When the market starts breaking down—gap down after gap down, volume surging, panic selling taking over—what do you do? Panic and exit? Or stay ready for the opportunity? Capitulation drives price action to the extreme. It is where most traders give up—but also where some of the market’s most... powerful opportunities can emerge. The goal is not to guess the bottom. The real edge comes from reading the signals, following a clear framework, and managing risk with discipline. I recently sat down with Martin Luk Martin Luk , USIC US$20,000 Stock Division Champion, to exchange perspectives on how we approach Parabolic Long and Parabolic Short setups in extreme market conditions, and the decision-making behind each trade. When the market loses control again, will fear take over? Or will you already have a plan?show more

If you invest $1,000 in a stock, you can lose $1,000. But if you’re right, you can make $5,000, $10,000, or $20,000. In the stock market, you don’t need to be right all the time to win. What matters is this: when you find a solid company, don’t panic sell when the stock crashes. If possible, buy more — and most importantly, don’t sell. Selling great companies too early is a terrible mistake. 90% of success in the stock market is patience and the ability to not panic. Most of the time, you don’t need to do anything. Just wait

Most traders freeze after three consecutive gap-down days. Martin Luk -- the 2025 U.S. Investing Champion who returned +969% -- was begging for one more. He watched the market hit panic mode, spotted TQQ at 20% below the hourly EMA, and bought the reversal off one-minute opening range highs. His best trade of the entire year came from the worst week. The bottom doesn't announce itself. It disgusts you into showing up.

Qullamaggie on Great Times to See What Stocks Hold Up “This is a great time to find the strongest stocks — the ones that are not affected by the overall market. So if you have a market pullback and you have a bunch of stocks that are not going down, guess what they will do when the market stops going down. And even starts going higher. Those stocks will fly.”

The biggest bet that I am taking is in the Hyperliquid Ecosystem as HIP-3 takes over and disrupts the financial market: $PURR You need to ask hard questions when you are working through an investment thesis and this is exactly what we did in the livestream today. We went through all of the most significant risks and WHY $PURR is an exceptional opportunity in spite of the short-term price action We sat down with the CEO of $PURR to reanchor the market to WHAT is happening, WHY it matters, and HOW to capitalize on it

Easy money is a cure all, until it’s not. It’s hard to know when you have to put on the brakes and when things might pop. Today, the stock market is at its peak, gold is through the roof, and the wealth gap continues to increase. And in terms of what comes next, it looks like we’re going to see a significant easing of monetary policy along with less regulation. I recently sat down with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin to discuss all of this and more. You can find the full video at the link in the comments.

A tale of two cities. The City Of Portland and the city of Gresham border each other with an invisible line. You don’t need a line because all you have to do is look for when the trash stops or starts to know where you are. It all comes down to the approach.

I started winning a lot more trades when I realized waiting is part of the strategy. Most of my trading session is spent waiting. - Wait for price to reach my zone - Wait for the liquidity sweep - Wait for the market shift Only when everything lines up with my plan do I think about taking a trade. None of those things are in my control. I can't make price move faster. I can't force a setup to appear. All I can do is wait until the market gives me what I'm looking for. Some days I wait for hours to take one position. Some days I don't take one at all. I'm completely fine with that. The market will always give you another opportunity tomorrow. And the less pressure I put on myself to find trades, the better my decisions become. The money you're looking for comes from the trades you have the discipline to wait for.

In a bull market, everyone's a genius VC… New funds post 15x paper returns. But it has absolutely nothing to do with skill; it’s just the right conditions. Real VCs make their money in a down market. Jason's framework, “the 4 Ds of venture:” Deal flow, Decision-making, Doubling down, and Distributions. The first two are easy. The last two are brutally hard. But that’s where funds live or die.

