Not true: 80% of traders use some form of stop loss protection yet 95% of traders still lose money. There’s more to trading than just “cutting losses short”.

This isn’t 1929 lmao. This is an obvious shakeout and the stock market will go higher after this shakeout ends. If this were 1929 there wouldn’t be oil AND financial stocks breaking out of low range long-term bases - everything would be trading at a high level. $SPY $QQQ $DIA

The fact that nextbigtrade flipped to being bearish tells us we’re close to a bottom. This dude was overwhelmingly bullish earlier in this correction. I’ve been bullish too but I have a much longer time frame than this guy. $SPY $QQQ $DIA

$NOK is breaking out of a long-term triangle base - I just bought some at $5.2152

@JSpitTrades In my process, that would be a time to take profits. Curious how others view it.




@rah1265 @801010athlete I am short. Enjoy your bull market as oil goes up to infinity and the iran war transitions to a ground troop quagmire you dumb delusional hopers.



S&P 500 rallied on lighter volume yesterday. Overall volume on the bounce this week lighter than the November 2025 bounce, and coming off of a bigger correction that's not ideal. And with oil spiking this morning the gains this week are being erased. Hostile market.
