TODAY WAS A DAY OF BLOOD BATH IN THE MARKET
However, reviewing our portfolio,we observed that the rear earth and data centre sticks excaped the cannage.

The market is just telling us, telling us what can happen is the bubble that some people are expecting happens.

What we can do on such day is to start going into cash, this mean we start taking some of our profits and resist the urge to buy into a heavily falling market on that day. Then the qualify of the stocks in our portfolio matters, like today the stock that suffered the highest loss is where I have a substantial part of my portfolio, but due to the quality of the stock, I am not so worried, as I can remember the stock have suffered a similar marginitude of today's loss in the past (actually what I remembered more was the profit
of a particular day, that percentage was higher than that loss suffered today).

So Monday is another day, but is a day we should approach caution, since banks will not work but market will be opened, some institutions may not trade. I don't know how US is able to handle this type of holiday that banks will not work, but stock market will open.

Wishing all happy weekend.

GLOBAL STOCKS ARE GOOD IF WE CAN LEARN THE BASICS AND FOLLOW THE CAUCUS OR A GOOD MENTOR
Market will make all participants smile today

Premarket is looking sweet!!!

"WE ARE HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL"
As long as we protect our capital and avoid excessive risk we should have a stable portfolio.

For now my focus is on mey net position, I want to aee hoy the negative positions I have can reduce. So my focus is not much on how much profit I cam make, but how do I reduce my losses. I want to see how my total position can be become profitable not on individual stock positions, now making 100% on individual stock is easier, but how do we have a profit position on our total balance?

I will say again. I am enjoying this market. This is the best place to be as long as we can obey the basic trading laws

MARKET UPDATE TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
A likely bearish day!!! However, there are sub-sectors of the market that us still bullish, but they look overbought.

We cannot be an aggressive or breakout trader today!!

Let us see if Powell can redeem the day.

After 7pmWAT we will get the final verdict from the market.

Let us have a good day.

Good day everyone
Please is there an options trading broker that accepts Nigerians.
I have searched to no avail.
Any help?

LONGEVITY IN THE MARKET CAN YIELD GOOD RETURNS
Again we survived the market today. Due to the sector our portfolio is concentrated, we are sort if flat at the close of the market. The Fed speakers save the day.

Tommorrow is another day and any day that "expense budget is approved" that day must be bullish

We are in this market to make some money and also to enjoy ourselves by making sure that our portfolio does not suffer a huge loss that will send us out of the market, so that we can be available to trade any day we see a good set up.

I AM MISSING THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF "CHAKA
I wonder why some people dabble into a business they will not be able to handle. Since these new set of Managers took over "Chaka" platform, they have messed up the platform totally.

Despite the high Commission fron Nigeria platforms, the old "Chaka" platform was better than all in terms of the low commission , 1- 1.5% depending on the cel of your transaction in a month, but I am always in the 1% range. What endear "the old Chaka" to me is the ease of withdrawing money on the platform, no story, once you click the withdrawal button in less than 3 minutes, you will just see the alert, no delay.

With the fact that I want to have a local Platform, the next choice will be "Trove". This new Chaka people that are messing up thought a trading platform is like a "bet Naija Platform" they are a big flop. Can we remember they said they will come with something new on their Partnership with Alpaca, they messed up again. How ai wish ALPACA will get another Nigerian Partner, they have good product offerings!!!

I will say for now,this "new Chaka" are olodo people plus Lailai Mohammed joined together, why: they failed to show us the improvement expected from the Partnership with Alpaca.

So, I am thinking seriously of moving some of my tarde to Trove, but the commission is huge, 1.5%, and $0.75 minimum commission? Really I may say the commission is fairly, and our account can absorb it, if our minimum trade is $50 at a time

I keep my arms crossed.

What of Bamboo?

What of Bamboo?

I am not familiar with Bamboo. All the local US trading App operates nearly the same way. I just regard them as necessary evil, the problem is high Commission and some hace very bad Customer service. For Bamboo you can email them on whatever need to be clarified, like commission rate (sometime thay change the rates), any charge on withdrawals etc.

