NFLX & chilling until...Earnings. I have been bearish on this stock technically. Currently it is floating within the Bollinger Bands. Today (3/26) was pretty bearish on the market overall. I read that NFLX will be raising rates or creating alleged value within its ad tiers. I like commercials, so I'll keep watching them lol. Anyways... I just know that people will be affected by loss of jobs/income. NFLXing may not be top of mind for many. I also hear rumors of a stock split. That would be great. & if it happens, I'll still be looking for pullbacks. Will see how week and month close. Earnings 4/17.
***Side note... I remember when the original CD business launched during my college days. Oh how I wish that I was investor savy at the time. Sigh... Looking forward to earning some moolah on my trade ideas now.

AUDUSD triangle pattern suggests a big move is comingAUDUSD has been consolidating in a triangle pattern, suggesting a breakout is near—likely within weeks. A bullish breakout could target 0.6393, with potential for a 229-pip move. A bearish break is also possible but less clear. The setup offers strong risk-reward, with examples showing a 5.6x ratio.

AMD stock up over 20% off the lows- outperform NVidia?AMD is still cheap relative to its growth and still way down from all time highs.
Seeking alpha analysts expect 25-30% annual growth in earnings yearly. The stock is still in the low 20s PE. Stock can double and still be a good business worth owning for the long term and let compounding earnings work.
Low rsi and bollinger bands gave us the signal to buy, we bought with leverage, now we are in the shares unlevered.
Target would be all time highs over the next 2-3 years.
Trading isn't Rocket Science!!! - BUY NAS100 All the information you need to find a high probability trade are in front of you on the charts so build your trading decisions on 'the facts' of the chart NOT what you think or what you want to happen or even what you heard will happen. If you have enough facts telling you to trade in a certain direction and therefore enough confluence to take a trade, then this is how you will gain consistency in you trading and build confidence.

Trading Is Not Gambling : Become A Better Trade Part IOver the last few weeks/months, I've tried to help hundreds of traders learn the difference between trading and gambling.
Trading is where you take measured (risk-restricted) attempts to profit from market moves.
Gambling is where you let your emotions and GREED overtake your risk management decisions - going to BIG WINS on every trade.
I think of gambling in the stock market as a person who continually looks for the big 50% to 150%++ gains on options every day. Someone who will pass up the 20%, 30%, and 40% profits and "let it ride to HERO or ZERO" on most trades.
That's not trading. That's flat-out GAMBLING.
I'm going to start a new series of training videos to try to help you understand how trading operates and how you need to learn to protect capital while taking strategic opportunities for profits and growth.
This is not going to be some dumbed-down example of how to trade. I'm going to try to explain the DOs and DO N'Ts of trading vs. gambling.
If you want to be a gambler - then get used to being broke most of the time.
I'll work on this video's subsequent parts later today and this week.
I hope this helps. At least it is a starting point for what I want to teach all of you.
Get some.

