Video summary
The video captures a live trading session from the Stock Swoosh Show on September 21, 2026, set against a backdrop of significant global uncertainty involving potential Trump visits to China and upcoming UN meetings. The host begins by expressing caution about the volatile market conditions, noting that while there were no shorting opportunities initially, the focus quickly shifts to aggressive long positions in Nvidia (NVDA) and QCOM. Despite the chaotic atmosphere described as resembling a "Twilight Zone" due to conflicting market signals and political events, the trader emphasizes the importance of sticking to established plans rather than reacting impulsively to every market fluctuation. The session highlights a strategy of patience mixed with aggression, where the trader waits for specific price levels before entering trades, acknowledging that missing a setup is preferable to jumping in prematurely.
A central theme of the discussion revolves around managing risk through strict stop-loss orders and position sizing, particularly given the high valuations of current market assets. The host repeatedly warns viewers not to "jump the gun" on entries, citing specific price targets such as 730 for Nvidia and emphasizing that if a trade does not set up correctly, one should be willing to walk away or revert to watching without trading. There is a strong preference for holding existing options positions rather than exiting them early, with the trader advising that if an investor is already in these stocks, they should let the profits run despite the market's erratic behavior over the past month. The commentary also touches on the unusual low volume of the week, which the host attributes to various factors including holidays and traffic concerns, suggesting that this environment requires a lighter touch with day trading to avoid unnecessary stress.
As the session progresses, the trader successfully executes a trade on Nvidia after the stock pushes through key resistance levels around 729 and eventually clears the 730 mark, validating the aggressive entry strategy discussed earlier. The host celebrates the successful trade as a "beautiful" and "solid" execution, noting that even those who did not follow along in real-time could still consider entering at slightly lower prices like 75 or 80 with the same stop-loss parameters. The narrative underscores the importance of adapting to market conditions without forcing trades, especially when political headlines dominate the news cycle. By the end of the clip, the trader expresses satisfaction with the outcome but remains cautious about future moves, indicating that while the current setup was excellent, the overall market environment remains expensive and unpredictable.
In conclusion, the video serves as both a real-time trading log and a lesson in maintaining discipline during turbulent times. The host wraps up by reiterating that the primary goal for the week is to achieve a non-stressful, profitable experience through perfect setups rather than heavy-handed intervention. He mentions upcoming earnings reports and other market catalysts but promises not to be overly aggressive with day trades or options until the current volatility subsides. The final message encourages viewers to do whatever they feel comfortable with regarding their positions, reinforcing the idea that trading is personal and that there is no single right way to navigate a chaotic week filled with geopolitical news and technical price action.

Scary, scary times we're living in.
I don't know. Either the either the Q's
or Nidia. I'm on the fence here.
I'm on the fence.
Let's do Let's Let's watch Nidia first.
Yeah, I see no shorts either.
Target in this is 225.
Got it. Stop's going to be 50. And I
don't have the entry yet.
And if that changes, I'll let you know.
Yeah, that's going to change.
All right, flipping over here to the
cues.
Flipping over. Stop's going to be 50.
Let's do
Let's do 729 by 50. It's a good entry.
Let that Nvidia figure itself out.
Let's do 90.
90 by 50. It's a good entry here.
Target 730.
Don't jump the gun either.
Do not jump it.
Okay, we can do 80 80 by 50.
If I look away from this, we're going to
miss it. So 80 by 50. And if this
doesn't set up, go back to the video or
maybe we don't do anything today because
if we look off this, we will miss it. If
it goes, it's going to go quick. 80 is
valid.
I think we're going to get it.
Get it. Get it right now. You can be in
it. Get the stop in right now. It's
going to hit. You can be in it if you
want to be in it. This is aggressive.
Hold on. No, this isn't ready. All
right, here we go. Well, we didn't hit
80 yet, but I'm in it. Let's double
triple check our stop. I think we're
going to be fine. I think we're going to
be absolutely fine. We have the stop at
the right place. Here we go. If you
didn't do it, you could do it at 80 or
you could do it at 75.
I hit it. I was aggressive. Time of the
day is 9:32. Monday, UN week. Trump
going to China. A bazillion things this
week. It's going to be crazy in New York
this week. I'm not going anywhere that I
don't have to walk this week because of
the traffic. Here we go. It hit. It did
hit 80. You could be in it. Is anyone in
it with me or not?
You know what else I wanted to look at
quickly?
No. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
This could be the Nvidia right here. Uh,
this could be it. But the stop has to be
22150.
I don't want to do two things. I don't
want to on Monday
again. Jewish holiday today, but after
today, it'll be normal volume the rest
of the week and then we'll be in into
the fall trading into
the mix.
Barb's in it
again. stop is 72750
and do not give it any more room because
if that hits us out, it could fall all
the way down to 725.