So better just to have one local APP and then we support with an International one like Vest. Actually the zero commission make one to trade better, it is like you knowing that "you as the individual has total control of your trading, you have no high Commission that will not allow you to take a small loss before it becomes too big to bear!!!

LIKELY MARKET DIRECTION TOMMORROW 6 OCTOBER
General market likely to be in conslidation/slightly bearish, but the sub sectors that have been bullish like the metals, batteries, blockchain/AI may continue.

Going further on Gold/Bitcoin comments, this time around Gold and Bitcoin are moving together. So ig the shutdown continues, expect the 2 to continue moving up. And on the day the shutdown ends, they are likely part ways, with Bitcoin moving up and Gold likely dropping (on the day of the spending approval only).

Wishing everyone the best. It pays to preserve our capital so that we can be in the market for long.

Gold and Bitcoin seem to be moving in sync lately both acting as safe havens amid the shutdown tension. If this drags on, I expect both to keep rising. But once spending approval hits, BTC could break higher while Gold cools off. Meanwhile, I’m focusing on RWA stock futures on BG last round I won a $TSLA tokenized share, and now there’s a $300K NVDA promo running.

EARLY MORNING TO BE A CHALLENGING START
Market will start bearish,but labour report may change the tide after market open.

So ni need to panic, we can take some profits)stay in the sideline if we see bearish trend continuing.

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS REPORT EXTRACT

US Stock Market Intelligence & Actionable Insights Report For Week Ended 17 October and Plan for the New Week Beginning 20 October 2025

Date: October 19, 2025
Market Bias: Cautiously Bullish amid Elevated Volatility

Executive Summary:
The S&P 500 continues its modest upward trajectory, closing near 6600, yet faces persistent headwinds from elevated volatility (VIX ~20-25). The market is navigating a complex landscape defined by two primary forces: 1) robust, concentrated momentum in Technology—specifically AI, Semiconductors, and Cloud infrastructure—and 2) significant intermittent risks from regional banking credit stress, geopolitical trade chatter, and a busy earnings calendar.

While defensive sectors like Utilities saw inflows during recent risk-off sessions, the primary market driver remains the AI ecosystem, which displays strong relative strength and institutional conviction.

The imminent earnings releases from major tech firms and Tesla are critical near-term catalysts expected to dictate rotational patterns.

Actionable Portfolio Picks:
Come Monday we will be buying basically from this list: **XXXXXX, SMCI, XXXXXX, XXXXXX, XXXXXX**. We basically use this report to generate the ideas which we put in our trading system, to determine if a stock is in a buy zone.

Our quantitative model, integrating technical momentum, volume, institutional flow, and cross-platform sentiment, identifies the following high-probability opportunities. Probability scores reflect a composite of these factors.

· AI & Semiconductor Core (Highest Conviction): XXXXXX (90%), XXXXXX (90%), XXXXXX (90%), SMCI (90%), XXXXXX (85%), XXXXXX (85%)
· Big Tech & Cloud Monetization: XXXXXX (90%), XXXXXX (85%), XXXXXX (85%), XXXXXX (80%)
· Diversified & Tactical Exposure: SMH (85%), XXXXXX (80%), XXXXXX (80%), SLB (80%), XXXXXX (80%)

Synthesis of Key Drivers:

1. Dominant Theme: AI & Semiconductor Leadership: Quantitative, technical, and sentiment analysis unanimously identifies Semiconductors and AI-enabling sectors as the market's core leaders. Rotation charts show these groups moving from "Improving" to "Leading," supported by strong price action, volume confirmation, and high institutional and retail engagement. This is further reinforced by corporate catalysts and commentary from key players like NVDA.
2. Countervailing Risks: Macro & Event Uncertainty: The market's advance is tempered by elevated volatility stemming from headline risks. These include U.S.-China trade tensions (somewhat alleviated by recent diplomatic commentary), the ongoing US government shutdown, and most acutely, credit stress within the regional banking sector. This has triggered flight-to-safety flows, benefiting Treasuries and gold, and capping significant upside for the broader indices.
3. Sentiment & Flow Analysis: Institutional research and retail community chatter (e.g., Stocktwits, Reddit) are heavily concentrated on AI leaders, creating a powerful sentiment tailwind for select names. This sentiment is quantified and used to bolster confidence in stock selection, alongside technical confirmations.

