So I recorded this last night, and it's been sitting there while the Qs gap up this morning. My pick of the week was QQQ. And I'm sure a lot of you are thinking, Voz, why would you pick this? Because yesterday looked awful. We dropped seven points, and there was no news to go lower, nothing at all, and on the 5-minute chart you'd swear we got taken to the woodshed. I picked it bullish anyway. Now, this morning, CPI comes in tame, CoreWeave and Super Micro blow out their numbers, and everybody's got a reason why the Qs are ripping higher. None of that was around last night when I recorded; I just had the pattern on the day chart. It's all in the video: what the pattern is, why it reads bullish instead of broken, and the levels I'm watching from here. One of them already hit

SPY and the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) or Qs as I like to call them…sometimes give me opposite reads. Bullish over here, bearish over there, both at once, and I traded them both. Everybody assumes that can't happen. You get a call setup in SPY, so obviously you've got the same thing in the Qs, because they move together, right? Sometimes the direction's different. The Qs don't own a single bank. Not one. The Nasdaq-100 throws financials out by rule, which means JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are all sitting outside the fund. SPY carries about 14% financials. So on a morning when the banks are ripping and tech is taking a nap, SPY has an engine running that the Qs simply don't have. Those two charts are not going to tell you the same story, and there's nothing mysterious about why. It goes the other way too.

One of my members, Nina, asked me about a loss last week and I want to walk through it because I think it happens to a lot of traders. The setup was great. It was a perfect entry, the level was narrow, and I coudn’t see anything wrong with it. But it still went red because news came out right around eleven o'clock and just sucked all the momentum out of the tape. That happens. You can't fight news, it's going to get you here and there and there's nothing to do about that one. But it got me thinking about what you can control, because there's a thing I look at on every single entry and I don't think enough people are looking at it.   It's the wick. Quick refresher for anybody who needs it. Every candle has a body, which is where price opened and closed, and
