Don’t listen to people who think they know what the market will do next. Instead, listen to people who say “I have no idea what the market will do next, but here’s a good plan to follow regardless of what happens.”

Crypto crash timing was good, equities took a few days for the correlation to happen. $SPY $QQQ $IBIT $ETHA

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

My timing was 2 weeks early, but my positions remained flat during that time. Now watch the fireworks 🧨. $SPY $QQQ $IBIT $GLD

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

Get ready for the big drop. Most won’t believe how fast and hard it can happen. Friday should be somewhat tame and controlled, but next week oh boy. Shorty shorts on full blast. $QQQ $SPY

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@BigSwingTempo Another trick that works, take 1 or 2 more clubs, for example hit a 7 or 6-iron from 150 instead of an 8. Forces yourself to slow down and focus on contact and accuracy knowing you’ve got plenty of club to get there.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@BigSwingTempo Think about swinging FAST (with the arms/wrists/hands), not swinging hard with the body. The body supports the fast swinging of the arms (but with good tempo)

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@ryanmouquegolf Agree 1000%. One of my best rounds ever was when my back seized up as well, playing parter even had to tee up by ball for me on the back 9. Had to swing arms only with almost no turn. Fairway, green, 2-putt par all day. Makes no sense

@MyGolfSpy @Evnroll Odyssey 2-ball v-line from 2010/2011. Tried many others, but always go back.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@ShooterMcGavin Great hole. Tough as there is usually a cross wind across the lake. This par 3 on the front was my 2nd favorite hole.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

Sold most of my longs today. This was a great swing. Time to show more caution. $QQQ $SPY

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

Closing out most of my shorts today. With $VIX above 30 this market is likely to swing violently both ways. Best to wait and find the next A+ entry. $QQQ around $550 would be a spot one could hope for some leveling out and reversal. If that doesn’t hold then it gets really ugly.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@WesSpannuth @GolfChannel Not sure. I’d need to see the data. I actually putt better on fast greens but maybe I’m in the minority there.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@Simi_2210_ Easy peasy. 179.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@zach_seyko Iowa State fan here, and I watched him play in high school at Lakeville South in the wing-T offense. What you’ll like about him is how fast and aggressive he hits the hole. Quick decision and goes. No hesitation. I wouldn’t say top speed and juking is a strength, but super tough

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@IndyHawk89 It appears neither team is playing. But congrats on a season that was 24 hrs longer if that makes you feel better. Meanwhile, ISU has still owned Iowa for 2 years and counting…..

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@HayleyTrading Correlation is closer to zero on the long term timeframe vs short term actually. If you’re holding long term than hold long term, the fear gauge is one of the last things you should be looking at.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@SMASIMHO @Ross__Hendricks I’ve seen two 50% drawdowns since ‘99 that took years to recoup. I assure you it will happen again. Maybe now, maybe later, but history doesn’t lie.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@Ross__Hendricks Agree. The whole “buy and hope” thing is a scam sold by lazy financial advisors who charge way too much for bad advice.

[TraderJames @cyclonehawk]

@IndyHawk89 Should be a good game. Iowa will eventually lose, and it won’t change the fact that ISU has owned Iowa for 2 years and still counting.
