From $4 to $49: Why Opinions Don’t Matter—Only Price and Volume Do

Today we watched something wild unfold.

Ticker: $MCTR

Move: $4 to $49 Time: Less than 24 hours

Yeah, read that again. A small-cap rocket exploded nearly 1100% and left a trail of stunned traders in its wake.

But that’s not even the craziest part.

What stood out most to me today wasn’t the move itself—it was a message I got from one of our community members.

“Bob, I Heard It Was a Pump and Dump…”

They told me they got word earlier in the day that $MCTR was just a pump. That it wouldn’t make it past $10. That it was bound to collapse. And the kicker? The source they got it from was “highly respected” in the trading world.

Naturally, they were frustrated. Confused. A little angry. They reached out asking for my take—and I knew right then: this needs to be said here, publicly.

Nobody Knows Where a Stock Will Go. Nobody.

It doesn’t matter how long someone’s been trading. It doesn’t matter how many followers they have, how good their callouts were last week, or how confident they sound.

Nobody knows the top. Nobody knows the bottom.

They can guess. They can “predict.” They might even get lucky once or twice and look like a genius. But I promise you—they do not know.

And the faster you internalize that truth, the faster you can grow as a trader.

I’ve Been There Too

I’m not above it. I’ve fallen for opinions plenty of times—even years into trading with consistency.

Sometimes a buddy says, “That chart looks dead. ”Other times someone claims, “No way it breaks this level. ”And yeah, it messes with your head. You doubt your read. You hesitate. You exit early.

And then boom…The same stock you got talked out of breaks past every “limit” someone swore it had.

Sound familiar?

This Is Why We Focus on Two Things Only:

• Price Action
  

• Volume
  

Not opinions. Not rumors. Not some "pro" calling tops and bottoms in a chatroom.

The chart speaks. The volume shows conviction. The tape doesn’t lie.

How We Trade Moves Like $MCTR

We don’t guess targets. We respond to what the chart tells us.

• Scalp the momentum with tight risk.
  

• Combine trend indicators with entry triggers.
  

• Lock in green when the setup hits.
  

• Hold a small “lotto” size if continuation seems likely—but always with a plan.
  

No emotion. No ego. No opinion battles.

Just structure, discipline, and risk management.

Here’s the Hard Truth

The person who told you it wouldn’t pass $10? They were guessing.

Could they have been right? Sure. But being right once doesn’t mean they had edge. And if you let that noise influence your trades, you're trading their plan, not yours.

Final Thought

Don’t beat yourself up. We’ve all let opinions sneak in. A news article… a tweet… a trader you respect… It’s easy to get swayed.

But remember this:

📊 Volume and price action are the only truths in this game. 🎯 Stick to your strategy. Ignore the noise. 🚫 Filter off.
