HaiKhuu Daily Report - 02/13/2025
Good morning, and happy Thursday!!! Man, these market conditions are getting to be a little bit hectic with the large movements that happen when the markets are closed, only to pretty much retain neutrality on a larger scale. This has been difficult to navigate but it has provided us with some absolutely amazing opportunities to actively trade and realize gains.

Many traders are generating some serious gains in these market conditions, so continue to have a great time, realize some gains, and enjoy the process.
Just remember, these conditions are going to be extremely choppy and difficult to navigate with confidence, so be smart, be safe, and have a great time!
Good luck trading today, and let’s watch $SPY go on a tear!

Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday - 02/12/2025
Yesterday was a tough day for the markets. There was general strength, and it provided us with some amazing opportunities to trade and allocate while providing difficulties for many traders. Conditions were choppy and inconsistent, but man did some of our plays work out absolutely perfectly. Anyone who grabbed those $600 $SPY calls with us at open printed, with those contracts going $4.50 ITM at the top. Congratulations again to everyone who capitalized on some beautiful plays with us yesterday!!!
So, we started the day with markets diving into CPI data, which gave us an amazing buy-the-dip opportunity. $SPY opened the day trading at $599.26, and the conditions were rather weak but great. Markets quickly rallied from the bottom, and those $SPY contracts quickly ripped up 40% as $SPY tested $602 within the first half hour before rejecting back to $600.
The rejection of $600 was tough, but the markets quickly rebounded, continually making higher highs and higher lows. Markets came down once again leading into the lunchtime lull, which was not an ideal scenario but provided us with an amazing last-ditch opportunity to allocate long into the markets before we broke off into neutrality into the afternoon. $SPY quickly popped to test $604 and went on to make the official high of the day, trading at $604.55.
Conditions at the top were great despite markets remaining red, and we essentially just chopped around within an extremely tight range until we ended the day with $SPY trading at $603.36, down $1.95 for the day, or down approximately 0.3%, but enjoyed a beautiful $4 rally from open.
What I will say is that it was a tough day for the overall markets as market conditions were not favorable, but it was a great day for traders as the intraday momentum provided us with some great opportunities to trade. Anyone again who grabbed those $SPY calls with us at open should have absolutely printed, so hey, let’s see where the markets take us today, and have a great time!

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 02/13/2025
Today is setting up to be another extremely interesting day, and I am assuming it will be a difficult day for the markets. With the way the markets are moving, we are seeing highly volatile movements that are difficult to capitalize on with confidence, but insane opportunities to trade generate significant gains. The question is, are you allocating accordingly and allocating where there is confidence here in the short term? Most of the large movements we have seen over the previous couple of trading days have been large pre-market/after-hours movements, followed by a reversion to neutrality intraday.
This is not an ideal scenario, as it is difficult for investors to generate any sort of realized gain as there is that neutrality. At the same time, traders should be excited as they can continue to allocate accordingly. The intraday volatility and momentum are a treasure trove for active traders and scalpers, so if you are attempting to trade in these conditions. Have fun, realize gains, and make sure, as always, to practice safe risk management!
Just remember, we have seen a lot of chop and neutrality in the markets over the previous couple of days. Keep this in mind if you are actively attempting to trade or scalp on an intraday basis. That chop will stir your emotions and generate losses if you attempt to trade it, so please be careful. I say chop is honestly the quicksand of the markets. Everyone doesn't think it’s that bad, and it’s not hard to navigate around a pit of quicksand, but if you are caught in its path…. it is not a fun time.
If you are not comfortable actively scalping and day trading, at least continue to allocate to the markets during these conditions. As I have said, please do not remain passive in these conditions. When I say do not remain passive, it does not mean that you should be forcing positions and actively scalping all day long, but it means that you should retain exposure in the markets and do what you can to capitalize on these conditions. Many organizations are still heavily undervalued, and many organizations have had some great momentum. Either purchase something undervalued, that is, EV+ with time, or purchase something that has momentum while taking on some risk to ensure that you are continually capitalizing on strong and favorable market conditions!
For my allocations today, I intend on trading and managing my positions. I have had many position adjustments over the previous couple of trading days and it has provided me with some amazing opportunities to realize gains. So, I’ll continually adjust and allocate accordingly in my portfolios. Most recent acquisitions are $F, $QDTE, and $RIVN. I will let you know when I adjust my port, and what positions they are!
If I see any opportunities, or if I decide to get into any other plays, I’ll announce what I see in the HaiKhuu Discord.
