The risk of loss in trading commodity and financial futures could be substantial. Anything I post with regard to trading are my opinions only and not trading advice.
Happy 4th of July. No drinking and driving.

She fought on the Roller Derby track. Trying to expand her business, she fought with male bank managers in the 70’s. They would not lend her money without “his” co-signature. Thanks and happy Mother’s Day. Your entrepreneurial spirit lives on thru me.

A text I received from an English mate.

Everyone I’ve spoken to is choosing anything apart from US whether it’s holidays, food, goods or anything else, if there is a choice US comes out last every time
It’s astonishing how quickly the world has lost faith in our most valuable friend & partner.

There are times in ones career where a return OF investment is psychologically more important than a return ON investment. This is one of those times.

I was in London in October of last year. I was shocked...all my mates were pro-Trump. How's that working for you now???

Please remember. A market can go wherever it wants to WHY? Because it can. Take negative $40 crude oil for instance.

Never ever underestimate the power of the bear. The bear can undo years of hard work in a matter of months. The bear can undo months of hard work in a matter of weeks. The bear can undo weeks of hard work in a matter of days.

I don’t know why, but if the shits going to hit the fan it usually hits on a Friday. Losing your A$$ today is not the way we play the game.

My Friday manta holds even more weight today.

What Wall Street really has to worry about today is ESM trading down around 5500.00 with an hour of trading remaining.

Did you hear that? Did someone say buy bonds?

Got a Hunch / Buy a Bunch. Added to bond longs today. I am long 22 with my intention to buiy more with a close above the 21 EMA.

My #1 trading rule with “not adding to losers” running a close 2nd.

It is said, the trader with the best levels wins. Not taking profits at the Voodoo Tree Line target is not the way we play the game.

Oh Oh. Was that a Midweek Shuffle high in NQM today. If so we should see continued weakness today and a follow through lower into the end of the week.

This is powerful and humorous.

This is what educated Yanks have to deal with. Only 36% of Americans carry a passport and half of the other 64% think passport is two words.

Breakaway Gaps are bullish. With everyone bearish we could see a significant short-covering rally this week.

One of my favorite pictures from last year.

Still me favorite trade in 2025, but until the neckline is breached, this will remain a possible Reversal Pattern.

DAX is leading. I prefer when the E50 leads
