Trader
spySo far, we are holding on the trend line /Base that has been here since this move up began.
I will be watching to see if we break this line to head lower and add to puts etc. So far it has acted as the TP zone from puts already bought and as a short term bounce for some quick plays this morning on calls.
However i think we can go lower to the next one or two blue lines i marked below.

Meditations for the Modern TraderDrawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, this guide distills ancient Stoic principles into modern trading strategies. Dive in to discover how to strengthen your trading mindset and unlock your unique edge.
1. On Emotion and the Markets
Remember: The markets are indifferent to your emotions. Anxiety, joy, desperation – these are constructs of your own mind and have no bearing on the ebb and flow of currencies or stocks. Allow your decision-making to be guided not by the heat of the moment, but by calculated, unbiased reasoning.
2. The Impermanence of Success and Failure
Today you may rejoice in your gains, yet tomorrow, you might lament your losses. Both states are transient, just as day turns to night. Strive, then, not for constant triumph, but for a balanced mind that remains unperturbed by these shifts.
3. Humility in Profit, Acceptance in Loss
Each transaction in the market offers an opportunity to learn humility and acceptance. When you profit, do not let arrogance cloud your judgment. When you lose, do not fall into the abyss of self-pity. Recognize that both are integral aspects of the trader's journey.
4. The Futility of Prediction
Remember that no man can predict the movements of the market with unerring accuracy. Do not let fear of the unknown cripple your actions. Instead, make educated decisions based on research and your understanding of the market, accepting the inherent uncertainty of the trade.
5. On Overindulgence
Excessive trading is akin to overindulgence in food or drink - it may bring temporary satisfaction but can lead to long-term harm. Moderation is key. Know when to act and when to remain still.
6. The Trap of Comparisons
Comparing oneself to others is a distraction and an invitation to distress. Your path in trading is your own and must not be dictated by another’s success or failure. Seek to better yourself and not simply to surpass others.
7. Learning From Mistakes
Each mistake is an opportunity for growth. Instead of fearing errors, embrace them as teachers. Learn from them, adjust your strategies, and forge ahead with newfound knowledge.
8. Acceptance of Market Forces
Just as one must accept the changing of the seasons, accept the cycles of the market. There will be times of plenty and times of scarcity. In both, stay steadfast and remember that this, too, shall pass.
9. The Power of Patience
Do not expect instant success in your trading endeavors. Mastery comes with time and experience. Be patient with your progress and do not rush the journey. The fruit of patience is often sweet.
10. The Mind as the Trader's Greatest Asset
Your greatest tool in trading is not a strategy or algorithm, but your mind. Cultivate it with knowledge, exercise it with practice, and keep it balanced with mindfulness. In a balanced mind, reasoned decision-making thrives.
Trade with wisdom, patience, and acceptance, and let not the waves of market tides disturb your inner peace. Embrace the journey with all its ups and downs, for this is the path of the enlightened trader.

inflation & yieldsThe Us 10 Year yield is one of the most important yields to follow.
It greatly impacts long term investment decisions in a vast array of markets; stocks, bonds, real estate.
A clear technical breakout is being observed & this could mean inflation is becoming entrenched.
Yields have a tendency to rally in parabolic fashion. if this breakout holds we can likely expect higher rates.

SPY / SPX at an inflection pointThe S&P500 is on the verge of breaking down very hard.
If we reject at the neckline tomorrow that is bearish.
If we close above the neckline it is bullish.
Either way a big move should occur once we know where we close.
After a hotter than expected CPI, tomorrows PPI will be telling.
If we get a hot PPI and hot Initial Jobless claims number expect markets to sell off.

GBPUSD Long idea for the coming weeksLooking on the charts, im going to aim for a long position on GBPUSD.
On the 4hour chart, previous wicks rejecting more downside as it looks.
Also we are in a nice orderblock area and resistance area
Going for a buy limit around 1.25785
Stoploss: 1.25451 (just below the last longest 4h previous wick)
TP1: 1.27089
TP2: 1.28650
TP3: 1.29090
If it would fall below that 4h long wick(which is touching the bottom of the purple zone) then im not interested anymore in a long position.
