Methods For A Messy Market

By now you know the deal.

I’m just here to keep it real.

My goal isn’t to hand out a pre-set number of weekly trade ideas or promise returns.

Markets don’t work that way. 

Anyone pretending they do usually learns that lesson eventually.

What I try to share is my process and how I’m navigating the market in real time.

That means being consistent with a process that reacts to the information the market gives us.

And then....being HONEST about what that information is ACTUALLY saying.

That’s what I owe the people who read my work.

HONESTY.

I’ve built my following by doing exactly that.

Being honest and leaning on the skills I’ve developed over the past decade studying technical analysis.

People are very good at creating narratives by manipulating data and calling it “research.”

That will never be me.

So let me keep it real.

The market is a mess.

Is that annoying? Yes.

Is it more fun to be saying something else? Of course.

But I owe you honesty. 

Just look at last week. 

It was the worst week for stocks in a year, and under the surface we’re continuing to see more breakdowns show up this week.

I root for the market to go up like everyone else. 

But I only position for it when the data tells me to.

Until then, we deal with the tape we have.

That part isn’t up to me.

So tomorrow at 5pm EST I’m going live for my weekly show.

This week’s topic: “Methods I Use in a Messy Market.”

I’ll walk through my process, how I think through markets like this, and some of the ways I keep myself sane when the tape gets sloppy.

Because eventually the market will resolve and cleaner opportunities will come.

In the meantime the job is simple.

Respect the mess.

Anyway, that’s my two cents.
