I made a social media page for my real estate business and this was the first DM I got...

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

3 years on X. 6 years on Stocktwits.

This week alone:

→ Someone left corporate and now trades for a living - spends 3x more time with family
→ Someone expecting their first baby has the funds to give them the best life
→ Someone paid off their parents' mortgage

I get to be part of stories like this every single week.

If I had to give you ONE post to follow to the T - this is it.
The framework that's helped change lives:

A). Technical Analysis

Price action. 2 moving averages (9 EMA and 21 EMA). Volume. Bull flags. Wedges.

Relative strength on red days.

That's it.

B). Allocation

No more than 15% per trade. That's the limit, not the goal. Most trades should be 7-10%.
The 15% is reserved for your highest conviction setups only.

C). Stop Loss

Your SL is NOT optional. If you can't pre-define your loss, you shouldn't be in the trade.

Valid stop loss levels:
→ Horizontal support
→ Swing low
→ Undercut of a moving average

Anything else is a guess.

D). Trade Frequency

Long term investor: 15-20 trades per year
Swing trader: 15-20 trades per month
Day trader: Only when you see an opportunity

Overtrading kills more accounts than bad setups.

E). Sentiment Lows (Where Fortunes Get Built)

VIX at 30 → You buy.
VIX at 50 → You buy more.
VIX at 70 → You buy as much as you can.

(That last one comes once a decade. Don't be one of the people who fumbles it.)

F). Events & Assets to Avoid

→ Bio companies with binary catalysts
→ Stocks heading into earnings (unless that's your edge)
→ Halted stocks
→ Low float pump and dumps
→ Anything you can't explain in one sentence

G). Environment Check

Track sector rotation.
Watch bonds, yields, and the dollar.
Monitor NAAIM, AAII sentiment.
Stocks making new highs vs new lows.

This tells you what kind of market you're in BEFORE you trade it.

H). People to Follow

→ Those who take accountability
→ Those who are open about losses
→ Those who actually share real positions (not just hindsight wins)
→ Those willing to admit when they're wrong

The impact this platform allows me to make is unmatched.

This is the real power of community, humility, and paying it forward.

200,000 people now follow me between two platforms. I'm the only one who hasn't changed. Still read every comment. Still reply to the ones where I can offer real value. Still take losses publicly. Still call my own mistakes out before anyone else does.
That's not going to change at 500K. Not at a million. Not ever.

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

One thing about gaps:

Gap ups act as support below current price.
Gap downs act as resistance above current price.

Once an upside gap is filled and price pushes past it, that gap line becomes new support.

Same in reverse. When price breaks the gap-up support, that line flips and becomes resistance.

Put 3 years in- you will see it
Put 5 years in - you can make a killing from it.

[Data Driven Stocks @stockdatamarket]

If you want to understand what actually happened in the stock market on June 5, 2026, you first need to understand the VIX.

We had the most oversold VIX and VIX futures since Christmas, all while navigating the most uncertain macro environment since the 1973 oil crisis.

An extremely oversold VIX never ends well. Never.

Especially when CFTC data showed substantial short positioning in VIX futures.

Mondays after terrible Fridays for the NASDAQ

[Bull Theory @BullTheoryio]

🚨 EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG FOR MARKETS WENT WRONG TODAY.

S&P 500 down -1.65%, wiping out $1.14 trillion.
Nasdaq down -2.60%, wiping out $1.11 trillion.
Gold down -3.38%, wiping out $1 trillion.
Silver down -6.9%, wiping out $280 billion.
Bitcoin down -6.31%, wiping out $80 billion.

In total $2.5 TRILLION wiped out in a single session. These were not isolated moves. Everything started breaking at the same time.

It started with the jobs report this morning.

The US economy added 172,000 jobs in May. Wall Street expected 88,000. That is almost double.

On any normal day, strong jobs is good news. But inflation is already at 3.8% and oil is sitting at $90. A labor market this strong tells the Fed it cannot cut interest rates and may actually need to raise them.

The probability of a rate hike this year went from 40% to 57% in a single day. That spooked every investor holding tech and growth stocks because higher rates mean those stocks are worth less today.

Then the AI trade started cracking.

