3 Key Tweaks for Your Stock Trading Plan

We’re more than halfway through my series on tweaks to your trading plan based on asset class! And when it comes to stocks, the menu is wide open. Unlike Forex, where you’re choosing a currency pair (see Monday’s post here)… Or futures, where I recommend focusing on one contract (see Tuesday’s post here)… With stocks you’ve

3 Key Tweaks for Your Futures Trading Plan

As I’ve shared before in this series, a trading plan is a vital tool for anyone. It doesn’t matter if you trade short-term or long-term, or if your focus is Forex, futures, stocks, or options. You need a plan. I already covered some important tweaks for Forex traders. Now let’s talk about Futures, since that’s

Trading Plan Tweaks for Forex Traders

It’s a Monday and I logged into the Discord for my First 40 Trading Club members and saw a bunch of new students who had joined since my most recent workshop. They were posting welcome messages, introducing themselves, sharing what they trade, and what they’re most excited for. Two things stood out: So that gave

A Reminder to Slow Down (On the Stairs… and in Trading)

It’s been lovely having my mom visit Austin for the first time. And I’m definitely going to miss her home cooking in my kitchen. The other day, in a rush to ask her to make a little bit of extra ginger chai for my husband, I ran down the stairs.I never rush, but here I

Key Takeaways from Today’s Fed Rate Cut

All right. Let’s walk through this together. First of all, the Fed did the expected — they cut rates by 25 basis points. They also mentioned reducing their security holdings, so they’re chipping away at that $9 trillion balance sheet. Now, here’s where it gets interesting. There was only one dissent — Governor Myron, who

A Look at the S&P 500 Ahead of the Fed

The S&P 500 has been on an overall trek higher since mid-April, when it bottomed after the initial tariff news hit. On the way up, we’ve had various trade-deal headlines, the latest being that there’s a deal framework with China that could be finalized by this Friday, September 19. Before that though, all eyes are

Master One Dish, Master One Market

I was in the kitchen with my mom recently, helping her prep vegetables for dinner, when this thought hit me. If you’re a fan of Indian cuisine, you know there’s almost an endless variety of vegetables to cook. And that variety only multiplies when you factor in all the regional differences across India. My family

Find Your Rhythm in Trading (and in Life)

Since my mom’s been visiting, I’ve been watching how the three of us — her, my husband, and me — operate in totally different cycles. You’d expect that to create tension. Whose schedule rules the kitchen? Who decides when meals get cooked, when groceries happen? And at first, I tried to sync with my mom.

Check the Manual

Our modern life is made up of…a bunch of machines.Your house or apartment, with things that run on their own and others you have to initiate.Your computer you use for trading.And of course, the vehicles so many of us depend on every day. Recently, my husband noticed the skid plate on our Honda CRV was

Short-Term Fixes and Long-Term Trading Solutions

My mom is visiting me right now! And we also haven’t had an overnight guest in quite some time. That meant dusting off the guest room, moving stored things around, and preparing the space. But even with preparation, there are always the unforeseen. And that’s the same in trading. You can plan your risk, place

Navigating the Fed as a Trader: News and Indicators

In my last post, I shared how the Fed is very data oriented. The challenge is that the data they rely on is always backward-looking — usually a month old by the time it’s in their hands. That makes it almost impossible to know exactly how the economy is moving day to day. Or is

Navigating the Fed as a Trader: Fed Actions vs. Fed Speak

In the first post of this series, What Every Trader Needs to Know About the Fed, I walked through the basics of the Fed — what it is, how interest rates work, and why the dollar matters. Now let’s look at what the Fed actually does. The Fed has two main ways of influencing markets:
