“I realize that I need to empower my mindset when it comes to short positions. For a long time, I’ve unconsciously associated shorting the market with something negative — almost like betting against optimism or progress.
But I know that’s just emotion. A short is simply a trade, a strategy. It doesn’t mean I’m against anything — not America, not people, not hope. It’s just price movement.
Especially now, when the world is divided between economic signals and geopolitical tensions, it’s even more important to remain neutral and logical. I can no longer allow flags, speeches, or headlines to cloud what the chart is clearly showing me.
Sometimes, the best move is short. And sometimes, it’s the only smart move. If I ignore it, I’m not protecting anything — I’m just ignoring reality.”
Yesterday was also a particularly challenging day due to the Federal Reserve decision — volatility was extremely high, and emotions were all over the place. Despite that, I stayed focused, respected my plan, and ended the day with a $5,000 profit. It reminded me that even in chaotic moments, discipline and structure win. I’m proud of that step forward.
I’m excited, but I need serenity and calm. Nothing changes for me — this is just big news.
My work is being recognized. My ideas, and everything I’ve done over the past two years, working in the dark, 12 to 14 hours a day — sometimes even more — because I had nightmares from not finding the goal.
But this is the moment.
I know many people will say it’s just luck. But, like I always say: work, work, and when I fall… I always wake up stronger.

2025-05-12 – 2025-05-17: Too easy… but I didn’t like it. I was thinking about Israel. Normally, the market is controlled by big banks, and I believe some of the most powerful people are Jewish. But when I saw the most powerful billionaire attending that meeting last week, I knew: never stay in a short position. I always wait for the market — when my signals say “buy,” I buy. Remember: money has no ethics or morality.
Maybe this is the catalyst for the next Elliott Wave.
Today (2025-05-19), On the other hand, the headline is: USA credit rating at AA, not everything is positive — the 30-year bond yield is too high. A perfect storm might be coming… for now Trump’s he wants visit China…
There were three key players manipulating the market. The Secretary spoke, and although the discussion was ugly, the market initially went up. The problem was Trump — he delayed and appeared late in front of the media, on purpose, to overlap with Powell. This move was clearly meant to pressure the Fed chairman. The market fell sharply due to his stubborn stance on tariffs with China.
However, the market recovered once Powell began to speak. As always, he was honest, solid in his statements, and showed a longer-term vision.
Trading on days like this is always complicated for me. I need a broader perspective — understanding who the key actors are and what they want to express. Normally, when the U.S. President speaks, it’s a good time to buy. But yesterday, the market preferred Fed Chair Powell.
Sometimes I think it’s better not to trade on days like this. But I’m curious — and the only way to learn is by trading. I lost $14,000 at first, but in the end, I closed the day with a $3,200 profit.
The most important thing is to win the game of the day.
