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 Crossovers Are Here — and That’s a Big Deal
Jack Carter | May 15, 2025
Hey Traders, Let’s talk about something I watch very closely in this market: Crossovers. Not the ones from the news.Not the ones from Fed speakers. I mean trendline crossovers — where the short-term, intermediate, and long-term trendlines start to flip in the right direction. Because when that happens? It’s usually the first big signal that […]
No Drama, All Premium: NVDA Trade Recap
Jack Carter | May 14, 2025
Hey Traders, Last week’s market was a mess. We had choppy action, whiplash headlines, and a market that keeps trying to fight off a bearish structure by grinding higher. But if you’ve been trading with me, you already know how we handle weeks like this: We sell premium. We keep it tight. And we don’t […]
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 […]
This Market’s Still Trapped — Here’s What That Means for You
Jack Carter | May 7, 2025
Hey Traders, Just yesterday, I told you this market was trapped. Stuck between the trendlines. And right on cue, the S&P rallied up into the long-term 200-day moving average… and then rolled right back over. Was it the Fed? That’s what the headlines are saying today. But let’s be real — if the market had […]
How to Know If the Market’s Worth Trading Right Now
Jack Carter | May 6, 2025
Hey Traders, Let me ask you something: Would you try to drive through a blizzard with no visibility? Or cross a busy intersection blindfolded? No? Then why trade a market you can’t see clearly? Every trader needs to know this: There’s a big difference between the easiest markets to trade and the hardest. And if […]
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 […]
