Although U.S. stocks opened sharply lower on Monday, we immediately alerted everyone at the opening that the data showed strong and stable performance. Although the market's movement throughout the day wasn't particularly explosive, the overall situation remained solid, and I would rate it a 75 out of 100. Recently, sellers in the U.S. market have nearly disappeared, showing remarkable resilience. It's recommended to maintain a long-only strategy. $SPY $QQQ $SOXL $BTCUSD
$SNDK's recent trend has indeed been very strong, firmly staying within a strong channel. Member Qingyun from the Bunnycat Club had already highlighted it when it was above $50, showing exceptional insight~ However, after reviewing over the weekend, I still haven't included it in the beta test quantitative robot's selection pool.
After all, every strategy choice essentially means giving up on other possibilities. The small robot aims not for extreme returns, but long-term stability and reproducibility. This positioning naturally means that many short-term, high-volatility assets are simply outside its range 😭
Although it's chilly outside, enjoying the fresh, handcrafted red rice bamboo shoot pancakes delivered from New York by Master Hu Jian by the fireplace indoors—this joy is something only people from Hu Jian truly understand.
Life is ultimately about food bringing happiness. After traveling so long, I haven't even managed to transcend the five realms, let alone pass the basic tests of the mundane world. Looks like I'm beyond saving—I'm just too fond of eating 😭😭🫣
After grinding my mind through trading every day, isn't it okay to treat myself to some rich food on a big weekend? I want to feast heartily!
Looking up at the sky during the Friday afternoon, watching the clouds roll by, I suddenly realized we have never left the embrace of the universe.
No matter how busy life may be, or how much things change, or how friends and family come and go, the universe always holds us, loves us unconditionally, and has never left.
May you feel confident and peaceful in this moment, surrounded by love ❤️
Today, the robot acted a bit '250' (a Chinese idiom meaning foolish or silly), busily trading all day long. All I could hear were the rapid order placements, seemingly very confident. At closing, checking the results, it ended up making a profit of 3039.15 😂😭 Trading instruments: $SPY $QQQ $TSLA
$BTCUSD According to the monitoring of the Cat Lady's US Stock Club Zen Trading Point indicator, a 30F-level selling point appeared at 10:30 AM Eastern Time on Friday. The current market has shown a buying point alert; Benmao analysis suggests that this buying point is highly likely to be confirmed near the blue short-term trend line.
$COIN The intraday low point, we continue to hold firmly. The moment the alert is triggered is exactly when the intraday low emerges, signaling a short-term buying opportunity. Although this asset has been slightly frustrating recently, in a slight downward trend channel, Benmao believes it is merely testing the daily-level downward trend line. As long as it rebounds and successfully holds, the medium-term outlook remains bullish.
$QQQ resolutely defended the golden level pointed out by Bento Cat, and the price rebounded firmly upon touching it. Bento Cat has explained the specific use of this level multiple times: if the level is touched without breaking below, it's the moment to enter a long or short position, or to take profit on a short position. As long as you can execute this strategy effectively, making profits is not difficult. Thanks to the main force大佬 for making it possible 😅. It should be emphasized that this line was given a long time ago, and it was specifically mentioned in last Friday's public YouTube review video.
Looking back at the views from November 2023, as long as the market doesn't break below the critical support level pointed out by 'Dumb Cat,' the index is highly likely to challenge the previous high. On Wednesday, $SPY indeed successfully achieved a breakthrough of both the new high and the previous high simultaneously.
There's nothing mysterious about market movements; the same structural logic has been repeatedly validated.
The real challenge lies in execution: being decisive when it's time to add positions, and being resolute in ignoring noise when necessary.
Objective data has always been there; ultimately, the difference in trading outcomes comes down to 'people'.
While the market remains calm, let's take a moment to share some genuine insights:
In fact, the world we perceive is often a reflection of our inner mindset. Those with extreme attitudes find everything absurd; people whose thinking is limited to speculation see every trend as mere hype; students who struggle academically may question whether top-performing peers cheated when they score full marks; and those feeling spiritually empty tend to suspect ill-gotten gains whenever others buy new clothes...
For some individuals, when confronted with things beyond their understanding, the easiest excuse is often to label them as 'conspiracy theories' or simply tag them as 'fraudsters'😂😂. (Of course, a friendly reminder: the current environment truly is mixed, so while embracing new developments, remain highly vigilant against real scams and investment schemes—always be mindful of risks.)

