Finding the right signals will give me all the confidence in the world, and simultaneously, it will define my risk before I enter a trade.
I always look for signs that the market may collapse, but also signs that it may recover. Having an open mind is what helps improve returns and prevent major biases that hurts risk management.
Last week I started looking at TLT, for example. This week, I’m still looking TLT. I want to see a move back above the 20-Day Moving Average to signal a potential for a trade there:
It’s just not quite getting there. But today, I’m looking at that move in TLT as a signal for a potential reversal in the market that could cause a bounce, particularly in tech. The reason behind this is that I’m seeing another defined risk trade that is often an early indicator of a tech move, and that’s in semiconductors. Looking at SMH, we can see why:
The risk is well-defined here by the 200-Day Moving Average in red. So, I can see a low risk entry with a potential for a leveraged return with options. And that’s a potentially great omen for tech, so let’s look at QQQ:
QQQ is performing a bit better than semiconductors and has a bit more risk since it’s further from the 200-Day Moving Average, but the last few days certainly make it look like we’ve found a level that investors are interested in tech stocks, and that’s potentially exciting.
Of course, for me personally, I’ll now take that input and apply it to my research on many individual names in the tech space. I’ll then look for names to add to my Outlier Watch List that can perform strongly in a bullish market environment, figure out how best to leverage those trades with options, define my risk, and look for some really interesting trading strategies.

6. Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.

No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.