Call to Action:
The current environment presents a clear dichotomy: powerful sector-specific momentum set against a backdrop of systemic caution. Inaction is not a strategy. We advise a disciplined, proactive approach:

1. CONCENTRATE on Strength: Overweight exposure to the high-probability AI and Semiconductor names listed above. This is where the most pronounced momentum and institutional flows are concentrated.
2. MANAGE Risk, Don't Avoid It: Use broad-sector ETFs like SMH for efficient, diversified exposure to the semiconductor theme, mitigating single-stock dispersion risk. For tactical investors, the selected energy names (XOM, CVX, SLB) offer a hedge, but should be viewed as short-term plays.
3. ANTICIPATE Volatility: The elevated VIX and packed earnings calendar guarantee continued turbulence. Position sizing and entry points are critical. Use expected pullbacks within the prevailing uptrend as strategic entry opportunities.
4. STAY VIGILANT: Monitor banking sector headlines and key macroeconomic data closely, as these remain the primary threats to the current cautious bullish bias. The market's direction will be determined by whether earnings growth can continue to outweigh credit fears.

The data is clear. The path is defined. Now is the time to align our portfolio with the dominant market trend. This will minimise the losses and stagnancy in our portfolio.

I'm new to investing, what trading platform can I use as a beginner?

Snapshot of US stick market outlook

​1. Market Overview and Macro Drivers (October 20 2025)

​US stock index futures pointed to a higher open on Monday, October 20, 2025, suggesting a positive start to the week for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. This bullish sentiment is largely driven by positive global cues, including a better-than-expected economic performance from China, which eased trade tension concerns.

​Global Factors The main tailwinds are the hopes of better AI earnings and the improved performance of the Chinese economy. However, persistent geopolitical caution keeps gold prices elevated near 4266 per ounce, while crude oil (Brent) is trading slightly lower around 61.02 per barrel.

​Domestic Concerns The market remains sensitive to domestic issues, specifically the underlying health of the economy following recent credit stress jitters. Last week, US regional banking stocks experienced heavy losses after some lenders reported bad loan write-offs, which led the VIX volatility index (the fear gauge) to surge to its highest level since April.

The focus this week shifts to Q3 corporate earnings, which are expected to dominate investor sentiment.

​Key Levels The S&P 500 closed the prior week at 6664.01 (End Of Day Oct 17 2025). The short-term direction will be heavily influenced by the ability of the major indices to overcome last week's credit-related jitters.

I'm new to investing, what trading platform can I use as a beginner?

--+--++-----
My candid advice is that if you cannot start with $100, it may be better for you to go with Nigerian stocks.

Best platform for Global/Us stocks is Vest investment. For local platform. Trove is okay for now.

TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY- BUT OUR MAJOR PLATFORM HAS SOME ISSUES, BUT STILL BETTER THAN ANY LOCAL PLATFORM
To be able to put our trades for today (not much Trading, about 4 trades), what we pulled out of the market was returned back, market is still volatile, therefore we focused on strong stocks and we believe they can be short time trades.

What I like about the foreign platforms is that they tell you the truth, "if the platform has a fault they will acknowledge it". But not so for the local platforms, when their platform is bit working they will never acknowledge it. If I remember the shabby treatment that the local platforms (all of them no exception) give to Customers, I will say I will nit like to have anything to do with them, we just patronise them out of patriotism/pity, many of them are just struggling to survive, Therefore, I was not surprised when one of then confirmed that they have downsized due to oow patronage, while we patronage not be low when service quality is so poor. We hope they will find better alliances with bigger brokers from outside the Country!!!

