Wednesday AM Briefing # 826 | Nano Futures Discussed

5 Lessons From Today's AM Briefing The tape barreled north for days and every genius wanted to be first short. A FOMC-night Battle Plan trade dropped into BP3 and turned into a runner up over 400 points. Days like this pay the patient and punish the ones who fight the trend. Here is what today was actually teaching. Lesson 1: Hold your runners You never know which trade is the 400-pointer. Bank most of it at plan, then leave one contract alive so the rare monster move can pay you. Lesson 2: Trade the reclaim, not the guess Wait for price to get back over the range and hold the retest. When the back-test fails to break it, that is your green light. Not before. Lesson 3: Never call the top When bulls are in control and single prints are printing, countering the move blows accounts. Bulls control. Shorts are counter. Small, if at all. Lesson 4: Overextended is not a short signal Choosing not to add another long is smart. Flipping short because price feels stretched is a completely different and dangerous decision. Lesson 5: A no-trade day is a winning day When there is no Battle Plan trade and nothing of interest, Stand Down. Protect your capital and your mindset for the days that actually pay.
