Trading Week Reflection:

It was a frustrating week for me, especially on the momentum pick, Boeing, which had a great start before giving up all gains following the plane crash in India. That’s a good reminder that even the best setups on paper—this one was definitely one of them—can fail, and why proper risk management is critical, especially in short-term trading. The best thing to do is take the loss and move on. And in this particular case, given the reason behind the drop, there are certainly more important things in life than a trading loss.

The rest of the week wasn’t any easier, with tensions in the Middle East flaring up on Friday. Wars and geopolitical events are impossible to predict, and it is even more challenging to forecast how the market will respond to them. Next week could be quite volatile, depending on how the situation evolves. However, in moments like this, the best course of action is to stick to your plan and execute it diligently. That’s precisely what I intend to do: act on setups when they come and exit weak positions as needed.
