Before you take another trade, watch this


I went live yesterday with a Squeeze Traps training that covered something you're probably experiencing right now.

How many times lately have you watched a "perfect" setup reverse on you?

The breakout looked textbook. The technical entry felt right. Headlines backed the move. Momentum confirmed it.

Then it trapped you.

There's a specific reason this is happening more frequently, and yesterday's session breaks it all down.

Here's what's creating these traps:

Commodities are rallying. Precious metals pushing higher. The narrative feels bullish everywhere you look.

But when I analyzed the option markets yesterday, they're telling a completely different story. They're not showing any enthusiasm for new highs.

And this is where the historical pattern gets critical — commodities have a track record of rallying strongly right before recessions hit.

That means the trade that looks perfect today could be a trap tomorrow.

Watch this replay and you'll learn how to spot the difference before you enter.

I walked through:

  • How to distinguish real pressure-backed moves from mirages that are about to reverse
  • Why squeeze pressure tells you more than price action ever will
  • How these traps form specifically in commodity-driven volatility
  • Live examples: VFC delivered 100% in one day, VZ gave us 94%

Those trades worked because we identified the pressure building before price made it obvious to everyone else.

This isn't about adding another indicator or strategy to your approach.

It's about developing the most profitable skill in today's market: knowing when NOT to take the trade.

With commodities moving like this, with recession signals flashing, with volatility spiking — this is the skill that separates profitable traders from everyone else getting trapped.

Watch it before your next trade. You'll see setups completely differently.

P.S. Once you understand how Squeeze Traps work, you can't unsee them. Every setup you look at tomorrow will be clearer. That's worth 45 minutes tonight.
