Hey Trader,


Strength in Faith: A Trader's Journey


I hope this message finds you well and thriving in your trading endeavors.


I wanted to share a verse that has been particularly inspiring to me in both life and trading:


"Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."

- James 1:3


Trading, much like life, is filled with ups and downs.


There are days when the market tests our patience and our strategies, challenging our faith in our abilities and decisions.


It's during these moments of testing that we grow stronger and more resilient.


Every setback is an opportunity to build perseverance.


Each challenging day in the market is a lesson, a step towards becoming a more disciplined and knowledgeable trader.


Remember, it’s through these trials that we develop the tenacity to keep pushing forward, refining our skills, and ultimately achieving our goals.


So, the next time the market tests you, embrace it as a chance to strengthen your faith in your journey.


Trust that each challenge is shaping you into a more resilient and successful trader.


Wishing you strength and perseverance in all your trading endeavors!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Anthony Speciale



Nasdaq +200 Ticks, S&P 500 +35 Ticks, Crude Oil Breaks Significant Support


Welcome to a detailed recap of our latest live trading session, where I, Anthony Speciale, break down the trades taken, the insights gathered, and the strategies applied.



Let’s dive into the details to extract valuable lessons that can help you in your own trading journey.


Pre-Market Insights and Initial Observations


Before the market officially opened, I took a close look at the crude oil chart on a 5-minute rotation.


Each candle on this chart represents five minutes of price action, providing a clear picture of short-term trends.


Around 6:35 AM, the market had pushed to a new high, a move I wasn’t present for but noted upon my arrival.


A key observation was the divergence in the cumulative volume delta, which indicated that despite a higher price high, the volume didn’t follow suit.


This divergence suggested a potential top, either temporary or significant, was forming.


By 7:10 AM, I was ready to make my move.

The Trade: Capitalizing on Divergence


At 7:10 AM, I noticed a positive delta of 5 alongside a trapped delta of 48, a significant imbalance suggesting that buyers were getting stuck.


This setup prompted me to short crude oil at this point, targeting a profit level of 81.26 based on prior price action and the session VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).


The trade played out perfectly, pushing into my profit target without ever moving against me.


Content with this outcome, I decided to take my profit and step away from the market.

Post-Trade Analysis and Market Dynamics


After taking my profit, the market did pull back to the area where I initially shorted, but I advised my traders to watch for further downside targets, which included levels at 81.16, 80.97, and even as low as 80.67.



The market continued to sell off aggressively after the opening bell, confirming our downside bias.


Crude Oil Inventory Report and Its Impact


As we moved closer to the crude oil inventory report release, I emphasized the importance of not holding new positions through such events unless existing trades were already protected by advanced stop losses.

The report showed a build beyond forecasts, accelerating the market sell-off.


This further validated the importance of our identified support levels and trend lines.


NASDAQ and S&P 500


While Crude Oil is my personal exposure focus, we also identified highly predictable opportunities on the NASDAQ and S&P 500.



By 8:33 AM, the S&P 500 had consumed significant liquidity at 5530, paving the way for a clean move to the downside, targeting stacked pivots.

This synchronization between the NASDAQ and S&P 500 often puts the odds in traders’ favor.


On this particular day, both markets moved in harmony, providing substantial trading opportunities.

For those trading the NASDAQ, a 200-tick move to the downside was achievable, driven by the same dynamics influencing the S&P 500 that offered a 35-tick move.


The Power of Keeping It Simple


Throughout this session, I reiterated the importance of simplicity in trading.



This approach reduces noise and helps focus on the most critical market signals.


A Successful Trading Day


To wrap up, today’s session was a textbook example of how disciplined trading, rooted in clear analysis and strategic execution, leads to successful outcomes.


By sticking to my plan, identifying key levels, and leveraging market dynamics, I was able to secure a profitable trade early in the session.


If you’re looking to enhance your trading skills, remember to keep it simple, stay disciplined, and always have a clear plan.



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


Let's take your trading skills to the next level together.


God bless, and have a wonderful day. See you in tomorrow's recap.

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.

THERE IS RISK OF LOSS IN ALL TRADING. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. ALL RESULTS ARE HYPOTHETICAL.
