There are weeks where nothing happens.

And then there are days where everything happens at once.

Today was one of those days..

Earlier this morning we held our January Market Blueprint strategy session.

These are my favorite webinars because it gives the TTI community an opportunity to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

We dive into every area of the market: indexes, commodities, bonds, sectors, industries, crypto and more.

Our main focus, especially at the start of the new year, was to figure out whether or not we should be buying, selling, or waiting..

So we did what we always do: we counted the uptrends and the downtrends.

The Global Bull Market

The United States stock market had a good year last year.

The S&P 500 closed up over 17%, NASDAQ up over 20%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Russell 2000 up and over 12%.

Those are respectable numbers in any year.. but consider the fact that we drew down nearly 20% in April? Last year was good.

But here's the issue..

When people think about the stock market, they think of only stocks within the United States.

Over the last fifteen years, that's been fine. For the most part, the US has obliterated international stocks.

But last year was different. Stocks outside of the US absolutely destroyed stocks within the US.

Can you even find SPY on the graph? It's down near the bottom at +17.93%.

Look at all of the countries that beat the crap out of the United States last year.

Does that scream bear market stuff? When Peru is up 87% on the year? I don't think so.

That's where a lot of traders and investors got it wrong last year. And will likely continue to get it wrong this year.

They're either fully focused on areas of the market that are underperforming.. like US stocks.

Or worse -- they're convinced this market is about to fall and are either sitting in cash and waiting or short.

Both historically bad choices when you look back at what typically comes before any steep correction: downtrends.

We didn't find many. As a matter of fact, we found so few that we realized we needed to be buying again..

Own The Weird Stuff Going Up

It sounds so simple but I promise you that if you spend more of your time focusing on buying the stuff going up versus going down, you're going to make more money.

It's not my opinion. It's math. Assets trend and we want to own the stuff trending higher. That's how you make a ton of money.

We use the Profits Over Prophets Framework to figure out what we want to own..

Trend. Relative Strength. Momentum.

Those are the three key elements to any successful trade.

But we go even deeper..

Our goal is to align ourselves within the primary uptrends of the market, focusing on the strongest sectors and industries to give us the greatest statistical advantage to make money.

Consider Ero Copper (ERO), a copper miner based in Brazil:

We bought this back in November as it broke out into new all-time highs.

Yes -- the market was choppy and uncomfortable back then. But that doesn't change the fact that we needed to buy new breakouts as long as the primary trend was higher. And it was.

Two months later and ERO is up nearly 25% from our entry. And our options contracts are just now hitting 100% into profits.

That means we're ready to Sell the Double on ERO this week.

We close half of the trade once it hits 100% into profits to pull back all of the original risk that we put into the trade.

That means there are only three available options left for our trade on ERO:

We breakeven on the trade should it fail to continue higher.

We make a little bit of money if the trade fails to hit our profit targets.

We make a LOT of money if the trade continues to trend higher over the course of the trade.

We cannot lose on this trade once we Sell the Double. It's literally the best way to manage your winners over the long term.

And for those of you with busy schedules.. jobs to work, businesses to run, kids to raise.. this is your secret weapon to making money without being glued to your screen all day.

Your Opportunity Starts Here

Earlier today we sold three massive wins: Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and Intel Corporation (INTC).

We opened all three of those trades months ago, Sold the Double, and then let the trend work for us.

All three trades were up and over 100% in profits. Morgan Stanley was over 800%.

We then sent out three new trades to open, capitalizing on new trends, themes and opportunities in the market.

All three are targeting six months out. Once again, the process continues.. Sell the Double when the new trades hit 100% into profit and then let the trends take over.

And the best part? We're focused on areas of the market that are working.. not the FinTwit specials or the hear about on CNBC every morning.

I'm talking about Financial stocks, Material stocks.. we're in commodities, we're in uptrends:

Like I said, some days everything happens at once.. we had a good day today.
