Outside Markets & Headlines
Shortly after hitting send in yesterday’s commentary, President Trump dropped a tape bomb on Truth Social that sent equity markets screaming higher, while oil dropped like a rock. Intra-day highs and lows for those markets held through the session as markets walked back some of the optimism around peace in the middle east. Regardless of what your opinion or bias is on those headlines, it’s a reminder that the market doesn’t care about your bias or opinion. It’s more important than ever to be financially and mentally prepared for a random headline or social media post to unravel what your bias may have been.

Performance Disclaimer
Hypothetical 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 that 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 that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
