“Strike not where they are weak — but where they are overconfident.”
Trump just lit the fuse.
Tariff letters hit 12 countries this morning — up to 70%.
This isn’t positioning. It’s escalation.
Markets aren’t ready.
SPX is at highs. CTA exposure is near zero.
One sharp move and they’ll be forced to chase — or collapse.
This is what we trained for.

Powell speaks again today. This is the real one.
The policy panel at 9:30 AM is where he either holds the line—or fumbles it. Yields are rising. Gold is steady. The dollar is firm. That’s not confidence—it’s caution. The market smells risk.

Markets roared higher last week as a wave of optimism swept across Wall Street. A de-escalation in Middle East tensions, dovish signals from Fed Chair Powell, and news of a U.S.-China trade agreement all helped power risk-on sentiment. $NASDAQ 100 Index (.NDX.US)$ surged 4.2%, $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ jumped 3.44%, and $Russell 2000 Index (.RUT.US)$ climbed 3%, with major indices like $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$, ...

Robert Musella OP Lucas Bey : Appreciate that, Lucas. Strategy sharpens discipline. And it shows in how you’re leveling up. Stay focused, stay patient, and let the market come to you.
Robert Musella OP Unkle_sAm : Appreciate that, Sam. Wisdom isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about cutting through the noise. Glad you’re in here leveling up. Stay sharp, stay steady.
