Gang, let’s talk about this week.

It was nasty out there.

The Nasdaq? Down 4.3% in just five days, its worst month since September 2023.

The S&P 500? Down 1.8% for the week, and it’s on track for its biggest monthly drop in nearly a year.

Even the semiconductor sector got absolutely wrecked, with Nvidia leading the way lower after earnings. It was chaos, no doubt about it.

But you know what? I had over a dozen winning trades this week.

And here’s the kicker – I did it all live, with hundreds of people watching during my Free Daily Profits Live Open House.

So, how did I manage to pull it off in a market that was setting up traders to fail?

It wasn’t luck, I can tell you that much. It came down to having a plan, sticking to it, and focusing on what works when everything else is falling apart.

Let me break it down for you.

Shorter Time Frames Saved the Day

Here’s the deal: when the market is trending lower like it was this week, you don’t want to get cute trying to catch the bottom. Instead, you need to adjust your game plan.

I focused on shorter time frames.

Now, that doesn’t mean I was blindly throwing money around. The truth is, even in a brutal market like this one, there are still opportunities to buy the dips. But you’ve got to be quick and precise.

For example, check out some of the trades I made this week:

• ADP Calls: +25% in 14 minutes

• TSLA 2/28 $350 Calls: +25% in 1 hour, 24 minutes

Taking Profits Quickly

This week, the rallies were being sold just as fast as they started. If you overstayed your welcome, you were toast.

That’s why I was laser-focused on taking profits quickly. I wasn’t trying to hit home runs – I was just stacking singles and doubles, over and over again.

Take my META 2/28 $680 Call trade, for example.

• I locked in a 26% gain in just 20 minutes.
• That’s not a huge move, but it’s a win. And in a week like this, stacking small wins adds up.

Or how about CAVA 2/28 $91 Call?

• I made 50% on that trade in just 3 minutes.
• That’s right – 3 minutes.

This week wasn’t about swinging for the fences. It was about knowing when to get in, when to get out, and not getting greedy.

Risk Management: The Real MVP

If you’ve spent any time with me, you know I’m all about risk management. And this week, it was more important than ever.

Here’s how I managed risk:

1. Defined Risk on Every Trade: Before I entered a single position, I knew exactly how much I was willing to lose. No guessing, no hoping.
2. Small Position Sizes: I didn’t put all my eggs in one basket. Instead, I spread out my trades, making sure no single loss could wreck my week.
3. Scaling In: I didn’t go all-in on any trade. Instead, I started small and left room to add. That way, if the market kept dropping, I could take advantage of better prices instead of getting crushed.

For example, with Alphabet (GOOGL), I bought calls out to March when it hit a key level-minus 3 ATR. Historically, that’s been a great place for Alphabet to bounce. But I didn’t go all-in. I left room to add, and that flexibility kept me calm while the market was panicking.

Some of My Biggest Trades This Week

Here are a few of the trades I’m most proud of from this week:

• RILY 2/28 $4.50 Calls: +112% in 30 minutes
• RILY 3/21 $5 Calls: +100% in 2 hours, 26 minutes
• RILY 2/28 $5 Calls: +100% in 1 hour, 30 minutes
• CAVA 2/28 $94 Calls: +72% in 9 minutes

These weren’t flukes. These were high-probability setups that I’ve seen play out time and time again.

What You Can Learn From This Week

If there’s one thing I want you to take away from this week, it’s this: you can thrive in any market – if you have the right mindset and strategy.

Here’s what worked for me:

1. Adapt to the Market: When the market is this volatile, you’ve got to adjust your strategy. Shorter time frames and quick profits are the way to go.
2. Manage Your Risk: Know your risk on every trade, size your positions appropriately, and never over leverage.
3. Leave Room to Add: Don’t try to nail the perfect bottom. Start small, and give yourself the flexibility to add if the trade moves against you.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

Look, gang, this week was one for the books. The market was ugly, no doubt about it. But that doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines or take big losses.

By sticking to my strategy, managing my risk, and staying disciplined, I was able to crush it this week – and I did it all live in front of hundreds of people.

If you’ve been struggling with this market, don’t sweat it.

These kinds of weeks happen, but they don’t last forever. The key is to stay focused, stay disciplined, and keep learning.

FUN FACT FRIDAY

While this was the worst week in the stock market in 2025, it’s far from the worst we’ve ever seen. Here are a few historically brutal weeks that make this one look tame:

• October 10, 2008: During the height of the Great Financial Crisis, the S&P 500 plunged 18.2% in a single week, marking the worst week since 1933.
• March 20, 2020: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the S&P 500 dropped 15% in just one week as global markets spiraled into panic.
• Black Monday Week, October 1987: The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 12.8% in one week, fueled by the infamous 22.6% drop on Black Monday itself.
• September 17, 2001: Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the S&P 500 fell 11.6%, one of the steepest weekly declines in modern history.

While this week’s losses were tough, history shows that markets have endured far worse – and always found a way to recover.
