TG Watkins Every week we rotate through the traders at Simpler Trading for the members-only weekly watch list, and this week it was my turn. I’m sharing it here because the theme ties right into my weekend review: extremes lead to reversion. Let’s take a deeper look at the mean reversion trade I’m watching and the setups … Read more
Bitcoin and gold look like two separate stories on the surface. Lay the weekly charts on top of each other, though, and they keep taking turns. Here is the Bitcoin vs gold correlation I have been talking about in interviews and in the Moxie room I was doing an interview earlier this week with a … Read more
Every time I talk about leveraged ETFs, someone tells me they decay. That’s not quite right. They don’t decay like an option does.

I got my first look at a stock chart standing next to my dad after he got home from work. High school is when I started taking it seriously, and I started my own trading education company at 30. Twenty plus years later, there are three things I would go back and tell that version … Read more
