Markets aggressively dropping then forming V-shaped recovery. Message sent 2-3 hours before market open from account (not 100% sure): US president says strongest military force in world may be struck so hard it cannot get up again. Tension between Iran and US creating market uncertainty. Pre-market in red but not significant; gapped up forming bull trap then tanked during live trading session. LPP team enjoyed live session (second link in description).

As markets sold off, shorted by going long on MSTZ (inverse ETF to MSTR, double leverage; not for beginners—leverage, shorting, inverse ETFs risky). Bought dip on MSTR: 50 shares, $6,500 position, up $200. No MSTR investor holding since original pump to $500 highs is in green; all down after adding at overbought levels. Average price on 50 shares better than any MSTR bag holder past 1-2 years. LPP team likes poking fun at this.

Big move: MSTZ. Took profits as MSTR consolidated at overbought levels (not perfect, but decent). Markets always one tweet from recovery. Reduced MSTZ position, took profits crossing $1410 highs. Markets corrected; MSTR recovered, MSTZ sold off—reopened/added to MSTZ long.

MSTR testing previous highs; QQQ testing previous highs. Not assuming rejection—MSTR/Markets can push higher on news. Iran-US general agreement removes uncertainty, causing recovery. Still opinion: testing previous resistance; favorable risk-reward. Do not copy trade. If goes north, manage risk on MSTZ. MSTZ at ~$1350 offers 6-6.5% upside potential, <2% downside risk (>3:1 ratio based on success rate). Worth it based on previous setups. Position: >4,000 shares, light at $6,700; up $68 (reopened recently, total day ~$300-400). Leverage means greater risk—respect with smaller position size. Conservative/non-leveraged trades allow larger size. Every trade unique—not same position size.
