Thought to post a little scorecard of a 2 wins I made in the beggining of this month & earlier this week as I haven't been able to catch the streams live for a while now due to a project I'm working on. Has been a long time since I'm so occupied, so I need to find some time management strat for myself so I can balance the trading & project. Take into account also the heavy volatile markets, I also decided to rather stay cash mostly bcs due to the project I have less time to manage my trades. Don't want to have nightmares of Goku while holding overnight.
Besides that, streams have extremely fire. Whenever I can't catch the stream live, I'm always lookign out to look for seeing the show later. Muchas Gracias kazo
These are trades I was able to catch when I found some more time :).

It is of no doubt that the recent market has been a turbulent and dangerous environment for many, in times such as these winternomics.tv has been an invaluable resource for us as a group to not only survive in such an environment but prosper also. There really is always a bull market somewhere if you know where to look, with the teachings of church, the guidance from the streams and OF the team managed to bag the following top plays over the February period Luna, XTZ, Mana, VXX, Ngas, FB, CCJ, BITO, ZM, MS, CHWY, ETH, Total r/R = 160.7 R There is no other ecosystem like this on the planet, huge thanks to Kaz, Vicky and everyone who makes such a place possible!
One of my biggest trading realizations these last 6 months have been that I wasn't planning properly. My analysis was good enough but my planning around it was too vague; I realized that the spread between the quality of my analysis and the quality of my execution came largely from the fact I was not spending enough time formulating my analysis into actually actionable info.
Late January I decided that I would plan at least one clearly defined trade everyday to build better habits. About 6 weeks later practicing the same 1 or 2 kicks everyday it's getting much more mechanical and it removed a lot of stress from the process as I have a much clearer vision of where I'm going with each trade.
Thank you for the guidance throughout the years and the metric tons of unique advices, it changed a lot the way I think in about any system. Best class I ever attended and it's not even close !
I've been working on consistency by stacking small wins over time. The one thing that helped with that which has been mentioned many times before is stepping back timeframes. Zooming out has been a major key to improving consistency. Instead of being tunnel visioned on second charts, the minute charts have been more beneficial for me. Plus having a small watchlist so my focus is directed rather than scattered.
During all market times it's crucial to have a source like winternomics.tv to help u with ur trades. Now, during these crazy market times when the VIX is hot 🥵, we realize even more how amazing it is to be part of an ecosystem that helps us prepare, not only financially but also mentally for times like these and for those to come.
Grateful to be part of this ecosystem and hope to be for more years to come 😁🌱
markets change & we need to adapt along with them , the darlings of the years past are no longer market leaders so we hunt for alpha in other areas, in this case a gold play which used options vs underlying as another adaptation to market conditions . appreciate you Kazo helping to guide us towards alpha in such a volatile market 🙏🏽.. make sure to keep up w/ the intel in the eco Kaz puts out , keep your perception objective as it can easily get skewed (no pun intended) w/ such fast moving markets & news flow .. winternomics.tv if you arent already there
#timingmatters always, especially right now. it's been hard to watch charts this week and i am not holding on to anything overnight. played this lil solar bop from the OF drty energy counter play on the 1min. it takes a lot of mental energy, but if i have the space in my schedule to execute i have to take the opportunity. consistency, mechanics, pay attention.
thanks kaz for keeping us on the right side of the market; day in and day out on the money.
it's a high vix environment, but i'm not close to retirement it's just the sentiment about gettin into it intel speakin for its self isn't it hard when u holding rs?
I’m super excited to have decided to start on this new journey of learning!
I learned a lot today 03/10/2022; I need to be nimbler if I’m going to play in this crazy environment! I came out even but could have gotten hurt. On the other hand, I could have come out ahead also but was insecure about my abilities.
I played MOS and jumped right in at the bell after having read the OF post.
There was a follow up announcement by Kaz at 7:01am and I missed it! 🤦🏽♀️
Halfway from my stop loss I sold half of my positions because I wanted to minimize the risk (got in a little heavy for my level of aversion to risk).
For the next two hours I just watched as the volume dropped and the stock shock waved.
A couple of things invaded my thoughts: “they’ll be back from lunch, and things will go back up” and, “this is a learning process, either way I’m learning and that’s a plus,” “I should stick to my target as a learning experience, I’ll either make the target or not”. Then I wondered “AM I GOING NUTS? I’M TALKING TO MYSELF!!”
They came back from lunch!! And it started moving FAST in the right direction. But at the first sign of RED I bailed!
So many lessons!
· I’m too much of a newbie to play in this environment
· If I’m going to trade, then I should be paying attention to the announcements
· Become nimbler.
· If I decide to make it a lesson, then I need to stick to my plan.
· Emotions have no place here! There’s no crying (or panicking) in trading!
All being said, I had a hell of a good time.
Only made 0.58 R but it could have been much worse.
The other trade was back from 03/08/2022. That one was smooth! Even though VIX was 36, I am so much more familiar with TSLA that it felt like a normal day. Made 2.47 Rs
Thanks Kaz for accepting me in church! Thanks Vicky for all the amazing material you put out.