Quick Simple ReturnsQSR baby! That's what that stands for to me. Anyway, it took a ton of searching, high and low to find this stock. The markets just haven't really turned from their bearish sentiment even after a strong day yesterday. I need to add some long delta to my portfolio and think this stock is just the one. Check out my market overview for why it has been so hard to find a bullish stock.
How to use ETFs instead of Indexes to know how to trade that dayMost Traders use the indexes to try to understand whether they should buy long or sell short. However, the ETFs impact the index components prices not the other way around. Most traders do not realize that they should be studying the ETF of an index rather than the index to determine how to trade the next day. Also ETF trading can be highly lucrative. Using the chart layouts that I have designed to trade Dark Pool activity, HFT and Hedge Fund activity and Sell Side activity helps you understand who is on control of price for the ETF and thus is created the value changes of the indexes.
When you study the ETF rather than the index, you will find you have far more information in the chart, indicators and price changes.
EURUSD - How Long Will The Bullish Gravy Train Last?German Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz announced he had secured the crucial backing of the Greens for a massive increase in state borrowing.
The deal will likely be approved by the outgoing parliament next week. It includes a 500 billion euro ($544.30 billion) fund for infrastructure and sweeping changes to borrowing rules.
Due to this, the dollar weakened against the euro but rose against the Swiss franc and the yen, underpinned by the likelihood the U.S. government will avert a shutdown over the weekend.
Will this weeks high impact events lead to the weakening of EURUSD?
AAPL and MSFT Reading Charts For Better Entries and ExitsOptions Trading Strategy Using Ichimoku Cloud, 200 SMA & Monthly Contracts
(Following Your 3 Trading Rules)
This strategy adapts the Ichimoku Cloud & 200 SMA trend-following method for trading monthly options contracts with a focus on high-probability setups. It leverages time decay (theta), trend strength, and proper timing to maximize gains while reducing risk.
🔹 Strategy Overview
We will trade monthly options contracts using:
Trend confirmation via Ichimoku Cloud & 200 SMA
Directional bias based on price positioning
Entry timing rules to avoid low-probability setups
Theta-friendly positioning (avoiding weeklies to reduce time decay risks)
📈 Trading Rules & Setup
(My 3 Golden Rules)
🚫 No trading on Mondays → Avoids choppy market structure from weekend gaps.
🚫 No trading on Fridays → Avoids gamma risk and weekend time decay.
⏳ No trades before the first 15-minute candle closes → Ensures market direction is established.
📊 Selecting the Right Option Contract
For monthly expiration contracts, select options that:
Expire within 30 to 60 days (avoid weekly contracts to minimize rapid time decay).
Are slightly in-the-money (ITM) or at-the-money (ATM) for higher delta (0.55–0.70).
Have open interest >1,000 and a tight bid-ask spread to ensure liquidity.
Example: If today is June 11, trade the July monthly contract (third Friday of the month).
📉 Bearish Put Play (Short Trade)
200 SMA Bias: Price is below the 200 SMA
Ichimoku Cloud Confirmation:
Price is below the cloud
Tenkan-sen is below Kijun-sen (bearish momentum)
Chikou Span is below price from 26 candles ago
Future cloud is red
Entry Trigger (After First 15 Min Candle):
Price pulls back into the Kijun-sen but rejects it
OR price breaks below the cloud after a weak consolidation
Enter PUT contract (monthly expiration)
Stop Loss & Take Profit:
SL: Above Kijun-sen or recent swing high
TP: First at the cloud’s lower edge, second at a key support level
Exit before Theta decay accelerates (last 14 days before expiry)
📈 Bullish Call Play (Long Trade)
200 SMA Bias: Price is above the 200 SMA
Ichimoku Cloud Confirmation:
Price is above the cloud
Tenkan-sen is above Kijun-sen (bullish momentum)
Chikou Span is above price from 26 candles ago
Future cloud is green
Entry Trigger (After First 15 Min Candle):
Price pulls back into the Kijun-sen but holds
OR price breaks out above the cloud
Enter CALL contract (monthly expiration)
Stop Loss & Take Profit:
SL: Below Kijun-sen or recent swing low
TP: First at the cloud’s upper edge, second at a key resistance level
📊 Trade Management & Adjustments
Rolling: If trade is profitable near expiry but not at the full target, roll to the next monthly contract.
Closing Early: If the trade is at 70-80% max profit, close early to avoid decay risk.
Cutting Losses: If price closes inside the Ichimoku Cloud, consider exiting early (trend loss warning).
🛠 Why This Works for Monthly Options?
✅ Avoids time decay risks of weekly options by trading monthly contracts.
✅ Uses strong trend confirmation from Ichimoku & 200 SMA.
✅ Only trades at high-probability times, avoiding choppy Monday & Friday moves.
✅ Allows scaling into strong trends rather than short-term noise.

SPY Another -10% Fall Incoming?Here in this video, I would like to help you guys understand my perspective for SPY for these next upcoming months. I believe its very possible that we could see another -10% fall from today's close.
My overall target would be the low of august sell off, and as I mentioned in the video, I truly believe that sell off back in August was just a flash of what's to come.
Most importantly, done panic. Huge sell off leads to great buying opportunities. Wishing you all the best! I'd love to hear you guys perspective as well!
Bitcoin Breaks 90k with upward bounce on Daily FVG and 200MABitcoin Breaks 90k with bounce on Daily FVG and 200MA.
The FMG "Fair Value Gap" is a big deal, especially this one on the daily.
The 4h and 2h and 45min charts are looking like this could continue.
It's a powerful moment, and maybe 80k will never been seen again?
This is more bullish than I have felt in a few days.
Gold back to it's normal bullish programAs we always say, after a bullish daily close, we will remain bullish until a bearish daily close. With that being said, there was def a short opportunity today after reaching our buyside goal.
We will continue to track the development here and keep you on point with expectations.
