Trading Recap Focus Video
Today’s recap features a textbook Fast Ball expansion range trade in A.O. Smith (AOS) taken directly from the Around the Horn trading plan. While not as flashy as trading the high-volatility names, this setup illustrates the core methodology we teach at Boot Camp and apply every day in the War Room. With a clearly defined entry, stop, target, and mechanical trade management rules, the position progressed exactly as planned—moving to breakeven at the halfway mark and ultimately reaching its profit target. This example highlights how disciplined execution of structured setups can produce consistent results across all market conditions.

Market Recap: What Drove Price Action Today
U.S. equities finished modestly lower today, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling roughly half a percent, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also slipped as investors digested mixed economic data and rising Treasury yields. The focus remained squarely on the Magnificent Seven — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms, and Tesla — which were mixed to weaker on the session and continued to drive much of the Nasdaq’s tone. With yields firming and traders reassessing near-term rate expectations, leadership in mega-cap tech showed some fatigue, keeping broader index gains in check and reinforcing a more selective, rotational tape beneath the surface.
