Hey Trader,
Finding Courage and Confidence in Your Trading Journey
I hope this email finds you well. As you continue to navigate the ups and downs of trading, I wanted to share a verse that offers encouragement and reassurance:
"I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears."
Psalm 34:4
In the ever-changing world of trading, it's natural to experience moments of doubt and fear.
This verse reminds us that when we seek guidance and support from the Lord, we can find the courage to overcome our fears and move forward with confidence.
Knowing that you are not alone in your journey brings a sense of peace and empowerment.
Let this verse inspire you to approach your trading journey with renewed confidence.
When fear or uncertainty arises, remember to seek guidance and trust that you will be delivered from those challenges.
Through faith, you can navigate the markets with a steady hand and calm heart.
Wishing you courage, confidence, and success in all your trading endeavors!

The Higher Timeframe Bias Prevails
Anthony here from Special Analysis, and I hope you're all set for a fantastic weekend.
Today, I want to share some insights into a crude oil trade I executed this morning—a trade that adhered strictly to my plan, paid out well, and set the tone for a strong finish to the week.
Breaking Down the Trade
This morning at 7:15 AM, I noticed a reset of the overnight low.
After some back-and-forth price action, I saw an opportunity that aligned with my trading strategy and I entered the market short at 76.35.
My approach was to manage the position actively and take profits at key levels as the market moved in my favor.
Here's how it played out:
Initial Entry w/ 20 Contracts: 76.35, entry stop set at 76.50
First Profit Target: 76.23 (50% of the position, advance stop to entry) +$1200
Second Profit Target: 75.97 (25% of the position, advance stop to 76.05) +$1900
Final Exit: 75.15 (remaining 25% of the position) +$6000
GAIN: $9,100 - Fees
While the market continued lower after I exited, I was perfectly content with my trade.
Why? Because I executed my plan flawlessly, took profits aggressively, and protected myself with a strategic stop on the remaining position.
Avoiding the Trap of FOMO
One of the biggest challenges many traders face is the fear of missing out (FOMO).
It’s easy to look at the market’s continued movement and think, "If only I had held on longer..." But in reality, trading isn't about catching every possible point.
It's about executing your strategy, managing risk, and being content with your results—whether the market gives you more opportunities or not.
Today, I came to the market with a clear plan, executed it, and walked away satisfied.
There’s no room for regret in trading, especially when you know you followed your process.
The Importance of Discipline
Discipline is at the core of successful trading. It’s not about getting emotionally attached to every trade but about being consistent in your approach.
Some days will be fantastic, some will be challenging, and others will be somewhere in between. What matters is that you stick to your plan and manage your risk effectively.
For me, today was a win-win. I placed one trade, managed it well, and then spent the rest of the morning helping my clients navigate the market. It was a productive and rewarding day, both financially and in terms of my commitment to my clients.
Looking Ahead
As I wrap up this week, I’m content with how things played out. My batting average has been solid, with only one full stop-out this week. The market has been cooperative, and I've ensured that every trade was based on strong evidence.
Remember, trading is a cumulative process. It’s not about what you make in one day but about consistently following your plan day after day, week after week.
The key to long-term success is discipline—sticking to your strategy and remaining emotionless in your execution.

Hey Trader,
Finding Joy and Resilience in Every Season of Your Trading Journey
I hope this email finds you well. As you continue to navigate the unpredictable world of trading, I wanted to share a verse that speaks to resilience and unwavering faith:
"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior."
Habakkuk 3:17-18
In trading, as in life, there are times when results don’t align with our expectations.
The market may not yield the returns we hoped for, and setbacks can feel overwhelming.
This verse reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can find joy and strength by placing our trust in something greater than our circumstances.
Let this verse inspire you to maintain a resilient spirit in your trading journey.
Even when the market doesn’t bear fruit, remember that your joy and strength come from a deeper source.
Embrace the challenges with faith and determination, knowing that your inner joy is not dependent on external outcomes.
Wishing you resilience, joy, and success in all your trading endeavors!

Volume Climax Triggers Reversal Into Closing Bell
I’m Anthony from Hawkeye Traders, and today I want to share with you a remarkable trade taken by a good friend of mine who is a fellow Hawkeye user.
Although I can’t take credit for this one, I believe it provides a perfect example of how understanding the relationship between volume and price action can lead to exceptional trading results.
The Trade Breakdown
The trade in question was on a 3-minute chart of Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures.
What caught my friend’s eye—and ultimately led to his successful trade—was the volume climax that occurred leading into the 2:30 PM close of the crude oil session.
This volume surge, accompanied by a big engulfing bar, signaled a potential reversal, and my friend acted on it.
He entered the trade after spotting the volume climax and the subsequent engulfing bar, and exited before the closing bell.
The trade played out beautifully, with price reversing just as the volume indicated it might.
Why This Trade Worked
The success of this trade boils down to one key factor: understanding the relationship between volume and price action.
My friend recognized the significance of the volume climax and knew that such a large influx of selling volume often precedes a market reversal.
By understanding this, he was able to confidently enter and exit the trade with precision.
This is a prime example of how mastering the interaction between volume and price action can lead to consistent and profitable trades.
It’s not just about spotting opportunities—it’s about understanding the underlying market dynamics that drive those opportunities.
Learning the Relationship Between Volume and Price Action
If this concept is new to you, or if you’re still trying to get a handle on it, I want to invite you to join me for a live training webinar.
In this session, we’ll dive deep into the relationship between volume and price action.
I’ll show you how to identify key moments in the market where this relationship can tip the odds in your favor.
Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or position trader—whether you trade stocks, futures, Forex, cryptocurrencies, or options—understanding this relationship is crucial. It’s a universal principle that applies across all markets and timeframes.
