Thanks so much to @hasanthehun for joining us in St. Louis for International Workers’ Day!
I had such a great time rallying with our allies in this movement to call for workers’ rights, abolishing ICE, and making sure the people of St. Louis get everything they deserve.

new chapter. starting monday.
the $5k → $10k challenge.
here's why i'm doing this and what it means.
after everything i shared this week — the $7k loss, the honest post, the conversations with people i trust — i made a decision.
i withdrew $15k from my trading account.
i'm keeping $5k to trade with.
not because i can't handle more.
because i've proven to myself that i can't handle more responsibly yet.
and that's an important distinction.
the problem was never the system.
the problem was me deploying my entire buying power every chance i got.
i have a tendency to deploy my full buying power.
when i have $20k available, my brain finds a way to use it.
even when the rules say not to.
the campaigns stay the same. the levels stay the same. the rules stay the same.
but now the ceiling is real and it's low enough that i have to be selective.
the challenge:
→ trade $5k account only
→ when it hits $10k — withdraw $5k profit into long term portfolio
→ start from $5k again
→ repeat
one of the most important things i've learned is that every trader needs to know what kind of trader they are.
and when the data tells you something about yourself — you have to listen.
my data told me i have a tendency to overuse buying power.
this is my answer to that.
if you struggle with the same thing — oversizing, deploying too much, going all in when conviction is high — maybe this challenge is for you too.
it’s about proving i can follow the rules consistently at a size that doesn’t destroy me when i don’t.
starting monday. building in public.
same transparency as always.
same $spy 0dte.
let's go.

My take away from Powell's last presser are:
- He is very obviously concerned about the threat to Fed independence from the current administration. He gave lame excuses otherwise as to why he was staying on, but the subtext was obvious.
- There is a bias shift taking place on the FOMC that Warsh won't be able to overcome. The committee is shifting toward considering hikes rather than cuts so as of this meeting it would be fair to say the bias has now left easing and is squarely neutral. Powell dropped clues that if Hormuz stays closed for much longer than hikes will be on the way.
- The Fed is concerned about stagflation. He made a purpose to multiple times mention the inflationary effects of rising oil and the tariffs. He also made a purpose of highlighting specifically multiple times that gas prices going up reduces available disposable income and as a result he said it WILL impact GDP.
Anyone calling this meeting/presser a "nothingburger" has no idea what they are talking about or aren't adept at understanding Fedspeak. This was a warning shot to Trump and Warsh that the committee will not be cutting any time soon and they will resist any attempts of outside entities to force cuts or anything else that threatens Fed independence. Rates are staying higher for longer.
