“The most rational trader, not the smartest trader, wins.” Brent Donnelly’s new book, Trade Outside the Box, is about what comes after you learn the traditional tools of markets: how to build an edge, manage risk and think differently from everyone else. He joins us to discuss the biggest lessons of his trading career. ✅ Why being right is not enough to make money ✅ How every investing edge eventually decays ✅ Why rationality matters more than intelligence ✅ Why success can lead to worse decision-making ✅ Why bearishness in the biggest leak in finance ✅ Why avoiding ruin comes before maximizing returns

$PYPL nice play. Still think there is more left in the tank and if it actually gains $52, $58-60 can actually come expeditiously.

$PYPL 41.79 daily footprint showing 285K+ bid absorption, B-shaped profiles, delta % spiking on shrinking volume at multi-year support. Classic exhaustion setup. Bear case: lose 41.00 on volume, distribution resumes, low 40s exposed. Bull case: absorption holds, reclaim 42.60 opens 44.50, clear that and 48-50 gap fill is in play. Stripe acquisition rumors (lol), new CEO restructuring, and 8x forward EPS all live simultaneously. Could move this pretty fast if those hit. . 824K negative delta candle couldn’t crack it. Bids holding.

TRUMP SAYS US WILL BE TAKING OVER CUBA "ALMOST IMMEDIATELY"

Anyone with a functioning brain can trade stocks successfully—so then, why do few succeed on a big level? Because few are willing to admit one simple truth: you suck! Your head is full—sucky opinions, sucky assumptions, and “logic” that feels right but produces the wrong results. As long as your cup is full, there’s no room for anything that actually works. Empty it!!! Strip away the ego. Discard everything you think you know. Then find someone who’s already done it—at a high level—and shut up long enough to learn. And finally, the hardest part: commit. Commit to a strategy. Commit to your coach. Commit to the process. Commit to the belief that you can do it. No dabbling. No second-guessing. No halfway effort. Because success in this game doesn’t come from intelligence—it comes from discipline, humility, and coachability. And most people fail because they lack all three. You don't know shit! If you did, you would already be worth tens of millions of dollars. But I'm here to tell you that you CAN do it. Because I did. Anyone who tells you can't, never did it themselves. That's the final peace of the puzzle. Stop listening to losers and self proclaimed gurus. If they are so smart and they know how to teach you. Why haven't they done it for themselves. Do you really think someone who hasn't made 100 million dollars can teach you how to do it? If you do, then, that's why you'll never achieve it.

Sensational stuff here. I couldn’t have been further off with my analysis on $QQQ $SPY along with $SNDK $NVDA etc. but, primarily due to what is mentioned below, rally does seem a bit odd. Also, minimal structure below. So, not exactly sure what the move is, but the next pullback should be telling.

Levels for $NQ and $QQQ are extra this week. I bult in a LOT of levels, because I'm pretty much expecting a somewhat range bound week until proven otherwise. I'm going to hold on a plan for a bit and play these zones ferociously and with larger size. - High level plan is, I don't see a move past 26,200 - 26,220 happening this week and if we're going to hold for a move higher, I suspect that hold will happen at either 24,500 or 24,700 levels. Any move back into the low 24K range is concerning for bulls if we stay down there too long. I have levels in the 23k range but not pertinent at the moment

$spy so you are telling me it took months to grind up to this high in the first place and we went down because of the war and the looming energy crisis and the war isn't over and the looming energy crisis is worse and we shot back up in two weeks. That's some bullshit. 😂

$TSM $SNDK Strongly recommend taking profits on both SNDK and TSM and flipping bearish up here. scale slowly in to puts over the next couple days.

Going to jump into my week ahead analysis on $NQ / $QQQ Levels to be posted over the next couple hours

Taking a bit more off here on $BTC and keeping the SL in place at 72,200. Good chance it stops me out but good trade thus far and only 50% of position remaining.

Top stocks to fade near the highs (zones provided): $SNDK $TSM Top stocks to buy early this week near the lows: $BULL $SOFI Honorable mention for buys this week: $HOOD & $PYPL

$NQ / $QQQ not exactly sure what happened to my previous post but here are my levels and the weekly plan for the week - will possibly add a couple more after Sunday night PA. This will come in multiple posts. Currently, my overall thesis we build value higher to start the week. I'm specifically looking for a move higher on Monday and Tuesday, with some indecision on Thursday and a dump on Thursday and Friday. We have built value lower for 4 consecutive weeks, and there is no reason to thing that's changing, however some continuation a bit higher might make sense. I'll explain in future posts