US STOCK MARKET UPDATE- 23 OCTOBER
Today is a day when one cannot be bold in buying. So, today we are relaxing, we will continue tommorrow with our relaxation. We will make our move towards the market close on Friday, as we pointed our about the historical seasonal "bo_ _ _" play.

The US market is interesting, volatile, risky, but highly reliable to play, if we have a good trading system.

There is something funny I observed about most trading platforms, on a day that market is ready to make that stupendous move to the the upside or downside, the platform will always hang? While on days when the market is quiet, (I hope it is no a "conspiracy theory" at play)all platforms will work perfectly? What is happening here, I hope not a deliberate ploy to make trader lose on bad days, and equally prevent them from making maximum profit on good days? I will be more observant about this. Today, I wm not interested in any transaction, the trading App/platform is working 100%, bur on a day I waited to trade heavily, platforms failed to work

So wishing all the best.

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS MARKET UPDATE
MARKET PLAN FOR 24 OCTOBER - US MARKET
Today is looking good. But better to wait till around 3.15pm Nigeria Time before we place a trade.

Energy, quantum computing sticks, nuclear, blochain stocks are looking good.

Watchlist: XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX (just consider the industries where these tickers are coming from: semiconductor, data centre/Bitcoin, quantum computing, rare earth etc).

Snapshot of US stick market outlook

MARKET OVERVIEW
The market narrative has recently shifted from macro-driven fear to micro-focused confidence,underscored by a significant drop in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) from above 20 to the 14.20 level. This indicates a strong reduction in demand for portfolio insurance and growing institutional comfort with the near-term outlook. The S&P 500 has rallied strongly since late April, gaining 29% as of mid-August, though it faced a -4.6% downturn in Q1 2025, dragged down by the heavyweight Information Technology sector .

Sector leadership has been mixed. Defensive sectors like Energy, Health Care, and Consumer Staples were standout performers in Q1, a sign of investor caution amid recession fears. However, more recent data points to a risk-on rotation, with Financials and other cyclicals showing strength, suggesting a return of confidence in corporate earnings and economic resilience . Key macro drivers include ongoing market adjustments to reciprocal tariff policies, a cooling labor market, and mounting inflation pressures from increased trade taxes .

All 3 USA indices closed strongly today after an opening gap.

We can see a very big run in the coming week


Stay alert for it

Truth is anyone using these nigerian platforms that charge excessive fees is just short changing him/herself. You wouldnt know until you calculate these fees. But when you use platforms that charge no fees you will understand. I tried to explore the option of trading 212 but i understand its not open to nigerians. Naija do suffer sha.

Vest came ro the rescue. I have used vest for about 5 months now. I quickly moved my portfolio from optimus to vest. I realised i was just short changing my self with their 1% commissions. Imagine 1% of 1k usd thats 10 usd while vest is free. These platforms are just milking nigerians. On top of it vest is better in buy and sell including fractional shares, UI, better customer support, responsive, and have great international presence. Our local platforms have horrible customer support.

The only downside of vest which is negligible and can be managed with better planning is the funding and withdrawal which takes about 15 to 18 hours. So i fund early morning before 6 and when the market opens before 6 in the evening you should see the fund. Withdrawal should be about 24 to 48 hours. Aside that the platform is super b. Also from my experience in moving my portfolio from Optimus to vest i got more comfortable with them as they share same stockbroker with optimus which is drive wealth. So in events anything happens with vest you can move your portfolio to another broker through the drive wealth platform.

I just frown at all these our platforms chaka, troove, bamboo, optimus etc that are ripping us off...

I AM MISSING THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF "CHAKA
I wonder why some people dabble into a business they will not be able to handle. Since these new set of Managers took over "Chaka" platform, they have messed up the platform totally.

Despite the high Commission fron Nigeria platforms, the old "Chaka" platform was better than all in terms of the low commission , 1- 1.5% depending on the cel of your transaction in a month, but I am always in the 1% range. What endear "the old Chaka" to me is the ease of withdrawing money on the platform, no story, once you click the withdrawal button in less than 3 minutes, you will just see the alert, no delay.

