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! 🙏
$AMD is about to catch up to $NVDA. It's already up 160% on the year and has room to run. 🚀
$AMD is right back near 562, up 5% and pressing into the top of the falling wedge that has capped every bounce since the ATHs. A three-week, 22% flush took it from 653 to the 500 zone, and buyers defended that level hard. A weekly close above 562 breaks the wedge, with $1T MCAP at 612 directly overhead.
Key Catalysts 🔑
Meta goes gigawatt-scale: Meta is installing Helios racks for its next frontier models and co-designing a custom MI450 chip with AMD. AMD is putting $1B into Meta's equity offering to lock the partnership in.
Nov 3 earnings: Back in August, AMD guided Q3 to $13B, up 41% year over year. Stifel expects a beat-and-raise on server CPU demand, with first MI450 revenue showing up in the Q4 guide.
Helios goes live: OpenAI brings Helios online this quarter, and Anthropic's 2GW deployment starts in the first half of 2027. Management pegs revenue per gigawatt in the double-digit billions.
562 is the pivot. Hold it on a weekly close and 612 is next, along with the $1T MCAP mark. Clear 612 and 653 is the last level before new ATHs. Reject 562 again and bears can retest the 500 zone. Lose that and 462 is the backtest.
Trade Ideas 🚀
$AMD over 562
Day Trade: AMD 11/02 600C
Swing Trade: AMD 11/20 650C
The hardest part of trading is usually the waiting. It took $AMD a month to get back to 562. Getting back to ATHs could take half that long
Can you compound a small account?
Then you can compound a big one.
But if you blow a small account...
You’ll blow a big one.
More capital just makes your habits bigger.
Think in percentages, not dollars.
Your skills scale... but so do your mistakes.
TRADE PLAN for FOMC Wednesday 📈
All eyes on FOMC/ Warsh tomorrow.
The first move at 11am PST is never the real move. Wait for Warsh to start answering questions at the presser at 11:30am PST. If SPX continues to hold above 7700 and $QQQ hold above 715 after FOMC.. We can see the market continue to rip higher into the weekend. SPX to 7800 and QQQ to 734 possible.
We're finally seeing chip and memory stocks lead the market back higher as well. $AMD touched 501 last Friday and bounced to 560+ today. AMD to 600 in play in November. $SMH also dropped near 517 last week and moved near 560.
$TSLA through 414 can run to 420 and up to 434 next. It's been a while since we've seen TSLA above 400. $NBIS should've sold off after Elon's comments but instead it was bought up too.
Lots of bullish action with negative news hitting the wire the past week...
Time to buy the dip... 🫡
I remember thinking “Day trading must be super hard” until I actually learned it. Now I make a doctors yearly salary on a good day. Keep going… it will soon be worth it. I believe in you.
Step 1: Find your edge
Step 2: Stop watching trading content
Step 3: Unfollow every trader (including me)
Step 4: Never go broke again
We're all gonna die.
Life's too short for people's opinions.
Become a trader if that’s what YOU want.
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!! 🫡
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! 🫡

$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.

$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.

$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.
