Buy high. Sell higher

[kyhawk]

Anyone here just scalp the one minute Nasdaq, the mini nq? Nasdaq 100 emini futures on my TradingView.

On my TOS or think or swim with Schwab the symbol is /nq for the "bigger nq" or mnq for the mini.

I have been scalping on my paper trading account with TOS and doing OK. Getting in and out quickly.

I have a funded account at TakeProfitTrader and will use their money starting next week.

The max you can lose then is if you blow your account or in my case for the 25k under 100.

Hard to blow just trading one emini. Goal is to scale up slowly.

I.e. make a minimum of 100 a day. Then get out PERIOD. Scale up slowly to making 1k a day trading the NQ

Trump capitulated on tariffs. You can play the bully so much until you get punched in the face. The party took the tariff toys away from him.

not against China, he escalated v them

[homie1975]

I’m gonna need some follow through on this move

this is far from over

it’s basically open extortion and market manipulation at this point

Going into earnings season here so the move might be legit

the guides will be very low or removed altogether so even if the earnings hit for most companies, the guides will be the issue.

The Trump Crash continues. This is 100% on Trump and nobody else. A self-inflicted wound.

it is peter fukking navarro who went to jail for trump and trump feels indebted to PN.

navarro is a major isolationist and most of this is his brainchild mixed with trump's feelings for 40 years.

it is almost the full antithesis of reagan.

[ex50warrior]

Couldn't pass up the incredible option premium...sold some far (I think) out-of-the money BABA puts. We'll see what happens when all the dust settles.

[INVEGA MAN]

Down another 800 so far!! That damn biden11

[d2bets]

Wow, another wave of selling in the futures market. Where is that Plunge Protection Team when you need them?

[guitarjosh]

Josh, will be interesting to see if Monday is bad (as you infer). What is going on here? Are people losing faith in the USD as a currency?

See the Friday divergence in the Bitcoin stocks versus most other Stocks. Pretty eye-opening.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but if we crash again, I'll be buying something. We're not going to go to 0, and we're already down around 20% from an all time high.

[k13]

Just a discount on all the stocks you love.
Stop crying.
Lot of them have barely even moved.

Bring on more pain.

[pavyracer]

You may be right but I'm struggling to figure out what will happen next week, let alone late 2026.

I did sell a few more out-of-the money puts on stocks I'd like to own on Friday just before the close, and added a little more Vanguard mutual funds. I'm keeping the rest of my powder dry in case TRob is right about a free-fall.

My guess is if Trump doesn't back down on tariffs the Republicans in Congress won't approve his tax cuts or anything else in his agenda. So there would be a point where Trump needs to decide. Keep tanking the stock market and being blamed for it, and Congress stalls his agenda until he changes course.

[ex50warrior]

No President has ever tanked the market the way Trump is. If Harris, Biden, Obama or anyone had done this, Trump would be calling for impeachment. If he doesn't reverse course, it's going to be a global depression the likes of which nobody has ever seen. 100% self-inflicted Trump-induced. The blue wave in 2026 will be astounding and overwhelming. Republicans deserve it. And anyone of them speaking up now -- too little, too late ya spineless weasles.

Warrior, is that you in the picture? The Bitcoiners are noting the difference in BTC vs DOW today.

Lol...nope, that's Vili the Warrior. June Jones brought him in as the U of Hawaii's mascot in 2000. I lived in Hawaii for many years and was a fan of Vili.

Still holding some bitcoin, just wish it was a larger position.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Also, Josh. Love your avatar.

"So, are you Chinese? Or Japanese?"

"Neither. I'm Laosian."

"Which ocean?"

"I'm from Laos. A land-locked country in Asia."

how long are you going to blame Biden?

For what, policies that began while he was the president that if not continued could destroy the housing market and hammer banks?

where the phukk is JOSH right now ?

My comments? This is what I complained about Trump in his first term. It is very hard to run a business when you have no idea what costs will be next week. It looks like Rand Paul is submitting a bill to strip the president of his tariff power, which is what I hope happens.

As far as the charts go, we’re completely washed out. None of the stocks on the XLB and XLE are above their 50 day average, and only 10% are above on the Nasdaq. There are a lot of bullish divergences in the market. We could see a waterfall Monday, like we did Black Monday in 1987, where we’d lost roughly 10% in the 2 or 3 days prior. I do have some puts just in case, but we might have Trump announce all the tariffs are off since everyone wants to make a deal with him. I’m totally against taxes on business since they’re commonly passed on to the consumer.

He is researching how to blame this mess on Biden. He will find something Biden said 10 years ago to blame the market tanking on his policies. One thing Republicans never admit is that they were wrong like their cult leader who has no idea what he is doing. Who in their right mind would put tariffs on an island inhabited only by penguins? I guess the penguins have been doing us all wrong in trade all these years!

One of the things that are different about the 2 of us is that my loyalty is to my country and ideology that makes any country better, while you’re loyal to your party above all. I’ve never supported any type of business tax, while your party is against them while also wanting to raise them. I love the way traitors like you claim the economy of 2019 had nothing to do with Trump’s policies and were due to Obama, the economy of early 2021 had nothing to do with Trump but Biden, the economy of 2020 had nothing to do with Covid but everything to do with Trump’s economic policies, and the economy of today has nothing to do with Biden. Biden’s economy was not good in 2024, which is why the democrats got pushed out of power in 2024.

If this thing doesn’t rebound next week SPX is heading to mid 4,000 or lower.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

They better rustle up some buyers quickly.....otherwise this will get real ugly!

You know I don’t think I heard any of you say thank you once today.

[homie1975]

Shaky market with the Tariff drops, wait for more drops then invest is my best guess. Keep it simple...

shaky? how about PLUMMETTING

thanks DONNIE !!

[d2bets]

Agree. It may not work out but I sold put options on some beaten down stocks I'd like to own. Collected some nice premium. And if I end up getting the stocks at the lower strike price I'll be fine with them. I'm prepared to do more of the same if the market moves lower.

Just used dry power to buy a smidge of my high conviction stocks.

Not sure Im right here but KEY is to watch the babies being thrown of with the bathwater. Lot of good stk's get tossed with the ETF's due to no problem with them.

Shaky? If he stays with these tariffs, we are plunging into a global depression. Only hope is if he quickly decides to reverse course and lie and say that other countries are giving us something. These are all self-inflicted wounds. Each day that this goes on increases the chance that it's irrevocable. The crash could be spectacular. But there might still be a little time to reverse. Trump is an idiot and you know it.

what are you holding besides Gold ?

TRV has been surviving and nice that we finally get paid interest of 4 pct on our cash holdings after receiving 0 pct interest for 4 years+.

[Madison]

hell if i know.

this is crazy town right now.

i am not even dollar cost averaging, that is how bad it is right now.

Time we should be talking. I have huge list of oversold to be buying. Just cautious.
