Alex's PF performance. - May 2026 📊🛡️ MTD ( +23.3% ) YTD ( +26.8% ) YTD benchmark QQQ ( +10.5% ) Hey guys! What a month —best monthly return since 2020 for me — another cruise month, back to back after April, and I'm very happy with my execution overall. We can always be better and keep improving, but this was a clean follow-through on everything I talked about last month: trust the system, trust the process, get size in the right names, and let the trend do the work. The one thing I'll flag on myself is that I went into that mid-month pullback a bit too exposed. I took some heat and drew down more than I wanted — but I played it well from there. I recognized the constructive action, held my positions, and stayed patient, which let me recover from the drawdown super quickly and push my EC into a fresh all-time high. That's the difference between reacting to noise and trusting what price is actually telling you. This month really came down to two things. First, adding to my core positions and trading around that core in what I see as the liquid leaders of the leading groups and themes — I did more of that and it paid well. Second, having real size in those leaders and staying patient with it, trusting the trend even when it looked extended. There's a lot of money to be lost trying to anticipate the end of a move, and I did well by simply not trying to do that. The win rate came in at 44.4% with a 1.94 RRR, and I pushed +36.2R in profits on the month. Lower hit rate than April, but it didn't matter — my winners did the heavy lifting at a 10.8% avg gain (biggest +47.6%) while I kept my losers tight at -4.3% avg. That asymmetry is the whole game: let the winners run, cut the losers fast. Now it's about staying disciplined and capturing the best part of this trend for as long as it lasts. Let's kill June, let's go! 💪 Cheers, Alex ✌️ • Every entry, exit, and trims are taken in real time in the PrimeTrading Discord community, with educational explanations for all trades. • I share all my trades and monthly trading performance results since January 2020 for transparency.

$BTC is at risk of losing structure and confirming a breakdown with another lower high potentially being made.

$QQQ did confirm a daily reversal on today's "Leopold bounce". Strong +3.3% move and some impressive 10-30% moves in oversold high-momentum stuff. That being said, one simple rule has kept me out of trouble over the years, and that's waiting for QQQ to reclaim its 21dma-structure. At least retesting it and seeing constructive action off the right side. (tight higher low) But a bounce off an extended low... It's not actionable for me yet. The most important? define your rules of engagement, because without them you'll be trading off emotions...and that's never good over the long run.

@KaneCapz nah he sold his positions to Citadel, that's the point of that post...he was so leverage that he had be forced to sell.

@PrimeTrading_ He’s still got billions under mgmt?

$AAPL earnings call not going well...

Too real

@h_westin @801010athlete another bottom catcher

@801010athlete @PrimeTrading_ So ur mad u missed todays gain$?

You can make the case for a bottom here using several factors going on recently and all the noise on this App however . . . Please show me weekly charts that look like these did in March right now? $ARM $DELL $INTC $NBIS

@CalvaneseSam huh?

@PrimeTrading_ If I was in your chat room and accidentally posted a bullish message in your short thread would you kick me out! 🤣

$AMZN is fading hard after tapping the declining 21dma-structure. Earnings after close.

@CalvaneseSam 🤣🤦‍♂️

@PrimeTrading_ Really? It’s $252

So much work to do still in tech, just chill and go for a beach walk guys...

Watch for Crude $CL_F putting pressure from here too; that's a possibility if we confirm the backtest of rising structure and start pushing on Middle East fears.

This bounce is really oversold semis/AI induced. $CIBR $IGV are still at risk in structure, while $SMH snapped back from deep oversold & extended to the downside. patience guys... Rome wasn't made in 1 day.

we're so back!!!

It makes sense for price to chop around down here for a bit, shaking out impatient bulls and bears before the next big move.

@PrimeTrading_ Back to 150% margin???

One green day should get everyone bulled up again :)