With the fact that I want to have a local Platform, the next choice will be "Trove". This new Chaka people that are messing up thought a trading platform is like a "bet Naija Platform" they are a big flop. Can we remember they said they will come with something new on their Partnership with Alpaca, they messed up again. How ai wish ALPACA will get another Nigerian Partner, they have good product offerings!!!

I will say for now,this "new Chaka" are olodo people plus Lailai Mohammed joined together, why: they failed to show us the improvement expected from the Partnership with Alpaca.

So, I am thinking seriously of moving some of my tarde to Trove, but the commission is huge, 1.5%, and $0.75 minimum commission? Really I may say the commission is fairly, and our account can absorb it, if our minimum trade is $50 at a time

I keep my arms crossed.

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS REPORT EXTRACT 28 October 2025- Extract

MARKET OVERVIEW The U.S. stock market closed at fresh all-time highs on October 27, 2025, with the S&P 500 surpassing 6,800 for the first time, the Nasdaq Composite extending its tech-led rally, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 0.71 percent amid optimism over U.S.-China trade developments and solid corporate earnings. Futures were little changed in early trading on October 28, signaling a pause as investors await big-tech results from Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft this week. Market breadth showed positive momentum with 63.6 percent advancers versus 35 percent decliners on a weekly basis, though monthly participation remains solid but not overly broad.

The USD index held steady, reflecting mixed inflation signals ahead of the FOMC meeting.

SECTOR ROTATION INSIGHT Relative Rotation Graphs position Technology in the Leading quadrant with strong tailwinds from AI demand, while Healthcare rotates from Improving toward Leading on biotech catalysts. Industrials lag in Weakening but show rotation signals via ETF inflows into ITB and XME. Energy holds steady in Lagging amid oil stability, but subsectors like OIH exhibit improving momentum.


OUTLOOK AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Short Term Outlook 1 to 2 Weeks, the U.S. market enters the final week of October with bullish momentum intact, driven by tech earnings beats and U.S.-China trade optimism, potentially pushing the S&P 500 toward 6,900 if breadth holds above 60 percent advancers. Catalysts include FOMC signals on steady rates amid cooling inflation at 2.4 percent core PCE, alongside Bitcoin's treasury adoption buzz lifting risk assets. Risks center on geopolitical flares in the Middle East impacting crude and pending congressional stock trading bans adding volatility to policy-sensitive names. Mid-caps in improving RRG rotations offer 5 to 8 percent upside probability over 3 to 10 days, hedged against Fed hawkishness.

Stock Recommendations: Using our sector rotation analysis, we will be bullish on: data centre, Uranium/Nuclear energy, other AI energy related stocks like: XXXXXX., XXXXXX, XXXXXX, ASTS

Disclaimer: our comments are for ideas generation. You are to use the idea as it makes you comfortable. So each individual is responsible fir the oucome of his/her trades.

US STOCK MARKET IS COOL TODAY/NIGERIA APPs NEED TO IMPROVE ON THEIR SERVICES THE FOREIGN APPs ARE READY TO SATISFY NIGERIANS

As a follow up to the previous post above this. VEST hace just resolved one; of the issues that Nigerians complain about (difficulty in withdraws), now it is very easy, as my dividends that I withdrew last week, initiated transaction about Wednesday last week, the money landed in my account this afternoon. Although it took one week, they will tell you it is 3 business days. Bur overall this is a milestone improvement in service delivery from "Vest Investment". Anf I will say "kudos to Vest Investment". I don't know what the local APPs can do to regain my confidence back, it will be a difficult task. And for the loss of confidence in local APPs, the blame should go to this new set of "baby Managers" of the new Chaka Platform, "they are a big flop"

For the market today, everything is cool, market not too bad, everything is in laid back mood in preparation of the likely bullish move in the 2nd to closing half of the market tommorrow.

Wishing everyone the best.
