Hey Trader,


Finding Strength in Humility


In the fast-paced world of trading, it's easy to feel the pressure to always have it all figured out.


Yet, true strength often comes in humility—acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers but trusting in the One who does.


Matthew 5:3

This verse reminds us that when we approach life with a humble heart, recognizing our need for God, we open ourselves to His endless wisdom and provision.


Keep striving forward, but never forget to rely on His grace as you navigate the markets.


Stay encouraged, and keep the faith!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Anthony Speciale




Identified LIVE: $4,050 PROFIT By Trading Through VWAP's Into Pivot


Welcome to the recap of our Monday, September 23rd LIVE analysis session.


The market conditions have been choppy across the board, reflecting a broader uncertainty in various asset classes.


However, for retail traders focused on crude oil, today provided an excellent example of how to capitalize on market movements—especially during sell-offs.


In this post, we’ll break down the key trade setups, risk management strategies, and overall market conditions we encountered today.


While the broader market made a statement of hesitation, crude oil was the standout performer, providing traders with a clear, controlled sell-off to navigate.


Crude Oil: A Day of Missed Opportunities and Lessons Learned


Let’s get right to it: Today’s crude oil session provided a beautiful ride to the downside—a move that many traders dream of.


Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take full advantage of this opportunity as I had a scheduled doctor's appointment and had to step away from my trading desk.


But that’s life, and the market won’t wait for us.


That said, I did manage to execute one trade earlier in the day.


The setup came from a push to the downside before we saw a brief reversal.


As the market broke through a key level, I captured some profit but didn’t see the full follow-through I was hoping for.


I tightened my stop to protect against losses, and while I got stopped out, it was still in profit.


This situation underlines a key point for traders: Even when you miss the big move, protecting your capital and securing small wins is essential.

Understanding the Sell-Off and Trade Setup


Early in the session, crude oil began showing signs of weakness.


We had a clear support level that was retested, and the market failed to push higher.


Once that level gave way, the sell-off gained momentum. My target for the move was around 70.70, and the market didn’t disappoint.


As we approached that level, the market faced rejection before resuming its downward trend.


When we broke through this key level around 11:00 AM, I noted to my fellow traders that the next targets were 70.40 and, potentially, as low as 69.40.


This type of calculated move offers great opportunities for retail traders to step in with defined risk and manage their trades effectively.


The market action was smooth, with each new low providing a chance to lock in profits or move stops accordingly.


Risk Management: Protecting Your Profits


One of the most important lessons from today is the importance of risk management.


In any market, especially during a controlled sell-off like we saw in crude oil, paying yourself along the way and protecting your profits is crucial.


As traders, we often focus too much on catching the entire move, but there’s no shame in taking partial profits as the market unfolds.


As crude oil continued to push lower, advancing stops and locking in gains allowed me to minimize risk while still capitalizing on the broader move.


This disciplined approach ensures that, even when you miss the bulk of a move (as I did by stepping away), you’re still walking away with profit in hand.


For retail traders, understanding when to take partial profits and adjust your stop loss as the market moves in your favor is key to long-term success.



The Bigger Picture: Broader Market Choppiness


While crude oil provided a clear trading opportunity, the broader market was much less forgiving.


After some lackluster 9:45 AM economic numbers, we didn’t see much significant movement.


The market remained choppy, reflecting uncertainty that’s likely been building from last week’s interest rate decisions.


This choppiness can be dangerous for retail traders, as it creates indecision and often leads to getting caught on the wrong side of trades.


In these conditions, it’s critical to be patient and wait for clear trade setups—just like the one we saw in crude oil.


Wrapping It Up: Lessons for Retail Traders


Today’s session underscores several important principles that every retail trader should keep in mind:


  • Stick to Your Trade Plan: I talk about the importance of having a plan and waiting for specific criteria to be met before entering trades. Today’s sell-off in crude oil was a textbook example of waiting for your moment and then managing the trade carefully as it develops.

  • Risk Management is Key: Always pay yourself as the market offers profits. Whether it’s moving your stop to lock in gains or taking partial profits at key levels, risk management will keep you in the game for the long term.

  • Choppy Markets Require Caution: When the broader market is directionless, it’s easy to get chopped up. Focus on the markets or setups that offer clear direction, like crude oil did today, and avoid over-trading in uncertain conditions.


In summary, while today’s session had its ups and downs, it offered a great lesson in discipline, risk management, and the importance of waiting for clear market conditions before committing to a trade.


Even if I wasn’t able to ride the full crude oil sell-off, sticking to my principles ensured that I walked away with profit and minimized my risk.

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.

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.

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.
