James Brodie started out auditing for Arthur Andersen and did not particularly enjoy it. In the early 1990s he started to learn about derivatives at the largest bank in the world before ultimately moving to Credit Suisse. He’s lived in London, Singapore, New York and Tokyo trading currencies for both the banks and proprietary and then started his own hedge fund. James is also on the Board of the CMT Association. I really enjoyed the advice he gives about what he learned from 2 massive losses he’s taken throughout his career. James is a big fan of behavioral finance and we talk about different studies where we’ve learned that the better traders actually have more losing trades than winning trades. Currently James is watching Gold, EURJPY and US Interest Rates and talks about how he wants to trade them. This was a fun conversation where we covered a lot of things. [Read more…]
Video: Fibonacci and the Dow
I can’t think of a better time to talk about Fibonacci Extensions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average right now is fighting to break through an important cluster of extensions that stem from the last two epic peaks we had in the market: 2000 and 2007. A breakout above 27,000 could spark a new cyclical bull market that we believe falls within the context of an ongoing structural bull market. In other words, this is a more intermediate-term breakout (years) while structurally (decades) we have already been in a bull market since arguably 2013 or even 2016.
In this video I talk about 2 key extensions: 261.8% and 423.6% which is exactly where the Dow stopped going up in early 2018. Was 17 months enough time at these levels before we can move on? Let’s discuss: [Read more…]
[Premium] Playbook To Profit in Q3 2019
This is one of my favorite things to do: Forget everything that happened in the first half of the year and start from scratch. It doesn’t matter what we did or how we felt in early 2019. It’s irrelevant. We’re moving forward. This is my Q3 2019 Playbook.
Interest Rates at a Fork in the Road
In last night’s All Star Options Conference call, JC laid out a case for why interest rates look to be at an inflection point — the takeaway being that a big move is likely to happen from here. The problem is, we’re just as likely to rise as we are to fall. What to do?
While this type of directional indecision is likely to give pause to a straight equities player, we options traders can position ourselves to profit in either direction without having to pick one!

[Unlocked] A Valuable Exercise
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
Every time we see a few days of strength from Financials or Energy, people come out of the woodwork to call a bottom in the Value Factor.
After the last few weeks of action, we find ourselves back in this position.
So is this time different? Let’s take a look.
[Options Premium] Building a Breakout
Stocks are set to rip higher at the open today, which makes it tough to buy into some bullish opportunities here as they all will be running away from us. However, there is one name setting up where today’s enthusiasm should help us push through some minor resistance and get us targeting new all-time highs that were last seen back in September.

[Chart(s) of The Week] Small and Mid-Caps Set To Rip
From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting
We’ve been bearish the Micro/Small/Mid-Caps relative to Large and Mega-Caps from a structural perspective for most of the last year, however, last week’s rally confirmed the conditions we look to indicate potential outperformance in the coming weeks and months.
