Risk on…Risk off. Oil up…Oil down. VIX pumping…VIX crashing. While every trader on social media turned into an overnight Middle East expert this week, I just kept following my zones. Two setups this morning. One if the market failed. Another if it ripped. Most traders see that and think I'm being indecisive. I see trigger points. Whichever hits first, I trade. The other becomes irrelevant. I'm not trying to predict what happens next in the Middle East. I'm watching where price action tells me the market wants to go. This morning, the market looked weak heading into the session. But right before it hit my put zone, it reversed hard. As it reversed, we tagged the call zone target.

But when you've been reading charts long enough, you

You know, the executive "porta potty" as I call them. Super successful, wealthy career, flies in to fix companies when they're in trouble. Nothing unusual about that. These guys are everywhere. But then he started listing the companies he's been working with lately, and one name made me pause: one of the MAG7 companies. "Really?" I asked. "How often are you there?" "Every week," he said casually, like it was no big deal. "Business has been really picking up. I'm really busy." That's when something clicked. Why the hell does a MAG7 company need a crisis consultant flying in weekly? We're talking about one of the most sophisticated tech companies on the planet. They've got armies
