Why I’m in love with Trading

Dear Traders,

This morning, my main focus was SMCI, and it checked every box I look for in a high-quality day trading setup. The key reason why this trade turned out profitable was the preparation before the market opened.

Even though the overall market including SPY, QQQ and major tech stocks were all selling off, traders in our community and myself were able to ride this clean opening range breakout long.

During our premarket preparation inside BBT’s live trading room, we identified the next realistic upside target at $34.93, a key level from the daily chart. On Market Atlas, we also noticed significant ASK orders stacking near that level, confirming it as a liquidity magnet for price to get there realistically. Once the market opened, my job was to wait for the setup to form.

My entry setup happened in the $33 area, after price reclaimed VWAP and held above the 1-minute opening range. This is my favorite entry setup for momentum continuation. There was no chasing, purely entering based on a strategy that I rinse and repeat every day.

Risk management was clearly defined:

• Initial stop loss was placed just below VWAP
• As price moved higher, the stop was trailed along VWAP, locking in gains while staying in the trend

Profit-taking was intentional, not emotional.

• Partial profits were taken around $34
• More locked in near $34.40
• Final target reached at $34.93, the preplanned key level

This trade resulted in a 1R risk for approximately 4R reward. More importantly, this trade didn’t result in fancy huge profit figure, but it was a textbook example of process-driven trading that’s repeatable for us to make a decent income.

This is why I’m in love with day trading. 

There’s no other job in this world that comes with the same level of freedom and reward if you have the right strategy and mindset. Even on a day when investors are watching their net worth go down, day traders can still find great opportunities to make a decent income.

Inside our live trading community this morning, members didn’t just see the outcome. They watched the trade unfold in real time, heard my thought process live, and learned why SMCI was the stock to focus on today.

This is exactly how I want to help new traders in our community. Trading should be learned live, transparent, and repeatable. As we are one week away from Valentine’s day, I want to do something for my newsletter readers.
