QUESTION

What is the biggest mistake you made last week trading?

Reply to this email with your answer, Monday I will write a blog on the best answer.

MARKETS

Wall Street punched higher today. The Dow clocked in a fresh gain, S&P 500 marched up, and tech kept the pace, though the Nasdaq handed back a sliver. Germany’s DAX and London’s FTSE tacked on points. Asia followed suit, Nikkei blazing ahead with momentum. Oil slipped, Bitcoin edged up. Volatility ticked higher.

TRADER INSIGHTS

Risk blows up more traders than bad calls ever will. You think you’re following your rules, 1% risk, journal, the works. But catch a few losses and you shrink when you should attack, then size up on trash setups just to get even. Sound familiar? Welcome to the club.

Risk tolerance isn’t fixed. You get tight after losses and reckless when pumped. Trading gets ugly when your best setups are undersized and your worst trades are oversized. It’s not a discipline thing, it’s your brain tripping you up.

Forget the “just risk 1%” myth. Real pros grade setups and adjust size. Seriously… A+ trade gets more, C setup gets scraps. Track how you feel after each trade and watch the patterns pop up. If bigger size freaks you out, practice with sim or micro lots till it feels normal.

You’re not weak, just untrained at handling risk under pressure. Stop sizing up out of anger or fear. Start building confidence in your risk game now, not when real cash is on the line. Don’t let this beat you. -SA

NEWS

🚢 China might talk trade with the U.S., but they want all tariffs off the table. Both sides are playing hardball, nobody wants to blink first. We’re probably looking at a slow grind, not a quick flip (Kick flip). -CNBC

🚗 VW’s boss says they might shift Audi production to the US to dodge Trump’s 25% tariffs. Porsche stays out, too low volume. VW’s getting squeezed, even with a Tennessee plant. The US is now key as China fades. No word on price hikes yet, but don’t bet against it. -NewsAU

💰 Truck hauling $800K in dimes flips on a Texas highway. Lanes shut for hours. Cleanup wasn’t pretty. Driver and passenger got banged up, but nothing major. Western Distributing hauled it, but they're tight-lipped. The Mint? Radio silent. -APnews

FOREX

Hedge funds just hit record-long JPY positions, and you can feel the FOMO. But did the train already leave? The BoJ kept rates flat (no shocker) but their governor got wishy-washy about inflation, especially with global growth slowing.

Tokyo’s Core CPI just smoked forecasts, but now rate hikes look dicey unless tariffs chill out. JPY wobbled after the news, then rolled over hard once New York got involved. No mystery there if you’ve been tracking hedge fund futures, they’re stacked at levels where every past rally flopped.

The currency strength meter backed this up: Yen was king for weeks, then face-planted from +5 to -1. Now the narrative’s flipped. Macro shifts are starting, but the data still needs to catch up, this is a spot where traders get chopped up if they chase.

Look at $USDJPY ( ▼ 0.11% ) . The chart’s still grinding lower, eyeing 148.00-149.00 for a retest. Don’t get stubborn. Stay sharp and watch your risk, nothing’s a sure thing, especially with crowded trades. Strap in. -JK

CRYPTO

Half of all coins? Gone.

Since 2021, 3.7 million crypto projects have disappeared, most of them total junk, pump-and-dump tokens, zero utility, or straight rug pulls. Critics love to point and laugh, but this is what a real market flush looks like. Reminds me of the dot-com blow-up; most got wrecked, but Amazon and Google walked out stronger. That’s happening now. The grifters and meme coins are getting stomped, clearing space for the real players (Bitcoin, ETH, Solana, XRP). These aren’t just bags to flip; they actually do things and keep the network running.

Investors are finally getting it. No one cares about some dog-face token or hyped cash grab after losing enough trades. Nobody’s crying for the trash to get cleaned up. This is a needed reset. Yeah, the pain stings, but if you’re in it for more than fast flips, this is where you want to be. Get real or get out, the market doesn’t care. Let’s see who shows up for the next round. -PL