Yesterday Broadcom reported record earnings: revenue up 48%, AI chip sales up 143% and the stock still crashed 12.6%. The reason was simple.

Broadcom did not raise its AI revenue targets for the year. Investors had expected it to. That single miss made people ask a question they had been avoiding for months: are we paying too much for AI stocks?

That question got louder today when a research firm called SemiAnalysis revealed that Nvidia's next-generation AI chips will need significantly less memory than everyone assumed, roughly half of what the market was pricing in.

Memory chips are what companies like SK Hynix and Samsung make. SK Hynix fell nearly 10% today. Samsung fell over 6%.

South Korea's entire stock market crashed 5.5% in a single session. Japan's semiconductor stocks did the same.

And then Anthropic added fuel to the fire by publishing a report warning that AI is getting close to the point where it can improve itself without human help and calling for a global pause in AI development.

Coming on the same day as the memory demand news and Broadcom's miss, it fed a single growing fear across the market: what if the AI boom is moving faster than the business models can keep up with?

Underneath all of this, there is a liquidity problem nobody is talking about.

SpaceX goes public next week at a $1.75 trillion valuation. Anthropic just filed to go public. OpenAI is next.

These three companies together are worth $4 to $5 trillion. Fund managers need cash to buy into these listings.

But cash levels are already at their lowest since early 2024. The only way to raise cash is to sell what they already own. That selling is happening right now.

The new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will also hold his very first policy meeting in 11 days. He was appointed by Trump with the expectation of cutting rates.

He is now walking into a situation where inflation is high, oil is high, and the job market is running hot. Investors do not know what he will do.

When nobody knows what the most powerful central banker in the world will decide in less than two weeks, the safest move is to reduce risk today.

Everything that could go wrong, went wrong at the same time. A hot jobs report, a collapsing ceasefire, a crack in the AI trade, a trillion dollar liquidity drain, and a Fed meeting with no clear outcome.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

What just happened?

The S&P 500 just erased nearly -$2 TRILLION of market cap just hours after 3rd strongest US jobs report in 18 months.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is officially down over -50% from its record high in October 2025.

What's happening? Let us explain.

HOW TO READ THE TAPE WITH LEVEL 2 DATA

So many traders ask me if reading the tape works and how I do so. This video finally explains!

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

Mayo Clinic data found that individuals living within one mile of a golf course have a 126% higher risk (more than double the odds) of a Parkinson's diagnosis compared to those living six or more miles away

👇🏼 $SMH this is a very scary looking chart. Maybe did not work out this week but out of positions now.

I am in cautious mode going into June.

[Data Driven Stocks @stockdatamarket]

Funds started today a heavy hedging for S&P 500 / $SPX for June.

[The Assembly @InTheAssembly]

SpaceX is about to be the largest IPO in human history.

But here’s the catch…

It’s also going to be the trade most retail investors REGRET for the next 5 years.

Here’s why, and the 4 space stocks I’m actually paying attention to instead:

On June 12, SpaceX will list on Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX.

The expected valuation is around $1.75 trillion.

That’s more than twice the previous record IPO, and more than the GDP of all but a handful of countries on earth.

But even if SpaceX doubles from there, your return is 100%.

In the same window, a small cap space stock with the right setup can do 5x or 10x.

The math simply does not work for retail investors hoping for asymmetric returns from a trillion dollar IPO.

You are buying a fully priced, fully discovered, fully institutional name on day one.

The real money in space is not SpaceX.

It’s in the smaller, less-followed public names that will get revalued the moment SpaceX trades.

Here are the 4 I am watching:

VELO Velo3D

3D prints metal parts inside SpaceX's Raptor engines. SpaceX backed them early and was their first customer. The cleanest direct supplier name on the public market.

RDW Redwire Space

The picks and shovels of space infrastructure. Solar arrays, deployable structures, microgravity manufacturing. The stuff every satellite and spacecraft needs.

BKSY BlackSky

Real-time earth observation satellites with major defense and intelligence customer base. Sub-billion-dollar market cap with a Pentagon backlog.

GHM Graham Corporation

Rocket turbopumps through its Barber-Nichols subsidiary. Already supplies multiple US launch players. Nobody is pricing the space exposure inside this name.

