This market is already crazy and we have no PDT rule in less than two weeks!
Thank goodness for the 100+ pairs of eyes in Trading Challenge chat every day.
Otherwise I couldn’t keep up.
There have been near-endless spikers (SO many that I’ve traded sloppily).
Gooooooooooooood morning! Who's up early to watch and learn and earn from big premarket runners like $ATPC $LGHL $ATPC $LIMN $ILLR $JUNS whewwwwww, what a crazy market this is. Retweet this if you realize a lot of these runners spike SO fast so you cannot overstay!!! pic.twitter.com/ywbpbYsUAm

Who knows what will happen today?
The Friday before Memorial Day is sometimes a “getaway” day.
In other words, it might be slower if there’s lower volume and no big news.
That said, the market has surprised SO many people over the past few months.
It wouldn’t surprise me either way.
One thing to remember as we go into the long holiday weekend is this…
No matter what happens today and into next week, the more you surround yourself with focused, successful traders, the better chance you have to succeed.
Don’t get me wrong…
A bunch of newbies in their own chat room never ends well.
But if you’re in a chat room like Trading Challenge chat…
The years of experience and number of eyes is almost a “force multiplier”…
One thing to consider (and this is SUPER important)…

5 Trading Chatroom Scams To Avoid
There’s even one very well-known guy (I won’t name names but his first name rhymes with loss)…
Who runs a livestream for his chat room on a delay!
Let that sink in.
I don’t know if he front runs his own members, but can you imagine how confused newbies get?
Other chat rooms are notorious for doing rug pulls on their members.
We have a strict “No Promotion” rule in our chat rooms.
I’ve banned members in the past for even trying it.
Also, I recommend you NEVER follow another trader into a trade. EVER.
That goes for me or anyone else.
The point of the chat room is for you to watch, learn, and be transparent. But also…
100 Pairs of Eyes In a Hot Market Are Better Than Just Yours
There are times recently where I just haven’t been able to keep up.
That’s EXACTLY why I try to be in chat as much as possible.
Given that there are plays galore morning, noon, and night…
I’m grateful for the Trading Challenge chat.
If you aren’t in good chat, with experienced and TRANSPARENT traders…
I highly recommend you apply for the Trading Challenge today.
There are SO many great traders (some of them have been with me for years).
Yes, there are beginners there, watching, learning, and asking questions during webinars.
Mari started in the Trading Challenge…
Millionaire Moves
Once again, millionaire student Mari is back with another great video answering her most asked questions…
The most asked trading questions I get answered in one video👇
• When do you cut a losing trade?
• How do you survive losing streaks?
• What would I do with only $1,000?
• Best & worst parts of trading
• Pay off debt or trade first?https://t.co/RXgcWwpPoM— MARI (@Mari_trades) May 21, 2026
Mari also talked about…
- Why cutting losses quickly is so important.
- The biggest mistake beginning traders make and…
- How she thinks about risk management.
I’m so proud of Mari. Definitely watch the entire video because all the questions came from her viewers.
With the PDT rule ending, we are entering what I think could be…

Catalyst Watch
Monday is Memorial Day. I’ll send you an email as usual.
In the meantime…
Set aside time for family and to honor the fallen this weekend. But also do a little studying.
I’m not suggesting you work all weekend, every weekend.
But think how the time adds up if you put in 2 hours a day on weekends for an entire year.
That’s over 200 hours of study.
Most traders are not that dedicated. Study hard to separate yourself from the pack.
On My Radar
Here are a few links to keep you busy this weekend.
- Remember to watch this important video on the end of the PDT rule
- Also, watch this video with Jack and I talking about no PDT soon

Have a great weekend!
