For those still on the fence about doing the Master Trader Program. I know it may seem like a big investment upfront (it was for me at the time) however it is THE BEST investment one can make for their financial future. Not only do you get all the charts and the incredible wisdom from my two favorite Mark's the program’s section on Risk Management has had a profound impact that extends far beyond trading. It’s completely reshaped how I approach risk in every area of my life—how I measure it, manage it, and make decisions with greater clarity and confidence!

I’ll be the first to admit—this rally has unfolded with very few stocks truly in buyable position (at least, speaking for my strategy), and for me, the results have been mixed at best. I did manage to latch onto a few nice winners, but the volatility whipped me in and out on a number of names which led to a lack of any real traction and net progress.
But that’s not unusual around a bottom and during the first leg up off a bear market low.
During the COVID recovery, the market shot off the lows, and we didn’t put on our first trade until April 6, 2020—and even then, I didn’t get aggressive for several months. That turned out to be a big year where I was up over 100% and my assistants Mark Ritchie and Brandon Hedgepath were up over 350%.
The 2003 and 2009 recoveries were V-shaped and both led to sustained bull markets that offered many opportunities later in the year.
Back in 1995, the market broke out of a long sideways consolidation (the opposite of a V shape recovery), yet I held back until months after the Dow was already making new all-time highs, due to a lack of stocks offering low risk entry points. That year was one of my largest, up over 400%.
The hallmark of a true professional is patience and consistency—and that boils down to one thing: discipline. If you don’t have the discipline to wait for your pitch, then you’d better get used to striking out. Don't get discouraged if this market has left you in the dust, you're not alone, and it's not unusual. What is unusual for most is rock-solid discipline. And that's why big performance is unusual.

Interesting week as the indexes for the most part are unchanged. I got hit on a couple positions recently such as TGTX and LTH after earnings. Volatility is still high. However I do see some names acting well after earnings such as DAVE, DUOL, HALO. But those names did not have low risk entry points for me to buy the kind of size I want to buy so I did not participate in those names.

Right now my exposure is still light and my attitude is to play small until I get traction then I will ramp up quickly and THAT is where my large returns come from.

SO to say it another way I am not focused on making money right now I am trying to gauge the feedback I am getting from MY BUYS and the stocks on my watch list to know when to start trading larger staying in the Stocks Tactics Feedback loop we talk about regularly at MPA. I am always focused on the process the money will come but right now I can't let the small losses I have taken recently discourage me from reading the market because once that changes I can make A BIG RETURN in a short amount of time.

I hope this is encouraging for some of you who are struggling because you may feel frustrated with the indexes up and you may still be down or flat. That is ok it is still a hard penny environment for the low risk trader.

I think this post is worth its weight in Gold! I was wrong coming into this week (Happens A lot😁) thinking we may get some pullback as we had rallied strongly since 4/21, but what Marky highlights here is really important! He just gave a few names we are watching we also screen daily constantly keeping an eye for more. What is strong can remain strong for longer than you might think.

So while the $SPY is working on its 9th consecutive green close here the key is NOT TO CHASE!
I'm looking for something like what I drew in as we're running into declining 50-day/200-day we will stall and IF (always big IF) we can avoid distribution and vol continue to calm down I'm going to get longer and look to get aggressive.

A lot of names are lacking 'right sides' and its because we've had little to no digestion. This could setup higher/lower doesn't really matter but some permutation of this where best names can put in some pivots/handles.

Biotech looks strong here ($TGTX, $ETON, $ADMA, $CLPT, $PEN, $HALO others). In tech I also watching ($PLTR, $SPOT, $DASH, $IBIT) for entries. Names aren't as important as you let them pick you IF things progress we should see lots more ideas and here is where you SHUT OFF the noise. You know you are doing it right when you feel like you're in a vacuum and don't care what ANYONE else thinks of your ideas/views.
