Dear Traders, Today in the chatroom, we witnessed something truly remarkable! The market started with heavy selling at the opening, and around 9:45 am, both the bond market (such as $TLT) and stock market indexes like $SPY and $QQQ saw a sudden bounce with significant volume. Interest rates dropped significantly, and it felt like something had fundamentally shifted. I was not in any trades at the moment, but when I saw the bounce in $TSLA and...

Dear Traders, Today was an eventful day in the chatroom. Avi casually made $15,000 trading $NVDA calls, while I managed a $5,000 profit trading Tesla and NVIDIA, and Ardi sold puts on $NFLX at $380 for Oct 20th. If you'd like to see how we tackled the morning action, check out our YouTube channel.My goal is to reach 100,000 subscribers by the year's end, and I genuinely hope you'll consider subscribing to our channel! But before we...

Dear Traders, We have been seeing some remarkable market volatility. Today, the market experienced a significant drop due to stronger-than-expected retail sales numbers, indicating that consumers are still spending robustly. This suggests that the economy hasn't slowed down enough to cool down inflation, which, once again, means higher interest rates for longer periods. Everybody is sick of this inflation and interest rate game I am sure. The market didn't react favorably to this news and saw a...

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...
