TG Watkins, Director of Stocks at Simpler Trading and editor of Profit Pilot joins us to break down last week’s wild volatility and how he’s navigating the markets with a short-term trading mindset.

From swing trades to zero-day options, TG is capitalizing on volatility, while staying cautious. He shares his current market positioning, explains how his Moxie Indicator helped anticipate the recent market bounce, and highlights the importance of risk-reward setups when trading during uncertain times.

TG also discusses:

• The role of technicals vs. headlines (like the 90-day tariff pause)
  
  
• Trading zero-DTE options, leveraged ETFs, and popular large-cap names like Tesla and Palantir
  
  
• Why he prefers avoiding small-caps in high-volatility environments
  
  
• A tactical view on GDX and GLD following gold’s breakout, and why he’s waiting for a pullback before reentering
  
  
• Caution around silver
