| Hey Nasdaqians, | Let's be real — this tape hasn't exactly been a thrill ride. We're still drifting higher, but the juice is getting squeezed. Most sessions felt like watching paint dry... but if you waited for the right level and didn't force it? Opportunity knocked. | I've been keeping it tight: fewer trades, smaller targets, but clean execution when price reached my key zones. | Nothing fancy, just structure, patience, and scalping with purpose. | | 📌 What's Inside This Issue- Market Sentiment: Trend still intact — but follow-through has slowed. Key levels are respected, but fewer setups mean greater discipline.
- Looking Ahead: Earnings headlines could wake up the tape. I'll be ready — less is more until we see structure open up.
- Golden Setup: Friday's scalp off the 26s was a beauty — lower target, quick pop, and done for the day. That's the playbook right now.
- Personal Note: Summer grind means dialing in focus. And hey — while I'm staying tactical, Don just pulled **114% in MMM** and **118% in AXP** using his **Magnet Moves**. Join him next week — earnings season is just getting started! Sign up here.
| | 🟨 Market Sentiment | The overall structure remains bullish, but this week was all about patience. | We're floating higher with low energy — and when the market lacks urgency, it's not about how many trades you take. It's about finding the trade. I focused on the levels that always matter to me and let price come to me. | Momentum wasn't missing… it was just shy. That's why precision matters. | | 🔭 Looking Ahead | We're heading into heavier earnings flow next week. | That means: | Stay small until you see range expand Let price confirm your level — not your bias Scalps are valid when bigger targets don't open up
| Remember, the best trade is often the one you don't take. Sit tight, wait for the tape to tip its hand. | | 🔂 Golden Setup This Week | Friday. Tricky day for most — but a dream day for those dialed in. | Price served up not one, but multiple clean Golden Setups right into my favorite level: the 26s. | 🔹 Result Highlight:
Three separate long entries at the 26 level — each one hit the $620 base target. That's the kind of day that reminds you why structure matters. | 🔹 Setup Conditions: | Slow tape all week… Price dropped clean into 26s — a textbook bounce zone. We struck fast, scaled out with precision, and wrapped the week strong.
| 🔹 Strategy Tip:
Don't sleep on Fridays - but focus on reducing risk and taking it with caution. Stay sharp, size right, and don't overstay your welcome. | 💥 What a way to close the week — multiple targets hit, no stress, just structure and execution. | | 💬 Personal Note | I'll be honest — weeks like this remind me why I love what I do. | Slow tape? No problem. I get to drink my coffee, scan a few Instagram memes, and prep for that one shot. | And while I'm keeping it tight on the futures side, my buddy Don Kaufman is lighting up the options world. Two trades from Thursday's Magnet Moves webinar already paid out: | | Before most traders even finished their first coffee, those plays were done. | Earnings season is just heating up — and if you're not tuned into these Magnet setups yet, do yourself a favor and sign up for Don's Earnings Flips program here. | Let's stay sharp, stay selective, and keep stacking wins — one level at a time. | | Tony Rago |
