Hi everyone, after 6 years of anonymity, here I am. Brando in the flesh. I’m a day trader with 14 years of experience. I started with $6000 and after many ups and downs I ended up living the life of my dreams. Here’s my story below. 👇 I grew up on the east coast near Boston. My Mom and Dad were war refugees from Vietnam. They came to the United States on a small boat 35 years ago in search of a better life. They did their best to raise me and offer the best life they could when I was growing up. I’ve lived a very normal and quiet life until I was 19 years old. This is when I discovered the stock market. One day,I looked at the company American Apparel and the stock price in the library and saw the potential of how much money could be made if I bought at a certain price and sold at a higher one. A friend of mine introduced me to options shortly after and the rest was history. I graduated from College and continued my journey towards becoming a profitable trader. The first 3 years are BY FAR the hardest. The number of strategies, indicators, stocks, and education available was a sensory overload. I didn't know what to use or what to read. So I just read them all. I was fortunate in my first few years to get lucky trading a few stocks such as $BAC $INO, and some weed stocks during that 2013 range that helped build up my account tremendously. After the first three years I realized that LESS is MORE. You don’t need 10 indicators to tell you a stock is going to go up. You don’t need 5 different strategies to be a profitable trader. You just need ONE. The most important thing that I found was helpful is PATIENCE. 99% of the world is impatient. I knew If I could master this, I could have a big edge against the majority of retail traders. I spent a lot of time meditating. I spent hundreds of hours sitting alone in silence trying to clear my mind and focus on the present. Eventually I got really good at it. I noticed my ability to wait for trades got better. In my 4th and 5th year of trading, I was able to wait days to weeks at a time for the best trades. This was one of the A-HA moments I had in trading early on. Since then I’ve refined and mastered the art of patience and leveraged it to my advantage. Fast forward 14 years. I’ve retired my parents. I’ve helped my brother, and countless others. I ask for nothing in return from anyone. I don’t ask for any favors and I certainly do not try and steal from anyone. I’ve lived my life with the utmost integrity and I did things MY WAY. I can’t be bought and sold. Money and Power have zero influence in my decision making. My sole purpose on this earth is to help as many people as possible. I look forward to teaching you all and guiding everyone through the stock market for many years to come. Cheers! 🙏

$SPX and $QQQ price action looking better today. Both gapped up and dipped but bought up quickly $SPX needs through 7700 and $QQQ above 722 next We're also seeing $DELL $AMD $SNDK $NBIS show strength too... Let's see if the market can bottom out this week and push back higher by Mid November

TRADE PLAN for Oct 27th 📈 FOMC coming up tomorrow then tech earnings with $MSFT $GOOGL $AMZN as well... $SPX gapping up today along with $QQQ. SPX will gap into the 7700 resistance, it rejected there yesterday. $QQQ if it gets through 715 it can move back up to 722 after FOMC. The market may be trying to carve out a bottom with SPX above 7620 and $QQQ above 707 I would start to lean more bullish if it holds through Friday. $AMD up 9 points this morning and up almost 40 from last week's lows. lets see if it can run to 550+ next, $SMH also looks bottomed above 525... if it runs again this week 570 in play, $MU and $SNDK winding up for a move higher too. $SNDK has earnings on Thursday and its trended lower for 5 weeks straight.. SNDK to 1500 possible if there's a positive reaction to earnings. Good luck and be patient until AFTER FOMC. 🫡

The last time $TSLA spent this long coiling under one level, it ran 1,286% $TSLA closed near 400 again, near the highs of a range it’s been building since 2021. If the latest 400 break isn't immediately sold off, $TSLA can push back towards ATHs near 500. If it fails again, 380 needs to hold, otherwise bears can force a backtest of 350 🔑 Key Catalysts Neocloud Shakeout: Musk says lenders have shut the door on AI cloud companies with no outside revenue and 200+ of them face “guppy-level death.” Tesla pays for its own Cortex clusters with car and energy cash, and a $30B debt line sits unused SpaceX Merger Committees: Both boards formed special committees on Oct 20 to study a combination with $SPCX. Barclays upgraded to Overweight this morning with a $450 target on the takeover premium. Robotaxi and Optimus Ramp: 300+ Cybercabs are already running in Austin, with Dallas rides starting next month. The Optimus line in Fremont is built for 1M robots a year If 400 holds on a monthly close, $TSLA can see a monster rally towards 550, which puts $TSLA into very exclusive company: $2T MCAP, which only 7 other firms have ever achieved. Above 550, the next shelves are 700 and 930.10, a 132% move off the top of the range. If 400 fails again, $TSLA stays inside the sub 400 accumulation box. 🚀 Trade Ideas $TSLA above 400 Swing Trade: 11/20 420C Day Trade: 10/30 410C A lot of people have waited over 5 years for this trade. When the time comes, make sure you don't have to wait another 5 years

Bro to bro, start trading. Do your best for the next 12-36 months. There will never be an opportunity like this. Lock in and bring your dreams to life.

