Dear Traders, I was recently asked by a website to comment on the issue of when it is best to trade stocks and when it is best to trade index funds. In short, my response was that for day traders, it is better to focus on index funds and leveraged ETFs when the overall market […]
Today started very slow, but in the end it turned out to be a very volatile day. As I write this, the market has bounced back from its early morning losses and Brian and I (and hopefully you) were able to make some nice trades. Thanks to Jarad, I traded LCID and NVDA while Brian […]
Dear Traders, If you were not live in the chatroom this morning, here is a link to the recap that Brian and I posted earlier today. You’ll see how we traded a bounce on QQQ and BABA. In addition, Aiman and Simon have uploaded their weekly REPLAY video that can be seen here. If you […]

Dear Traders, 2022 has started very strong, and automobile mania continues, especially with TSLA and F. Thus far this week we have had some amazing trades on these 2 stocks. Please watch the recap that Brian and I posted yesterday regarding our trades on F as well as the recap regarding today’s trading on F. […]
Dear Traders, Happy New Year! I hope everyone has started this year well and strong. The market continues to show exceptional volatility, based in part on Tesla’s announcement yesterday of record-breaking car deliveries. Today, Tesla gapped up over 9% and pushed toward an all-time high of $1243 per share. Semiconductors are also robust with both […]
Dear Traders, First off, we have a few spots left for our 4th Peak Capital Trading boot camp, where we will help you build a successful and consistent TradeBook. The next boot camp starts on January 10, 2022 and you can sign up here. This week has been slow. I had some small wins yesterday […]
Dear Traders, Although 2021 was very eventful and exciting, it also went by very fast. Reflecting back over the last 12 months, there are so many happenings to remember. A few that come readily to my mind include the Suez Canal blockage, Elon Musk hosting Saturday Night Live and being named TIME Person of the […]
Dear Traders, We are pleased and a bit surprised by the number of people who signed up on the first day of registration yesterday for the next Peak Capital Trading bootcamp. We are already at almost 40% capacity for the next bootcamp, so I recommend that if you are interested, please secure your spot early […]
Dear Traders, What a wild market we are in, thanks to the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 which is causing more lockdowns and restrictions in Europe and around the world. Apparently, our war with Covid is never going to end. All indexes are down, and IWM, as usual, is leading the weakness by dropping roughly […]
A couple of days ago a member sent me an email with a post that said, “a trader can’t force a trade any more than a surfer can force a wave to come together. Great surfers wait. They recognize patterns. When they see the perfect wave coming, they put themselves in the best possible position […]
Dear Traders, These are scary times in the stock market. Yesterday, Jerome Powell’s speech was heartwarming for Wall Street, and stocks such as SPY and QQQ surged to mostly new all-time highs. Today, on the other hand, a bloodbath is unfolding, especially for the highly overvalued technology companies in QQQ. One thing that Federal Reserve […]
Dear Traders, I have now concluded the Extreme option of the Santo AntĂŁo Triangle Trail Race in Cape Verde, a collection of volcanic islands off the coast of northwest Africa. The race itself was just under 70 miles (110 km) in length with an elevation gain of some 22,000 feet (6,706 m), and I finished […]
Dear Traders, I am writing this newsletter from Cape Verde, a beautiful island in the central Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. As you will recall from my last newsletter, I am participating in a 110 km (68 mile) trail running race. It is literally stunning here, and also very hot, which is a […]
Dear Traders, I am writing today’s newsletter on the plane as I am heading to Africa for one of the longest trail runnings I have ever done! I promise that if I survive this 110km (68 mile) run, I will include pictures in my next email. Before leaving, I spent an exceptional morning trading with […]
Dear Traders, Happy December! It is hard to believe but there is only 1 month left until 2022. The market has certainly been volatile this year and today we saw a gap up of over 1.5% for all indexes. This is almost exclusively due to the world digesting the impact of the new COVID-19 variant. […]
Dear Traders, Happy Cyber Monday! I will start this newsletter with a few important reminders. Firstly, one of Ardi’s books is now available for free on Amazon. If you would like to have a copy, please check it out here. Both Ardi and I would be very grateful if, after reading it, you would take […]
Dear Traders, I am back in the Vancouver office after traveling to a few different cities and continents including Toronto, NYC, DC, Doha, Kilimanjaro, and Istanbul. I will be trading from the office until our big meetup in Vancouver + art EDM music event, the latter being put on by some of my friends in […]
Dear Traders, Hello again from Istanbul, Turkey. I am looking forward to coming back home to Vancouver next week and to finalize the preparations for hosting all of you in two weeks! I made some really good trades today, and in particular with LCID and MRNA. I also did not repeat yesterday’s mistake and was […]
Dear Traders, Hello from Istanbul, Turkey. I am here in this beautiful and ancient city visiting some family members and (of course!) traders. I will be back in our Vancouver office next week, but for now, enjoy a picture of me sitting below Kilimanjaro summit trying to catch a short on Lucid! Thanks to the […]
