Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: China is shutting down once again which puts pressure on supply chains even more than it already is, however it creates a lack of demand for oil, which has the commodity dropping another 8% premarket and back down to $95/barrel. This is another layer of headline risk, that makes an extremely risky

Trading Strategy: Long: ProShares UltraShort QQQ (QID) *Sent intraday on Friday* Ideal Entry: 21.40 Stop-loss Option: 20.54 Target: 24.35 Risk Rating: 4.2 Trading Notes: QID triggered on Friday. Today the market is mixed heading into the open. You also have FOMC this Wednesday, which should take the spotlight from the Russia/Ukraine news that has dominated of late. I may look

Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: If we've learned anything over the last two months, it would be to avoid chasing these headline market bounces. This morning you have more optimistic headlines coming out of Russia for a peace deal, so futures are rallying in the pre-market. These headlines continue to suck in traders only to see the

Trading Strategy: Long: ProShares UltraShort QQQ (QID) *See Notes Below, prices changed* Ideal Entry: 21.64 Stop-loss Option: 20.61 Target: 24.35 Risk Rating: 4.5 QID Trade Setup based off of QQQ Chart.  QID: If my ideal entry is triggered in the first 30 minutes of a trade setup, I will not enter the trade. Instead, I will enter a trade after

Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: This is a hard spot right now in the market. Price is in no man's land. Not establishing new lows on the current downtrend, and certainly not willing to buy this market ahead of Thursday's much anticipated CPI report. I would expect that a hotter than expected inflation report will instantly tank

Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: Often times in trading, our worst mistakes come from not being patient with our trades and waiting for the right opportunity. In this market, it is far better from a reward/risk standpoint to sell the rips, and not chase the sell-offs that are already well underway. And when there is as much

Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: Added one new position yesterday with $QID - it took two tries, but finally managed to stay in it. Jobs report blew past expectations which gives Fed more reason to to raise rates, especially when there was no wage increase, meaning people are being further impacted by inflation when their wages aren't

Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the market has bounced ferociously higher and looks to do the same again today. Improvements on the $IWM chart, but very little else on $SPY and $QQQ that would look to be any more than a dead cat bounce. Getting long here seems enticing,

Trading Strategy: Trading Notes: The State of the Union Address ended up being a non-event for the stock market, now it is on to the Fed talk to day, that includes remarks from Jerome Powell. Oil is spiking as high as $112/barrel, and creates additional inflationary pressures on the Fed. I added QID yesterday, but with
