Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m sending out this massive THANK YOU to all of you. This year has been insane. Not just in the markets, but in terms of real lives.
Due to all of my student’s progress: Continued studying, trading, sticking it out in the pursuit of self-sufficient profits, we’ve continued to grow together and do real good beyond the charts.
I launched new schools this year through the Karmagawa Foundation. The most recent was #128 in late October.
The school is in Soacha, Columbia. And my donations were joined by gifts from a few of my millionaire students
Look at the photos below:
I have two true passions: Teaching and giving.
Opening classrooms, expanding education for kids who need it most, building something that matters … That’s what it’s all about.
And the fuel that runs that mission is inside our trading community.
In 2025, three new students crossed the $1 million milestone.
Seeing students hit the $1 million milestone, it lights me up. And it inspires other students to continue to push. To grow, succeed, and give back.
The perseverance, from entry to exit on every trade, can fund schools, food for kids, and hope for families around the world.
For example, I was joined in Columbia by Eduardo, my millionaire student who moved his family out of a dangerous city in Venezuela with his trading profits.
So this Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the trades and the profits in this market, but I’m most thankful for you. For every chart you study, every alert you follow, every late night that you push through.
You aren’t just building your future, you help inspire someone else’s.
Let’s keep stacking wins for ourselves … And stacking up real-world impact for others.
While Everyone’s Relaxing, The Market’s Coiling
Tomorrow, Friday, November 28, the market closes early, at 1 P.M. Eastern.
Most traders will log off early if they show up at all, eat leftovers, and forget about the charts for a few days.
That’s a mistake.
While the crowd zones out, smart traders quietly scan for setups that the market hasn’t fully priced in yet. The hottest tickers tend to cool off just enough into the weekend for a perfect window of opportunity.
That’s when the weekend pattern starts to work its magic.
This pattern plays on human behavior.
While everyone’s distracted with families, football, and food, stocks that ran Friday morning tend to fade just slightly into the early close. They look “tired” to lazy traders. But underneath, they’re setting up the perfect pressure cooker.
On Saturday and Sunday, the news spreads. Screenshots circulate. Traders start researching again. And by Sunday night, the FOMO is at an all-time high …
Then, on Monday morning, boom! The gap-up move we’ve been waiting for.
That’s the advantage of discipline over distraction.
How to Prepare for Monday’s Gap-Up
If you truly want to use the weekend to your advantage, study the charts.
Look at the day’s biggest gainers.
- Which stocks held their key levels into the close?
- Which stocks have low floats and strong catalysts?
- Which stocks trapped shorts into the early Friday fade?
Those are your weekend pattern candidates.
Make a watchlist before the market closes on Friday. And use this pattern to find a perfect entry.
Then step away.
Enjoy the holiday, reset your brain, and let the setup mature.
Come Monday morning, we’ll start the week strong with a sell into the buying strength.
Remember, the market rewards traders who study while others sleep.
So be thankful today, yes. But prepare for tomorrow.
Because the next Monday gap-up could be the one that funds not just your Thanksgiving feast … But maybe the next classroom, the next school, or the next big act of giving.
Cheers
