Hey Trader,
Aligning Your Actions with Integrity in Your Trading Journey
I hope this email finds you well. As you continue to navigate the complexities of trading, I wanted to share a verse that speaks to the importance of integrity and ethical conduct:
"Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong."
Isaiah 1:16
In the world of trading, where every decision can have significant consequences, it's crucial to maintain a commitment to doing what is right. This verse encourages us to reflect on our actions, to cleanse ourselves of any unethical practices, and to commit to a path of integrity. Success built on honesty and righteousness is the kind that endures.
Let this verse inspire you to approach your trading journey with a clear conscience and a strong ethical foundation. By aligning your actions with integrity, you not only build a reputation you can be proud of but also create a lasting impact that goes beyond short-term gains.

Markets TUMBLE: Nasdaq 1280+ Ticks, S&P 330+ Ticks, Gold 280+ Ticks
Welcome, traders! Anthony here from Speciale Analysis, and today, I’m excited to walk you through the trade I executed this morning.
We’re going to dissect how we identified and capitalized on significant trade opportunities across the NASDAQ, S&P, and Gold futures in our daily live futures analysis room as well.
It was a highly productive morning with some predictable pushes to the downside, and I’m eager to share the details with you.
Breaking Down the Trade: A $5,100 Win Before 9 AM
Let’s start with the trade I personally took earlier today. At 7:05 AM, I noticed a key opportunity on Crude Oil futures. The price had pushed back up into a level just slightly above the prior significant low—a spot that I identified as ideal for getting short.
I entered the trade at 72.29 with a tiny bit of slippage. My strategy was clear: as long as the price didn’t close back above this level, I was comfortable staying in the trade.
Here’s how the trade played out:
Initial Short Entry: 72.29 with 20 Contracts
First Profit: Covered 10 contracts at 72.05, capturing a $2,400 profit.
Second Profit: Covered 5 contracts at 71.95 for an additional $1,700.
Stop Out: The remaining 5 contracts were stopped out at 72.09, netting another $1,000.
Total GAIN for this trade was $5,100.00, minus fees and brokerage costs.
My final target was around 71.40, and while we haven’t hit that level yet, the trade still delivered solid returns.
The key takeaway?
I followed my trade plan, which allowed me to profit while managing risk effectively.
Inside the Live Futures Room: Three Big Wins
Now, let’s shift focus to the broader market analysis and the trades our team executed inside the live futures room.
NASDAQ Futures:We anticipated a shorting opportunity as the price pushed back into prior lows. The market responded as expected, and within 40 minutes, we saw a drop of over 1,280 ticks. This move was driven by a calculated pullback into a pivot with strong two-timeframe momentum—an ideal setup that delivered significant profits.
S&P Futures:Similarly, the S&P futures performed beautifully. We identified a hold at the 13 EMA and the prior lows, which suggested a further sell-off. The market pushed through stacked pivots, resulting in a drop of just over 330 ticks. This was another calculated move that aligned with our morning analysis, providing excellent trading opportunities.
Gold Futures:Gold also delivered a notable move. After pulling back to the 13 EMA and a key pivot, we saw a drop of over 280 ticks. Again, this was all analyzed and provided in real time, allowing traders in the room to capitalize on the morning’s bearish momentum across multiple markets.
Why It Worked: Sticking to the Plan
What made today’s trading so successful was our disciplined approach. Each trade was based on clear, evidence-driven analysis.
Whether it was my early morning NASDAQ trade or the broader market moves in the live room, the strategy remained the same: identify low-risk, high-probability setups, manage risk, and take profits when the market presents the opportunity.
The markets remain under pressure, and we’re keeping a close eye on the NASDAQ, S&P, and Gold for further downside potential.
With global markets, particularly in Europe and Asia, also experiencing significant sell-offs, the bearish trend could continue.
However, as always, our focus will remain on following the evidence and executing our trades with discipline.

Understanding Key Market Reversals: A Deep Dive into the USO ETF
Anthony Speciale here with Hawkeye Traders, I hope you're having a great one!
Welcome to today’s analysis, where I’ll be breaking down a significant trade we’ve been monitoring in the United States Oil Fund (USO) ETF.
As retail traders, understanding the dynamics of price action and volume is critical to spotting potential market reversals.
Today, I’m going to show you a straightforward method to identify these key turning points using channel structures and volume analysis.
The Setup: Recognizing Lower Highs
In my approach to trading, I place great emphasis on channel structures and key levels.
It’s a technique I was trained on, and it remains a cornerstone of how I interpret market movements, whether on a large scale or a more granular level.
Recently, we’ve been observing the USO ETF closely, noting the formation of lower highs—a clear indication that the market is trending downward.
This pattern was particularly evident as we plotted a descending trend line, marking a consistent series of lower highs.
This trend was a strong confirmation for us that the market was likely to continue its downward trajectory. However, it wasn’t just the trend line that caught our attention.
The Role of Volume at Key Levels
As price approached the lower boundary of this channel, we saw an aggressive gap higher, which pushed the price into the upper range of the channel structure.
However, instead of a continuation higher, the market quickly reversed, with the price failing to break through the resistance level.
This immediate failure, right at a key resistance point, was a clear signal.
High buying volume into resistance followed by an abrupt reversal is a classic setup for a significant move in the opposite direction.
In this case, it led to a sharp gap down, where we’ve now seen USO decline by approximately 7.35%.
Why This Matters: Interpreting Volume and Price Action
The key takeaway from this analysis isn’t just the profit potential from the move itself.
This understanding allows us to anticipate potential reversals and align our trades accordingly.
Most traders, especially those newer to the market, rely heavily on lagging indicators, waiting for a crossover or a signal to buy or sell.
But these signals often come too late. Volume is the ONLY leading indicator of intent.
Focusing on where high volume intersects with key levels of support or resistance, we can identify the market’s intentions—whether it’s poised for a continuation or a reversal.
The Game Changer: Volume Indicators
Ultimately, the market is driven by one fundamental factor: the aggressive intention of buyers or sellers.
To succeed, you must be able to identify who the aggressor is and understand when and why they are taking action. This is where volume indicators become indispensable.
I want to help you grasp this concept in more detail, which is why I’m inviting you to join an upcoming training webinar.
In this session, we’ll cover a range of topics including stocks, futures, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
Whether you’re into scalping, day trading, swing trading, or position trading, this webinar will delve into the relationship between volume and price action—giving you the tools to put the odds in your favor.
Mastering Volume Analysis
During the webinar, I’ll also guide you through installing these essential indicators on your trading platform, whether it’s TradeStation, TradingView, NinjaTrader, or MetaTrader.
Plus, you’ll gain access to the Hawkeye Volume Mastery Series, a comprehensive resource designed to deepen your understanding of this critical aspect of trading.
