What is Position Trading?

Position trading is a long-term strategy where traders hold positions for weeks, months, or even years — aiming to catch large market moves. Unlike day or swing traders, position traders focus on the bigger picture, ignoring daily price noise.

Key traits:
– Hold few trades with high conviction
– Rely on weekly/monthly charts
– Often based on fundamentals, macro trends, or strong technical signals
– Minimal screen time — focus is on the big narrative

Position traders aim to ride major trends and capture most of the move. Patience and conviction are their biggest edge — and also their biggest risk.

Some of history’s greatest trades — like Michael Burry’s short on subprime mortgages — were position trades.

President Trump says Fed Chair Powell "demeans the great credit of the USA."

JUST IN: Dimon stated that the real data on the U.S. economy is extremely difficult to interpret and suggested there's a 40%-50% probability of higher U.S. interest rates.

The crisis continues:

Since the debt ceiling was raised on July 3rd, US debt is now up $410 BILLION in 2 days.

This comes after the US Treasury ended "extraordinary measures," raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

We are in the midst of the US largest crisis.

US Wage Growth Stalling?

13.3% of Americans haven’t received a pay raise — the highest in 4 years.
That’s up 3 points in 2 years, now worse than in 2001 and on par with 2008.

With CPI inflation at 2.4%, many are seeing real wage declines.
Headline jobs data looks strong — but under the surface, the labor market is clearly softening.

The Formula for Trading Full-Time

Trading for a living isn’t just about passion — it’s a numbers game. Here’s what you really need before quitting your job:

— No debt and low monthly expenses
— 6-month emergency fund (separate from trading capital)
— Enough capital to make returns meaningful
— A proven trading system with an edge
— Discipline, experience, and stress tolerance
— Acceptance of irregular income (trading ≠ paycheck)

• Reality: Traders don’t earn weekly — they earn only if their winners outpace losers.
• Your real boss becomes price action.
• Most fail because they chase big returns with small capital.

The math that matters:
Trading Capital × Monthly Return ≥ Monthly Expenses (plus taxes)

If that equation doesn’t work, you’re not ready. Most people should trade to grow capital first — not rely on it to survive.

Nvidia > Germany?

Nvidia’s market cap has now surpassed the entire GDP of Germany — plus an extra trillion dollars.

One chipmaker is now worth more than one of the world’s largest economies.

5 Lessons from Jim Simons — the Greatest Trader of All Time

Jim Simons, founder of Renaissance Technologies, ran the Medallion Fund — the most profitable hedge fund in history. Here's what traders can learn from him:

— Quantify your edge
Backtest historical data to find repeatable patterns. Simons' models were based on statistical analysis, not gut feeling.

— Follow your system with discipline
“We don’t override the models.” Even the best strategy fails without consistency.

— Trade liquid, model-friendly assets
Simons only traded instruments that were public, liquid, and quantifiable. Illiquid assets carry hidden risks.

— You don’t need a high win rate
His systems were right just 50.75% of the time — but with strong risk/reward ratios, they still made billions.

— Stick to the core principles
Risk management, small losses, and letting winners run — these principles never go out of style.

Trading isn’t magic — it’s math and discipline.

Most Bullish S&P 500 Forecast So Far

Sanctuary Wealth Management predicts the S&P 500 will hit 7,000 by year-end.

Current situation:

1. Bitcoin is up +60% in 3 months like the USD is broken

2. The USD is falling in its worst start to a year since 1973

3. Gold prices are rising toward $3,400/oz like inflation is back

4. Treasury yields are rising like deficit spending is worsening

5. Silver prices are rising like uncertainty never ended

Don't discount the impact of the deficit spending crisis.

JUST IN: Trump commented on the Canada tariff carve-outs, indicating uncertainty with "We'll see." He also mentioned that the Canada tariffs were "fairly well received."

Are you paying attention?

Bitcoin is now up +55% since its April 2025 low, hitting a RECORD $115,000.

Meanwhile, the US Dollar just had its WORST start to a year since 1973, falling nearly -11% in 6 months.

JUST IN: The US Government reports a rare $27 billion budget surplus in June, primarily due to tariffs.

• Tariff collections in June reached approximately $27 billion, a +301% increase from June 2024.
• Total tariff collections for 2025 amount to $113 billion, up +86% year-over-year.

The significant increase in tariff collections could positively influence market sentiment by reducing the national deficit, potentially impacting investor confidence.

JUST IN: Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is thinking about quitting due to the Epstein files memo, according to CNN.

you get more consistent by becoming more selective

most of you take every setup that just “looks good”

but “looks good” isn’t a repeatable system

long-term consistency comes from letting go of FOMO
and being fine with missing moves that don’t meet your standards

9-5 jobs are comfort money.

They give you just enough money to make it hard to leave. Then you buy a house, get a car, have kids. Then it's too much risk to leave the job.

Next thing you know, you blink, and you're 60.
