The noise surrounding the U.S. Interest Rate Market has been all Fed all the time. For headlines and theory, that's great. For market participants who live in the real world, we like to focus on what the market is actually doing, not what a...
Thank you to everyone who registered for the new All Star Charts membership. I'm super excited to have you guys as part of our team. Remember, we're all in this together trying to navigate through this market day in and day out....
It amazes me how we're almost in 2016 and you still hear what I consider to be intelligent and experienced market participants talk about technical analysis as a self fulfilling prophecy. A statement that technical analysis is self-fulfilling...
Last week I invited everyone to jump on a conference call to discuss what I think are the best 10 charts in the world. I don't want you to think that these are just...
