This Ain’t Pain — It’s Opportunity

Hey Traders,

Just yesterday, talking about the market going down, I said “This ain’t pain — it’s opportunity.”

And then overnight, the market slammed down again…

And what I said became more important than ever.

We’ve seen a sharp move lower in the broad market — and a lot of folks are panicking.

Not me.

Because if you’ve been following me the past month or two, you’ll know that as soon the market turned bearish, I turned bearish along with it.

Because the best way you can dramatically improve your trading is to trade in the same direction as the broad market.

So when the trend of the 3 major indexes — SPY, DIA and QQQ 3 turned bearish, I just switched my footing.

A Bear Market In Disguise

Starting in early March, I’ve been highlighting names that had been in bearish trends.

Because if there’s one thing I know, it’s that stocks that are trending down when markets are bullish or even “so-so”…

Are going to be the ones leading the pack down when markets turn bearish.

So when that weakness spilled out into the broad market… I was ready with tons of bearish trades

See for Yourself…

Here are just a few of the bearish tickers I’ve been tracking and recommending as this downturn picked up steam:

Here’s those tickers so you can copy them:

Each of these stocks has followed the same script:
Lower highs… lower lows… stuck below resistance…

And for anyone trading with me — especially using bear call spreads —these were ideal conditions.

The Market’s Not Broken — It’s Just Talking

See, I don’t believe in guessing what the reaction to Trump’s tariffs are going to be… what the Fed will do next… or getting whipped around by headlines.

I follow price. I follow trend.

And I sell premium — especially when it’s juiced by fear or greed.

That’s why I say this market downturn isn’t pain. It’s a setup for those who know how to trade it.

For income traders, this kind of volatility is a gift. For directional traders, the trend has already been doing the heavy lifting.

Most People Panic. We Get Paid.

Look — I get why people are scared.

But every time we go through one of these selloffs, I say the same thing:

We don’t panic. We trade what we see.

That’s what I’ve been doing with this list of ticker and others:
Spotting weakness individual stocks and trading it when the broad markets turn weak.

Let the Charts Do the Talking

Some of these are down 20%, 30%, even 50% — and the trend isn’t done yet.

This is what it means to trade with a market-driven approach.
Not by guessing. Not by predicting. And definitely not by picking bottoms.

By watching the charts and doing what they’re telling you.

You Don’t Need to Catch Tops and Bottoms

You just need to find clear direction, stay disciplined, and act.

That’s what I’ve been doing. That’s what I’ll keep doing.

And if you’re trading with me — either live or just following along — you’ve seen firsthand how powerful this approach can be. I’ll say it again:

This ain’t pain. It’s opportunity.

Let’s keep leaning into it.

Trade well,
Jack Carter

P.S. Here’s another thing I’m leaning into — a clear setup with a strong historical win rate on one of the most volatile stocks in the market.
