The Market Went From Correction to All-Time High in 11 Days.

You know I do not sugarcoat things.

The S&P 500 fell nearly 10% from its January highs in late March. Then it recovered. Not slowly.

It returned to a new all-time high in 11 days. Bespoke Investment Group called it the fastest move from a correction of that size to a new record in 98 years.

If you were sitting in cash waiting for clarity, the clarity never came before the window closed. The news confirmed the turn after the market was already at new highs. That is how it has always worked.

The people who were positioned going into that move had a system for finding setups before they became obvious. 

They were reading something specific that told them where the opportunity was before the crowd saw it.

That is the only question that matters when a move like this happens. 

Not why it happened, not whether you should have known. Whether you have a system for the next one.

Jeff Bierman spent 38 years building that system. 

He spent 8 years as Chief Market Technician at TD Ameritrade ThinkOrSwim, where he built more than 230 of the technical studies that millions of traders still use today. 

Then he spent the years since refining four specific criteria that identify when a stock is about to make a fast, sharp move.

He built set of conditions that help him find overlooked opportunities. 

When two of the four align he takes the trade, and when all four align simultaneously he calls it full conviction.

It what makes his system unique is that he doesn’t go after the stocks everyone is talking about. 

For example, last year when all eyes were on Nvidia’s earnings…he saw a setup develop in Netflix.

His four criteria were aligning on a quiet chart. There was no news or upcoming catalysts in Netflix at the time. 

But Jeff didn’t need them. He just needed alignment.

He entered at $83.25. Four days later the stock was at $97.50.

The system ran exactly the way it is supposed to run.

The next move will not announce itself either. 

We just got headlines this morning that the Straight of Hormuz is closed again. And if that story sticks to Sunday night, expect volatility to come back into the market. 

There will be more opportunities, but only for those who have a system to take advantge of them. 

The replay of Jeff's presentation is available now. 

He built this system specifically to find setups before they become obvious.

If you want to be positioned for the next one instead of watching it close without you, start there.

To your success,