The famous hedge fund Citadel underperformed the broader market $SPY significantly last year (17% vs. 9.3%). We believe many individual traders, including myself, have far surpassed Citadel's performance. I've even highlighted my five-year average return at the top.
That said, let's be fair—statements like 'hedge funds can't beat the market, and they do worse than me' are largely based on retail investors' perspectives. For instance, hedge funds often don't aim for the high-leverage returns that retail investors chase; instead, they focus on low correlation, low drawdowns, or absolute returns. In fact, many hedge funds don't even benchmark against the US stock market (e.g., they may target a Sharpe ratio above 1 or a maximum drawdown (Max DD) below 10%).
The expert I quoted illustrates this point perfectly😅 PS: Since I'm not sure how to include the original tweet while forwarding and quoting a reply, I had to resort to posting a screenshot instead..
On this night, I'd like to share some personal insights. A few years ago, the organization where Benmao worked planned to develop a trading terminal, which made us realize the importance of analyzing large amounts of data. Gradually, we came to understand that data is truly the key. Nowadays, acquiring data has become extremely convenient, and it's fair to say we are living in the golden age of individual traders. What are your thoughts on this?
Today's US stock market performed well, but surprisingly, the beta version of the quantitative robot finally incurred losses. Strangely, I actually feel a bit relieved about this, as its previous performance was simply unbelievable 😂 This is actually how trading should be.
In fact, the situation isn't too bad. First, there was a loss of 17,000 yuan in the morning trading session, but after adjustments, the final loss was reduced to just over 5,000 yuan. Second, I remained emotionally stable during trading and was able to flexibly respond to shifts between long and short positions, focusing solely on signals—something I still need to improve. Lastly, algorithmic issues still exist. During debugging, we chose a conservative strategy instead of being overly aggressive, which caused us to miss some trading opportunities. $SPY $BTC $QQQ
The $BTCUSD Cat Sister Club's Zen Trading Point Indicator has confirmed a buy signal at the 30F level. As of 1 PM Eastern Time, the first leg is currently observed on the hourly chart.
$QQQ was only 0.17 points away from the key level previously set by BounceCat at the close of this week (adjusted from 0.19 to 0.17 after post-market correction). Our key level algorithm is based on monitoring the main players' movements and has been validated through actual trading, showing that the deviation is usually within a few decimal places. This indicates that our levels effectively reflect the overall market trend.
At Monday's close, the long position remained above this key level. On Tuesday, US stocks rose, and our position criteria remain valid, steadily allowing profits to grow.
The golden reversal trend of $GLD has been confirmed, and we remain optimistic in the medium term. On December 29, when gold experienced a significant drop, we had already identified the opportunity to establish a buying pattern, marking the lowest point of this correction. For those who understand, it's easy; the difficulty lies in not understanding, and the key is data support. At that time, we shared our insights internally in the club, and among the mentioned stocks, only $TSLA achieved a reversal entry last Friday, while our views on $META, $GOOG, $HOOD, and $COIN remain unchanged.
On Monday, the US stock market showed different trends. Besides $COIN and $HOOD, which just entered the market last Friday, the financial sector performed well. We have consistently held and reiterated our continued holding of $AFRM at 1/2, which has risen more than 9%. It should be emphasized that Ben Mao is not the type to analyze a large number of individual stocks every day; usually, he only analyzes a select few carefully chosen targets, which are often also part of my personal investment portfolio.
$HOOD Cat Sister club's member-exclusive Zen movement indicator issued a buy signal at 30F last Friday at 10 AM, and subsequently confirmed an intraday buy point. Last Friday, Ben Cat also conducted a relevant analysis in the recap video of the US stock market released on YouTube, believing that the sell point warning at 30F was not a major issue. The current standard is to continue holding, and it is indeed a target worth paying attention to. However, Ben Cat only added to the position in COIN last Friday and did not buy this stock at the lowest point, which is a bit regrettable. 😭
The Zen Movement Buy/Sell Indicator exclusive to Benmao Club issued a multi-buy signal alert for $COIN at the 30F level on December 30. The asset is currently transitioning from minor fluctuations to more significant changes, and we are awaiting further confirmation on the daily chart. If confirmed on the daily chart, a reversal trend will likely begin and is expected to last for an extended period. We added to our position on Friday on the left side and have already synchronized the update to the current YouTube video~
