There are two general types of traders: those who prefer to trade the ranges and those who prefer trends. Of course, there are two mindsets that correspond to these preferences: MisMatchers… natural skeptics who expect Reversals and Matchers… naturally ‘agreeable’ folks who expect continuation. In this webinar, Dr. Ried is going to elaborate on that concept and highlight two features in DAS that you might not be using that could contribute to this synergy....

At the same time, experienced traders will find that they can reap considerable profits by mastering more advanced breakout strategies. In this webinar, we will explore breakouts across multiple time frames as well as discuss popular entry...

Dear Traders, What a wild market we are in, thanks to the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 which is causing more lockdowns and restrictions in Europe and around the world. Apparently, our war with Covid is never going to end. All indexes are down, and IWM, as usual, is leading the weakness by dropping roughly 3%. Let’s see if this panic selling eventually ends, and if we see a Santa Claus rally this year. Brian, Jarad, Ardi,...

A couple of days ago a member sent me an email with a post that said, “a trader can’t force a trade any more than a surfer can force a wave to come together. Great surfers wait. They recognize patterns. When they see the perfect wave coming, they put themselves in the best possible position to catch it”. If you think about it, that is what traders do. It’s pretty much a 3-step process. Step 1: Preparation –...

Dear Traders, These are scary times in the stock market. Yesterday, Jerome Powell’s speech was heartwarming for Wall Street, and stocks such as SPY and QQQ surged to mostly new all-time highs. Today, on the other hand, a bloodbath is unfolding, especially for the highly overvalued technology companies in QQQ. One thing that Federal Reserve chair JPow got correct on Wednesday was his observation that no one can really predict what the market and the economy...

Higher volatility markets often attract traders as large price exploration and range expansion provide directional bias to exploit. Knowing the structure that markets leave behind in the form of 'Gaps' can provide additional edge for short-term levels and entry/targets, swing ideas as certain Gaps provide contunation and exhaustion, and can signal macro shifts in sentiment and perception. We'll explore trade strategies surrounding Gaps, leveraging previous Gap Fills and Volume Pockets in intraday trading, and how...

Dear Traders, I have now concluded the Extreme option of the Santo AntĂŁo Triangle Trail Race in Cape Verde, a collection of volcanic islands off the coast of northwest Africa. The race itself was just under 70 miles (110 km) in length with an elevation gain of some 22,000 feet (6,706 m), and I finished last! Yes, last, but at least I did finish! This was one of the harshest runs I have ever competed in!...

Dear Traders, I am writing this newsletter from Cape Verde, a beautiful island in the central Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. As you will recall from my last newsletter, I am participating in a 110 km (68 mile) trail running race. It is literally stunning here, and also very hot, which is a nice change from rainy and mild Vancouver. Do not ask me how I ended up here (!), but I am so...
