Trading: My missed Nasdaq trade when Trump sparked a market rally

16min | 03/27/2026

Description

Trading, frustration, and timing: I recount my evening on the Nasdaq, waiting in ambush at my 740-750 zone while the market slowly slid into an 'ideal' scenario... until a statement from Donald Trump around 9:10 PM caused indices to spike rapidly. I caught a small piece of the rally and quickly cashed out because it was too tense and highly volatile, choosing not to revenge trade through scalping. Afterward, I review the key zones, the Iran/US news, and risk management ahead of the weekend. Subscribe if this helps.
