Trade of the Day | Week in Review   Stop Gambling With Your Profits We had a biotech position in the War Room with serious profits built in. Good profits. The kind you don't want to give back. But they were about to announce drug study results. FDA stuff. You know how that goes – one bad data point and your stock drops 30% in a day. So we're sitting there with a choice. Sell and maybe miss the upside if the news is good. Or hold and pray, which is not an investment strategy, it's gambling. There's a third way. And it costs about 15 cents.

What Now? TheoTrade Weekend Roundup

Did Friday’s price action scare you out of your skirts? Tweets happen. You can either lay on your back, belly to the sky… Or learn how traders like Tony Rago have gotten so good that they can beat Prop Firms at their own game. Don’t believe me? Click here to see for yourself. Hello TheoTrader, Let’s not beat around the bush…this week sucked for the longs. And yet, our folks managed to walk away relatively unscathed, some even with a profit. I’m not saying that it was easy trading by any stretch. But, if you took heed of what everyone from Don Kaufman to Professor Bierman has been saying, then the selloff shouldn’t have come as a surprise. And look, we all take it on the chin from time to time. That’s trading. Don’t let the market beat you down.  9:30 AM will come around again. And another bell means another chance to get it right. Until then, here are some weekend thought pieces by our traders. Jordan Schneir Editorial Director, TheoTRADE Tony Rago: The Level That Told Me Everything Look, Friday was rough, no two ways about it. Yet, it proved once again why the Golden Setup is crucial to trading. Let me explain. The Market Dropped 400 Handles in Minutes Friday morning started clean. I had a Golden Setup forming on the NQ. Entry was marked at the 50 level. Risk was defined at minus 15 points on a micro contract. Everything looked textbook. Then news hit and the market collapsed. I got stopped out for my minus 15 points. Watched that same position keep falling another 400 handles after I exited. If I hadn't had that stop in place, if I'd tried to "give it room" or convinced myself it would bounce back, the damage would have been catastrophic. Instead, I took my planned small loss and moved on. CLICK HERE to continue reading Tony’s article. Don Kaufman: The Day Volatility Futures Told Me Everything Most traders got caught up in the headlines Friday. Trump threatened China with tariffs. Tech stocks crashed. The Dow dropped 560 points. But here's what actually mattered - and why I was positioned perfectly while others got blindsided. The Real Story Was Hidden in the Derivatives Market… When that first wave of selling hit, the S&P dropped 40 points. Volatility futures barely moved - one point higher on a 40-point drop. The second wave changed everything. Volatility futures went parabolic. From 18.5 to 20+ in minutes. That's when I knew we had a real problem. Most traders think volatility reacts to selling. That's backwards. CLICK HERE to continue reading Don’s article. Gianni Di Poce: Do You Suffer From Big Short Syndrome? The market dropped 1.5% yesterday after Trump threatened massive tariff increases on China. Tech stocks got hammered. Nvidia fell 2%, AMD dropped over 5%, and Tesla shed more than 3%. The bubble callers are out in force right now, claiming they were right all along. Here's the problem. The S&P 500 just posted its worst decline since August, but the index is still sitting near record highs after a clean uptrend over the past few months. The traders screaming about bubbles didn't make money on this drop. They've been sitting on the sidelines or worse, bleeding capital on short positions while the market climbed higher week after week. Now they're pointing at one red day as vindication for missing months of gains. I call this "Big Short Syndrome." It's destroying trading accounts across the market right now. Traders have been screaming about bubbles everywhere lately. CLICK HERE to continue reading Gianni’s article. Jeff Bierman: Weekend Reflection: The Video Game Never Stops My daughter can't put down Roblox. Eight hours a day if I let her. I had to take her phone away last week. She's 12. The dopamine hit is real. The addiction is real. And watching this market the past six months? I get it now. Every single weekday morning, I wake up knowing exactly what I'll see. Tech up and financials up. Or financials up enough to prop everything else. Or commodities and crypto doing their thing. One of those three. Like clockwork. It feels like a video game. It looks like a video game. It smells like a video game. CLICK HERE to continue reading Jeff’s article. Brandon Chapman: Right Trade, Wrong Timing: The RXRX Lesson I took a loss on RXRX last week. Closed the position for $0.12. Paid $0.31. Lost $0.19 per contract. Then Wednesday happened. The stock ripped to $6.30. My expired options would have been worth over $0.80. This is the hardest lesson in options trading. Being right about direction means nothing if your timing is off by a week. The setup was textbook: Open interest at the $5.50 strike showed massive positioning. The gamma level acted like a coiled spring. Everything pointed to an imminent breakout. The analysis was correct. The signals were accurate. The move happened exactly as predicted. Just one week too late. CLICK HERE to continue reading Brandon’s article. Blake Young: Managing Trading Emotions: Why Our Ancient Instincts Cost Us Money In this weekend's article, I want to explore our psychology and how humans are wired to handle emotions—both positive and negative.  During my session in the futures room, we discussed excitement (or FOMO) versus fear, and how these primal responses affect our trading decisions CLICK HERE to continue reading Blake’s article.   Helping You Become a Better Trader...it’s What We Do.

Overnight

October 15 will open a new form of trading. Imagine seeing a 12% overnight stock jump... to the penny... The day before it happens.

Dear Reader, October 15 will open a new form of trading. Imagine seeing a 12% overnight stock jump... to the penny... The day before it happens. That's what my colleague Keith did last month on Centene (CNC), one of 2,334 stocks whose biggest jumps he can now predict with 85% backtested accuracy. Friday's sell-off opens the perfect environment for doing this. In short, he's developed a way to spot the perfect trade... any day the markets are open... using a new form of Super AI. It all goes back to 2023... ChatGPT sparked a mania. Keith immediately took the same type of machine learning software... and built a system to foresee future stock prices, to the penny. Right away, he saw incredible results... Like when it nailed Nvidia, for an 8.7% gain in 72 hours on his recommendation. The equivalent of making 1,061% across a year So recently, he decided to harness the best of his AI projections into a new investment vehicle. It turned every $100,000 into $702,190 in the past year alone in a study at TradeSmith, our corporate affiliate... All by showing you exactly where to put your money each week using AI that spots the perfect trade... any day the markets are open. Why is this secret so important for your money? Because it's designed for today's rollercoaster market. And because this vehicle will open again on October 15 and give you a massive "early adopter" advantage if you apply this kind of financial AI today... BEFORE it spreads. Click here to learn more.
