Dear Traders, We have been seeing some remarkable market volatility. Today, the market experienced a significant drop due to stronger-than-expected retail sales numbers, indicating that consumers are still spending robustly. This suggests that the economy hasn't slowed down enough to cool down inflation, which, once again, means higher interest rates for longer periods. Everybody is sick of this inflation and interest rate game I am sure. The market didn't react favorably to this news and saw a...

Dear Traders, I've returned from my two-week journey across South East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

We delved into their trading journeys, how our community has supported their growth, and topics beyond the basics of trading, such as options trading, taxes, and even lifestyle and motivation. Ardi's Kindle book is now available for FREE on Amazon, if you...

Dear Traders, I am writing this newsletter from Dubai, where I am staying for a few nights to visit my family. The market opened down due to the unfortunate incidents occurring in the Middle East, however, now it's displaying some positive momentum, with all indices in the green. Today serves as another reminder that the real "winners" of wars are those who produce weapons. Lockheed Martin ($LMT), one of the largest defense contractors in the US, is up...

As I write this letter, the market is giving up all the early gains of the morning session. Today marks the end of the quarter, and investors...

Dear Traders, Today's market volatility offered even more trading opportunities than yesterday. Overall, market weakness continues as investors now anticipate longer rates for an extended period. The market has declined approximately 4% in just one week. Today, I had successful trades on $TSLA and $TQQQ but incurred a loss on Amazon. I executed an impressive V-Reversal on $TQQQ, analyzing it from a daily perspective on $QQQ (notably the low of August 18, 2023, at $354.22). I must...
