Hey there,

Brian McAboy here, and I need to talk to you about something that's been tripping up traders all year long.

2025 has been absolutely wild for the markets. We've seen crazy volatility, massive uncertainty, and a lot of frustrated traders wondering why their proven strategies suddenly stopped working.

Sound familiar?

The Problem Most Traders Don't See Coming

Here's what's happening: Nearly every retail trader (myself included) uses some form of momentum strategy. Whether you're:

• Trading breakouts
• Following trends
• Picking reversals at tops and bottoms

You're looking for market movement you can capitalize on. That's Trading 101, right?

But here's the kicker – and this is where most traders get burned…

Movement Isn't Always Momentum

When markets get volatile like they have been, there's tons of movement in price. Candles are flying up and down, your charts look like a seismograph, and it feels like there should be money to be made everywhere.

But that's not momentum. That's just noise.

Real momentum happens when a significant number of market participants (both human and algorithmic) move price in one direction because of genuine fear or confidence.

Think about it: A handful of speculators can create a lot of price movement and volatility. But that's not the same as institutional money, algorithms, and smart money all moving in the same direction because they see something real happening.

Your Strategy Needs the Right Fuel

Most momentum strategies are designed to catch the beginning of these significant moves – the ones driven by real sentiment shifts, not just random speculation.

When you mistake noise for momentum, you end up:

• Getting stopped out repeatedly
• Feeling like you're gambling instead of trading
• Watching your account bounce up and down without real progress

The Bottom Line

If you're struggling this year, it's probably not because your strategy is broken. It's because the market conditions have changed, and you need to adapt your approach.

Take some time to really understand what your strategy is designed to capture. Are you looking for genuine momentum moves, or are you accidentally trying to trade noise?

Because if you're using a momentum strategy in a noisy market, you're going to have a bad time.