TRADE PLAN for Tuesday 📈 $SPX and $QQQ held up well today after SPX dropped to 7611 on Friday. If SPX tested 7700 today but rejected quickly. SPX Needs through 7700 after FOMC to look more bullish.. $QQQ dropped to 701 last week and popped up to 715 today. IF QQQ can hold above 707 and SPX holds 7620 the market can start to form a bottom. Be aware that we still have FOMC+ $MSFT $GOOGL $AMZN $SNDK earnings and GDP/PCE numbers coming on Wednesday and Thursday. We started to see the Chip and memory stocks look stronger today. $MU held 900, $SNDK closed +20 and $AMD up 14 on the day. $SMH can start to bottom as well if it holds 525. We'll see if a bottom forms by the end of next week. Tread lightly until the first week of November. Good luck tmrw everyone!! 🫡

Whenever you tell yourself “Price can’t go any lower” Trust me… it can.

For the next 30 days… Do not break a single rule. Don’t revenge trade… Don’t oversize… Don’t gamble… Try it and watch what happens.

Here’s a trading secret… You need conviction to execute your setup. You also need to be humble and accept rejection. Trading is proof that conviction and ego are not the same thing.

TRADE PLAN for Oct 26th 📈 Massive week inbound with FOMC, Tech earnings, GDP + PCE numbers. Expect a bigger move by Thursday this week. $SPX will either see 7500 or back to 7750-7800 range. $QQQ to 685 possible or back up to 727. SO far today we're seeing a gap up, $MU back near 900 $ SNDK up 25, $AMD touched 501 on Thursday now near 522, if these can hold the gap we can see the market rally into FOMC. The last 3 FOMC meeting with Warsh we saw the market sell off the same day. Let's see if $SMH can hold 525, $NBIS can defend 145 and $TSLA can breakout above 383 this week. Good luck everyone and be patient! 🫡

Weekly Trade Ideas: Oct 26 to 30 $MU Oct 28 800P Watch: 853 ✅ Targets: 821, 734 🎯 $SMH Nov 27 550C Trigger: 525 ✅ Targets: 538, 550 🎯 Stop: 515 🛑 $SMH Nov 6 500P Trigger: under 525 ✅ Targets: 515, 500 🎯 Stop: 527 🛑 $QQQ Oct 28 695P Trigger: under 700 ✅ Targets: 695, 693 🎯 Stop: 705 🛑 $SPX Oct 28 7750C Trigger: above 7700 ✅ Targets: 7750, 7772 🎯 Stop: 7669 🛑 $SPX Oct 28 7570P Trigger: under 7620 ✅ Target: 7570 🎯 Stop: 7650 🛑 Full plans on each ticker's card. Options carry risk of loss. Not financial advice.

$QQQ Trade Idea: Oct 28 695P Trigger: under 700 ✅ Targets: 695, 693 🎯 Stop: 705 🛑 $QQQ had a very volatile week. It moved from 707 on October 16th to 727, then back down to 701 by Friday. If QQQ gives up 700 this week after Tech earnings and FOMC, it can drop to 693, 685 next. Puts can work under 700. If QQQ gives up 685, it can drop to 661. The setup I'm watching. Options carry risk of loss. Not financial advice.

$SPX Trade Ideas: Oct 28 7750C and Oct 28 7570P BULLISH: Oct 28 7750C Trigger: above 7700 ✅ Targets: 7750, 7772 🎯 Stop: 7669 🛑 BEARISH: Oct 28 7570P Trigger: under 7620 ✅ Target: 7570 🎯 Stop: 7650 🛑 $SPX dropped from 7770 to 7612 last week. If SPX fails to hold 7620 after FOMC, we can see another dip to 7500 next. Puts can work under 7620 this week. I don't see any reason to flip bullish unless SPX reclaims 7700. The market will be more straightforward to trade after FOMC on Wednesday, so be patient until then. Two plans I'm watching. Options carry risk of loss. Not financial advice.

