Following The Plan - 04/07/26

When headlines get loud and emotions run high, there's only one thing that keeps you grounded: the plan.

In today's episode, we break down the latest war developments and a grim social media post from Donald Trump that rattled sentiment. Markets reacted—but not always in ways that make sense on the surface.

That's where discipline comes in.

I'll walk you through the changes I've made to the TraderMerlin portfolio, why those adjustments matter, and how sticking to a rule-based strategy helps cut through the noise when uncertainty is elevated.

We'll also dive into viewer questions on the biggest current market movers—equities, commodities, and crypto—and how to approach them without getting pulled into emotional decision-making.

Because at the end of the day, success in trading isn't about predicting every move…
It's about consistently following your process.
