The Currency Merchant

Remember when everyone said you had to go back a year to find life-changing returns? Here’s a real example. Our $28,000 position in SanDisk call options just six months ago is worth well over $1 million today. The lesson isn’t that options are a magic money machine. Most aren’t. The lesson is that when you identify a high-conviction opportunity and manage risk properly, the upside can be far greater than most people imagine. Opportunities like this are rare. But they do happen. And this time, we actually caught one.

Thursday was my biggest day. The market doesn’t pay certainty. It pays discipline. You don’t need to know what happens next to make money, you just need an edge and the courage to execute it. Most people are searching for certainty. I’m focused on process.

@Pess_Play Is that a corgi?

@CurrencyMerch No way trumps guy comes in hawkish, right?!

Thoughts on tomorrow’s fed meeting? I did not like the weakness into the bull gap. Could be some profit taking to reduce risk into tomorrow’s FOMC.

Some of these names weren't on many people's radar a year ago. Now they're some of the market's biggest winners. What stock do you think could be on next year's list?

The Fed meeting is behind us. Now we get to see what the market actually wants to do. I’m not too interested in debating whether today’s news was bullish or bearish. The next move will tell us a lot more than any headline. Watching relative strength closely. The stocks that continue to lead here will likely be the ones leading the next move higher. What are we watching tomorrow?

@Seb_TFX I cannot argue this point of view. Best to sit the chop out and let the price tell us.

@AdamZamani98 You know it brother🙏

@CurrencyMerch Yessir 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’m not here to predict. Nobody can. What I do know is the market needed to cool off after the run we’ve had. Now we’re juggling inflation data, interest rate expectations, and renewed uncertainty out of the Middle East. That’s a lot of moving pieces. For me, this isn’t the type of environment where I feel the need to force trades or rush to call a bottom. I’d rather stay patient, let the market build some type of base, and wait for the price action. I have a few key support levels mapped out, but I’d rather react than predict. Interested? 👀

@JamesTa93474494 Love it👊

@CurrencyMerch Very much so.

@TradingAmbience Appreciate it brother

@CurrencyMerch Interesting times. I would love you see your map outs.

@JaypeeRm Keeping an eye on it brother

@CurrencyMerch 👀

@AdamZamani98 Love that mindset brother. We all hit rough patches. One step at a time and keep showing up. You got this 👊🔥

@CurrencyMerch Yeah bro i like this. Had a tough week lst week and a tough start of the week today. But will reset, take one step at a time. We all got this 🔥🍀 love!

After a week like this, the best thing I can do is slow down. The market isn't going anywhere. tonight I'll be reviewing charts, identifying key levels, and building a game plan for next week. If volatility stays elevated, I'll likely size down and focus on taking high-conviction setups only. No need to swing for the fences. Small wins add up. Protecting capital matters. Staying disciplined matters. The goal isn't to catch every move. The goal is to be consistent enough to still be here for the next one.

@RodneyMugabe LG!!

@CurrencyMerch Wow
