BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.




















If you have a friend who just started trading, chances are high that the first thing they did was slap an RSI and a MACD below their price chart, because that's what every beginner tutorial and trading influencer will tell you to do. The pitch is usually something like confluence. But if you just look at both graphs side by side, something becomes obvious pretty quickly, they move almost identically. That's why I added the correlation panel at the bottom. For a lot of beginners, seeing that line sitting stubbornly near +1 for most of the chart might be bit of a wake-up moment, hopefully. The reason they correlate so highly is that they're both doing the same job, for the most part: Trying to capture momentum, just through slightly different maths on the same input. So when you stack them and call it confluence, you're not getting a second opinion. Instead, you're just hearing the same opinion twice. And that's a broader issue with most popular technical indicators.
