🤷🏽‍♂️ just a little 9x (ish from here).
$MU CEO came out last week with a strong statement, sold out through the end of the year 🚀🚀🚀

[traderX @sp_traderX]

HBM Memory is going to be a huge focus I believe now. $MU is set-up to benefit the most from this, anticipate them to post good numbers with a bullish guide.

That fat finger 50 point drop at the close on ES futures was the layup of the day for a quick trade. Someone market ordered several thousand ES. I bought with both hands it retraced the whole entire sell and took profits at 7420 ES.

If we’re perfectly honest, running a trading group is a selfish endeavor for us…

Just not in the way you think.

(understanding what we’re going to lay out is key for you to determine which groups are legit and which ones are trader mills).

90% of people who run a trading group are just trying to fund their own trading by churning through novices with promises of quick, big wins.

We don’t agree with that approach and don’t need the extra income.

Though that doesn’t mean we don’t benefit from our group.

For one, they give us an opportunity to teach all levels of traders, which keeps us sharp.

When you live, eat, and breathe the markets for the better part of 4 decades like us, you accumulate wisdom that we believe is our duty to pass down to those who share our same insatiable appetite for all things trading.

In fact, we like to look at ourselves more as professors of market dynamics than simply traders.

And yet, despite our experience working at some of the most well-known institutions globally, we still benefit from many of our traders.

The market is so infinitely complex that it’s impossible to keep up with it entirely.

But when you have a hive mind of killers like we do in the group, the level of trading for all rises sharply.

There are those who specialize in NQ and ES futures and can tell you with great accuracy when the market is about to turn.

We have others who are expert in technical analysis and reading tape.

Others are constantly pointing out flows in real time on different tickers they are watching.

And pretty much everyone has their specific stocks that they know intimately… how they move and when to take advantage of a specific set-up.

Contrast this to other groups we have been a part of in the past, where it was much more a parasitic, guru-type relationship.

The leader would take on any novice trader, showing off his million-dollar days, while the majority of his subscribers were simply YOLO copy-trading and blowing up their accounts.

No real education, no real value created by any of the others in the group.

This never sat right with us and we decided it was time to elevate the level of trading for more serious traders.

That’s why we created Trade Flow Lab, where we’re dedicated to serving those who…

→ Want to learn from traders who’ve actually managed real (big fund) money, not just posting personal wins online.

(Because when you’re trading, you want to be able to think like the big boys).

→ Are looking to be consistently profitable and don’t need to hit home runs at every at bat.

→ Want to learn trading skills that they can use into old age and pass down to their children.

We’re here to serve the good guys, the ones who have families to take care of, who can’t watch every tick every day, who have aspirations beyond just making money.

And, yes, we’re going to have fun doing it.

We’ve got you.

Most traders lose money chasing quick wins instead of building real positions.

Anyone can hit a few lottos and go up big, but that’s not a sustainable process.

Which is precisely why so many people who use this process blow up their accounts.

What the top traders do is find high-conviction plays and build size in them.

These aren’t overnight 10-baggers.

These are trades that compound consistently over time.

As Stan Druckenmiller likes to say, “"Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket very carefully."

Now, he’s not saying have one position, but keep your positions concentrated in high-conviction names.

Don’t know how to find high-conviction trades?

Come join our trading group Trade Flow Labs.

Our two founders each have 4 decades of experience in the markets and will show you exactly what you need to know to be consistently profitable without having to spend 12 hours in front of your screen every day.

The Inner Game of Tennis Is not a book about tennis.

It's about mastering your mindset, which is precisely the issue most skilled traders struggle with to be consistently profitable.

It's not that you aren't smart enough, it's that your critical/left-brain overrides your better judgement.

[TFL @TFLabofficial]

Wise words from @themissinglinks in the trading group just now.

If you have a smaller account, you can still do this using SPX perps on Hyperliquid.

When the indices are more choppy like today, futures/perps are typically better than options where you need much more precision.

[TFL @TFLabofficial]

This week's market action is exactly why we have a rule that most traders ignore.

And that’s you should always take a decent portion of the profits in your options account and move them to a separate portfolio and buy common stock.

If you kept on rolling your calls this week, you got destroyed by the VOL crush Wednesday and Thursday, and then there was the large pullback Friday.

However, if you had been taking those profits and buying stock, you’re down a decent bit, but you have protected a significant amount of your capital.

Remember, your number one goal as a trader is to minimize substantial drawdowns.

And you are most susceptible to large drawdowns after making large gains and getting too loose with your rules.

Think of how many times your options account has been up big only for you to lose the majority of those gains…

Without exception, the best traders in our group all maintain a relatively small options account and funnel profits into equity purchases.

While this caps your upside short term, it protects your capital while building positions in stocks you believe in so your capital can compound over time.

Huge shout out to @eliant_capital who called the big ai accelerated bio move with $ARKG. We got $ARKG leaps and we loaded $RXRX calls and common 2 weeks ago. And you can check the timeline we have $TWST from 20s thank to @peter_mantas for his work on TWST.

[TFL @TFLabofficial]

We love weekends in the group as it gives us time to go through the institutional research and plan for the week ahead.

(This is how you save yourself a lot of time, since the group collects and condenses the most important items to watch each week ahead).

@redbadbear was breaking down how CTA flow models can help predict where larger moves can occur, as CTA's are systematic funds that buy/sell algorithmically at certain ranges.

So if you see $SPX go down into the 7310 level, the chances of a larger sell off increase as CTA's will begin selling automatically.

@themissinglinks @TheTradeFlow The team has been killing it!

[traderX @sp_traderX]

$MSFT remains relentless. A locally-running AI agent reportedly on deck — the kind of catalyst that keeps the trend going.

@TheTradeFlow nailed the entry, added size, and de-risked into strength. Next week sets up well. 🚀

[traderX @sp_traderX]

@themissinglinks @TFLabofficial 🙏

The bubbles in the past were due to speculation.

The 2000 bust was from Internet infrastructure buildout that wasn't being used.

Today, there is insane demand for AI infrastructure and CAPEX to fund it.

Sure, there is some debt involved, but much of it is from free cash flow from the big hyperscalers.

And demand is currently growing, not shrinking.

Sure, at some point the economics will change.

But we are living in unprecedented times, so to compare it to any other era is misguided.
