TG Watkins Hey Market Pilot, This week the market is all about inverse trampoline moves – a revealing setup in price action. Using the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq (QQQ) as examples, I’ll point out this pattern on my charts. But what is an inverse trampoline move? It’s a market pattern that is comprised of two distinct … Read more
Hey Market Pilot, This week, I’m looking for a pullback in the indexes and some major stocks. In the video (posted below) I show examples of how stocks are setting up similarly to the indexes. Then, I show recent tickers which have already formed the patterns I am projecting onto the indexes. Finally, to end … Read more
Hey Market Pilot, We have seen wild swings in all directions over the last few weeks… Such action requires good traders to step back and analyze the “big picture” of market volatility. Right now, I’m looking for trends and patterns that will show me which way this market might sway. Check out this video (posted … Read more
Hey Market Pilot, We had an energetic move higher over the last two weeks which started the day before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and carried on past operating expenses (OPEX), partly due to a large amount of put options expiring.

That is why a major component of my trading style involves setting stops. I do this with almost every trade I take in order to protect my account from unexpected … Read more
