Remember these retail traders who were borrowing from banks and friends to buy SpaceX $SPCX on its IPO day? RIP 🪦

#WTI Uh oh... a red weekly candlestick on US oil after precisely a 2 week bounce.

I wonder what happens next?

Back in May 2026, #mikemcglone11 and I predicted oil would collapse to $50 before $200

Nobody believed us.

Now were on the verge of a fuel shortage due to so much refining capacity being destroyed in Russia and the Middle East, which creates an oil glut

Nasdaq $NDX stocks above the 200 day moving average is back on trend.

Big earnings coming up this week. That should provide a bounce.

30-Year Treasury Yield approaching its highest level since the run-up to the Global Financial Crisis 🚨 🚨

Total Margin Debt hits $1.5 Trillion, a new all-time high 🤯 👀

Investors have stopped buying SpaceX $SPCX

Most people don't know this, but you can actually set up the new Kimi K3 model to run natively inside of Codex.

It only takes ~5 minutes to set up, and it literally 10x's your AI productivity.

Watch how:

Robinhood just officially launched its new AI agent MCP.

In <60 seconds, you can connect ANY AI agent to the Robinhood platform.

Your agents can research, trade, and manage your entire portfolio.

If you inject this prompt into Claude - it will set it up for you

Robinhood's new agentic trading MCP is live now.

In <60 seconds, you can set it up to have AI agents trade autonomously on your behalf.

This is hands down the easiest way for anyone to get started with AI trading.

Here's how to get started (you'll want to save this):

Step 1. Pick your AI platform

Robinhood's Trading MCP works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok, and more.

Pick your preferred harness for trading (I like Claude).

Step 2. Connect it

For Claude Code, run this in your terminal:

" claude mcp add robinhood-trading --transport http agent.robinhood.com/mcp/trading "

Then type /mcp, select robinhood-trading, and authenticate.

For Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the MCP link.

For ChatGPT: turn on Developer Mode, Settings → Apps → Create app → paste the link.

Step 3. Open your Agentic account

Once you authenticate, Robinhood auto-opens onboarding for a dedicated Agentic account. Your agent can only ever trade inside this account, not your primary one.

Step 4. Start prompting

Once connected, your agent can check your portfolio, buying power, and account details, and place trades on your behalf.

Some real examples straight from Robinhood's own docs:

→ "Build a portfolio of little-known tickers across the AI supply chain based on news and industry reports"
→ "Buy $100 of ROAR every time the price decreases 2% or more in 1 day"
→ "Rebalance my portfolio to 20% ROAR and 80% HMNI"
→ "Look at my portfolio and tell me what risks I'm exposed to"
→ "Build a bull and bear thesis for ROAR based on news, sentiment, and recent quotes"

This is the only post you need to master loop engineering,

If you still feel overwhelmed with /loop - you'll want to save this.

To be honest, prompt engineering is dead. Your only focus should be on mastering loop engineering.

Here's the entire framework broken down:

The old way vs the new way of prompting

Old way: you prompt → AI responds → you check it → you reprompt → repeat.

New way: you define the goal once. The AI tries something, checks its own work, fixes errors, tries again, and marks itself done.

This only works now because Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol are actually smart enough to self-correct.

The 2 commands that matter for loop engineering

→ /goal: the mission. What you want achieved and the exact conditions for when it's done.

→ /loop: the interval. How often you want that mission repeated (every minute, hour, day).

Inner loop vs outer loop (most people miss this)

Inner loops: one mission, run internally.

Example: "Audit my website like a $5K consultant. List 10 issues with severity, location, and a fix. Stop after 12 turns." - One task, self-corrected until done.

Outer loop: a recurring job on a schedule.

Examples: Scanning competitor channels every day, monitoring your niche on X - these run indefinitely, and self-improving each cycle.

This is the absolute bare-bones of loop engineering, and if you have no clue where to start, just start with these two commands and a basic inner/outer loop framework.

Pro tip:

Prompt Claude: "Based on everything you know about me and my context, help me build one useful inner & outer loop for my daily work."

I don't think people realize how easy it is to build a REAL AI trading bot in 2026.

If you have a laptop, WiFi, and 10 minutes of free time, you can automate your entire trading with Claude.

How to ACTUALLY build an AI trading bot (5 simple steps):

Step 1. Understand the architecture

Every trading bot, whether for stocks or crypto, is built from the same two parts:

→ The brain: strategizes your trading. Claude handles this.
→ The hands: executes your trades. This happens through an MCP connection.

Step 2. Pick your MCP connection (stocks)

For stocks, Alpaca is one of my favorites.

It's completely free and includes paper trading, so you can test everything with fake money before risking a cent of real capital.

Step 3. Connect it (3 sub-steps)

→ Sign up for an Alpaca account
→ Grab your API key
→ Plug the API key into Claude

Your brain and your hands are now connected.

Step 4. Pick your MCP connection (crypto)

Same exact process, different exchange.

Go to whichever exchange you use (Blofin, Binance, Bybit, etc) and grab your API key from account settings.

Step 5. Connect your exchange to Claude

Plug the key into Claude with a prompt like:

"I want to automate my trading with the Blofin MCP, connect my API key [insert key], and build a dashboard to manage my trading."

Once connected, Claude can read your positions, place trades, and manage everything through a single interface.

From here, you can build a fully custom dashboard (like the one shown below) to give your connections a nice interface for trading.

Super simple - save this so you don't forget it.

This has sparked fear that the largest IPO in history was purposely fast tracked into the indices after only 15 days, so retirement funds and passive investment funds were forced to buy at astronomical prices, and hold the bag the entire way down.

The "Don't Panic" segment: Solovyov has called on Russians to prepare for evacuations. 🔥🔥🔥

The propagandist predicts that Ukraine will launch attacks on Russian energy infrastructure this coming autumn and winter, likely placing many regions in an "extremely precarious situation." Solovyov's plan entails relocating between 200,000 and 400,000 residents from the Kursk and Bryansk regions (as well as from occupied territories) to the Volga region, the Urals, and the Far East.

But where are the Muscovites supposed to go?!
