Dear Traders, I've returned from my two-week journey across South East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. During my end of travel, I had an exciting meetup with fellow traders in Northern Italy, near Milan. We delved into their trading journeys, how our community has supported their growth, and topics beyond the basics of trading, such as options trading, taxes, and even lifestyle and motivation. Ardi's Kindle book is now available for FREE on Amazon, if you...

Hello Traders, As you all know, I have been traveling for the past few weeks in Vietnam and Dubai, and now I am at my final destination: Switzerland. I came here to see my really good friend and research partner Carlo Zarattini to test some new strategies and potentially write a few more papers and a book. Carlo was a quant for some of the biggest hedge funds in the world and his team currently engages in...

Dear Traders, I am writing this newsletter from Dubai, where I am staying for a few nights to visit my family. The market opened down due to the unfortunate incidents occurring in the Middle East, however, now it's displaying some positive momentum, with all indices in the green. Today serves as another reminder that the real "winners" of wars are those who produce weapons. Lockheed Martin ($LMT), one of the largest defense contractors in the US, is up...

Hello Traders, I'm currently writing to you from Vietnam, where I'm engaged in launching my books in Vietnamese and exploring the beautiful parts of the Asia-Pacific region. We're even planning a meetup in Hanoi on Saturday, October 7th at 6 pm, and I'd love for you to RSVP if you can make it. Being a part of Bear Bull Traders is truly a blessing. It's amazing to have friends and members to connect with no matter where...

Dear Traders, I apologize for not trading on Thursday as I took the day off to relax. Today, market volatility continued with a significant gap up in the market and we traded notable breakouts on $NVDA, $TSLA, and $TQQQ. Watch my recap to see how I successfully traded these names. As I write this letter, the market is giving up all the early gains of the morning session. Today marks the end of the quarter, and investors...

Dear Traders, Today's market volatility offered even more trading opportunities than yesterday. Overall, market weakness continues as investors now anticipate longer rates for an extended period. The market has declined approximately 4% in just one week. Today, I had successful trades on $TSLA and $TQQQ but incurred a loss on Amazon. I executed an impressive V-Reversal on $TQQQ, analyzing it from a daily perspective on $QQQ (notably the low of August 18, 2023, at $354.22). I must...

Dear Traders, On this special day, my 40th birthday, I want to share a personal and private life journey with all of you. Take a look at the picture below: On the left, you see me at the age of 25—overweight, no father, an international student, broke, with no family wealth, and struggling. Life dealt me some tough blows, but I refused to stay down. On the right, it's me at age 40—standing atop Mount Everest, running 3...

Dear Traders, Today's market was nothing short of crazy. I had the opportunity to trade one of my all-time favorite strategies, the 5-minute Engulfing Crack. We have a comprehensive explanation of this pattern in our Education Center. Although it doesn't occur frequently, when it does, it tends to be a potent trading opportunity. I typically take an aggressive approach when such a setup presents itself. Here you can watch my recap session with Jarad, where I break...

Dear Traders, As you know, the market is not straightforward on some days, and today was one of those days. Today, I traded $TQQQ and $TSLA. While I was in the red with the Qs, I managed to come out with a $2,000 profit at the end of the day. In my recap, you can see that I had to exit my $TSLA trade two times to control my risk. It wasn't until the third trade that...

Dear Traders, Today marks a historic day, reminiscent of the collapse of Lehman Brothers that triggered the 2008 financial crisis. While I wasn't trading back then, I can imagine it was a terrifying time for investors and financial market traders, especially if you found yourself on the wrong side of the trade. Today, the stock market experienced a pullback, with Nasdaq down almost 2%, SPY down 1.2%, and Dow Jones dropping about 1%. The decline in technology...