So aggressive pays with the sizing
because if it's going to go, it's going
to go and if it's not going to go, you
can't stop it from not going and then
we'll look for another trade. But I
think this is well worth doing. And
Nvidia could be setting up now. I don't
want to do two things on a Monday.
You know, there were no shorts. As much
as I'd love to short, we're in shorts
now and longs for options. It's kind of
a crazy. That's why I said this is like
this is like
Twilight Zone or something. Twilight
Zone. We
Tony did. That's fine. We're in the
options in Deinia which look phenomenal.
And I would not get out of these at all
if you're in one. If you're in tune with
me, I would not even think of getting
out of them. That's my two cents.
So, do whatever you want to do. Um, but
that's the way the cookie crumbles.
Here we go. We're aggressive in this.
And you could have done this or you
could do the vinia. Tony did a vin
again. It was half a dozen one and the
other. Here we go. If you didn't do
this, do it at 75. Stops the same. Here
we go. Q's. One more push. One more
push. We got to get over 729 and then a
flurry up and then we're going to be
out. Still fast trades even though we're
long. I'm not trading all day today. I'm
not trading all day any day this week.
Was exhausting to do that last week.
Next year I'm going to have to remember.
Maybe I take two weeks off for Labor
Day, my birthday or something. I don't
know. Last week was a ridiculously low
volume week in the market. Um it didn't
even matter that we had the Fed day
here. You're either in this now or you
don't even care or don't want to do it.
But anyways, um it was just it was like
a it was like a nothing burger wait
because of the fact that it was hard,
you know.
So again, if you're in this stop, it's
22150.
I mean, if you want to do the day trade,
this is not too late. I mean, the
options, don't even think about getting
out of them.
Let that run up. Here we go. Q
Q.
When we're done here, we're going to
talk about a few things.
when we're done here today.
Kind of some housekeeping things we have
to discuss.
Time of the day is 9:36 and this is
trying to go trying to go trying to go
so badly.
Actually, is Trump talking at the UN? I
think he is. I think he is. Is he or
isn't he? Does anybody know?
Uh,
CVX
pretty much got off that. Like I said
the other day, you want to short this.
Is that what you're saying?
Again, I think this is like a just a
piece of crap here now because nothing's
going to happen with the war until after
the midterms. So like even I don't I
don't really I I mean I think this could
set up as a long again. So I don't
really want to short it. Not that it
can't fall today, but like look at the
volume here. It's like a nothing burger.
There goes Ninia.
There goes Ninia. Here we go. We're over
729. Here we go. One more push. One more
push. One more push. Flurrying again.
It's the Twilight Zone. We're going
long.
You have to play the music. Here we go.
Up to 7:30. Up to 7:30. Let Nvidia fly
like a bird, like the hawk.
While I much prefer to short, I still
can go long. When the When it's there,
it's there. We got to do it. What are we
going to do? Maybe we'll be going long
every day for the rest of the year. I
doubt it, but who knows? Here we are
over 7:30. Push, push, push, push, push.
meeting today. Talks tomorrow. Okay,
here we go. Over 7:30.
Trump talks tomorrow.
Yep. It's going to be Secret Service
everywhere in the city.
Everywhere.
72.
Well, it's not play with the market
gives you because the market has been
crapping for the last month. gapping up,
falling, gapping down, rallying dupa
doop doop doop doop. Again, we'll talk
about this when we're done in a couple
housekeeping issues, but today this is a
good bullish gap. I mean, it just is. We
could have done an option in this, but
we're in we're in stuff. We're in stuff.
And I think we just play the stuff we're
we have right now. I mean, we have a
couple earnings this week, and we're
going to get some other things this
week, but I am not going to be
heavy-handed this week in day trades or
options.
But we're going to just be tiptoeing
through the tulips like we're doing this
morning here so we can have a good, very
good, solid, nonstressful, productive,
profitable week. We want no stress this
week.
We want easy peasy,
perfect setups and everything. Perfect
gaps. That's all we're doing this week.
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here
we go. Here we go. Over 730 in a flurry.
We're going to get there. Is anyone
this? We're almost there. One more push.
One more push. One more push. Great call
here. Start out the week to Monday.
92.
Look how little
jerky this is here.
Shiny.
God, can you believe how the price of
the cues? I mean, the market's expensive
now. It's just expensive. I don't care
how you do it, how you trade it, how you
do it. This is expensive.
Here,
come on. Push, push, push, push, push.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
You could be out. I'm trying to get a
push. We got over 7:30 though.
08.
I could just take it here. But here,
this is what I want. Come on. Come on.
One more push.
Hold on. Watch when we're done. They're
over 10 there.
Ow. That's it. That is good enough. I
don't want to deal with anything else.
It was a good trade. Solid trade.
Beautiful trade. [applause] Good job. If
you did not trade with me, I still think
it could continue. I still think it
could keep going. Do whatever you want
to do.
