Whether you're here to stay informed, to learn, or to explore investing in a low-risk portfolio that's profitable even during market declines, you've come to the right place. Let's dive straight into last week's insights. I was long $EURUSD (EUR/USD) . As you can see - the direction of the trade was really good: looking at the strong rise in the euro after the opening of our trade. However, this trade was closed with a stop loss at break-even. I did this on purpose. In these times of extreme volatility on the Forex markets, strict SL management is more important than potential profits "if you are right". Our second trade in $TRN.MI (Terna SPA) is on its way to closing the downside gap created during the tariff shock. Sure - the downside gap is not pretty. However, the trade is in a healthy state, below break-even, and from a technical point of view the indicators make me stay in this trade as the opportunities outweigh the risks. As a side effect, as this asset is traded in EUR - this also helps the upside of the position. Attached screenshot shows the trade-setup. I wanted to give the market some time last week to find more clarity. We saw a few days of rallying while overall the $SPX500 (SPX500 Index (Non Expiry)) is clearly in a downtrend. Trading these markets is extremely risky! Volatility is very high. News move the markets unpredictably in both directions. This is how my trading approach works: Do not invest in the general markets! Keep a large part of your portfolio in cash. Trade only in selected stocks that have proven to outperform the rest of the markets. Trade a limited portion of the portfolio. Adhere to tight stop losses (and not get distracted by volatility that might end a trade too soon). Keep the trade open for few days only (limiting the time-risk). This week I have several title on my watch list. Some of them are ready for immediate execution. However, it is also important to understand that prices may rise to such an extent that one has the "feeling" of being too late and entering a stock at too high a price. This is why it is so important to have always defined a clear entry price (and stop loss) before entering a position and before the market opens. This is the price you are prepared to pay for the trade. If the price is higher - then do not enter the trade. Stick to your plan and strategy. There is nothing more frustrating than starting a trade with the wrong setup and then watching it fail from there. Let us stay focused these days. Keep emotions and guesses out. I am ready and wish you a good trading week ahead. BR Constantin
