If You’re Burnt Out, This Might Be the Best Trading Advice I Can Give

The 3 Stocks I’m Still Holding | Edition 15

Freedom Trades

Jun 01, 2025

Hello dear traders,

I don’t know how this week was for you, but for me, it was at least hectic.

I juggled work, late flights, exhausting trips, and a very important personal event happening in 9 days.

But even with all that, I still kept my eyes on the market.

It’s true, I didn’t open any new positions.

And that’s exactly what I recommend you do too, traders, when you’re going through a full, stressful period in your life. Staying cash is a position, don’t forget that.

Your time is already packed, you won’t have time to manage another position, and you won’t have the nerves to handle more risk.

So reduce your position size, your trading volume, or better yet, stay away. My biggest drawdowns came from the feeling that I had to make money, that I couldn’t miss out on a trade. So I forced trades I didn’t have time to manage, and they ended up affecting my personal life too.

And that’s exactly what I’ll do… For the next 20 days, you’ll find me in Bali with my future wife (we’re planning to have our wedding ceremony there 😊). I won’t be actively trading, but I’ll keep an eye on the market, I’ll respond to your messages, and maybe I’ll exit a position I’ve been in since November 2022 (yes, I’m talking about BTC). It’s time to slowly start selling and prepare for the next cycle.

It feels weird to share personal stuff with random traders on the internet, but hey, I don’t want this newsletter to turn into a generic one written by ChatGPT.

I’ve been doing this for 15 weeks now, and honestly, I like how this newsletter is evolving, do you?

Freedom Trade of the week

As I said above, I haven’t opened any new positions and I don’t plan to next week either, but let’s talk about my current positions.

Especially my top 3 largest ones, the rest aren’t worth mentioning in the free newsletter: UNH 0.00%↑ HTZ 0.00%↑ and BTC.

Let’s start with UNH.

It seems UNH has entered a consolidation zone that could be an accumulation base, if volume confirms.

Now, the most obvious and easiest level for UNH to reach is the previous high, since it's only 8% away, compared to the previous low, which is 17% away. From a probabilistic lens, that makes a retest of the high more likely, though nothing is ever 100%.

I’m patiently waiting to see what happens next week.

HTZ is not moving as expected so far.

After bouncing from my marked buying level, price climbed steadily inside a rising channel, but now breaked the lower boundary. (just FYI - I don’t believe in pattern trading, just like to be aware of them from time to time, especially on the higher time frames, ex: weekly)

I’m still holding my long position, but I’m fully aware this zone needs to hold.

If it breaks, I’ll likely exit.

Target remains the same: that fat zone around $9.

Speaking of pattern trading look at this BTC chart on the 4 hour timeframe:

Since April 4th, BTC has been riding a clean ascending channel, respecting both the upper and lower bounds almost to perfection.

Now we’re seeing some weakness and a clear break below the channel.

Until BTC reclaims the channel or that $107K zone, I expect more chop or downside.

I’m convinced BTC still has room to grow, but I’m very close to selling the position I’ve been holding since 2022.

I’ll start selling gradually, and I expect to be out of my BTC position by the end of summer.

I’ll look to re-enter in the coming years, maybe even below 40 - 50K again… who knows, we’ll see.

I’ll keep you updated either way.

Key economic events to watch next week

Next week is packed with high-impact U.S. data that could shake the markets, especially with ISM Manufacturing and Services PMI, JOLTs, and the big one: Friday’s NFP + Unemployment Rate.

The Fed is still pretending to be data-driven, so any surprise, especially in job numbers, could shift sentiment fast.

Keep risk tight.
