Another choppy, news-driven week in the markets which is not optimal for our style or purposes … So with earnings coming in just a few weeks anyway, I thought we’d just observe the markets this week because more optimal conditions will come around soon enough. This is also a huge lesson in trading our particular […]

Greetings from New York where I’m having a number of meetings but sadly not enough leisure time for my liking in such a wonderful city! With the markets creeping back up to their highs, there are several decent OVI and flag opportunities out there (plus some real gems!) but in today’s review I must emphasize […]
After Monday the summer holidays are officially over, and the main indices are likely to break their 4-week range within a week or two. Quite what the catalyst and decisive direction will be is still up for grabs, and continued volatility is a reasonable guess to make. But whatever happens, remember that being patient is […]
It’s like Groundhog Day! This week will sound much like the last few weeks. Yet another choppy week means we still have to be patient, but this is exactly where the money is made. Because we know exactly what we’re looking for, we can focus on “Trading What We See” … and right now what […]
Today’s market review has something for everyone. A full review, including stocks I’ve just filtered for, stocks I’ve been reviewing recently, and stocks that are providing a great learning lesson. A quick demo of my PRE-prototype mobile optimized TradeFinder. Not only will this end up being fully functional on mobile devices, but it will also […]

If last week was a damp squib then this week made up for it and there are more thrills and spills to follow, of that I am certain! Amazon gapped down while Starbucks gapped up, and my Exxon straddle is secure and poised for more risk free profit as I’ve de-risked the position. In today’s […]
Here we are at the halfway point for the year … Earnings is just two weeks away and this recent news-driven market is potentially on the cusp of making its mind up to reach for new highs. Now, we do live in slightly curious times where even one sniff of news can impact the market […]
While the three main indices approach recent highs, don’t be fooled as this is not being reflected in the broader markets. This doesn’t mean you can’t focus on those big index component stocks … in fact the most obvious setups are exactly what you should be focusing on. To that end, during today’s update I […]
After a choppy week or so, stocks are forming mainly bullish setups now, and I would expect the next week to be a good one. Remember the market isn’t there to make life easy for the average punter … but it can be pretty straightforward for those of us who have the right information at […]
