The beginning of the new year always offers an incredible amount of opportunity to traders and investors that can zero in on changing market trends, new themes and narratives. This year is no different. There are a number of new sectors breaking out, industry groups leading higher, and stocks poised for monster years. But there's one that has caught my attention over the last couple of months.. And while the traders inside of TTI are being rewarded right now for being early in this trade,...

Every few months, the market rolls out a new reason the AI trade is “over.” A couple of years ago it was NVDA and CoreWeave. Then it was Chinese AI. Then it was the Oracle debt crisis. The narrative always changes. But price never lies. The real engine behind AI continues to press higher the entire time. It isn't the Mag-7.. It's the entire Semiconductor industry. And it's trading at all-time highs. The Bull Market Reset Last year I went on record stating that a new bull market in Tech and...

Last night my wife and I found out that we're having another boy this year. I'm excited. Being a dad is easily the best thing I've ever had the honor of being. This morning as we picked up the house after a wild night filled with Brazilian churrasco, cachaça, cervejas that are so cold that they're more like a slushy than a beer, and more.. I hopped online to check out if I could find a Rolex to purchase for my second son. A long with a 529, a brokerage account, and whatever the hell the Trump...

Imagine holding a trade for twelve months and making nearly 2,000% in profits. Sounds ridiculous because most people can't do it. Not because it's necessarily hard.. but because most people can't think more than 5 minutes ahead without their brains melting down. Patience wins in the market. Time is your friend. And for those of us who live in the real world, filled with jobs or businesses we own or raising kids or whatever else.. We don't have a lot of time. So why don't more people who want...

Momentum is a powerful tool in the markets. Think it like as gasoline for the market.. you aren't going to get far on an empty tank. So when we look at seasonality data that suggests momentum is picking up, it's worth paying attention to. And today a very powerful seasonal indicator just fired off: the first five trading sessions of January ended green. The Early Sessions Matter The first five trading sessions of the year matter because they indicate where institutional demand is headed. By...

Believe it or not, technical analysis is one of the oldest forms of trading and investing in the market. Go back a couple hundred years and a Japanese rice merchant was using make shift charts to speculate on the price of rice. But the modern form of technical analysis that we know today -- trends, charts, market cycles, etc -- comes largely from Mr. Charles Dow. You see.. in the late 1800s Dow built the Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJTA) as a way to get a better understanding of how all...

The best trades come when everything lines up. It's something I stress inside of TTI daily. "Why are you buying this?" It's a question you should ask yourself every single time you hit the buy button. And if you can't come up with a compelling argument.. don't buy it. Here's how I justify my buys. Building The Bigger Picture We start with a holistic view of the market. Here's what that looks like: Using our top down process, we look at the entire picture: indexes, breadth, sentiment, sectors,...

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...

We're constantly looking for new trades, new themes, and new trends to profit off of. As a matter of fact, it's the most important part of all of this. Your number one job as a technical trader is to identify a trend as early as possible.. and take a position! And the end of the year is a fantastic time to go through the market and find those new trends. The earlier we spot where financial institutions are rotating capital into, the better.. because where they're placing their bets now means...
