Wednesday is Veterans Day. US stocks trade, the US bond market doesn't. BUT a thin market doesn't mean a calm one. It means a smaller room for the same crowd. Manage your risk properly.

‼️ Here's what usually happens in this industry: a quiet calendar gets mistaken for a quiet market. Wednesday's US data calendar is nearly empty. The only scheduled voice that matters is Lagarde at 4:45 ET. Important to check before taking any short term decisions. #Economics #USA #Europe

Nvidia fell 4.27% on Monday on the Huang headline. The line most people skipped: Nvidia is also on the list of companies that agreed to buy Anthropic shares at the IPO price. Keep this in mind if you trade or invest. $NVDA #StocksToWatch

I am ready today #futures #Markets

🚨 The ECB is stuck. Euro area inflation is 4%, it has hiked twice this year, and December could bring another. Hiking into a French bond problem is the trap inside the trap. Lagarde speaks Wednesday at 4:45 ET.

Let me tell you the shortcut. Before your next trade, deal or big decision, write down the one scenario that would end you. Always assume you LOSE the trade, before you place it. Can you take that loss? If yes, go for it. If not, don't even try, your size and ego are too big.

If you're a beginner in trading, save this. 🔴 If you are an "intra-day" trader, don't even follow or listen to people that make predictions that happen in MONTHS from now. It is useless. You can't and you should not hold a trade for months in the current economy. COSTS are NOT even worth it!! You'll either be wiped out because of huge price swings, or you'll go nowhere for weeks before any move happens. Absolutely useless. (if you are a retail trader, of course). Those who brag about "being right" about a price months after, they're not those you should care about if you trade. That information ins NOISE in trading and it will make you believe BS and go one direction on a trade that goes 30-50% against you first, before reaching the target. #TradingStrategies

Kids these days will never understand the real meaning of 'in the trenches' 😂💀

In anything in life! Enjoy your weekend, everyone! 💜 #risk #reward #WeekendPreview

YOU ARE RIGHT about the trend, BUT YOU GET STOPPED OUT before? Read this: 🔽👇 The gap between an analyst and a trader is one candle wide. Look at the chart. Intra-day trade, 15 minutes, intraday, #oil #Futures . Price drops through my stop. Then it turns around and goes exactly where I said it would, in just a few minutes. You’ve been here. If you trade, you’ve been here more than once. And if you haven’t yet, give it time. Here’s the thing. I was right about the levels. I was right about the trend. I still got stopped out. That’s the difference between being an analyst and being a trader. The analyst gets credit for the idea. The trader pays for the entry. Since we do both here, let me tell you about both sides. The analyst side. The read was fine. The market did eventually travel to the level I was targeting. The thesis was not the problem. The trader side. My entry was the problem. Wrong place, wrong moment, call it what you want, the stop got hit before price came my way. #Markets don't pay you for being right. The market pays you for being right at the right spot, with a stop that survives the noise. My point is not “trading is hard”. And it’s not “trading is easy” either. That’s basic content creation and you’ve seen plenty of it. I’m sharing this because reminders like this helped me when I started, over a decade ago. The frustration gets smaller once you accept this is part of the job. ‼️So what do you do after the stop? Two options. Re-enter, or stop for the day. One question decides it: is the market going somewhere, or is it choppy? Today, oil was incredibly choppy. No clear established direction after a wild week. To me, that stop was a message. In chop, the risk of being taken out is much bigger, and the reward doesn’t justify it. So I didn’t re-enter. Done for the day. The week was VERY green anyway for me, no reason to obsess over trades in a choppy market - that's how people fail. Notice what I didn’t do. I didn’t chase the move back just because I was “right”. I believe being right on direction is a feeling, not a position. And that’s the hardest thing to accept. Here’s what usually happens in this industry: the stop-out is the cheap part. The expensive part is the trade that comes right after it, the one you take to prove yourself. So before the next entry, ask yourself three things. Is this market trending or chopping? Is my stop sitting where the noise lives? Has anything actually changed since I got stopped? If the answer is chop, I conclude by saying that the best trade is the one you skip. Hope this helps as a reflection if you’ve been through a lot this week. I wish you all a happy weekend. 🔴 WHY YMagnify? WHY YTerminal? Research eats a minimum of 3 hours of our day, on average. Markets don’t stop on weekends, so neither do we. Minimum three hours times seven days is 21. That’s MINIMUM 20 to 21 hours every week spent on research. Half a normal working week, at minimum, because some people take much longer. I won’t tell you a single tool makes you money. It doesn’t work like that. BUT It gives you back your TIME. Just like how many people embrace working remotely because they SAVE TIME on commute, With YTerminal you SAVE TIME on research, news, analyzing numbers, statistics and data about everything that actually moves the markets - not loud useless noise. Official data, compared against its own history, with the source printed under every number. 🟣 Let me simplify it: being right on direction doesn’t pay if your entry can’t survive the noise. In a choppy market, skip the re-entry. 🟣 Why Magnify it? Because you don’t have time to read everything, and I don’t want you to. Read less. Understand more. 🟣 Subscribe for free on publication link (bio) and you’ll see the first YTerminal screens here before release. Reply and tell me what you want decoded next.

⚠️ This is WHY markets crashed. Nothing is random. Let me explain, as simple as possible, how USA works - politically. I worked with governments before, I do UNDERSTAND how this works beyond just a text on the screen. I do TRY to simplify it a bit here now (more details are involved. Do your research) ‼️ It is super important to know if you even hope to make money off USA's MARKETS!!! I thought everyone would start their investing/trading journey by studying these aspects first, not just 'inspecting trend lines'. BUT I lived in a bubble I think. Many people don't know what they trade/invest into,but they hope to get rich over night. Simplified. There are details involved, you can check the subject in depth! ‼️The US splits power 3 ways:
- President executes laws
- Courts interpret them
- Congress (House + Senate) writes them Each branch checks the others. Congress also controls the money.
 Tax bills start in the House.
 Spending needs both chambers. When one party loses a chamber:
- The President keeps the veto and executive orders
- New laws need the other party's votes
- Investigations and oversight go up Markets hate not knowing which policies survive. Tax cuts, tariffs, budgets: all get harder to price. So when the odds change, prices move first. Anyway, I'm curious where you landed.

The Nasdaq Composite is about 4% lower at roughly 24,712. That's 10.5% below the Oct 6 record close of 27,599.89. Official correction, the second this year. The strange part is what the bond market did while stocks fell.
