Hey Gamers!
Usually when we hit a record high, which we did, we will hit another record high again.
So I’m gonna get into some calls. I’m feeling froggy.
That’s exactly what I told my Trade to Close community today as SPY kissed new highs.
While most traders freeze up at record levels – afraid of buying the top – I was loading up on 658 calls at 20 cents each.
Why? Because I’ve seen this movie before.
Here’s what the textbooks won’t teach you: when markets break to new intraday highs, they usually push higher into the close.
It’s not some mystical market wisdom – it’s pattern recognition from watching thousands of sessions.
The algos know it. The institutions know it. But retail traders? They’re sitting on their hands, paralyzed by the fear of buying at “the top.”
Meanwhile, I’m sitting here with Jameson (my lucky trading cat) on my lap during a thunderstorm – you know how cats get – watching my 658 calls go from 20 cents to 40 cents in minutes. That’s a clean 100% gain while everyone else was waiting for “confirmation.”
Listen, “feeling froggy” isn’t some cute trader slang. It’s what happens when you’ve been doing this long enough to trust your gut when all the pieces align.
Look, I could sit here and bore you with fibonacci levels and bombshell detectors all day. And yes, the 13% fib held beautifully and my detector was screaming bullish. But honestly? That’s just confirmation for what I already felt in my bones.
Most traders see record highs and think “danger.” I see them and think “finally, some real momentum.”
I told the room, “I’ll play small to start and then get from there.” Because even when you’re feeling froggy, you don’t bet the farm on the first hop.
That’s the difference between confidence and stupidity.
But when SPY hit that record and held above my levels? Game on.
You know what’s funny?
I’m sitting here during a literal thunderstorm, Jameson’s freaking out (he hates storms), and I’m casually banking 100% gains while half of Twitter is paralyzed by “market top” fear.
“Hopefully those do something for me,” I said when I entered. But I wasn’t really hoping.
I was calculating.
When you’ve watched this pattern play out hundreds of times, it stops feeling like gambling and starts feeling like… well, like taking candy from babies who are too scared to reach for it.
The trade hit my 658 target so fast I barely had time to process it. “Thank you. Six fifty eight. Yay. Me, trader,” I celebrated with my community.
And you know what? I’m not embarrassed about celebrating wins. Too many traders act like making money is some solemn duty. Screw that. When you nail a call, especially one everyone else was too scared to make, you celebrate.
Speaking of celebrating – I was literally browsing Chanel bags on The RealReal during today’s session. Mark was laughing at me, but here’s the thing: I only treat myself when we crush it for our Trade to Close members.
That’s when I feel like I’ve earned it. When I call a move, execute it perfectly, and help 500 people in our community make money? Yeah, that coral Gabriel backpack is going in my cart.
Some people think that’s shallow. I think it’s honest.
Trading isn’t just about the money – it’s about proving you can read the market when others can’t. And when you’re right? You should absolutely enjoy the moment.
Want to know the difference between traders who profit from record highs and those who watch from the sidelines?
The profitable ones understand that markets break records because they have momentum, not despite it.
Today was textbook.
Record high, fibonacci support, bullish signals, and the guts to act on all of it. While everyone else was wringing their hands about “buying the top,” I was already counting my gains.
The next time SPY kisses new highs, remember this: the market isn’t asking for your permission to go higher.
It’s giving you an invitation to come along for the ride.
The question is: will you be feeling froggy enough to accept it?
Rock on, Gamers!
