They said July would be straight up. I said the market needed a dip to remove the froth. It happened. Then they said the correction had just begun. I said sentiment had reset. Lets go higher It is happening. Here's my next call: People won't trust this rally. They'll call it a bull trap. I'll call it the fuel for higher prices. $SPX S&P 500 is breaking out today. I want to help as many people I can to be on the right side at all times.

Trading isn't a chart problem. It's a brain problem. Most traders spend years learning technical analysis. They master patterns. They use 10 indicators. They build watchlists. They follow gurus. And they still lose money. Because the chart isn't what's holding them back. Their own psychology is. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮: Fear of missing out costs more than fear of losing. You see a stock running. You didn't get in. Now it's up 20%. Your brain screams "buy now before it goes higher." You chase. It reverses. You're stuck. This happens 70% of the time. FOMO has cost more accounts than any market crash in history. Revenge trading destroys careers. You took a loss this morning. Now you're angry. You don't want to wait for the next clean setup. You force a trade to "make it back." That trade loses too. Now you're down twice as much and mentally fried. The market doesn't care that you're behind. Trying to catch up faster makes it worse every single time. 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐒 𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲. A stock is up 8%. You're happy. You sell because you "don't want to give back gains." It runs another 50%. Then you hold a loser down 20% because "it has to come back." It doesn't. Now it's down 60%. Your brain is wired to cut winners and hold losers. Wealth is built doing the opposite. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 You bought a stock based on a thesis. The thesis is wrong. Instead of cutting it, you find articles that support your view. You ignore the price action. You ignore the chart. You only see what you want to see. By the time you accept you're wrong, the loss is 5x what it should have been. 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬. A stock is up 100% for you. You should trim. You don't because "it might go higher." It pulls back 50%. You don't sell because "it'll go back up." It doesn't. You watch a year of gains evaporate in three weeks. Every trader has this story. Most have it multiple times. 𝐄𝐠𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠. You called a top. The stock keeps running. Instead of admitting you're wrong, you short more. You're now financially and emotionally committed to being right. The stock doesn't care about your ego. It just keeps going. The best traders kill their ego before the market does. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡: Technical analysis is 30% of trading.
Execution is 30%.
Psychology is 40%. Most traders spend 90% of their time on the first 30% and wonder why they're not making money. You can be the best chart reader in the world and still lose money if you can't control your own mind. The setup isn't the hard part. Waiting for it is.
The entry isn't the hard part. Sizing it correctly is.
The exit isn't the hard part. Following your plan is. Everything in trading comes back to your own brain. Master your psychology and the charts become easy.
Ignore your psychology and no chart will save you. This post covers 90% of your trading problems. And it’s more common than you think. Everyone goes thru these.

Remind me why I didn't trade this chart???? Oh yeah... it is crypto and somehow I cannot get myself to trade crypto but it is fun to chart.

You can’t take all trades > Taking profits at resistance and extensions is what keeps you in the game > Never short a leading stock - the dips always get bought > Trading is 30% technical analysis, 30% planning, execution, 40% psychology I used to overcomplicate all of this. Unlearning bad habits takes time. Be patient with yourself.

Everyone loves this advice: "Good trades come to you." Let me tell you why that's complete bullshit. Good trading opportunities don't sit around waiting for you to notice them. They have tiny entry windows. If you're being "zen" and passive, you're just being late. Here's what actually happens: You scan 50+ stocks and narrow it down to 5 you'll actually watch. You draw up a real plan. Entries. Stops. Targets. You execute fast when the setup triggers ( good trades give you a short window ) You hold through the drawdown. That's when everyone else sells. You don't get shaken out when it tests your conviction "Let the trades come to you" sounds wise on Social media. It keeps you broke in real life. 60% of my best trades dont come to me. I go to them. I hunt setups every single day. Build watchlists every week. Wait for confirmation. Execute immediately when it shows up. Patience matters. But so does aggression when opportunity appears. Being passive doesn't make you disciplined. It makes you late to every move. This is reality. Everyone actually making money knows this.

Next 5-10% sell off will come. And yes it will be short lived Trump can’t stop it. Yields- Sending a loud message. Good thing- There were dozen 50-100% winners which happened, process driven people capitalized on it Best thing- You’re going to get an opportunity. Your job is to know the levels for indices. Deploy cash. And relax

@ItsJust_Kess The 10Y might have seen this post ....

Thank you @ItsJust_Kess for everything you taught me :) QQQ 15min #RSIdivergence

@ItsJust_Kess uh oh....

Put things into perspective...

Everyone wants to be in the right stocks. What gone is gone. Start looking for the next one. After reviewing- Here are 15 stocks I like from different technical angles. Most are allowing good technical entries: 21EMA pullback & Bullish consolidation: $AAOI $LITE $TSEM $TER $COHR $TER $AEHR Big Breakouts: $NVTS $BKSY $TE Space stocks & Bullish consolidation $SATS $PL $SATL Healthcare stocks: $SLS $IBRX $ARWR Only need 4-5 of them to make 5 years of gains. This is how we caught $INTC $MRVL $DELL $RKLB $WULF $CIFR $HUT

@FortuneOptions 💯

@GooshTrading @FortuneOptions Love @FortuneOptions that would be great! Thank you and have a great weekend!

VIX showing a higher low SPY giving a higher high NAAIM exposure: 96 Fear & Greed: 67 QQQ daily RSI: 82 21EMA test: 25 days calling it Euphoria is an understatment.

@ItsJust_Kess Market has no concept of gravity lately

@ChartGuys Thanks to one of your videos, we planted aspargus seeds 4 years ago. They are delicious!!

Semis made their move $INTC $MRVL $DELL $AMD $CRDO Rare earth names are next and ready $USAR $UAMY $MP $UUUU You don’t chase what already ran. You find what’s early, take positions with good risk/reward, and let the trend do the heavy lifting. Most capital isn’t made from being right alone, you have to participate early.

@AlexsOptions @__ERAZ__ I played CVNA on the weekly/monthly a few weeks ago. also played it in Nov - and rode it all the way to the top of that BF. It went back down and that's when I entered again- let's see if it goes back to the top. Green trade no matter what.
