Bye For Now...

Ajouté : 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]So, if you were one of these people who thought that by today's title that I blew up my account or that I'm done trading, well, unfortunately, I have bad news for you. It actually is the complete opposite. The month of May has been one of the best trading months of my career and definitely the best month of 2026.

[00:00:17]Now, it just so happens that coincidentally, at the end of this month and starting next week, I will be leaving for 2 weeks to go to Italy. So, what a great time to enjoy some of the May profits and enjoy some time away. I wanted to make today's video to let you guys know about my absence over the next 2 weeks and say thank you to everyone that comes to the morning live streams on a daily basis. You guys that show up, get that analysis every morning, I want you to look at the next 2 weeks as an opportunity for you guys to apply the learnings, apply the strategy yourself, and actually could be a great eye-opener to see what you can do by yourself without me on a daily basis. At the end of the day, all the education we put out on this channel is meant for you to become a self-sufficient trader. So, take that education, apply it yourself, and see what you can do over the next 2 weeks until we return. Now, the second part of today's video is I wanted to go ahead and give you guys the three things that I changed in the month of May that I believe really attributed to the success that we had this month. Later in today's video, I will log in to my broker, both Tradeovate and Lightspeed, and show you guys the end of month P&L, which was a pretty incredible one. So guys, the first thing that I think is very important that attributed to the success in the month of May was accepting the move on the market. A lot of people out there saw the big move on the market, saw the upside continuation, and failed to accept it. Failed to understand that the market was in a bull rally that provides massive opportunity, and the worst thing that could have happened during the month of May was allowing your mindset to not accept the move. Not allowing yourself to trust that there could be continuation and fighting what was happening. Being in disbelief in the market is really a killer to your trading profits. The market can do anything, anything and everything. It could go straight up, it could go straight down, anything can happen and it's just in my opinion another normalcy and another thing that occurs. And to think that our thoughts are correct and to think that what we believe should happen is what should happen is going to kill you long-term.

[00:02:31]Accept whatever's happening and take advantage of the opportunity. Stop trying to guess what's going to occur over more than a daily basis. I could only imagine how many traders out there failed to take advantage of this move due to some kind of psychological or mental problem failing to accept what was happening, talking to their friends, talking to other traders about how this is rigged, how it's ridiculous, all these thoughts that make you think that you should be right or that you think you know more than the market, it's killing you. And so the number one thing that really helped this month was just walking into the markets, seeing what was occurring, accepting it and focusing on the upside opportunities that were in front of me.

[00:03:15]That was crucial. And no matter what's going on in the market, it's going to continue to be crucial to accept whatever is occurring in front of our screens. What's on the chart, what's on the candles, what's the market showing right now, that's what I'm following, not what I think should happen in the future or not because of some economical reason to think that the market shouldn't go higher. The last thing I want to say about this is that it is very important for you guys to understand that you need to separate the economy and the market. They are not the same thing. The market is future looking. What could happen in the next few years due to the AI growth? What is the potential revenue of these companies 3 years, 4 years, 5 years from now?

[00:03:56]What's occurring right now overseas or whatever you may think about inflation, the jobs market, whatever that is, it's not affecting the market as of right now. And it's clearly not the driver of what the market is doing. Of course, it is important to stay in tune with those things, but it should not be driving your intraday trading decisions. The second thing that I believe helped me quite a bit this month was zooming out on the 4-hour on the daily, looking left, and looking at larger term levels.

