Last week’s trade idea list did its job: we locked in profits on puts, leaned into strength in select energy and software names, and worked through a laundry list of short setups that have followed through so far. As I’ve said in prior updates, the real value here isn’t in the active discord and trade setups—it’s in following the data in the written roadmap each week and then executing against it. For those of you who have been tracking and applying these plans, the consistency is starting to show, and I’m excited to carry that forward.

From Last Week’s Trade Plan:

Silver has been the one notable drawdown so far, and it’s a good reminder that even well‑framed setups can be derailed by historic outlier moves. The key is recognizing that a losing trade does not automatically equal a bad trade; if the thesis, levels, and risk management were sound, we log the outcome, learn what we can, and move on to the next opportunity without letting one anomaly dictate our process. I will update tomorrow but be prepared to reposition should stops be hit.

Now on to this week’s trade plan, its gonna be a good one as risk and volatility continue to mount.
