After Friday’s pullback and today’s bounce, I’ve been getting the same question over and over… “Jack — are we still bullish here?” And my answer? Yes. I’m still bullish… until the market proves otherwise. Market Looks Wobbly — But It’s Not Broken Let’s look at the big picture. On Friday, we dipped below the 20-day […]
Why Most Option Buyers Lose — Even When They’re Right
Jack Carter | July 31, 2025
Hey Traders, I just read another study…Same conclusion as all the others: 95% of option buyers lose money at expiration. Let that sink in. Even when they’re right about the direction of the stock — most options buyers still end up losing money. And if that stat doesn’t wake you up, I don’t know what […]
Why I Don’t Waste Time Trying to Call a Bottom
Jack Carter | July 29, 2025
Hey Traders, I’ve mentioned this to you a lot before. I don’t mean to sound repetitive, but it’s at the core of everything I do: Before I ever put on a trade, I check the three big indices: SPY, QQQ, and DIA. I want to know what the market is doing — because if all […]
Too Much Blue
Jack Carter | June 30, 2025
Hey Traders, Take a look at the market. No really — look at it. That’s the SPY over the last six months with daily candles. Now think about all the headlines we’ve heard recently: If you were trading the headlines, you’d probably think the market’s in trouble. But now ask yourself… What’s really been happening? […]
The Headlines Say Chaos — The Charts Say Otherwise
Jack Carter | June 6, 2025
Hey Traders, If you’ve been glued to the news the past couple of months, you’d think the market’s gone completely off the rails. One day, a Trump tweet sends everything soaring.The next, another soundbite sends it crashing right back down. Another day it’s tariffs… or GDP or… who knows what? Quite honestly, it’s dizzying trying […]
The Market’s Turning — But It’s Not Quite There Yet
Jack Carter | May 13, 2025
Hey Traders, Right now, this market is choppy as ever. And when the headlines are all over the place — and momentum flips on a dime — technical analysis becomes more important than ever. You’ve got to stay on the right side of the action, even when the signals are messy. Let’s take a look […]
The Market’s Rallying — But I’m Still Watching This
Jack Carter | May 12, 2025
Hey Traders, On Friday, I showed you how the market’s been stuck between two key trendlines — and how, if you had those lines on your chart, none of this sideways chop should’ve surprised you. I ended that note by saying: “If you haven’t already started trading this way — I’ll show you the subtle […]
Trapped (Just Like I Told You)
Jack Carter | May 9, 2025
Hey Traders, Look at the headlines and you’d think this market is resilient. “Stocks rally on stronger jobs data”…“Investors shake off Fed jitters”…“Markets hold steady despite uncertainty”… Every day it’s something new. The financial media needs a reason — a story — to explain every move the market makes. But if you’ve been following me […]
Did You Spot the Trend?
Jack Carter | May 2, 2025
Hey Traders, Now, yesterday I gave you a challenge. I dropped seven tickers in your lap and asked you to do one simple thing: Use the chart blueprint I’ve shown you before to figure out whether each stock was bullish, bearish, or stuck in no-man’s land. Today, I’m going to walk you through each of […]
Can You Spot the Trend?
Jack Carter | May 1, 2025
Hey Traders, Let’s do a quick recap. Last week, I showed you how to read a bear market like a pro — just by looking at three moving averages on a chart. No fancy tools. No complicated systems. Just structure. Then yesterday, I told you exactly where to focus: “Right now, we’re seeing some individual […]