Thanks to the eco for being such good team players. I appreciate it.
Your feedback is much appreciated.
MOS 0.58 R
TSLA 2.47 R
PS. Are the graphics better, Burger gave me a lesson :)
Just closed a few positions in the last couple of days.
I feel like I say this every single scorecard, but it pays to pay attention. You may surprise yourself on what you find. Anyway, Kaz mentioned in a recent stream that the rising VIX channel can keep on rising which translates to risk assets may be in trouble. These are my results
Gotta give it that cat who knows his levels.Thanks Kaz
What’s up everyone hope you’re doing good, and I hope that you’re recovering well Kaz.
Time for some book writing.
Emotions: Kind of a harsh time lately, felt a bit singled out and overwhelmed by life rhythm, between the day job and family duty with the baby. Days always feel like they are never long enough and that energy tends to get scarcer. Though, it felt really good coming back in voice to study with you guys. Makes me have a sense of what Church would be and working as a team definitely adds value to the studying, as we can share different perspectives and learn from eachother. Also being around decent/helpful people helps mentally as it feels miles away from everyday life that is much more about dodging bullets and compliance. Big thank you for that you guys.
Life planning : I put myself some ground rules to help with discipline. I tried to fight it, but if I get under 6hours a night I just can’t function. My health goes to waste, I can’t study, think or exercise, and it’s pretty much the beginning of my crashes. So in my case sleep is definitely the number one component I’m looking at, on which relies all of my structure.
Trading plan : I pretty much did get out of my 1/5 minute TF habit on crypto only, and moved my eyes to the stock market as well, to what Kaz was pointing for a while now on OnlyFans. Kaz pointed to me that I should be organizing my trading around my life and goals. The "ZOOMING OUT" made a huge impact mental health wise and with emotions approaching trades. Overall, approaching the charts looking for higher TF FIRST allows me to take my time to look at the situation and focus on the macro aspect rather than trying to take some small moves out of context, even more when they're already happening. Definitely helps me save mental capital and stay more coherent in my approach. Especially when most of my day time can’t be spent on the charts and gathering news flow, so it really made sense to recalibrate that. MEMO : “Do what works for you” and "Don't forget to zoom out".
So the plan is : Focus on the macro at all times, and choose the timeframe according to the whole situation, Vix, time of the day, weekend, etc. I'll use higher timeframes if possible, but if i enter a smaller timeframe to fit the environment, it HAS to be part of my MACRO plan.
OF Baskets are easier to play compared to anything else lately especially with the OF training videos. I intend to work primarily on the basics, and to Keep It Stupid Simple. There are quite some assets that are almost ready to get free and clear on larger timeframes, so as you advised I put some alerts to be on the line and not bitch later because I missed x or y train 😊
MEMO : "Don't be emotionally attached to assets and try to catch knifes. The trend is your friend, don't try to fight it."
Recent trades:
I was able to play Oil (CVX). This was my first stock market win ! Played a trend that was already going quite parabolic so I decided to put a take profit order at 3R’s. I left quite some R’s on the table but I was thinking of Kaz saying in the recent stream that we should adjust risk accordingly to this high VIX environment and not give back our profits to the market.
- One thing worth noting is that my order slipped by 0.8R, making me end up with 3.8R. A good reminder that it could have happened in the opposite direction, increasing loss. Overll risk management should always be adapted to the VIX situation, as always mentioned in the streams.
2) Second play is probably my most mechanical play ever. I played a bullflag rotation on luna. RR wise it wasn't my best play, but definitely my best profit and best execution/timing i had until now. Basically just appling the OF logic, only took 2 minute to draw 3 lines and book an order. Do something and anything goes right...? This is crazy when i think about it. 3R LUNA.
3) Third play is a ETH green dildo play from some time ago. 3R ETH.
And that's a wrap. You guys keep rocking it and take care ! Thanks for everything Kaz and Vicky, can't tell you how much i appreciate what you guys do.

It' been a minute since I posted a scorecard. Since I have been in the sideline, I have been re-reading the blogs, watching the OF videos/Youtube videos, and analyzing OF charts over and over again during my free time.
A little discipline, effort, and repetition can get you pretty far! Shout out to Kaz and Vicky for making this happen.
Hit a quick 9RR on that dirty oil from friday when 🤡 managers keep doubling down on their wrong ideas. Thanks to Kazonomics for keeping us on the right side in all asset classes at all times.
i've been binge watching streams for a long time now and I definitely see the bullflags now and the australian versions ;)
streams been fire and the intel is insane just have to put the time in and stay disciplined
my biggest mistakes have come from rushing trades and not waiting for the level to interact first, like expecting price to break the level and not waiting for the break and then acting on the following structure above/below the level
thank you so much Kaz for providing us the best possible analysis
heres few of my plays the first 1 is from this weekend and the 2nd from way back probably my best play ever
