Hey Market Pilots,Yesterday I had my second webinar and usually it is the same as the first one since there isn’t a lot that changes in a week. Well, this time is different! On Monday the 3rd I had my second best trading day of the year (out of three exceptional days so far) and pocketed $80K in one day. The best part of this is that the Moxie subscribers got to partake in the gains as well.  2020 has been bonkers, and for me what makes it even crazier … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, Last week was challenging. Mostly because there were events which threw confusion and unpredictable movements into the market. Earnings season is always chaotic as investors wait for news which will guide them until the next report and beyond, which during COVID-19, is a big question mark. On top of that, we had the FOMC report and as I have said in the past “It’s not the day of FOMC that matters, it’s the next day”. That was true once again this week. Then this is where we … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, Thank you to those of you who could make it to my webinar last night! It was a great turn out.I not only showcased how I made $100K in one day on my favorite Trampoline setup, I also showed that a mattress company, Sleep Number (SNBR), has easily moved well over 100% since the lows. If you were unable to attend last night’s webinar you can catch the replay here. Today, I want to follow up from that idea and show another mattress company that also has … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, I think most of us are geared and trained to trade to the long side. Meaning our eyes are most attuned to seeing bottoming and reversal patterns. We may be great at getting out at the top of a move, but perhaps we lack the ability to short when the time comes. I am not a big fan of going short anyway, so my way around this is to go long… long on an inverse ETF. An inverse EFT is a ticker that mimics another ETF but … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, This Market has been amazing when moving up, and disastrous when pulling back. Great positions and tickers will suddenly implode on you and go negative in your account if you aren’t proactive about profits and exits. Just ask me how I know. But there are a few key metrics that I have picked up and now rely on in this Fed fueled market to help protect me and keep my account ratcheting up. Because of those tools, my spidey senses are tingling and we should be trading … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, This write up is about how you may have to strike more than once to get the right entry and then how it became one of the my most picture perfect setups of July. Back on June 22nd, SPCE broke news of them getting some contract from NASA and its volume went from about 10 million shares to 53 million shares. Something serious was up so I notified the Moxie subscribers about going in. The idea was to catch an explosive momentum move. Well, that didn’t happen. … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, This week began quite nicely with the market opening with a gap up on Monday the 13th. However, that elation and satisfaction was short-lived and brutally squashed by a massive liquidation break in the middle of the day. Few were spared but tech got hit the hardest. Let me show you a few insights which kept me from panicking or going short. First, on the day of the liquidation break, the internals were not supporting the move. With such a huge move in the market, you would … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, On June 30th I wrote a piece about the SPY coming into the Daily 50 SMA and how we know when the bounce would be confirmed. I described how price can sometimes bounce exactly off a moving average or push a little past it before moving up. For my style of trading, I look at the lower time frames to see how that bounce is going to develop.  In the previous article I specified what I wanted to see from the charts in order to confirm the … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, New traders often ask me how much money do they need to have to be able to trade. My first answer is “none” because I suggest they paper trade before using real money. If for no other reason than to learn how to use the platform and avoid pushing the wrong button. I speak from experience because when I was in college, I was guilty of pushing the wrong button which cost me more than I would like to admit. The other reason to start with paper … Read more

Hey Market Pilots, Last week we had an exact double bottom bounce, which also coincided with a bounce off the Daily 50 SMA. This made for a very strong 4-day run into the 4th of July holiday, giving us traders fireworks of our own. The setup was also boosted by good economic numbers that came out Thursday morning, but the charts said price was too extended and therefore faded towards the end of the day. Now, where do we go? My expected behavior of the market after a bullish holiday … Read more
