Hello, my friend!
I hope you have been managing risk carefully with the recent wave of high-impact headlines.
⚠️ These conditions have been challenging across the board - whether you’re trading intra-day or holding positions longer-term. And to be honest, this isn’t the type of environment where consistency comes easy.
🎯 Anyone claiming they’re executing perfectly every day in this volatility is likely overlooking the bigger picture.
🌍 What we’re seeing right now is a market heavily driven by unexpected geopolitical developments.
Even slight shifts in tone - from peace talks to escalation - are triggering sharp reactions across indices.
Today’s key headlines:
Iran: Drafting protocol with Oman for Hormuz Strait traffic
Iran: Hormuz Strait protocol does not constitute restrictions
Not every session is about pressing trades. Some are about recognizing when the edge is no longer there - and acting accordingly.
Purdia Prop Update
These developments had a noticeable impact on price action.
I experienced it firsthand.
After a clean initial move, I was preparing for a second setup - but the strength of the squeeze, driven by the headline reaction, removed any clean opportunity to re-enter.
At that point, the decision was simple…
I closed out my Purdia accounts and called it a day.

🏖️ With the holiday ahead and typically lighter conditions during the New York session, it also makes sense to step back and close out the week with discipline.
