Hey Trader,
Trusting the Ultimate Builder in Your Trading Journey
As traders, we often think of ourselves as builders—constructing strategies, analyzing markets, and shaping our financial futures.
But it's important to remember that the true foundation of everything, including our success, lies in God's hands.
No matter the challenges or triumphs you face in the markets, trust in the One who builds all things.
Let Him be your cornerstone, guiding you through every trade with confidence and faith.
Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,
Anthony Speciale
$10.5K Trading Crude Oil From Session Highs Through RVWAP Into Session VWAP
In today’s fast-paced trading environment, there’s often a misconception that success comes from constant activity, endless trades, and a focus on quantity over quality.
However, for seasoned traders, the key to long-term profitability is often rooted in simplicity and discipline.
In this blog post, I’m going to walk you through how I traded the market this morning, showing you the approach I take and why it may resonate with traders looking for consistency rather than chaos.
Why I Create These Videos
Before diving into the strategy, let me clarify why I even create these videos in the first place.
The goal isn't to push products or services on you—I'm NOT a hard-sell kind of guy.
The real reason is simple: I want to provide value and give retail traders an honest look at how I trade, in hopes that it might help someone on their journey.
My approach to trading might align with how you aspire to trade, and if it does, great. If not, that's totally fine too.
I’m not here to bombard you with sales pitches, constant emails, or relentless follow-ups.
My clients join me because they see value in what I offer, not because they’re pushed into something they don’t need.
I genuinely care about the traders I work with, and the relationships I build with them are real—I know their names, their stories, and what drives them.
That’s how I prefer to work, and if that resonates with you, I encourage you to keep reading.
Trading for Freedom
The reason I got into trading in the first place is simple: FREEDOM. Unlike traditional businesses, trading doesn't require employees, customers, or complex infrastructure.
With the right knowledge, capital, and strategy, I can generate income without relying on anyone else.
It’s a business model that rewards self-reliance, and it’s why trading is my favorite business of all the ventures I've run throughout my career.
Trading can offer that, but it requires a disciplined, patient approach—not the frantic, all-day trading many believe is necessary.
Today’s Trade Breakdown
Let’s get into the specifics of how I approached the market today. The trade was simple, straightforward, and, most importantly, based on clear evidence. Here’s how it unfolded:
Higher Timeframe Resistance: This morning, the market tested a key higher timeframe resistance level. Immediately, we saw a rejection, a signal that the bulls didn’t have the strength to push higher.
Pullback to VWAP: After making the session high, the market pulled back to the session’s VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), which often serves as an important level for retracement. When price returned to a predetermined significant level, this set up a high-probability trade opportunity.
Short Entry: I entered a short position around 68.45, which I identified as a prime area due to the market's inability to break higher. The trade was calculated and based on strong technical evidence.
Target and Exit: My profit target was 68.15, with a little slippage resulting in a fill at 68.10. This trade was executed in a precise manner, focusing on capitalizing on a clear setup. The market moved in my favor, and I closed the trade, satisfied with the outcome.
Why One Trade is Enough
One of the most common mistakes I see among retail traders is the urge to overtrade.
Trading all day is unnecessary, and frankly, it can lead to reckless decision-making. My philosophy is to take one or two high-quality trades and then step away.
In today’s trade, I had no reason to take additional trades after my initial setup worked out.
I made a solid return on a calculated risk, and I walked away with my gains.
This kind of discipline is essential if you want to avoid the pitfalls of overtrading, which can erode your profits.
Evidence-Based Trading
Inside this blog post, you’ll see the detailed analysis and charts that guided my decision-making today.
My clients who were following along heard me state my intentions in real-time, explaining exactly what I was looking for: a push through the RVWAP into the session’s VWAP.
Within 15 minutes of making that statement, the market did exactly that, validating my analysis and allowing me to exit the trade with a healthy profit.
Why I Do This
I create these blog posts and videos not because I have to, but because I genuinely enjoy helping other traders.
Along my own journey, I wish I had access to the kind of transparent, no-fluff content that I now aim to provide.
If sharing my trades and strategies helps even one person become a better trader, it’s worth it to me.
Of course, I do offer services and products for those who want to take their trading to the next level, but there’s no pressure.
If you find value in what I share and want to explore those options, I’m happy to have that conversation with you. If not, that’s perfectly fine too.
My goal is to provide value, not to hard-sell anyone into something they don’t need.
Today’s trade was a textbook example of how simplicity and discipline lead to success.
I identified a clear setup, executed the trade, and walked away once my profit target was hit. There was no need for multiple trades or unnecessary risk.
If you’re a retail trader looking to improve your strategy, I encourage you to focus on quality over quantity.
Waiting for the right opportunities and acting with discipline is what separates successful traders from the rest.
Whether you’re just starting your trading journey or looking to refine your skills, I’m here to help however I can.
Stay informed, stay focused and stay disciplined ! ! !

God bless, and have a wonderful day!
