that you were. I thought you were doing better with it because she looks really good. I thought you were doing better with it, but now you went off the rails. You went off the rails and I know why you went off the rails because I've been talking about Netflix. It's so, so strong. It's one of the strongest things in the market and you went off the rails because it only had one day and you thought it would keep going and you also went off the rails because you risked three grand. You risked three grand and then all of a sudden you're like, oh my God, I'm going to make 10 grand on this one train. I know. No, I was looking at the chart. It only moved. I mean, I can't remember which day we took it. I think it might have been. I called it on Thursday. I was it on the Thursday. Right. I think I took it and I think I must have taken it at the highest point of the day. So obviously it pulls in. And this was another reason why I haven't straight away being cutting them back because you can get in at a bad price and then you can find they pulls back within to your price. But that's okay. You still should only risk what you're willing to lose. So you cut it 50% on the first day and then it goes on the second day. So you can see my problem. It all depends as well on where you are with that. Here, it doesn't matter. You have to take a risk that you're more comfortable with then. You give yourself some wiggle room. You're giving yourself no wiggle room. I'm looking at this Netflix chart and although you're right, it could have continued for three days after. I don't see that that would have necessarily happened. You didn't email me what to do with this. I assumed you got out. I think everyone did but two people and you. The point is though that I don't know where you're getting from this chart that this would have had another three, four, five, six day run. I mean, I'm just telling them where you're getting it. It ran up three days. Then it came in for two. Then it popped. I mean, just the nature of the chart, it's slowly climbing, slowly pulling back and taking off again. This, these last two, the Friday and today, it's pulled back more than it has done in the whole move up from the ninth. I know, but what does this have to do with anything? I'm still looking at it and I'm saying take away today and yesterday. I don't know where it would have seen that necessarily that this would have gone higher. There would have been no way to really say that other than the market lifting it, which didn't really happen yesterday or today. I'm saying that this stock had a big move, a big move in the first week of March. And then it really didn't pull back at all. It rested, it rested and it popped. So I mean, when you look at something like this, you say Amazon doesn't look anything like this, by the way. Amazon doesn't look anything like this whatsoever. I'll tell you exactly what Amazon's done. Amazon had a move weighing back in the middle of February, then it rested, rested, rested, rested, and it rested in a gapped up every day.  And then it had a nice steady, easy move. This really hasn't had a monster move. If you look at it overall, it hasn't been monstrous. I mean, if you look at the numbers it is, but really on the days, on the live days in the trading, it hasn't been monstrous. This might have continued today if it wouldn't have been for the market, but who knows? But really, this is not the same kind of look of a chart as Netflix. Netflix has had nice smooth, solid green bar days with moves. Amazon really hasn't. It's kind of made some really weird moves in the gaps, but it's still been very profitable if you've traded it right. The fact that you didn't hold it was fine, but again, you weren't consistent. You got out of that quick and held the other one. Get out of both of them quick when you're up or hold them both. Either way, if you had done that, you would have been fine with one of these, but say you had done this, say you had been in it, say you had been up in this here today and the strike was 1550, you'd still be up now, 40 points through the strike, say you were still in the trade. If you see this drop today, would you stay with it and say, oh, it's going to turn around, it's going to go back? No, it expires Friday. You see something's not working. You see it's not buying through. You see it up a lot of money. You see it's over the strike, which Netflix was too, even yesterday morning. You have to at some point use good money management and make a decision and watch what's happened on the live day and decide to get out. You have a problem with exiting trades. It's been your problem for the last two years or longer and it's nothing to do with your day trading. You're making that as an excuse. There's nothing to do with that.  And I'm not saying that you can't, but if you mismanage them, then you can lose. So really the day trading is like chunk of chunk of chunk of it. If you could build that day trading account up and still do this, you'd be great. And I think your eye is more trainable when you're looking at that because if you had looked at these trades, like they were day trades, you would have known exactly what to do because that's what I would have done, but you didn't look at them like that. I taught you how to read the one minute chart.  You are right with that. Yes. That day trading keeps your eye sharp.  