With the markets starting to act a bit more “normal” again—whatever that even means anymore—I’ve been feeling more willing to put some risk on.
And when I say “put some risk on,” I don’t mean getting reckless. I mean firing my favorite kind of shot: long calls.
That’s my go-to trade when conditions line up. Simple, directional, defined risk, and explosive when it works.
And this week, the setups were speaking loud and clear. So I took action.
Here’s where I pulled the trigger:
A Canadian Bank – Clean technical setup, strong trend, and some fresh momentum behind it. No need to overcomplicate it.
A Crypto Platform – Bitcoin strength continues to be a rising tide, and this name was well-positioned to benefit.
An Agricultural Business – Sometimes the under-the-radar setups are the best ones. This name stood out from the crowd with a fresh breakout.
Three different sectors. Same strategy.
When the market starts rewarding good behavior, I start pressing the gas.
The key takeaway? I’m not trying to predict what the market should do. I’m responding to what it is doing. And lately, it’s been telling me to put on some trades.
So I did.
Enjoy your weekend, recharge the batteries, and let’s get back to work next week.
Summer is here and we’re just getting warmed up.
