Black Monday, Market Sell-Off, and an Exclusive Invite

Dear Traders,

I hope everyone is managing to stay afloat in this wild market. We’re witnessing a brutal Black Monday, with major indexes selling off sharply. As I write this, Tesla is down over 15%, the NASDAQ has dropped 4%, pushing deeper into correction territory, and the S&P 500 is breaking below its 200-day moving average, marking one of its steepest declines in recent days.

This sell-off is largely fueled by uncertainty surrounding tariff policies and the potential impact of a global trade war on economic growth. That’s why growth-focused stocks, like those in the QQQ ETF, are among the hardest hit.

How Should Traders Navigate This?

One of the biggest questions I get is how major economic events impact traders—and more importantly, how traders can prepare for them. To navigate these markets, you need a different mindset, one that comes from experience and understanding global macroeconomic shifts.

That’s exactly why I’m excited to announce that Dr. Brett Steenbarger, one of the top trading coaches and psychologists, will be joining us as a special guest for our upcoming TEDx Vancouver Summit & Live Trading Event.

Dr. Steenbarger has worked with some of the best traders in the world and is an active trader himself. He reached out to me this morning, emphasizing that today’s sell-off is a prime example of how macroeconomic forces shape trading opportunities. He also shared insights from a conversation with a fund manager about lessons from the 2000-2002 dot-com crash—insights that could be invaluable in today’s market environment.

If you’re serious about developing both your trading skills and mindset, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Over three days, we’ll dive deep into:

✅ How to adapt your strategy to major market shifts

✅ Understanding macroeconomic trends and their impact on trading

✅ The psychology of navigating volatile markets

I’m personally thrilled to welcome Dr. Brett Steenbarger—one of my favorite traders and trading coaches—to this life-changing event.
