Market Insight: Liberation Day – The Shock Heard ‘Round the Market

Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs dropped like a bomb — 10% baseline on all imports, 54% on Chinese goods.

Markets reeled.

The Nasdaq futures sank over 2.5%, with the S&P down 1.7% and the Dow off 0.7%, all reacting to the sudden escalation in trade tension.

Investors are holding their breath…

Strategy: What Implied Volatility Is Really Telling You

When markets get choppy like this, the VIX (aka the "fear gauge") tends to spike — and that often sends traders running for the exits.

But here's what many miss:

Implied volatility is actually a contrarian indicator.

When implied volatility hits extreme highs, it’s usually because investors are panicking and options are pricing in maximum fear.

But historically, those spikes tend to mark turning points.

Mindset: Every Champion Has a Coach. Do You?

Think LeBron just winged it to greatness?

In trading, just like in sports, a coach isn’t a luxury — it’s a weapon.

Studies show traders who work with mentors or coaches cut their learning curve in half, stay more disciplined and bounce back faster after losses.

Whether it's your first year trading or your fifth, don’t go it alone.

A good coach gives you perspective, helps you course-correct, and keeps you in the game when emotions run high.
