The One Chart I Wouldn’t Trade Right Now…and Some That I Would
If there’s one setup that traders should be avoiding at all costs, it’s this one. It looks like it should be setting up for a major move, but it’s not going anywhere. Trapped in a range, grinding sideways for months, and offering little opportunity for big gains—this chart is a trap for anyone trying to trade momentum right now.
The worst part? This isn’t a small stock or an obscure sector. It’s the biggest, most-watched chart in the market, and everyone is waiting for a breakout that just won’t come.
So what’s keeping it stuck? And more importantly—how do you actually find trades when the market refuses to move? Let’s get into it.

We closed eight winners last week across all of our services, including a 5K Challenge trade that earned traders $1,600 in just over a week. But we also booked a large loss in Options Income Weekly on a stock whose fundamental story had changed.
Let’s take a closer look at what can be learned from that trade and at a new strategy we’ve introduced in the program that should help us make up that loss faster than we might be able to with cash-secured puts and covered calls alone.
Wall Street on Edge: Is the Market Headed for a February Selloff or a Surprise Rally?
The stock market has been on a tear in early 2024, but seasoned investors know that February isn’t always kind to Wall Street. Historically, this month has been a toss-up, with the S&P 500 averaging a slight decline. But with a mix of strong earnings, volatile economic data, and shifting central bank policies, could we be in for a market shakeup? If you’re wondering whether now is the time to buy, sell, or buckle up for a wild ride, keep reading—I will break down what’s driving the markets and where we might be heading next.
The Collapse No One Sees Coming: Is the Market on the Brink?
It always starts the same way—everything seems fine until suddenly, it’s not. Investors get comfortable, valuations soar, and just when the party reaches its peak, reality crashes in. This time, it might not be a slow decline but a violent shift in the market’s foundation. For the past two years, one sector has held up the entire house of cards: Tech. And if what we’re seeing now plays out, that foundation is about to crack. Will you be ready when it does?

This week, we’re looking at something called the “Inheritance Portfolio.” Not only does it prove that we’re in this with you at Trader’s Reserve, but it emphasizes the importance of being flexible in your approach and that you don’t have to perfectly time your trades.

The Smart Money is Watching This Market Setup—Are You?
Something big is happening under the surface of the S&P 500, and most traders are missing it. While everyone watches major indices grind higher (or struggle at resistance), there’s a way to spot where the next big moves could happen before they take off. It’s all about reading sector strength and knowing when to strike. Right now, a handful of S&P 500 sectors show signs that traders should pay attention. Not all sectors, though—We’re zeroing in on stocks that meet a very specific setup—one that could signal the next wave of upside momentum.

Roaring 2020s Are Here, But For How Long?
The market has been on an absolute tear lately. The stock market frenzy has been renewed due to artificial intelligence deals, cryptocurrency meme coins creating overnight millionaires, and the hope of deregulation across the broad market. There’s so much enthusiasm and hope, but does that translate into a good time to buy stocks? Let’s look at the data and how to protect yourself from the Fear of Missing Out trend.
Trump’s Inauguration Sparks a Market Rally
Investors responded decisively to President Donald Trump’s inauguration, propelling U.S. markets higher as optimism surged around potential economic reforms. Major indices posted solid gains due to the new administration’s anticipated tax cuts, deregulation, and other pro-growth policies.