I had to go back and find the last interview Omar Berrada (#MUFC CEO) did with Andy Mitten because some people have suddenly convinced themselves that Manchester United have no clue what they're doing. When asked about the plan for 2026, Berrada said: "I think we are going to replicate what we did last year in some sense. You always go into the window, but you don't know how you will come out of it. You have to be prepared and have a clear plan. There are opportunities that will come later in the window that aren't there when you are going into it, so you have to be prepared, be flexible, and have a clear plan. But we will always do it within our terms. It's very important we don't let the market or the agents dictate what we should be doing." To break it down: Think of it like mathematics. Your teacher tells you that bearing and distance will be on the exam. That doesn't mean you memorize every bearing question you can find. The smarter approach is to understand the formula and the method. Once you know that, you can solve whatever variation appears. It's the same with the transfer market. Knowing you need to improve the midfield doesn't mean you panic and buy the first hyped player available. It means you know the profile you want, understand the market, and have a strategy. If things changes or some opportunities arrives, as they always do, you adapt without looking desperate or getting dictated to by clubs and agents. That is exactly what United appear to be doing. I hope this help! #mufc #transfer

“There was never any talk of the risk.” Peter Schiff is just lying at this point. The risk of $STRC was always obvious: it is preferred equity issued by a Bitcoin Treasury Company. Saylor said it clearly: if Bitcoin goes down long term or forever, that is the risk. And what are we seeing now? Bitcoin under pressure. Liquidity rotated into AI and IPOs. Maximum fear. STRC down. That is not some hidden scandal. That is risk premium repricing. Strategy does not magically control STRC’s market price. They can adjust the dividend rate, but the market prices the risk of Bitcoin and Strategy’s ability to keep paying dividends. And when Bitcoin starts going up again, what do you think happens? The same risk premium reprices in the other direction. If you buy preferred equity in a Bitcoin company, you are making one core assumption: Bitcoin goes up over the long term. That was never hidden.

Qullamaggie on the Importance of Leading Stocks “And like people post setups all the time on my stream. People post setups all the time, and this is the hard part — identifying a really good setup versus something that’s random and mediocre. Because that’s gonna also reflect on your results. If you trade the random setups, your results are gonna be random too. You want to find the outlier stocks. You want to see if it has relative strength. The best time to trade this breakout method is after a pullback in the markets. You want to see the stocks that held up the most — the ones that had big moves previously and held up the most. And if you master this setup, if you trade this setup coming out of a small correction, like say a 5-10 or 15% correction in the overall indices, that’s almost like free money for this type of setup. Because if you can identify the stocks that held up the most during the correction — that maybe went down initially but then stopped going down as the correction went on, and actually started building higher lows — that’s telling you something. If you have a stock that’s gone up a lot, and then it stops going down when the market goes down, you know the stock is trying to tell you something. And that’s what leading stocks do. Like every bull market, this is obviously the case. I’m gonna talk more about it later. You obviously need an up-trending or sideways market to trade this method. You have leading stocks — the stocks that go up the most and are the most liquid. And those are really the stocks you want to trade. They’re mostly mid and large caps, but even a small cap can be a leading stock. Those are really the stocks that don’t go down when the market goes down. It’s like you try to push a tennis ball underwater — it just pops back up. And those are the type of stocks you want to find when trading this method.”

With $5M+ in prop firm payouts, Okala shares his view on trading most traders might not agree with: There is no “max trades per day” rule. “If you’re hot… step on the gas.” That’s how he approaches the market. Because in his view, the market doesn’t reward restraint… It rewards timing and execution. But here’s where it gets uncomfortable: Most traders aren’t losing because they trade too much… They’re losing because they trade the same way, when conditions completely change. They press when the market is dead. They force when structure disappears. They keep clicking… just to feel in control. That’s not trading. That’s reacting. And that’s where overtrading actually lives. Not in the number of trades… But in the inability to step back when your edge is no longer there. So maybe the question isn’t: “How many trades should you take?” It’s: Can you recognise when you’re in sync with the market… and when you’re not? Because one makes you money. The other gives it all back. Do you agree with this approach… or not? Watch the full episode — and see exactly how he executes (Live). 👇