Yes. What did you say? I do believe you can make more money doing the options, definitely. The day trades, the time and effort is far more. It's not really more. It's just in the, it's just in the, it's just in portrayed you're looking at it. Yeah, but there's too many variables out there in the day trading platform works. You get hit into the right price. I mean, most of the time my fingers sit on my screen and I can hit the key on time and it just doesn't, doesn't film it. Well, that I don't know. Point to an option. Yes.  And it's not a precise, is it? No, you're just looking at yourself where you're, you're saying if you take five, five day trades equal sometimes what one good option is, but it's all the same thing because you don't get options every day. You don't get options every day and you'd have to risk an absurd amount in every option to be able to have this work out for you as enough as the only thing that you did. And you're not at that point yet.  It's just stretched out. You're doing more trades. You may not make $3,000 in a day trade, but the only reason is because you're not risking $1,000, $1,500 in the trades. The good trades I've called, you could have remade some of that in that. You're not doing it because you're not risking $3,000 and you're not risking $1,500 and you're not because you can't. You have to get that account filled up and when you shine out of the room, two minutes into the day or five minutes into the day and I call a great trading GE, you're not, I mean, you're not going to get anything. You're going to miss lectures. You're going to miss trades if I call a trade, which this was and is, and this is, this looks great. I think it's going to break below. Anyways, the point is though that I don't, I don't, I need you to start doing better with your money management. And that's why I said, I take a couple of minutes to talk to you today and we, we talked now for half an hour, but I really, really, really, really, really need you to start focusing on what's happening with the price action. When you're up a lot in these, you're thinking the chart and the day chart and you're looking at it, but you've got to combine everything together. Money management, day chart, what's happening with the market? What's the one minute chart doing into the open? Is the gapping up, is it holding it or is it collapsing?  If you look at it that way, I know you said you didn't took a full loss, but it really, it's a hundred percent flip around the profit plus the loss. And that's really how you have to look at it because that, that's, that's the money you put on. You invested in a trade that you don't have now anymore. Do you know what I'm saying? Plus the gains. I do. Yes, I do. I mean, yes, looking at Netflix at 10 o'clock, it turned. Well, it was after 10, actually. It was what time will that be? You were still here to start. Yeah, 1006. Yeah. It turned, it turned and then fell again. So it rose back to 10 and then collapsed. You can't tell me looking at that one minute chart. There's anything there that looks like that was going to hold. I looked at it in the room. We talked about it. You missed the lecture. I'm going to go back and look at it.   I mean, literally. No, I wouldn't have gone long it. I'm not looking again. I'm looking at what's telling you that that's going to continue. Yes, it bounced. It dropped at 9.54. It bottomed out. Then it took off again and it's turned six minutes past 10. Then it continued on the downward trend for that day. No, no, no, no. This was kaputzi. Really? If I had been watching this and again, it's so hard to go back. I didn't watch this on the open. I probably would have said sell it right now after 9.30. Right. And if not, I would have said for sure by 9.32. Right. You're trying to rationalize looking at this and then the bigger picture in the chart. But you read this wrong. I got to be honest with you for the day chart, this stock has had a move, move, move. It rested. It did not pull back for two days last week, Wednesday, Thursday. And then it popped. It popped. It was more like a pop than a rally. Then it just popped like a bubble that burst. It was like a lucky trade. I mean, the stock was higher, but it really popped. And that's where you got that balloon effect of the option chain, which makes it be worse so much so quick. You get up in the morning, you were down, and all of a sudden, woo! It's running, running, running, running, running to the moon. And everyone's thinking what you're thinking. It's going to go to 350. It's going to go to 400. I think somebody in the room said 400. I mean, everyone thinks that then. That's why then the option chain goes woo! What you do when it closed the way it closed, and then you think, oh, right, it gaps open again. And you think, oh, it's going again. And it's just pulling back. You wouldn't have thought that after if you would have watched the one-minute chart. You wouldn't have thought that if you watched the one-minute chart. Number one, and number two, if you have money management, not knowing how you go into the weekend with one week left and not knowing the market and what it's going to do, which I think could happen. Not knowing that, you have to say common sense rules the day. I'm of $3,000. I'm going to get out. I'm at $5,000 for the day. I'm going to take it all. I'm going to be happy. I'm going to have an amazing weekend.  