🚨 I’ll be live at 9 a.m. ET🚨
The S&P 500 is back to all-time highs, so where’s the resistance forming? We’ll cover that, whether a pause or pullback is coming and more [tap to join us for the Daily Profit Plan]!
Here’s something that might surprise you about this year’s market action.
Despite all the volatility we’ve seen — including a nearly 10% peak-to-trough drawdown — we’re essentially back to flat for the year. That means if you just bought and held, you’ve got nothing to show for riding out all that chaos.
But if you’re trading this market with the ups and downs, and trading good strategies with good mechanics and good probabilities, you’re finding ways to make money. And that’s exactly what separates active traders from passive investors during sideways, grinding markets like this one.
The difference comes down to one simple philosophy: Take thousands and thousands of trades, and it adds up pretty nicely.
The Base Hit Approach to Trading Success
I’m not out here swinging for home runs. Almost every trade I take is just a base hit — some with higher risk than reward, some with higher reward than risk. The key is that I’m always taking the swing.
This is a volume game. I take thousands of trades — because when you trade with enough edge, those base hits compound into real profits over time. That’s how you extract value from markets that aren’t giving buy-and-hold investors anything.
You can’t let a loss set you back. You can’t let a loss discourage you from a strategy. Losses happen, and they’re part of the process, but they don’t get to dictate whether you show up for the next opportunity.
The goal every time I press the button is to not lose. I don’t want to lose ever. But I know that when I do — and losses are inevitable — I’m not going to be discouraged to just turn my computer off and never show up again.
The Commitment That Makes the Edge Work
This mentality requires knowing your strategies inside and out. Know your risk and reward, and be ready to do thousands of trades with just enough edge to make money. That foundation is what allows traders to navigate volatile environments without getting shaken out.
Consistency is what turns an edge into actual results. It’s about showing up every single day with a defined risk style — small risk, steady reward — and executing with discipline. Most traders don’t fail because their strategies are bad…
They fail because they stop applying them.
I’m going to show up and trade tomorrow, and I’ll be back the next day. We’ll grind through this market regardless of what it gives us. That’s the commitment that turns sideways markets into income instead of frustration.
When you approach trading this way, volatile and directionless markets stop being something you endure. They become something you capitalize on.
I’ll see you in the markets.
