Hey Trader,


Find Strength in Weakness


In the fast-paced world of trading, it's easy to feel the weight of pressure and uncertainty.


But amidst the challenges, there is a source of strength that transcends our limitations.


2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, “My grace is all you need, for my power is the greatest when you are weak.”


These words offer a powerful reminder that in our moments of weakness, we can find strength in the grace of a higher power.


As you face the ups and downs of the market, remember that you are not alone.


Lean into the grace that surrounds you, and trust that divine power is at work, even in your moments of vulnerability.


May the words of 2 Corinthians 12:9 inspire you to embrace your weaknesses as opportunities for growth and transformation.


With faith as your anchor, you can navigate the challenges of trading with courage and resilience.


Wishing you strength and perseverance in your trading journey!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Dow Surges Over 400 Points as April Jobs Report Spurs Fed Rate Cut Hopes


Friday's trading session, the market experienced a significant uptick, driven by optimism surrounding the April jobs report and the potential for Federal Reserve rate cuts.


Here's a quick rundown of what happened:


  • Dow Jones Industrial Average soared by 450.02 points, marking a robust 1.18% increase, closing at 38,675.68.


  • S&P 500 had its best day since February, surging 1.26% to settle at 5,127.79.


  • Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.99%, closing at 16,156.33, rounding off a positive week for major indices.


Jobs Report Impact:


The April jobs report, which showed a softer-than-expected increase in nonfarm payrolls, fueled hopes that the Federal Reserve might consider cutting interest rates soon. With 175,000 jobs gained, below economists' expectations, and a slight uptick in the unemployment rate to 3.9%, investors interpreted the data as a sign of a cooling job market. This perception boosted expectations of future rate cuts, leading to a surge in stock prices.




Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management, highlighted that the weaker job growth and moderate wage gains have alleviated concerns about the economy overheating. Instead, it has reignited hopes for rate cuts, prompting a rally in equity markets.


Market Reaction:


Following the jobs report, traders began pricing in the possibility of a second rate cut by the end of the year. This sentiment was reflected in the movement of Fed funds futures, which indicated a nearly 50% likelihood of a 25 basis point rate cut in September. Consequently, rates dropped, benefiting rate-sensitive sectors such as technology.


Corporate Performance:


Strong quarterly reports from major companies like Apple and Amgen further fueled the market rally. Apple's announcement of a $110 billion share repurchase and Amgen's positive update on an experimental obesity drug contributed to their stock surges.



Friday's trading session saw a notable surge in the market, driven by optimism surrounding the April jobs report and the potential for Fed rate cuts. As investors navigate the evolving economic landscape, they remain attentive to key indicators and corporate performances that may influence market sentiment in the coming weeks.


Stay tuned for more updates on market trends and trading insights.

S&P 500 Retail Analysis for Monday: May 6, 2024


Let's break down some important numbers for you to keep an eye . . .


If we see the market falling towards 5110.00, there's a good chance of support being found and price could then rally towards 5330.00. Potentially continuing to rise from there if strong enough resistance isn't found over the next several weeks.



But if the market goes down and closes below 5110.00, it could mean that the selling pressure might be ramping up, and we might start seeing things get worse. Perhaps even see it go down to 4810.00 in the next several week, and maybe even beyond that.

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.

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.
