ThinkOrSwim's chart architect just revealed his 38-year system

The guy who built TOS charting (230+ studies) just revealed his 38-year system. When all 4 criteria align, he calls it full conviction...

You know I do not endorse things lightly.

Jeff Bierman was one of the first calls I made when we started TheoTrade. I knew him from ThinkOrSwim, where he spent 8 years building the charting infrastructure that millions of retail traders still use today. 

Over half the technical studies on that platform, more than 230 of them, came directly from Jeff's head.

He was not a guy who read about charts. He built the tools.

This afternoon he presented something he calls the Burn Signal. Thirty-eight years of watching price behavior, distilled into four specific criteria.

When two or more line up, he takes the trade. When all four line up simultaneously, he calls it full conviction.

Here is the part that got my attention. 

The same day Nvidia reported a blowout quarter, 68 billion in revenue, up 73% year over year, and the stock dropped 5% anyway.

Jeff was not watching Nvidia. He was watching Netflix, no headlines, or buzz at the time.

 

But his four criteria were aligning on a quiet chart.

He entered at $83.25. Four days later, the stock was at $97.50. Over $14 per share while every trader in the country was staring at the same old symbols.

And that’s not a one off. 

He had already entered Sprouts Farmers Market three days before that. In at $67.50, out at $75.50 four days later.

Same deal…no press release or known catalyst.

But the part that drove it home for me was AppLovin. It passed one of Jeff’s filters.

He checked the other three criteria. And they showed nothing. 

One of four. Minimum is two. He walked away.

AppLovin dropped over $120 per share after that.

That is the system working in both directions. 

For some traders, avoiding the wrong setup is just as valuable as finding the right one.

If you want to see exactly how the four criteria work, the specific examples he walked through, and what he is watching right now, that is where it lives.

To your success,
