Hello, my Friends!
Asian and London sessions tried to prop up the tape before the NY open - but these days, that overseas drama barely registers on my radar.
I used to let it dictate my every move. Not anymore. My edge lives in the NY session, especially after that critical first hour.
Everything else is just background static.
10:30 EST - Russell 2000 fired the opening shot, smashing through NY highs. I stayed patient: Was this the real deal, or just another fake-out dragging the pack along?
11:00 EST - Boom! Headline impulse hits:
Trump on Truth Social: "The EU is very unfair for US tech companies." Markets twitched.
11:15 EST - Then the rotation ignited. Nasdaq defended its lows, the switch flipped, and Russell emerged as the clear trend of the day, blasting past its full NY range
I took the bid on Russell2000. Small win? Yes. But clean and locked in…
Closing green on the accounts I manage - mission accomplished.
Struggling with the endless noise, second-guessing, and emotional drain?
🧩 I’ve been there. The breakthrough isn’t a magic indicator - it’s ruthless focus on what actually matters, ignoring the rest.
