Hey Trader,
Stay Vigilant and Ready in Your Trading Journey
I hope this email finds you in good spirits. As you continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the financial markets, I wanted to share a verse that has been a source of encouragement and perspective for many:
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come."
Matthew 24:42
In the world of trading, staying vigilant and prepared is crucial. Market conditions can shift unexpectedly, and opportunities can arise when you least expect them. This verse serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of staying alert and ready, not only in our spiritual lives but also in our daily endeavors.
Just as we do not know the exact timing of significant events in the market, we are also reminded that certain outcomes are beyond our control. However, by maintaining a watchful and proactive approach, we can better navigate uncertainties and seize the opportunities that come our way.
Let this verse inspire you to stay diligent in your research, disciplined in your strategies, and prepared for whatever the market may bring. Your hard work and vigilance will position you to respond effectively to the ever-evolving trading environment.
Wishing you success and prosperity in all your trading activities!
Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will

How We Captured Profits in Crude Oil and Gold
Anthony Speciale here with Speciale Analysis. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today, I want to break down how we captured significant profits this morning through live trading.
We'll discuss two opportunities that set up beautifully for us—one in the crude oil market and the other in the gold market. Let’s delve into each of these trades, our analysis, and how we executed them to maximize our gains.
Crude Oil Market Analysis
First up, let’s talk about crude oil. The market was challenging this morning as the NASDAQ and S&P were not cooperating, making them less ideal for trading.
Instead, we focused on crude oil, where we found more promising opportunities.
Initially, we noticed crude oil struggling to break above some prior highs. After a slight close above, the market made an aggressive pullback just as our session started at 8:00.
This pullback was less than desirable, causing us to pause and reassess.
We observed the following key points:
Failed Breakout: The initial attempt to hold above the prior highs failed, leading to an aggressive pullback.
VWAP Support: The market held the rolling VWAP beautifully, providing a level of support.
Subsequent Rally: After retesting the prior high, the market eventually settled above this level, aiming for an 8140 target.
This setup provided us with about 43 - 44 ticks of profit as the market moved towards our target. Despite some choppiness, the trade followed through nicely, especially around the inventory report, which had been rescheduled due to a federal holiday.
We also monitored liquidity around 81.50, which was filled shortly after the inventory report, pushing our profit potential to about 54 ticks. This trade played out beautifully, allowing us to step away once our targets were hit.
Gold Market Analysis
The second opportunity was in the gold market. Unlike crude oil, gold demonstrated a strong, continuous uptrend, making it an excellent candidate for trading.
Here’s what we observed in gold:
Breaking Prior Highs: Gold broke above its prior highs and never looked back.
Momentum: The market maintained its momentum, holding above the fast-moving averages across multiple time frames.
Sustained Rally: The rally extended to nearly 195 ticks, with the market holding the 8 EMA beautifully throughout the session.
This setup was straightforward, with gold maintaining its strength and not giving back any gains. The sustained rally and minor pullbacks provided additional confirmation of the trend’s strength, resulting in a highly profitable trade.
Key Takeaways and Strategy
Here are some critical insights from our trades today:
Identifying Opportunities: When the indices did not present clear opportunities, we shifted our focus to commodities where setups were more favorable.
Technical Analysis: We used technical levels such as prior highs, VWAP, and EMAs to guide our trading decisions.
Risk Management: Proper stop loss placement and profit targets helped manage risk and secure profits.