$MU Trade Idea: Oct 28 800P Level to watch: 853 ✅ Targets: 821, 734 🎯 Invalidation: sustained reclaim of 853 🛑 853 is the line I'm watching. If buyers lose it, 821 could come into play next. Big week for memory stocks: $SKHY reports Tuesday evening U.S. time. $SNDK reports Thursday after the close. Both could influence sentiment toward $MU. I'm watching their outlooks on memory pricing, demand, and margins, and how stocks actually react. Here's my plan: 853: Buyers need to defend this level. A break below followed by a failed reclaim would put the bearish setup in focus. 821: First downside target. Watch whether buyers step in or the bounce gets sold. 734: If 821 fails and $SNDK gets a negative earnings reaction Thursday, this becomes the deeper downside level I'm watching. It's conditional, not an automatic target. If 853 fails and rejects the retest, MU Oct 28 800P could work for a quick downside move. A sustained reclaim of 853 invalidates that breakdown setup. Those puts expire Wednesday, BEFORE Sandisk reports Thursday. They're a separate short-term trade, not a way to play that earnings reaction. Size for the full premium risk and take profits along the way. No need to front-run the breakdown. If buyers defend 853, respect it. Let the level fail first. Then trade the reaction. Options carry risk of loss. Not financial advice.

$SMH Trade Ideas: Nov 27 550C and Nov 6 500P BULLISH: Nov 27 550C Trigger: hold or reclaim 525 ✅ Targets: 538, 550 🎯 Stop: 515 🛑 BEARISH: Nov 6 500P Trigger: lose 525 and reject the retest ✅ Targets: 515, 500 🎯 Stop: 527 🛑 Buyers had their chance to push higher this week. They couldn't hold it. Now we're back at a key decision point. Last week, I highlighted 538, 525, and 500. SMH closed this week at $527.20, just above that second level. Friday's bounce reached $533.34 before fading. There still isn't enough confirmation to call a bottom. Here's my updated plan: 527 to 525: Immediate support zone. Buyers need to defend this area and build higher lows. Repeated tests without a sustained bounce keep me cautious. 535 to 538: The first area buyers need to reclaim and HOLD. Former support at 538 now becomes potential resistance. A bounce into this zone that gets sold would keep the setup weak. 550: Upside target if buyers defend support and reclaim 538. 515: Invalidation for my shorter-term bullish trade. Below that, I step aside and reassess. 500: The next major support if the recovery fails. With $MSFT, $GOOGL, $AMZN earnings and FOMC coming up, there are plenty of catalysts. Their AI spending outlooks could move the entire semiconductor group. $SMH remains my proxy for that reaction. If $SMH holds or reclaims 525 and starts building higher lows, I'm watching Nov 27 550C, targeting 538 first, then 550. Invalidation below 515 on SMH. If $SMH fails to hold 527, loses 525, and rejects a retest of that zone, Nov 6 500P could work. Watching 515 first, then 500 if selling accelerates. A sustained reclaim of 527 invalidates the breakdown setup. Those targets and invalidation levels refer to SMH's price. Options can lose value quickly, especially the shorter-dated puts. Size for the premium risk and take profits along the way. My broader scaling plan remains 25% at 535, 25% at 525, and 50% at 500, subject to reassessing the setup. That scaling plan has different risk rules from these options trades. If the calls invalidate, I'm not holding them down to 500 just because that was another buying level. I don't need to predict which direction comes next. I need a plan for either outcome. Be patient. Let price earn your conviction. Options carry risk of loss. Not financial advice.

Big Tech earnings + FOMC. This week could set the tone for the rest of Q4. Here’s what I’m watching October 26–30: MON: $VZ $CDNS TUE: $V $HOOD $SOFI $STX $NXPI $KO $UPS WED: $MSFT $GOOGL $NOW $KLAC $VRT $GEV THU: $AMZN $INTC $SNDK $COIN $MSTR $RDDT $RBLX $LLY $MA $CAT FRI: $XOM $CVX Microsoft and Google report Wednesday after the close. Amazon follows Thursday. The focus: cloud growth, AI spending, and whether that spending is translating into profits. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"} FOMC is Wednesday, October 28: • Rate decision: 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT • Press conference: 2:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM PT CME odds reported Friday put a pause around 92%, leaving roughly 8% for a hike. A pause is heavily expected, so the bigger catalyst could be the Fed’s message about December and further tightening. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="1"} There are NO new economic projections or dot plot this meeting. The next update comes in December. This week, watch the statement and press conference for changes to the inflation and rate outlook. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="2"} My proxy play for the semiconductor side of these AI earnings: $SMH. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon’s spending plans can move the chip stocks supplying that infrastructure. Strong spending supports demand, but the market still needs confidence in the returns. Same key levels I mentioned last week: • 538 • 525 • 500 If we get more downside, my planned allocation remains: 25% at 535 25% at 525 50% at 500 Those percentages are of my planned SMH position. I want to see buyers defend these areas and chips start building a base. Losing 538 puts 525 in focus, then 500 if selling continues. Plenty of catalysts. No need to force a trade before the reaction. Pre-plan your risk, stay patient, and let price confirm.

All of these headlines are just noise. Who telegraphs their next move before they do it.. Especially when they're about to attack another country.

Trading is never lonely when you’ve got Jesus by your side.
