When the "Chop Chop" is REAL, You MUST Control Yourself!


Today, I’m breaking down our live trading session, where we navigated the challenges of the broad market conditions.


Monday mornings can often set the tone for the week, and while today’s market was choppy, there were valuable lessons and insights to take away.


Broad Market Overview: A Choppy Start


As we opened the session, the broad markets – especially the Nasdaq, S&P, and Gold – were particularly choppy.


Price action was far from clean, making it tough to establish a clear direction for most of the morning.


However, Crude Oil emerged as the star, putting together a push that eventually took prices above $77.


This provided us with the only real momentum throughout the session.


Before we get into the details, it’s important to highlight that choppy markets like today can be tricky.


It’s easy to overtrade when there’s a lack of clear direction.


However, when we stick to our game plan and remain disciplined, we can still manage to come out ahead even in challenging conditions.



The Crude Oil Trade: Capturing the Move to $77


Early in the session, Crude Oil presented a choppy environment, with prices fluctuating without a clear breakout.


The opening bell didn’t provide much clarity either, as we attempted to make new highs, only to see prices fall back.


At one point, I took a position near the session’s VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) after noting the potential for price to push down toward session lows.


This trade was very calculated, and while we didn’t make new lows, the market showed signs of reverting slightly.


Things began to pick up around 10:45 AM, after an hour of choppy price action.


Once we broke through a previous interior high, I told the team that if price held above that level, we could push higher.


This aligned with my trade plan and confirmed the possibility of targeting liquidity levels at $77.


That level became the target, and we successfully hit it, with the market providing further upside momentum beyond $77.



A Morning of Multiple Trades: Lessons Learned


Today, I took more trades than I typically would – five trades in total.


This was more than my average, but each trade was based on valid technical setups and followed my trade plan.


Here’s a quick breakdown of my trades:


  • Two full target hits – These trades played out exactly as planned, hitting my predefined targets.

  • One full stop-out – While disappointing, it’s important to remember that stop-outs are a natural part of trading. We win some, we lose some.

  • Two partial stop-outs – These trades were stopped out at a profit, though they didn’t hit the full target.


In hindsight, I might have taken fewer trades if it were later in the week, but as it was Monday, I knew I had time to recover if needed.


Ultimately, despite the choppy market, it was a net positive day.


Trading on Mondays can sometimes lead to overtrading, but the key is to manage your risk and stay within your plan.



Market Context: External Factors at Play


The broader market remains indecisive, which is likely due to several macroeconomic factors.


There’s lingering uncertainty about the U.S. presidential election and the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly with potential U.S. retaliation after Iran’s actions in Israel.


These unresolved issues are causing a degree of hesitation and volatility in the markets.


As retail traders, it’s critical to be aware of the macro environment while focusing on our trade setups.


We can’t control these external factors, but we can control how we react and adapt to the market’s movements.



Key Takeaways for Retail Traders


  1. Stick to Your Plan: The most important lesson from today is to stick to your trading plan. Only act when the market aligns with your strategy. If the evidence supports a trade, take it. If it doesn’t, stay out. Patience is essential, especially in a choppy market.

  2. Don’t Overtrade: While today was an exception where I took more trades than usual, remember that less is often more. Overtrading can lead to unnecessary risk. Aim for quality setups, not quantity.

  3. Journaling Is Crucial: Every trade is a learning opportunity. I encourage you to document your trades, whether in an online journal or a simple notebook. Reflecting on your trades, both wins and losses, helps you improve as a trader. I personally record my trades and take notes after each session, so I can review what worked and what didn’t.

  4. Protect Your Capital: Always prioritize capital preservation. My primary objective after entering a trade is to protect my capital by moving my stop to break even or slightly into profit when possible. A small loss or breakeven trade is always better than letting a loser run.



Wrapping Up


Today’s session was a reminder that even in choppy markets, there are opportunities if we stay disciplined and follow our trade plans.


I ended the morning profitable despite the challenging conditions, and I hope you can apply some of these insights to your own trading.


Stay informed, stay focused and stay disciplined ! ! !



Thank you for reading, and I look forward to seeing you in our next session . . .


God bless, and have a wonderful day!

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer Stock, Futures, Forex & Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and it is not appropriate for everyone. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to speculate in the Stocks, Futures, Forex, and Options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell any securities. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown on this website.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

You should fully understand the risks associated with trading futures, options, ETF’s and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions (“Forex”) before making any trades.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
