Hey friend,
We got the weekly jobless claims report today, which showed a decline to a seven-month low.
Other than that, not much else for the rest of the week (as expected).
This newsletter will also be off till next Monday.
The Daily Direction
Note: All indexes closed sharply higher again yesterday and opened higher today as well – sending all index directions back into upward territory.
The Daily Nugget
Choppy markets don’t change the playbook.
When markets are rough, it’s easy to start second-guessing.
Every trade feels harder, every move feels more stressful, and the urge to sit on the sidelines grows stronger.
But here’s what separates real traders from the rest – they trust the process.
Markets go through cycles.
Some stretches are easy, others are a grind.
But the best strategies don’t fall apart just because conditions get tough.
They adapt, they manage risk, and most importantly, they position traders for when the tide inevitably turns.
The edge doesn’t change – only the market does.
And when conditions shift, the traders who stayed steady will be the ones ready to capitalize.
That’s why it’s also important to lean on those who’ve seen all these cycles play out before.
They understand how most people overreact – creating opportunities for those who don’t.
Happy Thanksgiving – and we’ll see you Monday.
