You can sign-up, open an account and fund it at Striker to get ready as we near the Fall which historically brings up chaos and higher volatility - exactly what ORB was designed for.

This version is called ORB Plus (ORB+) v4.98 due to its new + improved features. 

Original HA ORB v1.0 was first launched exactly 4 years ago, in August of 2021, and has been in continuous use in our #NQ_F Chatroom only.

Market Commentary for Wednesday, August 27, 2025, by Peter Cook

We continue to see anticipation show itself ahead of #NVDA earnings.  You could tell people were piling in yesterday afternoon with the one-way rally we got into the close. 

#MDB reported earnings and it's up 30% - that's got software stocks moving.  #DDOG is another one to watch in sympathy to #MDB. 

There is light economic data today, so we should trade pretty technically - the drift up into the earnings anticipation is here.  Asia was weak last night with China down 2% and Japan down 1%.  Even Poland is off this morning.  The US Dollar is rallying too. 

I'll be pressing longs intraday today into the #NVDA anticipation, looking for support at the 0DTE Implied Lows if we get some long setups.  Remember, I mentioned #NVDA typically sells from the Open of Tomorrow to the Close tomorrow, most of the earnings move will happen on the gap up or down after hours.  The gap up will have a tendency to want to be monetized / profits locked in and a gap down will cause a panic with trapped longs and chunky hedging from a week or two ago still present in the Open Interest.

All the best;

We are kind of treading water into #NVDA earnings Wednesday after the bell.  Implied move is like 6% or so, which isn't too bad for that stock.  I notice some heavy hedging and retail looks to be a little nervous about whether or not Jenson can deliver the goods (AGAIN).  I have no real edge trading earnings until they actually come out.  The one tendency that does exist for #NVDA is to actually sell from the Open to the Close on the next morning after the afternoon announcement, so there is that.  0DTE Puts might print on the morning after. 

Durable Goods was pretty good here this morning.  We like to see that, and it would be nice to see some decent economic data for a change. 

The Dallas Fed did their survey yesterday morning and it was great.  They asked businesses some nice questions on Tariff implementation and when they were going to raise prices. Here is the kind of summary:

• Prices paid continues to rise, indicating continued, persistent price #Inflation for businesses because of the #Tariffs.  It increased 2 more points this time around. 
• Prices received continues to rise, indicating businesses are continuing to pass through the costs of #Tariffs.  This increased 4 points (double what Prices Paid did).  Businesses are passing more Tariff costs onto the consumer. 
• 71.6% of businesses said they were seeing negative impacts due to the #Tariffs, that's a lot.
• 63.6% of businesses say they have passed the costs onto customers and ~62% of them say they will pass either the entire cost or most of the cost of the #Tariff onto their customers.  
• 78.6% of businesses say they don't expect any more funny business with #Tariffs for the rest of the year, the storm has passed they say.

This is very useful information because if Tariff stuff becomes a thing again, we'll see businesses surprised (they think it's done) and we could see real negative reactions in the market. 

I'm not going to Day Trade much today, my metrics say it's not a good day to trade.

should be a quiet day, with very slight biased to the downside to release some upward pressure we saw on Friday #Fed #JacksonHole

we have one data point at 1000 ET

We look to be having a little hangover from all the Jackson Hole buying. Bitcoin had a really rough weekend. The bitcoin futures are down almost 5%.  The worst part about it was that Ethereum was still catching a bid from the late coming, worst of the worst retail players.  Once the futures opened on Sunday, the Arbitrage people took care of that spread and whomped poor Ethereum again. I have been on Major Top watch for Crypto for the last week to week and a half. 

It's not really common to see ES holding up like this when Bitcoin is down this much.  The last couple times we gapped the ES futures up while the Bitcoin futures gapped down 2%, we topped the last two bull markets.  That's not good.  

We should be down around 567-568 on QQQ by now, so I'm kind of looking for that kind of reaction today at some point.  I'll look for longs around the Purple VWMA (Monthly VWAP) and Yellow VWMA (Weekly VWAP) on QQQ.
