We are Witnessing History

Dear Traders,

We are witnessing history.

I’m sure that in the future, people will look back at these moments—today’s events—and there will be documentaries, case studies, college courses, Wikipedia pages, and financial analyses all about what we’re experiencing right now.

Today marks a major turning point: the day when President Trump’s new tariffs officially came into effect. The markets had already been weak in the days leading up to it, with traders and investors pricing in uncertainty and fear about a potential global trade war.

What surprised me, though, was how the market didn’t sell off as aggressively as I expected once the tariffs actually kicked in. It was holding up… until something big happened.

At 9:37 AM, President Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, saying it’s a “great time to buy.” That single post triggered a sharp rally in the markets. It was short-lived, but we were ready. In our chatroom and on YouTube, we jumped on a really nice trade off that spike. Timing was everything, and our community nailed it.

Later in the day, just when we thought the drama was over, another bombshell dropped. Around 1:19 PM, an announcement was made that changed everything again: the President revealed a new plan to pause tariffs for most of the world for 90 days, keeping the full tariff increase targeted only at China.

So essentially, the trade war has now narrowed its focus. Instead of being a global trade war, it’s becoming a bilateral one between the U.S. and China. That news completely flipped the market sentiment. Stocks exploded higher.

As I’m writing this, we are witnessing one of the strongest market rallies since 2008. The QQQ is up over 12%, and SPY is up over 10%. It’s rare to see moves like this, it’s truly historic.

But aside from the markets, I want to share something more personal.

This volatility hasn’t just shaken the markets, it’s shaken me too. Over the last couple of days, I went through one of the toughest times in my trading career. A big portion of the profit I had built over the last two years was wiped out, just like that.

I’m not here to sugarcoat it. I’ve always been confident in my abilities, and I still am. I know I’ll make the money back, hopefully over the next six months to a year. But this experience forced me to really pause and reflect.

Why am I doing this? Why am I taking such huge positions on leveraged products, both in day trades and swing trades? And why have I sometimes let ego get in the way, posting big P&Ls on social media, trying to prove that I’m one of the best out there?

The truth is, this was a reality check. It reminded me that even if you have strong technical skills and can scalp like a pro, you’re still vulnerable to the unexpected, those black swan events that can break your rules and shake your foundation. It showed me that I still have fundamental things to work on when it comes to risk management, especially with large accounts.

I spent the last few days thinking deeply about my journey. And I’m incredibly grateful for the supportive messages I’ve received from so many of you. It means a lot.

Moving forward, I want to be more intentional about the path I’m on. I want to focus on taking smarter trades, protecting profits, and doubling down on my mission to be a great trading educator. I want to be an example, not just of how to win, but of how to endure, adapt, and stay grounded when things go sideways.

Because this is the real journey of a trader.

There will be amazing highs, and there will be sudden drops from a tweet, a rate decision, or a surprise policy. We can’t control the news, but we can control how we prepare for it, how we manage risk, and how we show up the next day.

And that’s where community comes in.
