Tesla Trade Update & S&P 500 Strategy | Trade of the Week January 2025

Join us for this week's comprehensive trading analysis where we review our successful Tesla position, which weathered early volatility to turn profitable. We address viewer feedback about account sizing and clarify that our trade recommendations are primarily educational, demonstrating patterns and setups rather than strict copy trading signals. Despite the US markets being closed for the Trump inauguration, we analyse a compelling S&P 500 opportunity, identifying key support levels and potential entry points.
Learn why we're maintaining our Tesla position and discover our detailed S&P 500 strategy, including specific entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets. This episode offers valuable insights into risk management, trade planning, and the importance of proper position sizing based on your trading capital. Whether you're trading with a £10,000 or £300,000 account, these technical patterns and risk management principles remain consistently applicable across different market conditions.
