The Edge Never Feels Comfortable

Hey traders,

Every time the market wakes up, the same pattern shows up, most traders miss it because they’re too busy waiting for confirmation that never actually comes.

They want the news to say it’s safe so everyone can feel good about risking money again. 

But that’s not how real opportunity works. It never feels obvious when it’s early. 

It usually feels uncomfortable and messy like you might be right… but maybe not.

And that’s the window where the edge lives.

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again because it matters—you don’t need to catch the exact bottom. 

You just need to recognize when something shifts and move when the risk/reward flips in your favor.

Some of my biggest trades didn’t feel like slam dunks in the moment.

They felt like educated guesses backed by data, pattern memory, and volume. That’s it.

Take CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV)for example. That setup looked clean, but it wasn’t some obvious “everyone’s-gonna-nail-this” trade.

I saw the strength, I liked the price action, and I trusted the read.

Ended up with a 9% win on 20,000 shares. 

It would’ve been easy to hesitate, especially with how sketchy things had looked recently.

But when the volume lined up and the setup triggered, I took the shot.

That’s what it comes down to, not waiting for some buzzer to go off—just being ready when the trade makes sense.

You trust the work you’ve done when the moment shows up.

Most traders don’t lose because they’re totally clueless. 

They lose because they hesitate when it counts, and then overreact once it’s too late.

Last few weeks, I’ve had people messaging me nonstop, asking if this is finally the big opportunity, if the market’s “back,” if it’s safe to start trading again. And I get it. 

After months of sideways chop and fakeouts, it’s hard to trust anything. Nobody wants to be the one who buys the top of another dead cat bounce.

But the thing is, I didn’t wait for a perfect headline or some magical signal. 

I just paid attention. When stocks stopped falling apart every morning, when volume started showing up again—not just a little, but real volume with actual follow through—that was enough for me. I’d seen this before

The risk started making sense again. So I leaned in.

Look, I’m not trying to sell anyone on hype. There’s still chop. Still fakeouts. But I started seeing:

  • Breakouts actually holding
  • Sympathy plays running longer than one candle
  • Clean entries on volume—not just flukes

That was my cue. Not CNBC. Not Reddit threads. Just repeatable behavior that lined up with the playbook.

I know people love to throw around phrases like “buying opportunity of a lifetime.” I’m not really into that kind of hype. 

And I’m definitely not trying to be some Templeton clone buying busted garbage and hoping for miracles. 

That guy was scooping bankrupt companies during the Great Depression. 

Totally different game. I’m not betting on trash. 

I’m looking for real momentum tied to themes that people actually care about right now—like AI, EVs, and anything else showing strength with volume to back it up.

What made the difference for me wasn’t just instinct, though. 

I’ve got tools that help me cut through the noise. 

One of the things I rely on heavily is my Power Signal Indicator. It’s built to pick up on those early waves of volume—before the crowd catches on—and it’s been spot-on lately. 

That’s how I’ve been able to jump into trades before they get crowded, while the reward still outweighs the risk.

My sucess came from staying patient when the market sucked, and then getting aggressive the moment things flipped. 

That’s what most traders mess up. 

They try to force trades when nothing’s working, and when real opportunity shows up, they’re too shaken to take the shot. 

They miss the window.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, that’s fine.

You haven’t missed everything. But you can’t wait for perfect conditions either. 

By the time it feels “safe,” the best trades will already be gone. I’ve seen it happen over and over. The edge comes from catching the shift early, not reacting late.

If you’re curious what I’m actually watching right now, I dropped a full breakdown in this week’s Seven-Figure Cycles report. 

I go over the setups I like, what I’m avoiding, and how I’m thinking through each trade. 

It’s not just about tickers—it’s the whole strategy. Entries, exits, mindset, even the stuff that didn’t work. 

And you can test it out for 30 days if you want to see how I’m doing it in real-time.

This market still has plenty of uncertainty. 

But when the right setups show up, and volume confirms the move, I’m not sitting back and watching. 

I’m taking my shot. You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to be ready when it matters. And right now? It matters.

Stay dialed in,

Jack Kellogg
