I studied under Patrick Walker of Mission Winners, with a foundation built on active CANSLIM investing. If I had to put a label on it, I’m a Discretionary Techno-Fundamentalist, like the late Darvas would say, where price leads but fundamentals matter. I’ve been trading since

The market finally caught its breath today as the Nasdaq managed to edge higher in a choppy session. Before we get into the close, there is something worth paying attention to on the structure side. In the strictest sense the Nasdaq is forming a double bottom that becomes

$EQT - Yesterday was a classic Drop and Reverse bar and a clean Pivot Retest Setup. The buy was on a 620 Trigger w/ LodR. From here the higher-probability path is simple, let it form a handle. Tight drift, low volume, then a real volume push through pivot. Could we get a Drop

$DLTR on watch for a pre-earnings run-up. Tightening under the downtrend line with improving RS and the 21/50 day flattening out. If buyers step in and push it through 108–110 on volume, you could get that classic retail earnings drift. If not, let earnings do the talking.

$NEM is building a tight digestion zone after a monster run, riding the 21/50 day with RS 95. If gold continues to firm, the cleaner trading vehicle might end up being the leveraged ETFs like $NUGT, $DUST or even $UGL, $UGLD rather than $NEM itself. Watching for: • Coil &

$PLTR question for the AI crowd. This pullback looks a lot like the early-year shakeout, strong run, break of short MAs, messy reset. The real question is this, is PLTR gearing up for the next leg, or is this just another shakeout until it reclaims the 21/50 and clears 200–207

If you don’t set your own risk, the market will set it for you. A lot of traders learned that lesson this week. Even more are blaming someone else for their mistakes. Own your process. Own your exits. The market owes no one a warning but it does give them.

November 14 — The Higher View of Self “You are a soul bearing a body, not a body bearing a soul.” – Marcus Aurelius Perspective liberates identity. The Stoics saw themselves as parts of something infinite. Hill described man as “a spiritual being with unlimited potential.” You

Gap downs across stocks and crypto tell the story this morning. Clear risk-off tone. This is the market rest we’ve needed. The excess gets shaken out, weak hands step aside, and leaders get a chance to reset. New TMLs will emerge from this phase. Let the dust settle and let

The market got hit hard today, and nothing about the close suggested urgency to jump back in. I am in absolutely no hurry to put on new risk tomorrow. If you are not short, you are late, and if the bottom is not in, you will be early long. The cleanest move is to wait. Time and

Another episode of All Stocks Are Bad: $NBIS, no real clean early entry without using an EP. The 9.22 pivot offered a later setup, but that window is long gone. Now it is filling the gap on the way down. 🎣 #AllStocksAreBADCharts

On this episode of All Stocks Are Bad: $CRWV, from AI darling to deep drawdown in record time. Classic parabola unwind, failed base-on-base, and a collapsing RS line. When the leaders go quiet, they don’t whisper, they scream. Don't let a good profit turn into a travesty. 🎣

$XLV this time it's different... Maybe.

The Dow led again Tuesday, extending its record run as the rotation into value and cyclical names continued to carry the load. Optimism around a pending government funding resolution kept sentiment constructive, while tech and growth stocks paused after recent volatility. The

Just doesn't seem right with out the brown nose. 💩

$SNDK - taken my share of papercuts trying to call the top. Short opp will come, but timing matters. You can be late and still get paid when it breaks clean. Short interest is extremely low, so until structure cracks, it’s strength over speculation.

Day 4 for the gold move trimmed 30% $UGL and $NEM resting easy. Stress free day outside of $SNDK short.