One of the things that I thought about this today, and I wanted to tell you this, which I'm glad I thought we're talking today because I didn't think of this last night, this isn't fun for you anymore. You've lost the funness about it. You used to love to trade. You used to love to read charts. You used to love to do it somewhere along the way. This isn't fun for you anymore.  Doing TV right now for me is so much fun. I absolutely love it. When you're doing something that it's fun, it makes it so much better. And you used to love to trade, read charts, make money, do all the things. Somewhere along the way, this has become a big stress ball for you. So now even when you're up, it's stressful because you don't know what to do. And you're trying to make a decision. The fun has gone out of this for you and you got to get the fun back. If you can find a way to make trading fun for yourself again, which I think it is fun. And I think you still think it's fun too in some part inside of you, but it's like the fun part has gone away so that even when something amazing happens, it's like not enough now for you because really Friday was an amazing day for you. And then you didn't capitalize on it. You didn't lock it in. You didn't lock it down. Yes, it is. It's fun making the money. It's fun booking the money. It's funny if you get out. Providing you book the money. Rather than trying to pick a target, think where it's going and folding as well. You're making money stressful now. When you're up, you stress out.  That's what I'm saying. You stressed out. I'm sure at some point on Friday, you sat for an hour or half an hour or thought about getting out, emailed me, tried to look at the chart. We're trying to predict where we go. And you didn't know what to do. And then you end up holding it and you thought you made the right decision. But the fun part was making the money. The fun part was taking the trade and having it be down on Thursday and all of a sudden be up so much. The fun part is saying, oh my gosh, can you believe this works so great? What amazing. The fun part is risking three grand and making three grand. The fun part is looking at the chart and even knowing they could do that at all, even for one day. The fun part, you got to get back to trading because you're missing the fun part. You've lost the fun part of it.  You think of it even as stressed, should I get out or should I hold it?  That's crazy. No, hang on. I'm not complaining. Yeah, you did. You complained. You complained here. You complained in the room. You said, I got out too early. I got out too early. I got out too early. You made at least $1,000, did you? Yes. But it's like I've said to you before, when something goes and it continues to go, you have to capitalize on the ones that work so that they compensate for the ones that don't. But you're not going to in everyone. If you don't hold everyone to big, and if you don't hold everyone to big, and you get out early, then you better get out of all of them early, which you didn't do in Netflix. Make a decision. Pick a choose a lane. I'm saying to you. If you think it's a fight. I did. I did. I chose to hold Netflix. I bought you one. You got to choose. It was the wrong decision. No, you have to decide what you're doing to be consistent with all of them. If you think the most fun thing is to hold every trade to the 100-point move, go for it. Hold them all. Hold them all. Then you would have gotten this. But the point is that you can't have to be consistent. Boom, boom, boom. Have to be consistent.  Or you're holding them all. And if they go, they go. And you're positive, you get out. Or you're holding them for the quick moves. And you're getting out of the whole thing or getting out of half.  You can't pick and choose. First of all, you should be doing all the trades. You didn't do the queues. And that was, even you could have got out of the queues today and still been out. So you should have done them all. But even way, even still, you need to be consistent with the ones that you're doing, and you're not, and you weren't even happy with this. You see where the joy is gone. The joy is lost. You should have been like, yay, I made a thousand bucks on Amazon. You should be laughing like, oh my God, this is crazy. I could have made 10 grand if I had held it.  I get out of this too early. It's all your fault for telling me the first target. You see how all the fun is gone from you. All the fun and the happiness and the looking at this and saying, oh my gosh, can you believe that? It went 60 points or the strike.  The fun, the fun of doing it. If you're going to hold it, hold them on. If you're going to get out of them, make booking the money fun. Choose what is the most, what's the most fun for you? Are you going to have fun when you make 500 bucks or a thousand bucks? Are you going to have fun when you make eight grand in one day? I mean, what is it going to take for you to get the fun back? That's a good question. Well, you better think about it. Obviously got to get it back, haven't I? I mean, I was happy that it was up that amount, but I just didn't book it on that day. And it was purely and simply because I didn't think it was going to continue. Wait, you're talking about Netflix? Are you talking about Netflix? Yeah, Netflix, yes. Yes, I mean, yes. I was happy at the off-riding line. I think you better get out of your head about that because the market's very volatile. And even sometimes, I think somebody's going to continue right-of-ways and it doesn't, even though I'm right a lot.  