Jacob's LadderAn Amped Up Pawn for a King. Are you ready for some more? -1 MNQ @ 24999.50; Position: -1 +2 MNQ @ 25000.00; Position: +1 +2 MNQ @ 25110.00; Position: +3 -2 MNQ @ 25015.00; Position: +1; Profit: +28.18 +2 MNQ @ 25120.00; Position: +3 -2 MNQ @ 25025.00; Position: +1; Profit: +28.18 +2 MNQ @ 25130.00; Position: +3 -2 MNQ @ 25035.00; Position: +1; Profit: +28.18 +2 MNQ @ 25140.00; Position: +3 -2 MNQ @ 25045.00; Position: +1; Profit: +28.18 -1 MNQ @ 25050.00; Position: 00; Profit: +08.18 Total Profit: $120.90 From the above table our average Long Position was +2. We just traded a span of 50 points and made $120.90. And we have a Pawn we sold @ 24999.50. For now, that Pawn is a drag on profits. We all know that PX doesn't go straight up. Pullbacks are part of the PX action. At some time, we will be able to buy back that Pawn for a profit. If the PX never pulls back to 24999.50 that's OK. We will pick up other Pawns along the way and we will redeem them for profit. I typically redeem them for 200 points. The typical way of trading +2 MNQ would look like this: qty 2 x 50 points - 1.82 commission = $98.18. Don't forget the stop loss. You must have a stop loss. Or so they say. End of story. Compare that with our profit of $120.90 120.90 - 98.18/98.18 x 100% = 23.14116% We made an extra 23.14116%. That adds up to real $$$. Add to that some Pawns you buy back along the way and we're flush. But that is not the end of the story. We did not use any stops. Not one. It is more blessed to give than to receive.

NQ & ES After Hours Comment Thursday 16-10-2025Observing the recent price action, it’s clear that price failed to find meaningful support within those blue zones — however, the sensitivity and reaction around these levels were evident. The main mistake today was overlooking the fact that, just above the previous day’s highs — which the NQ managed to take out while the ES didn’t — there was a Fair Value Gap (FVG) on the daily timeframe. This area could easily have acted as a resistance zone and triggered a full reversal. At the same time, the YM had two equal lows sitting just beneath current price, marking a strong liquidity pool. Overall, it was a poor analysis day on my part — I was off, even though I did mention there would be short setups emerging. Hopefully, you recognized along the way that there was no valid long confirmation, and managed to stay out of losing trades. Back here tomorrow at 08:45 AM NY time (45 minutes ahead of the market open). PF

