Pure Market Chaos

TODAY'S GAIN: -$40,000

My posted, REAL-TIME TRADES WERE... The opposite of good :(

I was a little too cocky from my gain last week. I wasn't reading the price action well. And to top it all off, I was too slow in letting go of my losers. As you can imagine when you put all of these ingredients together, it makes a pretty horrible tendie dish.

Piper's Picks

A BULLISH signal, 3/5 strength, was generated at 10:20am ET by Piper. The signal was used with various advanced options strategies to score (don't worry, I'll teach you every aspect of the strategy).Both of these trades hit if held until close -- 2 total units!

SPY Return: +$15 (+100%) per $85 signal cost

QQQ Return: +$8 (+100%) per $92 signal cost

Total Return: +$23 (+100%) -- This could easily be scaled per $177 signal cost

 

Thicc Matt's Personal Trades

Trade One: 30 SPX 5125 Puts (Degen Yolo)Even though this trade was a huge loss, I don't hate it. I waited for a smalled timeframe reversion to once againg align with the overall trend. The entry doesn't bother me at all. I ended up being early, which is going to happen a lot the more you trade. My issue was the oversizing, which prompted me to holder onto this loser longer than I should have. By the time everything settled, my average entry was $17.97/ea, and my average exit was $4.31/ea -- This means my realized loss was $40,970.

 

Trade Two: 4 NDX 18,500 Calls (Revenge Degen Yolo) In an effort to make my loss back quickly, I made to stupid decision to revenge trade. Fortunately, this one didn't cost me anything. I got lucky. My average entry was $130.00/ea, and my average exit was $135.00/ea -- This means my REALIZED GAIN WAS $2,000.

 

Trade Three: 30 x SPX 5200/5195 Put Credit Spread (Scalp Strategy Trade) I'm not sure what in the world I was thinking, but I randomly decided to excute my normal scalp strategy today. It was illogical and clearly cost me. My average entry was $1.50/ea, and my average exit was $2.10/ea -- This means my realized loss was $1,200.

 

Trade Four: 6 NDX 17,000 Puts (Reasonable Trend Swing Trade)I'm a fan of this trade, but it has not been closed out. It's up to the Market Gods if I make money or not. Godspeed.

 

Trade One Return: -$40,970

Trade Two Return: +$2,000

Trade Three Return: -$1,200

Trade Four Return: Unknown

Total Return: -$40,170 (before fees)

Time To Be Bearish?! || Goonie Newsletter
Goonie Newsletter (November 24th - 28th)

Time To Be Bearish?!

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -1.95
  • Nasdaq 100: -3.07% 
  • Russel 2000: -0.84%
  • Bitcoin: -9.98%

Last week, the market spent time bouncing between AI-fueled excitement and tech-led panic. Monday opened weak as Nvidia and other mega-cap names dragged the major indexes lower. Midweek, strong earnings from Nvidia and Walmart provided a brief spark, but valuation worries quickly took over and sent tech sharply lower on Thursday. A small Friday rebound helped stabilize things, though the S&P and Nasdaq still finished the week in the red.

The macro calendar delivered plenty of noise thanks to the post-shutdown data backlog. Early in the week, regional manufacturing and homebuilder sentiment reminded traders that parts of the economy are still cooling. Wednesday’s FOMC minutes didn’t change the broader outlook, while Thursday’s jobless claims showed a labor market that’s slowly losing momentum. By Friday, a wave of delayed releases—payrolls, durable goods, inventories, personal income and spending, confidence surveys, and housing data—painted a mixed picture. Consumers are still spending, but overall sentiment remains shaky.

Looking ahead to next week, the schedule thins out but still has key checkpoints. Tuesday brings fresh readings on consumer confidence and business inventories. Wednesday packs the bigger punch with the next GDP estimate, the advance durable goods report, and the latest personal income and PCE inflation data. Markets close Thursday for Thanksgiving and shut early on Friday, so expect thin liquidity, and potentially outsized reactions if any midweek data surprises. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