$BTC Thing is, people tend to believe in what they want to believe Many say about bottom being in and BTC is pumping rn when we are just in a default choppy, exhausting bearish market Cause bear market is not just going down We swept downside liquidity, now we'll do the same with the overhead cluster after Maybe we even fill that $86K CME gap before going down to $60K and hit the actual bottom Most get shaken out emotionally or financially before the actual move arrives Keep that in mind

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: When asked about how 3:15 PM cutoffs and closing auction price spreads are disrupting his algorithmic hedging and intraday risk management, with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) confirming Closing Auction Session (CAS) is permanent, Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities, says, "...If we go through with the CAS-related issues which are giving some kind of uneasiness for option traders... this time option traders, they are mainly affected. The reason is that between this time gap, the prices change a lot, and because of that, most of the time on the day of expiry, especially on the day of expiry, it actually impacts option traders, those who are like writers. Broadly, we are of the view that at present SEBI is holding a lot of meetings with brokers, traders, algo traders, and they are designing their framework... they are ready to make changes as per the difficulties which traders are facing... broadly, I am of the view that it may take some time, but in the next maybe 1-2 months, definitely something will come out concrete, and based on that, again, we can see normalisation in the market... till then, option traders, especially writers or those who are using algorithms, they are trying to stay away from the market because of which volatility has also come down sharply in the market. You can see the market is falling gradually, but at the same time, intraday volatility is very low. Even if we consider Volatility Index (VIX), India's VIX index, that is also close to 11 or maybe 11.5 sort of levels, which is the lowest... it means that option traders are not active in this market. That is why I am of the view that it will take some time to come to normalcy. But eventually, definitely, we will come out with something that will help traders, option traders, I mean to say, in terms of managing their risk. It's not that they can increase their volume and all because our government is primarily focusing on controlling this particular speculative activity... they are trying to control that, and maybe because of that, I think they will come out with something which is very balanced."

Most people have a market opinion. “BTC is about to move.” “ETH is going down.” “This team is winning.” Usually, you just say it, argue about it for a while, and wait to see what happens. PUNCH gives you a way to actually act on that prediction. It’s a prediction market where you can take a position on what you think will happen next. For crypto, you can trade Up or Down on BTC in short rounds, including 1-minute markets. But it doesn’t stop at crypto. You can also find markets around sports, stocks, commodities, politics, culture and other real-world events. The interesting part of prediction markets is that you can also change your position before the final result. If you buy a Share and its price moves in your favor, you can sell it before the market settles instead of waiting until the event ends. And if you’re not ready to put money in, PUNCH has POINT, which lets you explore the experience without depositing. So the process is pretty straightforward: Have a view → find the market → make your call → watch it play out. Because saying “I knew it” after the result is easy. The real test is making the call before it happens. And honestly, I have enough opinions to put this to the test 😂

$SPY Pullback, Correction… or Crash? I break down how the market behaves in each of these scenarios and more importantly, which one we’re actually in right now. Most people are guessing. I’m following a clear path based on price action and structure. Right now I’m 100% cash, waiting for the setup that gives the best risk/reward instead of getting chopped up in these swings. The goal isn’t to be active it’s to be positioned when the real opportunity shows up.

The markets and Trump have a codependent relationship. 👇🏼 Think JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette arguing in the park. They can’t stop watching each other. Trump watches the market. The market watches Trump. That’s the whole dynamic. So when you ask Mike Novogratz whether the geopolitical outcome of this war is going to be influenced by market pressure? Yes. Absolutely yes. This comes down to how much pain Trump can take before he declares victory. And he can declare victory tomorrow if he wants to. That’s the thing about Trump — the off-ramp is always available. He just has to take it. The Strait reopens. France and the U.S. Navy escort the tankers through. We do the insurance backstop. Oil prices come down. All of that is already in motion. All of that is designed to create the conditions for de-escalation. But the oil doesn’t really flow until you end hostilities. That’s the bottom line. Novo makes a bold claim: The war will broadly be over within a week. Trump will declare victory. The market will rally. And everyone will act like that was the plan all along. Watch the market. It’ll tell you everything.
