I suffered a great loss because of you. I've been holding back for three days, hoping for nothing. This is completely different from the results.

Sorry for the loss bro...but 'hope' is always a recipe for disaster...and because of who? You..meaning Trmp? The markets or Trump don't care, so next time don't hope. It's all on YOU, not them.

May 14, 2026 11:45pm

I don't understand how guys don't like this man for the volatility he brings. We thrive in the chaos he orchestrates. Whatever else he does I don't really care, i only need his volatility stings. Only swing traders suffer from him because I know their positions get stopped often.

They ARE at an interesting level (/zb below 112) The problem is that equity markets are at all time highs this round. The last couple of times Trump Tacoed to save the bond market we were also in an equity free fall.

Equities need a good 4-5% pullback before NVDA earnings can rally it all again....but with the strength of semis, I just don't know if that is possible.

the entire run 7000 to 7500 took 4 weeks and it could unwind in half that time if the bonds continue to slide and crude prices keep rising.

I don't see crude going up much more though (certainly not back to 120+). Don't get me wrong, elevated crude = higher energy = inflation = bad....but the markets have discounted all of that for the time being and are clearly saying "semiconductors/AI datacenter buildout > everything else".

Until such time as that is no longer the narrative, the sky is the limit.

As a contrarian trader, I am foolishly betting against it going on forever. I am, however, positioned for a small(ish) pullback of 3-5% before calling it quits to the short side. ....then again, I was telling myself that same thing 8% ago in the /nq

hi, i have been learning trading for 4-5 months now, just wanted to know what did you mean by Black friday? i saw the XAUUSD ranged $153 with almost 0.72 trendiness score(down) so it was black friday. But did you mean that when you posted this due to Trump's tweet? because usually friday's are shit and have very less range.

And now Trump is finally admitting it loud and clear!!!

After reading the comments for weeks now, I can honestly say: you people really don’t get it.
The entire war on Iran is about saving the U.S. dollar. Closing the Strait is one of the first objectives of this plan, and it’s working well. Stop being naive!
