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 […]

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 […]

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, Let’s rewind for a second. Over the past 6 or so weeks, markets have been falling apart. And it wasn’t just a straight shot down. First they dipped, then bounced, then the bottom fell out. And in the middle of all that? A whole lot of folks got blindsided. Because instead of reading […]

Hey Traders, Take a deep breath. If you’re reading this, you just lived through history. Because what we saw this week? That’s the kind of chaos that ends up in trading textbooks. We just had one of the most volatile 7-day periods ever. The top five of the biggest intraday point swings since 1967 happened […]

Hey Traders, I’m coming to you from the airport today, heading to Colorado. But before I take off, I want to talk about something that’s been stirring up the markets this week: this so-called ‘DeepSeek’ AI out of China. If you’ve been watching the headlines, you know what I’m talking about. Over the last few […]

Hey Traders, If you’ve been following my approach to trading, you know I’m all about following the trend. I don’t get bogged down by the news — in fact, I actively try to avoid it — and there’s a reason for that. Let me tell you a quick story. For a year now, people have […]

Hey Traders, Today, I want to talk about something I’ve mentioned before in a broad market context, but it’s worth repeating: gaps. That’s when a stock suddenly jumps up — sometimes on earnings, or maybe a change in management… Or sometimes just because of some wild, emotional reaction to news that doesn’t really make much […]

Hey traders, Can you believe it’s August 26th already? It feels like just yesterday that markets were “melting down,” but that was over three weeks ago — Friday, August 2nd and Monday, August 5th, to be exact. The market chaos we all felt has already started to fade from memory, but the lessons we can […]

Hey traders, Yesterday, I told you about a big problem in the market. It’s especially true for newer traders, but honestly everybody does it. They see a news headline come out or some new economic numbers — CPI, PPI, rate hike, you name it — and they trade based on that news. It’s a big […]
