Hey Trader,
Elevate Your Trading Journey With Faith
I hope this message finds you well. As we navigate the ups and downs of the trading world, it's essential to remember that patience and humility are key to our success.
I want to share a powerful verse that can inspire and guide us in our trading endeavors:
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time."
- 1 Peter 5:6
In the fast-paced world of trading, it’s easy to get caught up in the chase for quick profits and instant gratification. However, true success often comes to those who remain humble and trust the process. This verse reminds us that by staying grounded and patient, we position ourselves for greater achievements when the time is right.
Humility in trading means acknowledging that we can't control the market, but we can control our reactions and strategies. It means learning from our mistakes, being open to continuous improvement, and trusting that our hard work and dedication will pay off in due time.
Let this verse be a source of inspiration for you today. Embrace humility, stay patient, and trust that your efforts will be rewarded. Your journey in the markets, much like life, is a marathon, not a sprint.
Wishing you all the best in your trading journey. Remember, you’re not alone—lean on your faith and community for support!
Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will

Inventory Report Sends Crude Oil Prices Tumbling
Today, I want to discuss a challenging trading day and share some insights on navigating volatile market conditions.
It's essential to stay informed and adapt your strategies to make the most of every opportunity, even when the market seems unpredictable.
The Morning Rundown
We began our trading session today with several significant economic events that influenced market movements.
At 8:30 AM, we had the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers, followed by the crude oil inventory report at 10:30 AM.
Later in the afternoon, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced the Fed funds rate and delivered various speeches.
These events collectively contributed to a tough trading morning.
Market Reactions and Opportunities
In our analysis, we focused on the Nasdaq, the S&P 500, and Gold.
All three experienced difficulties this morning but also presented unique opportunities.
However, it wasn't as straightforward as we would have liked.
Crude oil, in particular, posed significant challenges until after the inventory report.
Crude Oil Inventory Report
The crude oil inventory report was highly anticipated.
The market expected a draw of 1.2 million barrels, but instead, there was a surprising build of 3.7 million barrels.
This unexpected result caused a sharp decline in crude prices.
We had identified a key level at 78.72 early in the morning, and when the market stayed below this level, it indicated potential continuation to the downside.
Key Levels and Quick Trades
We identified several support levels below 78.72, including 78.56, 78.39, 78.26, 78.17, and 78.05.
When the market showed a strong momentum push and the top appeared exaggerated, I made a quick trade.
It was an aggressive but calculated move, given the identified support layers.
I entered and exited swiftly, capitalizing on the momentum and taking profits quickly.
The Importance of Patience and Timing
On days with significant economic events like today, patience and timing are crucial.
I waited until after 10:30 AM to place my trade, having been at my desk since 6:30 AM.
Despite spending hours without making a move, I was prepared to sit out the day if necessary. This discipline is vital, especially when facing potential broad market issues.
Guidance for My Clients
Throughout the session, I kept my clients informed, explaining the key levels and potential support areas.
As the price moved, I advised them on possible scenarios and levels to watch.
This communication ensures that everyone understands the thought process behind the analysis and can make informed decisions.
Today's trading session was a testament to the importance of staying informed, patient, and ready to adapt.
By carefully analyzing the market and waiting for the right opportunities, we can navigate even the toughest trading days successfully.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Stay disciplined, stay informed, and let's continue to grow together as traders.
Appreciate you all. God bless, and I'll see you in the next video!
Happy Trading,