Why Global Markets Matter for GrowthGlobal markets play a central role in the development and growth of economies around the world. In an increasingly interconnected world, no economy operates in isolation. Trade, investment, technology, and financial flows cross borders at an unprecedented scale, shaping the pace and quality of economic growth. Understanding why global markets matter for growth requires examining their multifaceted influence on investment, productivity, innovation, employment, and resilience. 1. Access to Larger Markets One of the most immediate benefits of global markets is access to a larger pool of consumers. Domestic markets are often limited in size, particularly for smaller or developing economies. By participating in global markets, firms can scale their operations, sell to international consumers, and achieve higher revenue. For example, companies in countries like South Korea or Germany have leveraged global demand for electronics and automobiles to grow rapidly. Access to foreign markets allows businesses to produce at larger scales, reduce per-unit costs, and benefit from economies of scale. These efficiencies, in turn, contribute to higher profitability and reinvestment in growth initiatives, such as research, infrastructure, and human capital. 2. Attraction of Foreign Investment Global markets are also crucial for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and portfolio investment. FDI provides not just capital but also advanced technology, managerial expertise, and global best practices. Countries that are well integrated into global markets become attractive destinations for multinational corporations seeking efficiency, skilled labor, or strategic locations. Foreign investment can accelerate growth by funding new projects, improving infrastructure, and creating jobs. For instance, the inflow of FDI into India’s technology and manufacturing sectors has fueled innovation, increased employment, and enhanced productivity. Beyond direct capital, foreign investment signals confidence to other investors, creating a virtuous cycle of growth and integration into global economic systems. 3. Enhanced Competition and Productivity Integration into global markets exposes domestic firms to international competition. While this can be challenging, it encourages businesses to improve efficiency, innovate, and adopt better management practices. Competition ensures that resources are allocated more effectively, firms focus on core competencies, and consumers benefit from higher quality products at competitive prices. Research shows that countries more integrated into global trade networks experience higher productivity growth. For example, Vietnam’s integration into global supply chains for electronics and apparel has forced domestic firms to adopt advanced technologies and production methods, improving overall productivity and growth. 4. Technology Transfer and Innovation Global markets facilitate the exchange of ideas, technology, and innovation. Firms that operate internationally gain access to the latest technological advancements and can adopt them faster than purely domestic firms. This process—often referred to as technology transfer—enhances productivity and encourages the development of new products and services. Innovation is further stimulated through collaboration with foreign partners, exposure to international best practices, and learning from global competitors. Countries that embrace global markets tend to have stronger innovation ecosystems, which can drive long-term economic growth. For instance, the rise of China’s high-tech manufacturing sector was fueled by its engagement with global markets, allowing it to adopt and eventually innovate on advanced technologies from abroad. 5. Diversification and Risk Management Global markets allow countries and businesses to diversify their economic activities, reducing dependence on a single sector or market. Diversification helps stabilize economic growth by mitigating the impact of domestic shocks or downturns in specific industries. For example, countries reliant solely on commodity exports may face volatility when global commodity prices fluctuate. Engaging in global markets—through trade, investment, or financial integration—enables economies to spread risk and maintain more stable growth. Access to global financial markets also provides avenues for risk hedging, such as currency and commodity derivatives, which help businesses plan and invest with confidence. 6. Employment Generation and Human Capital Development Participation in global markets often leads to higher employment opportunities. Export-oriented industries, multinational operations, and global supply chains require labor, often leading to job creation in manufacturing, services, and technology sectors. Beyond job creation, global engagement improves human capital. Exposure to international standards, training, and work culture elevates skills and productivity. Workers in globally connected industries often receive better training and experience, which contributes to overall economic growth and competitiveness. For example, countries like Ireland and Singapore have leveraged global market access to develop highly skilled labor forces, fueling sustained growth in technology, finance, and services. 7. Capital Market Development Global markets are not limited to trade and investment in goods; they also include financial markets. Countries with integrated capital markets can attract international investors, diversify funding sources, and lower the cost of capital. Access to global capital allows governments and firms to finance large-scale infrastructure projects, research and development, and business expansion. Moreover, global financial integration promotes transparency, efficiency, and the adoption of international best practices in governance and regulation, further supporting sustainable growth. 8. Strengthening Macroeconomic Resilience Global market participation helps economies become more resilient to domestic economic shocks. By having access to multiple trade partners, diversified investment sources, and integrated financial networks, countries can buffer themselves against downturns in any single market. For example, during global recessions, countries with strong trade and investment links may still maintain growth by leveraging alternative markets or attracting counter-cyclical investment. In contrast, economies isolated from global markets often face deeper and longer recessions due to a lack of external support. 9. Driving Policy Reforms and Institutional Development Engagement with global markets often necessitates reforms in policy, regulation, and institutions. To attract investment and participate effectively in international trade, countries adopt policies that improve transparency, ease of doing business, property rights, and financial regulation. These reforms, spurred by global market participation, create a more conducive environment for growth. For instance, reforms in trade policies, taxation, and investment protection in countries like India and Vietnam have been directly linked to their successful integration into global markets and sustained economic growth. 10. Promoting Sustainable and Inclusive Growth Finally, global markets have the potential to promote more sustainable and inclusive growth. Trade and investment can encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies, higher labor standards, and corporate social responsibility practices. International engagement also provides opportunities for developing economies to integrate into high-value supply chains, generating employment and reducing poverty. While globalization has its challenges, responsible participation in global markets can align economic growth with social and environmental objectives, contributing to broader development goals. Conclusion Global markets matter for growth because they provide access to larger consumer bases, attract foreign investment, stimulate competition and productivity, facilitate technology transfer, and enhance employment and human capital development. They also promote diversification, strengthen financial markets, and drive institutional reforms, contributing to more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. In an interconnected world, the countries that engage effectively with global markets are better positioned to harness resources, innovation, and opportunities that drive long-term prosperity. Conversely, isolation from global markets can limit growth potential, reduce efficiency, and slow the pace of modernization. For policymakers, businesses, and investors, understanding the dynamics of global markets is crucial for crafting strategies that leverage international opportunities while managing risks.

NASDAQ 100 E-mini Futures (NQ1!) – 4H OutlookPrice action has shown a strong recovery from recent lows, breaking above the previous structure and retesting key support. I’ll be looking for a buy opportunity on a clean break and retest of the red resistance zone (around 25,150–25,270). If the level holds as new support, the next bullish target lies at the black resistance level near 26,100–26,200, which aligns with the higher-timeframe supply zone. A failure to hold the red zone could invalidate the setup and shift focus back toward the lower liquidity area near 24,700. Bias: Bullish continuation on confirmed retest Entry: Break and retest of 25,150–25,270 Target: 26,100–26,200 Invalidation: Below 25,000

Powell Signals the End of QT — Relief Rally or the Calm Before?First, let’s look at the key points from Powell’s remarks at the 67th Annual Meeting of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE): * The future path of monetary policy will depend on the assessment of data and risks. * The balance sheet remains a vital tool of monetary policy. * Fed officials will discuss the composition of the balance sheet. * Balance sheet reduction (QT) could come to an end in the coming months. * Inflation remains on an upward trajectory. * The labor market shows signs of notable downside risks. From this set of statements, my conclusion is that if the Fed and Powell start speaking more decisively about ending QT and halting balance sheet reduction, it would be highly significant. It would indicate that the Fed is becoming increasingly concerned about the future of the labor market — and likely signals more aggressive and deeper rate cuts ahead. Halting the balance sheet reduction while simultaneously cutting rates could provide some support to the U.S. economy and ease pressure on equities and financial markets. However, if QT is paused but unemployment continues to rise, we should expect a sharp downturn in financial and equity markets. Overall, given Powell’s dovish tone, my trading bias remains bearish, unless a strong technical reversal emerges. That said, the U.S.–China trade tensions currently carry even greater importance in shaping market direction.

NQ Range (10-06-25, Week 2)Churning in the Churn Zone, back at Mid Level (ML) of range. Watch the 2 yellow dash levels, break to upper/lower churn range is redirect or counter move. Example, White arrow range play stall at 425 should reject to start or lower yellow arrow. Reverse that should NAZ drop to the start or yellow arrow (unless it is the big one). Still favoring the SHORT side and not chasing any upward moves. Go Fed, Tweets, Next Stimulus, Wash ST Capital Management & Margin Services, etc. Just seems like the lift on fumes is good set up for the counter move (if you can play that, example Wash St Hedge Fund). Ya think? No, why not?
