The First Pullback After New Highs: How I Prep, What I Trade, What I Avoid

Jack Carter | October 8, 2025

Hey traders, New highs make people nervous. I get it. You hear “bubble,“ you hear “it can’t keep going,“ and pretty soon you’re white-knuckling every tick. Here’s what nearly four decades in this game have taught me: When the market makes fresh all-time highs, the first pullback is often buyable. Not always. But often enough […]

Why I’m Still Bullish — And What Would Change My Mind

Jack Carter | August 4, 2025

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 I Don’t Trust Volume Without This One Filter

Jack Carter | August 1, 2025

Earlier this week, I showed you how I spotted a massive $3.3 million call buy — the kind of move that tells me smart money is getting into position before the headlines hit. But here’s the thing… Just because a big trade hits the tape doesn’t mean it’s a good setup. You can’t trust volume […]

Another Win on AVGO — Even In a Choppy Week

Jack Carter | June 2, 2025

Hey Traders, I’ll keep it simple: This past week’s 3-day trade on AVGO (Broadcom) was another clean win — the kind I love. And what makes it even better is that it worked out despite a week where the market felt a little overheated and unpredictable. That’s the power of structuring your trades in a […]

A Market in Chaos — And the One Thing That’s Held Steady

Jack Carter | May 30, 2025

Hey Traders, Take a look at these charts of SPY, DIA, and QQQ — and then think back to where we were just a few months ago. Back in early March, the market was starting to break down. SPY was falling hard. QQQ was sinking. DIA was already rolling over. The headlines were panicked, the […]

What Most Traders Miss (Even When It’s Right in Front of Them)

Jack Carter | May 28, 2025

Hey Traders, Ever had a moment where something was sitting right in front of you the whole time — but you just couldn’t see it? Maybe it’s your sunglasses on your head. Or your keys, sitting right there on the counter while you tear the house apart looking for them. You feel a little silly […]

When Resistance Turns Into Support

Jack Carter | May 23, 2025

Hey Traders, This morning started off with a jolt. Markets opened down hard — I’m talkin’ over 1% across each of the three major indexes — thanks to renewed tariff news making the rounds. Now normally, headlines like that get people all twisted up. You see red on the screen and folks start panicking. But […]

This Market’s Heating Up — Here’s How I’m Playing It

Jack Carter | May 22, 2025

Hey Traders, Let’s talk about what’s happening in the markets right now — because this shift is important. We’ve been through some chop, we’ve been cautious, and we’ve taken the high-odds trades when they’ve been there. But today? We’re seeing real bullish signs. The Trendlines Are Finally Lining Up I’m looking at the SPY — […]

Trade With the Tide (Not Against It)

Jack Carter | May 21, 2025

Hey Traders, As I’ve been saying lately… this market is shifting. We’re not out of the woods just yet — but the bearish stretch we saw starting in early March through the last week or two is starting to give way. You can feel it. And if you look at a chart the way I […]

Markets Moving Fast — But We’re Still Playing It Smart

Jack Carter | May 16, 2025

Hey Traders, Just three short weeks ago, I said Don’t let hope blind you. At the time, SPY had just managed to peek above the 20-day moving average. The bulls were getting excited, the headlines were turning rosy, and traders were starting to lean in. But I told you to pump the brakes. Back then, […]
