The Pentagon / Maven news today appears to be the catalyst behind this breakout from the symmetrical triangle pattern. The market is now pricing in the idea that $PLTR (Palantir) is becoming even more deeply embedded in U.S. defense AI spending.

I bought long calls at the $167.50 strike for $115 per contract, expiring this Friday, just before the market close.

Now we watch for follow-through tomorrow.

Why Gold and Silver are down?

This pullback in miners is a direct reaction to macro conditions.

Jerome Powell made it clear in last FOMC that inflation remains sticky and the Fed is prepared to keep rates higher for longer if needed.

Higher-for-longer rates continue to support a stronger U.S. dollar, and a stronger dollar puts pressure on gold as it becomes less attractive globally. As a result, capital rotates out of gold and mining stocks in the short term.

Understanding this is how you stay ahead of the move, not react to it.

That $15-18 are our buy zone.

Here’s a real example of risk management.

In my Feb 20 post, I shared that I bought 10 contracts of NVIDIA $220 calls at $15 per contract. Remember, positions like this can go to zero if the move doesn’t happen.

This morning, those contracts were trading at $30.

That’s a clean double.

Now, a gambler would let everything ride and hope for more.

But I don’t gamble. I trade.

I took profit on half, locked in my original cost and some gains.
That makes the rest of the trade risk-free.

I’m holding the remaining 5 contracts into tomorrow to see how it plays out.

This is how you manage risk be it in wins and in losses.

Protect capital first. Profits come second.

That’s how consistency is built.

IF there is a volatility in the market, and I want to day trade it, here's what I am doing :

On the 5-minute chart, if price rejects VWAP and can’t get back above it, I stay bearish. If VWAP breaks, momentum can shift fast. But when price reclaims it with strong volume, that’s a different story. VWAP isn’t magic, it’s a control line where big money is active.

If you’re serious about trading the market in a shorter time frame just to catch the intraday wave, don’t ignore VWAP, especially when you combine it with premarket high/low and your other levels.

Here's the video of me using it.

This is how I’m building my fund, slowly and on purpose.

I took profits from my Invesco QQQ Trust put trade and used it to buy 100 shares of Krispy Kreme $DNUT.

My approach is simple:

I trade options for income, then I reinvest into real businesses and companies with strong brands, good reputations, and products I actually use.

This time, it’s $DNUT.

Next week, I’m also looking at $NVDA (NVIDIA) earnings and let me be clear, this is a very high-risk play.

If you don’t understand it, don’t even think about trying it.

This kind of position can go worthless.

No hype here. Just me being transparent.
