Still a negative EV high dispersion market i think. Still leaning toward inaction, personally.

Red flags over the last few weeks coming to a head this week. Retirmenet mode until setups show up. Catalysts can still be traded as always with selectivity and care.

The first episode of the Market Master Podcast is now live on $SPOT. Might need to turn down the volume at the start since the AI audio processing mixed it kind of loud. And I'm backpacking around Asia so I don't have a real recording setup for the time being. But I think the audio quality is fine for now.

Had this feeling last two weeks or so. Upon reflection,

DO LESS TRADING.
Get order of operations right:
1) your mindset comes first before anything else and any trading. So a calm relaxed state which finds trading joyful. That needs to be achieved first and foremost. If you are feeling in a rush all the time, like you “need “ to do something - it’s a sign you’ve become attached to outcome which means with high likelihood you will sabotage your process. If you need to take a day off, do so. If The more fomo and tilt you feel the longer it takes “off the felt” (off the screens) to heal it. But generally 2/3 days of full rest should be sufficient. Everyone is different.
Contemplation in silence (meditation) upon the right state / config of the mind is fruitful during this time.

2) re focus on the basics and doing them right.
- what are the leading stocks? Do they have pivots? Are breakouts working ? Isolate what doesn’t matter presently … (someone else’s performance, how you missed huge movers).

3) elite stocks with proper buy points (or A/A+ setups only) = elite results. Repeat mantra.

4) protect confidence and mental capital. Overtrading in a choppy tape -> kills confidence and consistency —> will prevent you from maximising EV from 5* spots.
I could have just replaced (4) with “appreciate the value of patience”.

It’s simple things really, more nurture and centering of the mind. More patience. More consistency with doing simple tasks which are part of your process. Just need a timely reminder now and again. Hence check in with how you feel more often. Not feeling at ease? Go back to step (1) forget everything else.

Refocus on doing these things and down regulate focus on results and recent performance.

That’s my note to self too.

The Parabolic Short.

I’ve dedicated weeks to crafting this detailed write-up as I couldn’t find many thorough resources explaining how to actually identify and trade the setup.

For educational purposes, this post is completely free and accessible to all. It draws on my studies throughout the years and concepts I've learned from market wizards such as @Qullamaggie @TheOneLanceB @TheShortBear & @stamatoudism

I hope that everyone finds it valuable! More free newsletter content coming soon.

Another Eventful Week in the Markets.

Indexes pulling back on the geopolitical escalation. Still trading above the 21-DMA. $VIX spiking back above 20. Crude Oil +8% on the day.

Starting to see some momentum slow down in individual names and not seeing that explosive follow-through. It may just be a sign that these stocks/markets need to consolidate the big moves from the April lows.

Exposure/Sentiment is not as off-side as it was for the early part of the rally but still underexposed given market is a few percent from ATH's. NAIIM exposure is only at 82.66 and tend to see turning points in the market when that reaches 90/100.

Some thematic sectors weakening while others are gaining strength. Rotation is healthy and the lifeblood of a bull market.

Quantum looks like it needs a breather - $IONQ $RGTI $QUBT $QBTS

Cyber Security remains strong - $CRWD $ZS $RBRK

Visa & Mastercard rolling over $V $MA

Drone Stocks are one of the few speculative sectors holding up - $ONDS $UMAC $RCAT $USAR Etc.

Military & Oil stocks closed the week strong with the influx of war escalation - $EQT $LMT $AR Etc.

Nuclear/Power Generation stocks a big highlight from this week - $SMR $OKLO $LEU $GEV $VST

Bitcoin consolidating under highs - $CEP $MSTR $COIN

$OUST Small Cap Lidar Name - Huge move this week.

$PLTR New Highs... Crazy Strong

Names like $HIMS $BROS $HOOD $NBIS $CRWV $TEM $NVDA $SNOW $ALAB $TMDX Etc likely just need more time... 50% ++ moves off the lows.

$CRWV The #1 risk on stock of the market flagging at highs after a triple digit move from the IPO breakout. If this starts to break down that could be ugly for tech & beta.

The expectation remains that pull-backs on leading stocks in leading groups are OPPORTUNITIES.

Not the time to be a hero or overly aggressive anymore. Be patient and let trades flow to you.

Hope Everyone Has A Great Weekend. Cheers 🥂🥂

This is a very good 101 for Qullamaggie style swing traders who want to compound quickly

I started doing these Chart Talk streams. Here’s episode 3, where I brain dump my strategies for growing small accounts fast using swing trading prep and day trading execution. I messed up the recording quality, but if you want to binge my brain for 3 hours, go for it: https://t.co/tebBOF8N4T

Even though I don't use TA in my process, there were a couple of great lessons from this year in the stock market and Bitcoin that were worth sharing that go beyond your classical TA.

Nailing a trade idea is only half the battle — execution is everything.

You can be right on the idea and yet still lose money if you pick the wrong vehicle or size it too big.

[Dolan V. Kent @DolanVKent]

@Rnddude1 Hey! Yes I could have made it more clear. The top section is tracking the breakouts. If they fail the entry they get a strike.

The latter list is a more general grouping of stocks irrespective of entry tactics
