You don't become a trader by clicking buy or sell.

You become a trader after losing money that hurt.

After 10 straight losses that made you question everything.

After missing nights out because you had to be up at 4:30am.

After watching friends build careers while you're alone studying levels nobody else cares about.

After turning down stable jobs because you believed in something you couldn't yet prove.

After wondering if you've wasted years of your life chasing something that might never work.

And still showing up the next morning anyway.

When you feel like quitting, remember what you've already paid to get here.

The freedom is real.

The life is real.

Don't stop now.

Society says: “Don’t talk to strangers.”

Strangers will root for you more than friends and family.

The people closest to you will pray for your downfall while some random guy on the internet encourages you to keep going.

Okay we SURVIVED FOMC week. 📈

What a volatile one...

We saw a gap up in $SPX on Monday... Red days on Tuesday and Wednesday, then big gap up Today.

$SPX and $QQQ both look like they want to test all time highs again. SPX to 8000 $QQQ to 800 in play this year.

ENJOY THE LONG WEEKEND EVERYONE.

I'll post my plan and charts on Sunday!! 🫡

There are 2 steps to becoming a good trader:

1) Learn to wait longer than feels comfortable
2) Learn to lose without it breaking you

TRADE PLAN for June 18th 📈

$SPX strong recovery overnight, SPX through 7500 can move another 30-40 points today. It's a big gap up so be careful chasing at the open. IF SPX gives up 7400 this month it can drop another 100 pts

$MU up 50 premarket, MU Through 1100 can run to 1200+ next week. Calls can work above 1100 for today

$MRVL setting up for 320.. MRVL through 320 can move to 335-340

We're seeing a big gap up in $QQQ as well, its up 12 pts premarket, watch to see if it dips back near 730-731 for an entry to go long.

Good luck everyone!! 🫡

I’ll share this advice from 34 years trading. Avoid setting daily P&L targets or cash amounts etc. The most important thing is to focus on your trading process. Not getting back lost $ or revenge trading either. These accelerate the sink rate. It messes with your head. Each trade is like a wresting match & not March Madness. Trust me, in the long run your trading will gain consistency when the process is the focus. 💯

🚨 THEY DON’T WANT THIS PUBLIC, SO I’M POSTING IT.

What you’re looking at in this image is HOW THE GAME IS ACTUALLY PLAYED.

Insiders don’t care about RSI, MACD, or whatever indicator is trending this week.

They care about WHERE LIQUIDITY SITS, WHO’S TRAPPED, AND HOW TO FORCE REACTIONS.

Retail looks at a chart and sees chaos.
Institutions see the SAME STRUCTURES REPEATING OVER AND OVER.
- QML setups
- Fakeouts and liquidity grabs
- Demand and supply flips
- Compression into expansion
- Stop hunts disguised as breakouts
- Flag limits
- Reversal structures that repeat cycle after cycle

NONE OF THIS IS ACCIDENTAL.

Every pattern on that chart exists for one reason:

TO MOVE PRICE INTO AREAS WHERE ORDERS ARE STACKED.

Once you understand that, a lot of things stop hurting you.

You stop chasing green candles. You stop panic-selling red ones. You stop getting liquidated on moves that felt “random.”

This is why MOST TRADERS LOSE.
They react to price instead of understanding WHY PRICE IS MOVING.

The people who survive this market spend years studying charts like this until it finally clicks.

After that, the market feels SLOWER, CLEARER, AND FAR LESS EMOTIONAL.

Save this image. Study it.

If you can learn to read WHAT INSTITUTIONS ARE DOING instead of guessing what comes next, you’re already ahead of 99% OF PEOPLE HERE.

I’ve been in this game for over 15 years and have called all the major market tops and bottoms publicly.

If you want to see my next move, follow me and turn notifications on.

Non-followers will regret it. As always.

I started learning how to code about 10 years ago, just messing around and teaching myself the basics. Didn’t realize back then how much it would help me now... I use it to build my own trading scanners, automate tasks, and customize my businesses. Coding turned into a tool that saves me time and helps make me money today. #thestrat #trader

🍲 The Pressure Cooker Analogy
Picture a pressure cooker on the stove.
When you put food inside, close the lid, and heat it up — all that steam gets trapped.
The longer it cooks without releasing, the more pressure builds up inside.
When that lid finally pops… all that pressure blows off fast and hard.
📊 How That Relates to the Double Inside
Each inside bar is the market tightening up, like turning up the heat.
A single inside (1) is already compression.
A double inside (1-1) is like turning the heat up twice with the lid still on — the market is squeezing super tight.
When it finally breaks (2-up or 2-down), all that pent-up energy explodes into a powerful move. #thestrat #trader

If you haven’t traded the same exact setup for a full month, you haven’t even scratched the surface of trading. I traded nothing but Failed 2’s for an entire year before expanding into other Strat combos. Lock in!!!

To the people who constantly deal with an immense amount of pressure & stress to accomplish your goals…

I’m not the person to tell you to slow down or let up.

I’m the person to tell you to keep fucking going.

This is exactly what it’s supposed to feel like when you going towards greatness.

Remember who you are and who you do it for. Enjoy the journey & the process more than outcomes.

[Mr.Failed2 @MrF2rev]

If someone is teaching you a strategy and they never bring up higher timeframes, that’s a red flag. A real trader knows the bigger timeframes control the smaller ones. Without that context, you’ll just keep getting chopped up. Stay away from anyone who ignores the higher timeframes #thestrat #Failed2Gang

Focus is important.
Hardest part is waiting for the trades that matter.
You'll make more, keep more, and work less.
In the end, the final boss is you.

TRADE PLAN for Thursday ✅

$SPX consolidation day after the gap up this morning. SPX if it reclaims 6469 we can see 6500 test next. SPX 6500 will be a tough level to break. PPI numbers coming premarket tmrw as well can move the marerket.

$QQQ reversed from 583 to 579 at the lows, QQQ needs to defend near 580 over the next 2 days otherwise we can see a dip towards 574 again next week. I'd wait for 583-584 to consider calls.

$AAPL lots of relative strength today. AAPL can test 237-242 as long as 232 holds tomorrow .
AAPL Aug 15 235C can work above 233

I'd wait for the reaction after PPI and see if $SPX $QQQ can reclaim todays highs before considering calls tomorrow. Good luck everyone!! 🫡

[EliteOptionsTrader @EliteOptions2]

Aug 13 Premarket TRADE PLAN 📈

$SPX another gap up today.. we should see 6500 test by tomorrow. IF through SPX can run to 7000 this year. Calls can work above 6469.

$PLTR 2 pt gap up, setting up for a 200 test in the next few days. Calls can work above 188 for today.

$ETH that all time high coming soon, IF through 7000 coming, $BMNR to 80 in play. Calls can work above 70 for BMNR.

Do. Not. Fight. The. Trend. No reason to go short quite yet. Good luck today everyone! 🫡