[00:04:26]The market was breaking through major levels from back in '23 and '24. Big previous all-time highs, major previous inflection points. And these previous major inflection points and major levels have set up some awesome trading opportunities on individual equities as well as the overall market in the month of May. We've had plenty of tech stocks break above all-time highs, break above previous major pivots, and the hold above those levels, the break and retest above previous all-time high on the larger time frames has set up some of my best trades in the month of May. So, being that point one was about trusting the market, point two also works into that. So, since I trusted that the market could see upside continuation, I knew that it would be opportunistic to look for short-term pullbacks. I wasn't looking for a high to develop. The first downside move I wasn't calling tops. I wasn't saying, "All right, the market has topped and now it's going to fall 20, 30%." Actually, I saw these pullbacks as the opportunity to buy back into the upside and get back into the continuation. And so, when we're zooming out on the larger time frames, looking for daily chart 4-hour pullbacks, consolidation back to EMAs, and back to major previous demands, the best trades that I had this month were looking for pullback longs on larger time frames, trusting that the upside would continue, and taking advantage of this through swing trades. A multi-day pullback back into key demand, back into daily 20s, back into major EMAs are some of the best trades to look for in a large-term macro uptrend. And that is exactly what we did for majority of the trades this month, which resulted in a very large profitable month. Now, the third point that I'm going to talk about is strictly about options trading, and that is extending my time horizon on my contracts. It was very rare for me this month to trade same-week expiration contracts. Now, the reason for that is because I believed that moves could occur over multiple days and multiple weeks. So, to take advantage of these moves that you're seeing in the market, I wanted to have time on my position. I didn't want to have to get out the same day. I wanted to be able to see if that move could occur over the next few days, over the next entire week, right? And see if I could catch a real continuation move for a larger percentage point gain.

[00:06:51]Thinking like this for the month of May has resulted in extremely large profits.

[00:06:56]Looking for these higher time frame pullbacks back to key inflection points, buying the dip with time, a minimum of let's say 2 weeks or a month out contract, and then riding it back higher for the next following days. So, overall, all of the success that we had in the month of May had everything to do with adjusting to market conditions and adjusting mindset. No strategy changes, we're still trading the break and retest, we're still trading off our key levels, but we just adjusted to what the market was providing. The market was providing a macro uptrend that pullbacks were opportunities to long the market once again. And I needed to adapt to that and trade along with that trend.

[00:07:36]And doing so, that's how you go ahead and profit in this type of market. So, now that we talked about the three points that really helped me in the month of May, let's go ahead and jump onto the computer. We'll do a live login of our Trade as well as our Lightspeed options trading account. This was the first month that I really locked in on futures and the results are quite astonishing.

[00:07:56]So guys, let's go ahead and log into the Trade O 8 account. We are on the live account. I went ahead and decided to fund my original futures account with $30,000 and since then we have taken quite a few of withdrawals out of this account. You can see we're still at that $30,000 number, but pretty much everything I make out of this account, I go ahead and withdraw. And so going to this month, you guys can see that for this month we are up $66,490 and gross P&L $70,000.

[00:08:31]This is for the month. Last week, you can see here, we went ahead and made $52,000 in that week. And if I go to last month, you'll see that there's nothing and that's because we just started this account this month of May and so it has been a really really good month of May. Now, is this beginner's luck? You know, I don't think so because we have successfully created levels, successfully traded for quite some time and I think it's just a nice compliment to add some futures trading. Our levels are extremely accurate and really all I've been doing is trading off those futures levels pretty much every single day. Now of course, definitely been aggressive, sizing has been aggressive, probably taking anywhere between two to four NQ minis on a particular trade. So it's definitely an aggressive style with large size, but hey, it was an awesome month and that is that is what we were able to do on the Trade O 8 futures account. So now I've pulled up my options trading account on Lightspeed. I will go ahead and refresh this entire screen for you guys to see. I'll do it twice. And going into this, you can see scrolling down to the bottom, $63,592 after fees commissions, $63,326 for the month on the option side. So, we add those both together, we're a little bit north of $120,000 for the month of May. Overall, a six-figure month doesn't come around very often. The opportunities have been great, and we've taken advantage of them. That's the key, taking advantage of what's been providing. You guys know that the market conditions are extremely extremely not easier, but definitely more lucrative than they were to start the year, but that doesn't mean anything.

[00:10:18]You have to still take advantage of it, and if you did, bravo to you. If you didn't accept it, I hope that you learn from this. So, I'm going to go ahead and end today's video here. Still have some packing that I need to get done before our trip to northern Italy. Thank you guys again for all the support, all the love. I hope you learned something from today's video. I'm going to do my best to disconnect from the markets, try to get a fresh mindset, but I know I'm still going to be peeking every now and then to see what the Nasdaq and S&P is up to. Keep me updated on socials. Make sure to follow the socials if you want to see some videos and some pictures from our trip. Can't wait to get back to the live streams. I'll see you guys then.