You need to be more consistent about where you're getting out. You're not doing a good job about predicting what's going to continue. Or not because I bet in your life you never would have thought Amazon would have gone over 1,600 or you wouldn't have gotten out of it. So stop trying to predict the highest point that you could get out. Stop trying to say, well, I didn't get in at the lowest point when I get in.  Find a happy medium that you can live with, holding them all, or getting out of half, or getting out of the whole thing. Find three choices you got, but either way, you better be consistent what you're doing because when the big ones run, you're not going to be in them. And when the ones don't run, you're going to be in them. I mean, look, this is just what happened. You weren't in the queues, ran up huge. You weren't in Amazon, ran up huge. So, you know, and thank God, you did get out of the spot. That was a really nice trade. You captured the gains. You made the great decision there exiting that on Friday. You know, and I thought this would continue here, but once again, it probably still does. We'll just have to see where it does tomorrow. But the point is, find a consistent way to do, and you have to think about how to get the fun back. You got to get the fun back, and you have to get the fun back right now because you're thinking, oh, now I just lost this much money in this, and now I got to take the next one, and now what's going to happen? You're going to get, I'm going to call a million more trades this year. So, don't worry about it, but you have to think right now and decide before the next trade I call how you're going to manage it because you're not consistent, and also how you're going to get the fun back. You see, it's relating how many you're going to call to what I'm going to put on the size. I don't know. I don't know. So, like this last week, I did push it. I pushed it a lot, and I had a lot on the table. So, obviously, if you're calling a lot, then I need to, and I'm relating it to my size, I need to reduce my size for that quantity of options that could be on the table. Well, then figure it out. I mean, sometimes, like I said twice this year, I've called them in waves. That was just, but it's only been twice, but when they have, they've all worked. I mean, Facebook, I don't know yet, but the rest of them did. Either way, the point is that, it's not going to be every week that I'm going to call them like that, but you obviously weren't consistent with that either. You did not risk $3,000 in the spy trade, and so you weren't consistent with your risk either. You weren't. I did. I did risked a lot in the spy trade. Oh, you did risk $3,000 in the spy trade? I had 66 contracts. So, so then did you get out of that with 100% flip around? I got out before really, really got going. I made decent money. I think I made $2,000 in that one, but I could have tripled that.  You have to decide this. You have to decide what you're doing with this.  You have to decide what you're doing here. You must, and then be consistent. Think about that today. Think about that tomorrow, and think about it before I call another trade so that you do the right thing the next time. There is no, there is no wrong answer if you get out early and you're money in them. There's no wrong answer if you hold them because a couple are going to go and be massive trades. What is wrong is when you are doing different things with different trades and different risks and different exits and invariably, like I said, you always choose to hold the one that doesn't go and then you think that there's something wrong, but there's nothing really wrong. And there's nothing wrong with Netflix. I really honestly, looking at this, if you had emailed me about this Friday, you know, this made a pop. It made a pop. It had a really strong move in March. This chart is not like Amazon. On the day, this is different than the way it's been, Amazon's been poop, poop, poop, up, up, up. These charts don't look the same, but either way, it's still the point that you're up a lot of money and you should have got out with some profit. A hundred bucks. I mean, a break even. You know, it's difficult to see you take a loss in something you were up three grand in. Yeah, you're right there. Bow to yourself. You're never going to do it again. Write it in blood. I'm serious. I mean, I'm serious. It does nothing to yourself when you lose. It just tips away at you. No, sometimes you're going to lose. The trades don't work. Sometimes it's going to happen. It's just part of life, but you can't control that. You can't control being up $3,000 and letting yourself lose $3,000. That you can't control. So the things you can't control is nothing you can do. But that isn't most of the time. It's only a little bit of the time. And you can't be managed yourself then. So you'll keep loving yourself every day. And you've got to find a way to get tough and love yourself through these mistakes you're making. But how are you going to do it?  