Hey, it's Tony.

Consumer prices just posted the largest monthly gain since 2022.

Gas is past $4 a gallon with the Iran war shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. Inflation jumped 3.3% year-over-year. The gasoline index alone soared 21.2% in a single month — the largest spike since the government started tracking it in 1967.

And I'm still executing the same "26 strategy" I've been using all along. Still averaging $620 per day.

Here's what inflation actually means for traders: it doesn't just make everything more expensive. It makes reliable income streams more valuable.

When your cost of living is rising, you need trading strategies that can consistently put cash in your pocket. Not theories. Not maybes. Consistent, repeatable income.

That's what I've built. A system that works regardless of what's happening with inflation, energy prices, or geopolitical chaos.

This Tuesday at 2PM ET, I'm walking through the complete approach.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • What "26" means and why it's the foundation of my $620 per day consistency

  • How I identify setups when markets are dominated by macro uncertainty

  • The exact rules that keep me disciplined through inflation shocks and energy spikes

  • Why this income-producing approach matters more in high-inflation environments

When everything costs more, you need strategies that make more. That's what Tuesday is about.

See you there, 

Tony Rago
