🚨 Desk Alert: Today’s PlayBook Review Alkin Takes the Hot Seat 🚨 SMB Inside Access Team, Today we’re back for another mentoring session our traders have used for over 15 years to build their trading business: the PlayBook. Alkin Meletiou is stepping into the hot seat to deconstruct a live setup from his trading ledger: The 2nd Day Play in $SOXL. Let me be clear: the 2nd Day Play is one of the two best trades to learn and develop as a trader. If you pinned me down and asked for my top 3 trades for new and developing traders, a 2nd Day Trade makes that list every single time. On our top desk, Nano has repeatedly noted how instrumental learning this trade was for his career—and how much value Steve Spencer has added by continually pounding the table for desk traders to take it. If it’s good enough for a top trader on our top team in 2025, it ought to grab your undivided attention. This is an absolute must-add to your PlayBook. I’ve graded hundreds of these presentations over the years. Our desk benchmarks: 80 — Junior Intern 85 — Senior Intern 90 — New hire Today, we’re putting Alkin through our standardized 10-point scorecard live. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN 1. The Power of the 2nd Day Play Why this setup is a foundational building block for consistent, professional traders—and how Day 1 institutional sponsorship sets up asymmetric Day 2 continuation. 2. Systematic Trailing vs. Leaving R on the Table Alkin backtested VWAP, 9 EMA, and bar-break trails. We’ll examine why the VWAP trail paid over +3R while tighter bar breaks choked off the second leg. Are you cutting your winners too early just to see green P&L? 3. Technology & Team Collaboration Alkin built a custom Pine Script screener to filter Day 1 candidates before sharing them with his pod. We’ll look at how using technology to systematize your universe directly fuels desk collaboration. 4. Confirmation on the Open When a high-momentum asset gaps down 3.0% against a roaring market, how do you wait for price to confirm the reclaim before striking? 5. The 10-Point Scorecard Audit Presentation diligence is a direct proxy for trading discipline. We’ll grade Alkin across all 10 variables, from Reading the Tape to Trade Management. Get off the sidelines. Come support Alkin in the hot seat, bring your questions, and let’s see what grade he earns today. Will Alkin pass? 📍 SMB Inside Access — The PlayBook ⏰ Wednesday at 1:30 PM EST One Good Trade, Bella
