Hey traders, Everyone wants fireworks. Big green candles, big red candles, drama. But most of the money I’ve made has come from understanding what’s happening when the market goes quiet — specifically when price trades inside a prior bar while the bigger trend is still intact. That’s where we are right now: On the show, […]

Hey traders, Quick market update and how I’m handling it. Lately, the tone’s shifted. The market isn’t as strong as it was a few sessions ago. We tagged support at my short-term 20 day trend point, slipped through it, and found firmer footing closer to the intermediate-term 50 day trend point — that’s a sign […]

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 […]

Hey Traders, A couple days ago, I talked about why I don’t bed on a stock’s “expected move” And as we saw with Nvidia, those expectations can burn option buyers fast. Nvidia and the “Expected Move” Trap Last week, options were pricing in a big swing for Nvidia’s earnings. Traders piled in, buying puts and […]

Hey Traders, I’m still out in Colorado this week, doing a little fishing and not worried about much. But I know a lot of folks got rattled this morning when the market started sliding. Here’s the thing — you shouldn’t be surprised. After the kind of run we’ve had lately, a pullback is natural. Could […]

Hey traders, Let’s face it — trading the market can feel overwhelming. Every day, there are thousands of tickers to choose from, headlines screaming about the latest breakout stock… And don’t forget every TV talking head has an opinion about what’s coming next. But what if I told you there’s a simple way to cut […]

Hey traders, We’re definitely in a bull market right now. But you don’t have to believe me or listen to those talking heads on TV. You can check the charts yourself Type in ticker symbols SPY, then DIA and finally QQQ, and look at it in a 6 month chart. You’ll see the trend is […]

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, If you’ve been trading for a while, you know the drill — the news, economic data, and reports are all over the place. One day, a report says everything’s on the up and up, and the next, they’re calling for a recession. It’s enough to make your head spin. Now, I’ve been at […]
