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 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 […]
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 […]
Driving Blind (don’t let this be you)
Jack Carter | April 28, 2025
Hey Traders, Have you ever driven on a road without lines? Or maybe during a snowstorm or a heavy rainstorm where the lane markings get buried under all the mess? If that’s ever happened to you, what did you notice? You probably found yourself drifting without even realizing it. Maybe you veered too close to […]

Jack Carter | April 21, 2025
Hey Traders, Take a step back for a second. What’s happening right now in the market? Here’s a SPY chart. Take a look at it and think about what you see: Is it chaos? Is it crazy? Is it unpredictable? Nope.It’s just a downtrend… doing its job. Think about it: This is not chaos. If […]
Why Bearish Markets Don’t Bother Me One Bit
Jack Carter | April 17, 2025
Hey Traders, I’ve been talking to you a lot lately about the broad market — and how it’s been getting more and more bearish by the day. And yeah, if you want, you can go out and throw on a bear call spread on the SPY, DIA, or QQQ. Nothing wrong with that. But me […]
