See a lot of new followers. Thank you
If you learn a few things from me...
1. Context is KING, levels are static
2. Respect RISK, only 1 mistake from irreversible loss
3. Know your TIMEFRAMES and EXECUTE
4. Ability to call it a day and walk away
5. Must enjoy the PROCESS!
$GS Goldman Sachs leading the SpaceX IPO June 12
New ATHs today, bringing Dow ATHs with it.
We gotta love the exit liquidity game.
Brilliantly played👏 @elonmusk
Key context into today’s RTH😎:
Yesterday marked the first legitimate intraday breakdown below Key Support — and a close below (Day 1)
What happens next depends on Thurs/Fri NFP
1)Do sellers follow through (Day 2/3)
2)Does this turn into a Failed Breakdown?
Yday context below
I’ll leave this here:
When everyone’s conditioned to buy the dip, complacency replaces thought.
What IF Support breaks?
Liquidity pulls. Bids vanish.
Then everyone heads for the same exit.
Stay process-driven. Manage risk.
Doesn’t have to be today. Good luck!

Pro tip:
Just bcuz BTFD hasn’t failed for 2 months, doesn’t mean you’re Pavlov’s dog and buying every dip at ES 7600+/ NQ 30.5k+ religiously
Pick ur battles, one foot out the door for summer trading.
I’m a trend setter/train rider. Positioned ahead of the crowd/peanut gallery
Now 7540s. Nailed it🎯
Still short from highs, holding runners.
Too many folks in the phase of too rich to care atm. At least in my pod
Summer trading, be aware of complacency. That’s enough freebies for June⚠️
Today was fun. Textbook gap down, reject, grind lower.
Let's see if more fun tonight.
Heavy in net long tech stocks, hedged properly with intra shorts at highs. GL!

I haven't taken a directional short in a couple of weeks, but today presents a solid opportunity for a hedge or intraday setup
Small premium to pay for protection, esp before AVGO ER. The overall market remains bullish, so I'm putting myself out there anyway😎

After a market correction is over, don’t be too quick to sell the stocks that rally first and show the strongest relative strength.
That is not always “risk management.”
In many cases, it actually increases the risk of missing a potentially massive winner.
Even today, I still make this mistake sometimes.
Why?
Because the stocks that recover first after a correction are often not just random bounce plays.
They are usually the names where money is flowing back first.
They show relative strength before the crowd fully realizes the market has turned.
They may be the next leaders of the new uptrend.
Real risk management is not selling a strong stock simply because it has gone up.
Real risk management is managing position size, knowing your invalidation level, and watching whether the price action actually breaks down.
If a stock remains strong, money is still flowing in, and the fundamentals and narrative are still intact, selling too early can actually be poor risk management.
So the key is not “never sell.”
The key is:
Don’t sell the strongest market leaders too easily just because you are afraid of giving back existing profits.
Many times, what truly changes your trading return curve is not taking small profits again and again.
It is whether you can sit through the right leaders long enough during a real market uptrend.

Whether I win or lose, this is part of the process—not a single data point to judge success or failure. Tiny sample size
Everyone should manage their own book and work within their own timeframes and allocate risk properly