Most of these sit between $1 billion and $4 billion market cap.

Meaning even if they 5x to 10x from here, they would still be relatively small businesses.

That’s the power of an asymmetric bet. Either it goes to zero, or it does 5x to 10x over the next few years.

At The Assembly, we are a team of 8 with one goal: help you find the right stocks early.

Turn notifications on so you don’t miss our alerts. This is EXTREMELY important.

If you are not following us yet, you will understand later why that was a mistake.

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

A reminder which will help you become 5x better

There were a lot of stocks which went to their 21EMAs yesterday.

That’s the cheat code- Trending stocks near 21EMA is the optimal entry point

$MRVL
$ARM
$COHR
$GLW
$INTC
$NBIS
$NVTS
$HUT
$BE

We own all of them. And just passing info
Everyone knows the 21EMA trick and this is a reminder for you all to use it more often

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

Rule of thumb.

When insiders are buying, you pay attention.

When analysts upgrade, you realize institutions already bought.

When Reddit's talking about it, you're probably late.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

This is absolutely insane.

President Trump is currently flying to China with all of the following people to request "deals" with China's President Xi:

1. Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO
2. Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO
3. Tim Cook, Apple CEO
4. Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO
5. Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone CEO
6. Kelly Ortberg, Boeing CEO
7. Brian Sikes, Cargill CEO
8. Jane Fraser, Citigroup CEO
9. Larry Culp, General Electric CEO
10. David Solomon, Goldman Sachs CEO
11. Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron CEO
12. Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm CEO

President Trump also says there are "many other" CEOs joining him on the trip who have not yet been disclosed.

Never in history has such a trip even remotely near this scale and caliber occurred.

This Trump-Xi meeting is far bigger than most realize.

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

Missing $INTC is 2026's biggest lesson.

Missing $MP and $USAR will be the second.

Government backing. Mega cap support.

[L2WTrades @L2WTrades]

90% of traders lose money for a reason the industry will never tell you

it's not psychology. it's not discipline. it's not your strategy.

it's that you're trading WITHOUT the filters that tell you when to sit out

one of my students figured this out after blowing $70,000+

now he makes $30k/month. here's what changed:

the market only does ONE thing:

it moves from liquidity pool to liquidity pool

that's it. that's the entire game.

- sweep the stops (external liquidity - swing highs and lows)
- fill the gap (internal liquidity - fair value gaps)
- target the opposite side's stops
- repeat forever

every. single. day.

but here's what prop firms and gurus won't teach you:

the sequence is PREDICTABLE. and there are 5 filters that tell you exactly when to trade it and when to sit out

it's not random. it's not "manipulation." it's a mechanical cycle that repeats across every asset and every timeframe

and once you see it, you can't unsee it

my student was taking 48 trades per week trying to "catch moves." entering every gap. trading every sweep. chasing every candle that looked like a setup

now he takes 4-6 trades per week. same strategy. same levels. same gaps

the difference is 5 filters that eliminated every low-probability entry he was taking

FILTER 1: CANDLE PROFILE

before he looks at any setup, he checks the 4-hour candle he's trading inside. is the wick small enough to support expansion? is it opening in the right direction - low first for bullish, high first for bearish?

if the wick is large, it's a reversal candle. it's not going to expand. any setup inside it will chop him up. he closes the laptop

this alone eliminated 40% of his trading days. all losing days

FILTER 2: SESSION PROFILE

if the previous session reversed, this session continues from a gap. if nobody reversed, this session is the reversal. the 6AM candle confirms which one

he knows the direction before 9:30 opens. before that he was showing up at 9:30 and "reacting to price action." that's not trading. that's guessing with a chart open

FILTER 3: CORRELATED ASSETS

NQ sweeps a high. he checks ES and YM. did they follow?

both followed → no divergence → no edge yet → wait
one didn't follow → crack in correlation → the sweep is fake → look for reversal entries
YM closes opposite direction at the key level → strength switch → highest probability entry of the day

he was watching one chart for 3 years. the answer to every fake breakout was on the chart right next to it

