Hey traders, All week we’ve been building on a theme. First, I showed you how to check the condition of the market: is it bullish, bearish, or just stuck in the middle? Then yesterday, we talked about measuring the strength of the market by looking at new highs vs. new lows. Now let’s get to […]

Hey traders, Let’s talk about something I get asked all the time: “How do you know if the market’s strong or weak?” It’s not just about whether the market is going up or down. There’s a difference between market condition and market strength — and knowing the difference can keep you on the right side […]

Hey traders, Everybody dreams of doubling their money. But here’s the thing most folks don’t think about: the bigger a company gets, the harder it is to double. Think About Market Cap Market cap is just the value of all the shares added up. If a company is worth $1 billion and it doubles to […]

Hey traders, When most people think about trading, they think in terms of one trade at a time. Buy a stock, cross your fingers, hope it goes higher. That’s not how I do it. For me, trading is about stacking steady sources of income across different setups — so I’m not depending on any single […]

Hey Traders, Let me ask you something… How many times have you made money when you were wrong about a trade? If you’re like most folks, the answer is probably: never. And that’s not because you’re bad at trading — it’s because the way most people trade requires them to be exactly right. It’s not […]

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 […]

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 […]

Hey Traders, I’ve been talking a lot about how bearish this market is — because I’ve seen this movie before. Because when markets start slipping, traders tend to develop a dangerous habit. First, they get fearful. Then they get hopeful. They’ll see any little bounce — even just a 1-day pop — and suddenly think, […]
