The One Lesson You Must Learn From This Market Recovery

With last week’s rousing recovery, small-caps now sit a whisker from record highs. The last quarter of twists and turns, of whoops and whirls, is now a memory. With all lost ground now recovered, it’s worth taking a moment for retrospection. What should we have learned from all the drama?

Rookie Corner : The Mechanics XI

  So over the last couple of weeks, we have found a couple of tools to put into our toolbox and this is going to slim down the time it takes us to research our quality trades.  We went through a spreadsheet that can help us calculate our entries, exits, and targets.  This same tool also

Options Theory: Trading Options Around Support & Resistance

Last Update: July 2021 Today we’re combining options and technical analysis. It’s a match made in trader Heaven and thus delivers happiness and, hopefully, dough – lots of dough.

Tackle Traders!  So about a year and a half ago, in a bourbon-fueled conversation, Matt and Tim Justice and myself were speculating on my next move after Legacy.

“What has happened in the past will happen again and again” – Jesse Livermore Hello Tackle Traders! I am going to take a guess and say that most people today use some type of social media to connect with friends, family, and colleagues.

  So last week we used the technique of checking the sector to enhance our probability of success in a trade.  I called it “churching up the trade”.  There is, even more, we can do to give ourselves an even better chance of being on the right side of a trade.  What if when we started

Environmental Hedging – Week #34: “Operation Market Garden” Begins

Three blogs and a little over a month have passed. Since the first one, we have kept an eye on the market and reviewed a few trades. We have also planted a few veggies with profits from trading the EH system and watched them grow. And finally, last week we experienced first-hand the importance of trade management as a

Tales of a Technician: A Plea for Position Sizing

I spotlighted Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) in the Options Report two weeks ago on account of its mouth-watering bull retracement pattern. Then the stock plunged some 13% overnight on the following news. This is an excerpt from a Fitch Ratings press release

We have drilled down our process even more with last weeks diddy.  We looked at the streamlining of our market bias by looking at the Overall Market and the Sector, then the Industry group and then finally the Stock itself.  This confirmation of similar direction can put the odds more in favor of a trade

Remember, the potential profit is $1.00 for the entire month. To see a profitable condor flip from up 40 cents to down $1.20 in one day can be gut-wrenching, to say the least. And, here’s the deal, the very next day (May 31st) RUT dropped enough for the Condor to return to $1.00.
