I strongly believe swing + position trading are key to improving performance. Expanding your timeframe allows trades to develop and gives the thesis time to play out. Free to read. I hope this helps some of you think about your approach to the markets. zastocks.com/p/swinging-cha…

@IncomeSharks I remember our exchange on this day, wasn’t pretty.

@ZaStocks The markets bottom at their ugliest day

The news is bad, the charts are bad, sentiment is bad, everything is bad. Nobody knows when we’ll bottom but what we do know is that the market won’t wait for positive headlines, great sentiment, and joyful news flow to bottom. Whether it’s 2018, 2020, 2022, or 2025, the notable “recent” market pullbacks didn’t wait for the “all clear” before resuming higher. 2018: Trade war tensions still high. 2020: COVID still relatively unknown. 2022: Inflation/rates still climbing, recession fears. 2025: U.S. and China tension still at highs, despite the tariff pause. Market will bottom before sentiment improves.

@ManzTrades Was probably the first stock along with $NVDA to be a clear AI winner off the 2022 lows due to their OpenAI stake, things change fast.

If you bought $10,000 of $MSFT in December 2021 You’d have $10,500 Today. 5% Return… 5 Years Later

@LogicalThesis Worth noting the bottom of the market was in prior to all of these events happening.

@ZaStocks 2018 we bottomed when fed pivoted (taper tantrum) 2020 we bottomed when fed dropped interest rates to zero (support markets) 2022 we bottomed when CPI had its 3rd monthly print of showing the trend is in decline (worst was behind us) 2025 we had the 90 day pause on tariffs

@LogicalThesis @bh_prop His point is that the “moments” you outlined didn’t mark the bottom. The market was already bottomed prior to all of those things happening.

@bh_prop @ZaStocks So you can, with higher confidence, buy 10% above THE bottom And that's considered bad? Why? Reward is 10% lower but risk is far lower Improving risk:reward with majority of the reward left

@LogicalThesis I agree that there will likely be an event or “moment” that markets the bottom. There always is. Sentiment will still be bad. Doesn’t change anything I said.

@ZaStocks And I can counter by saying everything I listed was absolutely a positive headline vs what led us into the decline

@PurpleDrink_LLC I simply posted that sentiment won’t be good when we bottom and I’m getting pushback.

Seeing a LOT of folks wanting much lower prices now

@adudetrading So much pushback to this post when all I said is sentiment won’t be great at the lows, funny.

@ZaStocks Great point tbh

@dolores_capital Probably lower but my point is sentiment won’t be good when we bottom.

@ZaStocks thanks professor - my sentiment is in the gutters, can you make my stocks go up on monday.

@unfiltered_23 Lol saying sentiment won’t be good when stocks bottom means I called bottom right now?

@ZaStocks The fact that you and many are already thinking about bottom means stonks are going much lower.

@g00dkarma007 The U.S. was still in the midst of the financial crisis when the market bottomed.

@ZaStocks 2008?

If you don’t adapt to various market conditions, you’ll blow up your account. In uptrends I don’t like to wait for confirmation. I’d rather buy weakness and take a chance on a pullback. In a downtrend like this, I want to see some confirmation or some base building. Different environments call for different strategies. What works in one environment doesn’t work in another. Using big size, wider stops, etc. can work in a healthy trending market. That doesn’t work right now, you’ll get steamrolled if you deploy those same tactics. Paytience.

@norriharb I have some longs on with cushion from lower like $NXT $GEV and a few others but any new adds have been smaller size and cut quickly.

@ZaStocks which is prob why you want a small long in something :)

Can’t see why anyone wouldn’t want to be long into the weekend, we’ve been told the war is almost over and there won’t be boots on the ground. Oh right, the market doesn’t believe anything coming out of this administration anymore.

@DidymusLevi x.com/zastocks/statu…

@ZaStocks The market believes the administration as much as they believe Jensen. 1 trillion revenue, stock down everyday since. 🤔🙄

@dolores_capital In my opinion Trump knows he’s in a tough spot and will pivot sooner rather than later. Not much time left. Can’t see him digging his heels in and putting troops on the ground.

@ZaStocks it's been like this every friday... and minor relief early next week... they (administration) really need to make a turn

@rah1265 This makes sense.

@ZaStocks They only specified boots. Nobody ever said anything about crocs. x.com/TheBabylonBee/…

@FeroceResearch Yields are controlling everything, agreed.

@ZaStocks 10Y 4.50% is the only thing that matters at this point. Real unfixable cracks will form admin doesn’t care enough to step in prior to that becoming the new baseline

@ohiain Patience will pay.