FILTER 4: GAP SELECTION

not every gap is worth trading. the gap has to be within the upper half of the previous candle's range. close proximity to the opening price

if the gap is deep in the range, price retracing to fill it creates a large wick on the 4-hour. large wick = no expansion. the trade is dead before it starts

he was entering any gap that "looked clean" on the 5-minute. now he only enters gaps that are aligned with the 4-hour candle profile

FILTER 5: V-SHAPE CONFIRMATION

when price hits the gap, he needs to see the V-shape. expansion into the key level. sharp displacement candle in the opposite direction. new gap forms. price expands away

no V-shape = no entry. doesn't matter how perfect the level looks. choppy price action inside the gap without displacement is a fake reversal

before these filters: 48 trades per week. 41% win rate. -$48,000

after these filters: 4-6 trades per week. 67% win rate. +$12,000/month

not because he got better at "reading charts"

because he stopped entering when the filters said no

the industry sells complexity because complexity = more courses

the system is simple because simple = actually works

5 filters. each one eliminates a category of losing trades. stack all 5 and what's left is 1-2 setups per day with the highest probability in the market

you're not bad at trading

you're trading without filters that tell you when the odds aren't in your favor

learn them or keep paying tuition

[L2WTrades @L2WTrades]

everyone's obsessed with the 9:30 open

that's the trap

the REAL move usually starts at 10am (if we do not form a reversal prior to 9:30)

here's why:

9:30-10:00 is usually the manipulation phase of the 4-hour candle

it's designed to:

sweep overnight highs/lows
trigger early entries
stop out impatient traders
create the liquidity institutions need for the actual expansion

the 10am candle is when direction actually commits

because that's when the new 4-hour candle opens. and the previous 4-hour candle just showed you everything you need to know

I tracked 6 months of NQ data:

entering at 9:30 without profiling the 4H candle: 41% win rate
entering at 10:00 after confirming the 4H profile: 67% win rate

you're trading the wrong candle

here's why the 4-hour candle at 10am changes everything:

the 6am-10am candle is the one that absorbs all the manipulation. the 9:30 sweep. the stop hunt. the fake breakout. all of that is just the WICK of that candle forming

by 10am, that candle closes. now you can read it:

small wick → expansion candle → the 10am candle should continue in the same direction. look for gaps from the expansion to enter on

large wick → reversal candle → it's not going to expand. the NEXT 4-hour candle (10am) will. but it needs to form its own swing point first. wait for the lower timeframe reversal inside the 10am candle before entering

opened low first and expanded → bullish profile confirmed → 10am continuation longs only

opened high first then dropped → negative condition → either a reversal day with adjusted targets or a no-trade

the framework:

9:15: open charts. mark overnight high/low. check what the previous session did. did London reverse? if yes, you're trading 10am continuation from a gap

9:30-10:00: watch, don't trade. mark what gets swept. mark the gaps that form during expansion. check the correlated assets - is NQ sweeping but ES and YM aren't following? if so, the 9:30 move is fake. wait

10:00: the 4-hour candle closes. read the profile:

small wick + opened in the right direction → aligned with expansion → now drop to the lower timeframe. find the gap within the upper half of that previous 4H candle's range. that's your entry zone

large wick + opened the wrong direction → not an expansion candle → wait for the 10am candle to form its own reversal with a V-shape before entering. or just close the laptop

10:05+: if the profile supports expansion, look for your entry. confirm with SMT - do the correlated assets agree? confirm with the V-shape - expansion in, displacement out, gap forms

enter the gap. stop behind the sweep. target the next relevant swing

done by 10:30

fractalize your 10am 4-hour candle

what confirms the low of that candle? a 1-hour or 30-minute swing point. what's the alignment for a gap inside that 4-hour range? a 1-hour or 30-minute fair value gap

it's the same system on every timeframe. the 4-hour tells you IF you should trade. the 1-hour tells you WHERE. the 5-minute tells you WHEN

if you're getting stopped out between 9:30-10:00 constantly

it's not bad luck

it's bad timing

you're entering during the manipulation phase of a 4-hour candle that hasn't even closed yet. you're trading inside a wick that's still forming. you're guessing which direction the body will go before the candle tells you

the 10am close is the market saying "okay, HERE'S the profile. HERE'S whether it supports expansion. HERE'S your direction"

wait for it
