Gold 4H Chart:
Bulls in control for now. I see limited upside for now, and think likely the previous highs (shown in red) will continue to act as strong supply zones for sellers.
EdgeFinder bias: neutral. Economic data is mixed, sentiment actually showing crowd is buying currently (bearish contrarian signal), seasonality bullish.
My bias: I think gold remains in a range for now, with both limited upside and limited downside. In the short run, bulls seem to have control.

Interesting find: Gold's Put-Call ratio shows crowd sentiment is very bullish.
As I use this as a contrarian indicator, this suggests that the market may have room to pullback or reverse lower.

My trading journey, every year:
2016 β Rough start. I had no clue what I was doing and quickly realized trading was much harder than I expected.
2017 β Slightly better, but still ended the year in the red. Learned a lot through trial and error.
2018 β First profitable year. Finally started seeing the payoff from all the time and effort.
2019 β Very profitable. My strategy started clicking.
2020 β Another strong year. Continued refining my approach.
2021 β Also very profitable.
2022 β My first losing year since becoming profitable. A humbling reminder that nothing is guaranteed.
2023 β Back on track. Very profitable again.
2024 β My best P&L year ever.
2025 - Very strong start in a very challenging year!

BTCUSD Daily Chart:
Fresh all time highs! Bitcoin has been incredibly impressive this year. While stock markets dropped big, bitcoin has actually been a relative winner in all of this.
Concerns around the US national debt actually seem to be fueling both gold and bitcoin higher, as they offer an alternative place for investors to 'hide out'
Pullbacks into support are possible buying opportunities in my view.

This is a very quick way to get an idea of which charts the EdgeFinder currently has a bullish/bearish bias on.

RUSSELL 2000 Daily:
Today I went long on the small cap index, US2000.
We retested a key level of support I've been watching, after the impressive move higher we've seen in the last month.
I've got a stop below today's intraday low.
I remain bullish on indices, and optimistic that while Trump's negotiation tactics are unorthodox, I do think most countries will find a middle ground on trade.
I also see the US economy as robust compared to expectations.
Additionally, we are seeing a high reading in the Put-Call ratio, suggesting the risk:reward to the upside could be strong on the long side as most traders are bearish. If I'm wrong, I'll take a small loss.

I am up about 10% for the year so far. The Nasdaq is down about 3% YTD.
While this has been a challenging year so far, I wanted to reflect as we near the halfway point (hard to believe).
Here are a few things that have helped me to tread water this year:
Only taking my best setups: I have remained systematic this year, double and triple checking every trade that I take. While this does not rule out the possibility for losses or losing streaks, I feel confident in each position I take, win or loss.
Small sizing: I have focused heavily on risk management and drawdown management. While this led to some underperformance last year when compared the market, it has paid dividends (literally and figuratively) in a volatile market selloff year like 2025.

Focusing on the economic data, NOT the 24 hour news cycle. Whether you support or dislike Trump, he re-introduces significant uncertainty into the market with his big agendas. I have done my best to AVOID the news media constantly promoting fear and negativity. This allowed me not to be overly skeptical, and take advantage of the discounted prices we saw in stocks in April.
Following trends: gold is a clear winner this year, and the standout trade I had on it in April is a major contributor to the outperformance I have had this year.
In summary: Don't panic. Stick to your system. Don't obsess over political drama to the point that it impacts your trading decisions. Enjoy the ride. - Nick
