In this February 17, 2026 trading recap, the host reviews the intraday trade setups and outcomes for the QQQ ETF and silver (SLV). For QQQ, the strategy was bullish above 599 and bearish below 598, with key pivots at 601.61, 603.76, and targets up to 605. The price moved from a low of 594 to a high of 603.76, with volume spikes indicating entry points and scalping opportunities, though later consolidation showed low volume and limited upside. For silver, the plan was bullish above $68 and bearish below $67. The price briefly hit $68.21 (counted as a stop‑out) before dropping to a low of $65.14, hitting targets at $67, $66.50, $66, and $65.05, yielding a modest downside profit. The host emphasizes volume analysis, pivot levels, and moving averages (200‑day SMA/EMA) to justify trade decisions, and notes the outcomes (profits on both sides). The video concludes with a promotion for a weekly Dark Pool newsletter and a partnership with TrendSpider for real‑time institutional trade data.

Good afternoon, traders. It's Tuesday, February 17th at 3:39 PM. Let's review our trade setups we had for today. So we had the QQQs and we had silver. So the Q's, we were bullish above 599 and quarter bearish below 598. So the 599 and a quarter— well, actually there was a couple of them pre-markets. We dropped below 598, hitting a couple targets. And then right at the open, we came up and hit some targets up here at the pivot, 601.61. This initially dropped— we were bearish below 598, came all the way down to 594. So that was a nice 4-point move. And we see this test of a double bottom, increasing volume, breaking above. Look at that, that is a fantastic break and retest there, which failed. Increasing volume, great entry point, especially crossing this this at 597.21, and then this shot up to the 601, pulled back, tested the print pretty much to the penny, and came up and tagged our target here, 603.76. So I had mentioned that this was getting tighter up here, and, uh, we had targets at 604.69 and 605. So we could see this here, but this— we consolidated here, no volume. You can see this here, no volume. And so it's not a great idea to trade in this with low volume. When the volume's increasing like this, you can see this breaking down below and below the dollar level. Then this is pulled back to the 200 simple, 200 exponential, and this pivot here didn't hold. So there's some great scalping opportunities there. So hopefully you made some money on that one. So silver, we were bullish above $68, bearish below $67. The 68 tagged right here and it went to a high of 68.21. I'm going to count this as a stop out on the upside. Normally you wait for the candle to close and then before you actually get in on that, but the way that I'm tracking my wins and losses because they're callouts, it has to break and then hit a target. So I'm just for my record keeping on this whether I take the trade or not. So I'm going to count this as a stop out. And then we were bearish below 67. So we came down here, the 67 level between this and the 67.50. We have the pivot in the cam, and before the open we pulled back, came back up to test this again, and right at the open all the way down to 65.14. We had targets 67, 66.50, 66, and then 65.05, and this seems to have held Here, so it was a few pennies below before our next target anyway. But there was a decent move on the downside there. We came back increasing volume here a little bit on the turnaround, came back down, but it couldn't make a lower low. And so now it's just kind of fizzling out here through the day. So anyway, at least a dollar here on the downside for you if you were trading that one. Maybe $1.75 if you stayed in it a little bit longer. So there you have it, those are your trade setups for today, the results. So hopefully you made some money on those.