Say it. Get angry. Say, I am never going to do this again. And then find the happiness back in trading. Find the joy. What makes you happy? Does it make you happy to see three grand on the screen? Does it make you happy to have the Amazon run up to the moon? Or does it make you happy just taking a trade in the morning at 10 and getting out with 500 bucks at 11? The one guy got out of that spot today. He made $600. He was happy as a clam. So what's going to make you happy? Making money? No, you have to be more specific than that. Because obviously making money doesn't make you happy or you would have got out of netbooks for $3,000. Like I say, I was following the chart. And yes, on the Monday, I should have been out of it. But I just didn't think he was going to come back so far. I didn't think he was going to go a little further. And that was my problem. If you go buy the money, then on Friday, be out. Be out. Take the money. I have previously taken the money. Like I said before. I don't think you're good enough at reading charts to determine it by the chart. I don't think you are because I would have looked at this and I would have said that was a pop-up. It was a breakout pop-up that just broke out for the day. I wouldn't have said this is going to run up for five more days. I wouldn't have said that. I mean, it's hard to look at it now and say that obviously. But I can see the way it traded in the first week of March. It's not the same as Amazon. And it did not have to continue. And it will continue. But now who's to say where? This could pull all the way back to 300 or 270 before it goes up again. Or it could pop over tomorrow. This has had a huge, massive move. You're looking at it too much in a vacuum. You've got to look at this stock since the gap up that happened in the earnings back in the middle of January. And then I've got to go after this. But look at that gap up. The stock gapped up. You know, I don't know how many points to the gap up here. Let's just see. Close the 227. Open. It gapped up 30 points. Gapped up 30 points held. Held and has run up 100 points.   I don't know if you did all of them or made money in all the ones I've called since then. But I mean, I've called so many in this. They've all worked.  There's no reason to read this if this would keep going after that call last week. Forget about the market. This stock is tired. It is still higher. But I don't know when. It needs a break.  Look what it's done. Yes. Yes. Okay. Right. Listen, I want you to do well. This is your year. I really thought you were getting better. I still think you're getting better. But you can't give up on the day trading because it keeps you sharp. When you're in stuff, you got to look at it in the morning. If that means you don't day trade that morning, then fine. But you can't forget your positions. But either way, you need to come up with a consistent money management plan, number one. And number two, you need to figure out what you're going to do to make yourself happy. Because somewhere along the line, you're losing the fun of it. The fun is going out of trading for you and you got to find it back. I believe that you can find it back. But I don't know what that is going to be for you. And you got to find that back. Because when you do something and it's fun, it's even when you lose, you're not going to be so stressed out. It's like, well, things didn't work out as great as I thought that day. But I still love what I do. And that's kind of how you have to look at it. But if you are just miserable every day, even when you win, then it's like something's wrong. Yes. Yeah. You're right. Okay, thank you. I really hope you get these things right this year. I just...   I said, you just do the mentoring sessions with me and we'll do a session when you're trying to decide if you should get out of it. And I'll tell you, get out of it. I know, I know. And if I'd done the right thing this week, there would have been no problem. Absolutely. You obviously missed the bit that said, unrealized. I get 100 emails a day. I know. I do expect you to see... I expect you to just scan and just glance. I really do. I can fully appreciate your position. I'm sorry. I should have said, I am not out of this yet. I know. It's my own... But if you had said that to me, I would have... Would you have gotten out? I don't know.  Well, if you had said to me, what are you doing in that? You know, you should be out. I would have been out of it, Melissa. Most definitely. But I said congratulations. What did you think I was congratulating you for? Taking the trains? I mean... Yes. I don't know. I mean, they're trains I call, obviously. I mean, it's like, doesn't...  The your... I'm just gonna say this one thing, and I gotta go. The brain power comes is you have to decide what to do. After I call the train, after you take it, then it's yours. It's your baby. The girls? You have to take care of that baby.   That's why I look at other things to give me an idea of where something's going in the future. Well, they're not helping. Which you find helpful, which I disagree. But even if you do, you can't ignore the money. Correct. Thank you. Write up some kind of plan and action for yourself and stick to it. Before the next trade is called. And we'll watch Facebook and see what it does. I have no idea here. I really, really don't. But if this fails, then I'm sure it'll set up again. Same thing with the spy for sure. And obviously you're out of the Netflix. And we'll see. We'll see. There's going to be tons more trades. I just think that you have to be more consistent with what you're doing. And you got to find the fun back for yourself in trading. And I don't know what that is. But I really, really seriously think that you need to think about that. I do. Yes. Thank you. I do. All right. That's good talking to you, Philip. You too. All right. Have a good day. Take care. Okay. Bye. Thanks. Bye.
