Hey Traders, Let me tell you something that applies to life and to trading: It’s a whole lot easier to avoid being 100% wrong than it is to try and be 100% right. Think about it… You don’t have to know the exact minute it’s going to start raining — you just carry an umbrella […]
We’re Almost Halfway Through 2025 — Are You Actually Trading It?
Jack Carter | June 4, 2025
Hey Traders, Hard to believe it’s already June. We’re nearly halfway through the year. That’s six months of opportunity behind us… and six more ahead. But let me ask you something — and be honest:Have you actually been trading it? Or did you spend the first half of this year on the sidelines — waiting […]
What a Prison Break Movie Can Teach You About Trading
Jack Carter | June 3, 2025
Hey Traders, This is a phenomenal market to trade right now. But more than anything, what matters — especially now — is focus. Whenever I think about focus, I think of the movie Papillon. If you’ve never seen it, it’s a classic. Steve McQueen (seen above) plays “Pap,” a guy locked up in a brutal […]
Don’t Let a Shiny Stock Derail You
Jack Carter | May 29, 2025
Hey Traders, I know it’s tempting out there. Every time you turn around, there’s another flashy headline — the latest AI breakthrough, a hot new quantum computing play, or some obscure biotech stock everyone on Reddit is pumping. And sure, it’s exciting. But if you want to be consistent in the market — and not […]
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, […]
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 […]
How To Be Right — Even When You’re (Almost) Wrong
Jack Carter | May 5, 2025
Hey Traders, A trade I did with my members last week was more than a win, it was a lesson. Because even though the trade ended up paying out, it came within inches of going the other way. Let me show you what happened — and why the strategy we used made all the difference. […]
Is It Magic? (or momentum?)
Jack Carter | April 30, 2025
Hey Traders, I never watch financial news. At least not on purpose. But this morning the radio happened to be on and I heard “S&P futures are down on ….” I didn’t even listen to the end. I think they said something about GDP. Honestly, it didn’t matter what they said. If you read yesterday’s […]
Don’t Let Hope Blind You
Jack Carter | April 25, 2025
Hey Traders, Let’s talk about something that trips up even the smartest traders… Hope. Hope can be helpful in life — but in trading? It’s dangerous. Especially in markets like this one. Yesterday, SPY closed strong — even popped above its 20-day moving average. But take a look at what’s happening today: a little up, […]
