My Best Week Ever: Crushing INTC, PLTR, & TQQQ
Dear Traders,
I hope everyone had a solid trading day. For me, this past week has been one of the best trading weeks of my career. Seriously. There were some major opportunities, and I jumped on a few of them, especially with INTC, PLTR, and TQQQ. I traded INTC yesterday twice for solid profits, and I’ll be posting the recaps soon for all our members and YouTube subscribers.
If you haven’t been watching our YouTube recaps, I highly recommend checking them out. They’re packed with important lessons, and they really show how valuable it is to be part of a trading community: spotting setups, sharing ideas, and learning from each other.
One of the biggest headlines this week was PLTR. I’m subscribed to The Economist, one of my favorite publications, and an article on August 12 caught my attention about PLTR.
Until two days ago, it melted, while everyone expected it to go to $200.
The article named it one of the most overvalued companies in market history.
Then yesterday, Citron Research, a major short-seller, announced a short position on PLTR. That kind of call usually triggers a meltdown in inflated stocks.
If you don’t know about Citron and Andrew Left, look them up. They’ve shaken up quite a few big names over the years.
We had some awesome trades on PLTR, and I break down exactly how we found gap levels and built trades around them in the recap coming soon.
This morning was a rollercoaster for me. I took two trades and got stopped out. But then on the third trade, I nailed it with a textbook Bearish Engulfing Crack pattern. I went short, added into the move, and caught a drop from $154 down to $142, a nearly 10% move with a big win. That one’s also going into the YouTube recap.
If you want to see how I traded it and how I managed risk across two accounts, make sure to check out the upcoming recap. And yes, I’ll also show how to sign up for a free trial of our Elite Membership, so you can get access to the full experience.
Also, I traded TQQQ live in the chatroom this morning. At the open, QQQ was down 1.7%, and I spotted an opportunity to go long on TQQQ. You’ll see the screenshot below. I shared it in the chat before entering the trade. It turned out to be one of the best trades of the day.
I’ll be posting a recap of that too, along with the PLTR and Intel trades. Definitely keep an eye on the YouTube channel over the next few days.
