Seasonality: August in a midterm year tends to be choppy/flat-to-negative August, elevated volatility running into the fall, with the worst of the pullback tending to resolve before year-end — followed by the strongest 12 months of the whole four-year cycle in the year after the midterm.

There’s also a well-known pattern (cited by Carson Investment Research and others) that the deeper drawdowns typical of midterm years often bottom out around August, ahead of a rally into and after the election.

Should I be trading: A big sell off yesterday due to rate concerns and US paying the most amount paid to borrow money, many charts need to repair yesterdays damage, some still look good but need to see if this is a blip or something bigger.

EP9 is main focus with strong cat.

$META long 30/07/2026

Entry price – 529.71

SL – 523

Risk – 6 bucks 71 cents

Time of entry – 15:05

Catalyst / setup – SIP (stock in play): Gapping down 9% after earnings, the earnings we’re actually quite good but skewed by “The miss was driven by $2.40 billion in charges “related to legal proceedings” and $1.18 billion in severance tied to the May 2026 layoff of ~8,000 employees.”

“The headline “miss” is almost entirely an optics function of two disclosed, non-recurring charges. Strip them out and the quarter’s underlying profitability would have modestly beaten consensus. This is a textbook case of EPS optics requiring decomposition before drawing a conclusion about operational deterioration.”

Based on the above low risk entry expecting it to get bought. Catalyst news related gap down probably over done.

Result – Closed, scaled 50% after 1% move at @ 535.48 and another 50% @ 538.40, didn’t reach 2% scale by the close but as 24 hour market scaled early as after hours markets can be choppy.

Runner stopped 18/08/2026 @ 14:27 at 557.21 approx +120% profit.

$DRAM long 18/08/2026

Entry price – Trade 1: 56.89 Trade 2: 55.6

SL – Trade 1: 56.10 (LOD) Trade 2: 54.80

Risk – Trade 1: 79 cents Trade 2: 80 cents

Time of entry – Trade 1: 14:54 BST Trade 2: 16:34 BST

21 ADR – 3.07

Catalyst / setup – Large gap down due to credit news in super cycle sector, thought was over done, looking for a recovery. Didn’t happen but this morning opened up +6% so thesis was right but too early.

Result – Trade 1: stopped at 56.08 -100% Trade 2: stopped at 54.80 -100%

Notes – I front ran trade 1 expecting buying to come in at the open in shortly after and got stopped out shortly after. Trade 2 was textbook trade waiting for price to cross above 10 sma with bullish MACD.

$SPOT short 05/08/2026

Entry price – Trade 1: 495.05, Trade 2: 496.43

SL – Trade 1: 498.25, Trade 2: 500.25

Risk – Trade 1: 3.20, Trade 2: 3.82

Time of entry – Trade 1: 15:32 BST Trade 2: 15:57 BST

21 ADR – 18.33

Catalyst / setup – Earnings miss opened approx 6% down, WSS setup below all MAs and a declining 200 sma

Consensus had already been trimmed heading in — Zacks flagged a 2.9% cut to the Street EPS estimate in the 30 days before the print (from ~€3.27 toward the ~€2.80 that was ultimately missed), meaning the bar was already moving down. The actual miss still slipped below even that lowered bar, but the direction of the surprise (soft EPS, margin strength) was not new information to the market.

The pattern of “beat/strong-margin quarter followed by a cautious growth guide” has now repeated: Q1 2026 saw a >12% share decline despite a strong beat, on guidance caution. This is the second consecutive quarter of that same dynamic, which makes it a confirmation of an already-recognized pattern rather than new information about the business.

Result – Trade 1: 1st arrow on the 5 min chart I front ran a bearish MACD cross and got stopped out for 1pt / 100% loss. Trade 2: 2nd arrow on the 5 min chart bearish MACD cross, closed 50% on a approx 1% move at 491.69 (16:34 BST), didnt get the 2% move during normal market hours so too another 50% off at 488.21 (20:37 BST) as 24 hour markets can be very choppy so risk management. Overnight it went past the 2% so took another 33% off at 483.10 (06/08/2026 06:13), remainder left as runner.

Trade 2: 06/08/26 20:50 – Scaled 50% of runner @ 475.28

Trade 2: 10/08/26 14:01 – Runner stopped out @ 495.19

Trade 1 closed -100%

Trade 2 closed approx +200%

Takeways –

Front ran the 1st trade as I had to go out, never front run, if setup is not there with the relevant conditions always skip the trade
