The awesome thing about trading is that you are your own boss. Which means you clock in and out whenever you feel like. And if you know me, I like to keep my Friday’s short. So instead of feeding you a chart or setup today… (Honestly, the market's been boring this week anyway…) I'm gonna give you different advice: GO OUT AND HAVE SOME FUN THIS WEEKEND. Heck, I’ve already started… (I’m already checked out) Living proof that you don't need to grind 24/7 to win at this game. Speaking of which… If you're looking for a solid Friday drink… Let me introduce you to the greyhound. Vodka. Grapefruit juice. Ice. Simple. Refreshing. And it tastes like freedom.

Okay so I have a running joke with my members that I don't like trading oil. The reason is that oil barely cares what the chart says. You can find a gorgeous technical setup, feel great about it, and then wake up to some geopolitical thing that sends the whole sector one way or the other and none of your levels matter anymore. So I mostly leave it alone. Except this one keeps getting requested, it's trending, and when I finally pulled it up I understood why.
