How Stockscores Tools and Education Can Help You Make Stock Market Profits
Market Outlook – Trump Trades
Most of the market action somehow revolves around President Trump. Pro crypto policies helping crypto related stocks higher. The potential for changing US policy on Cannabis helping that group. Peace deals in the Middle East hurting oil prices, tariffs on China causing stock market volatility, investors seeking a safe haven from it all, giving strength to Gold. This is a good trading environment as long as you go to where the action is. Look for stocks trading abnormally and practice good risk management. If the trade isn’t working, take the small loss and move on to the next one.
This Week’s Market Minutes Video – Will the China Tariffs Crash the Stock Market?
Friday saw a strong sell off on news that there would be increased US tariffs on goods from China. Is this a catalyst for a more dramatic stock market crash. This week, I answer that question and teach you how to know when it is time to get out of the stock market. Plus, I do my regular stock market analysis and look at the trade of the week on NUAI.

Commentary – Why Some Traders Win, and Most Lose
Want to know how to consistently do well in the stock market? Let me give you an outline for the mindset you must have.
First, understand that the stock market is not fair. Some people get better information than others. They have an advantage.
Second, use this lack of fairness to your advantage. When people with better information act in the market, they leave a trail for the rest of us to follow. If you want to find stocks that have a better potential to move up significantly, don’t listen to what the media says. Don’t listen to what people say. Look only at what people are doing with their money.
When a stock suddenly shows strong buyer interest with stronger than normal volume, take notice. These are the characteristics of Alpha stocks and trading Alpha stocks is how you beat the market. They lead the pack.
Learn how to read a stock chart. If you don’t know how yet, sign up for my webinars in October, links above. Watch the free videos on the Stockscores YouTube channel. It is not hard, but it does take practice. You have to know the basics of chart reading because not every stock that shows abnormal price and volume activity is worth buying. Only those that make abnormal moves from a predictive pattern are worth considering. I can teach you how to read chart patterns.
Realize that even the best analysis on the stocks that have the most standout chart pattern breaks does not guarantee success. Trading is a numbers game. Some trades will work, some will work really well and others will be losers. What matters is how you do over 10 trades, not just one. This requires an appreciation for Expected Value. Don’t know what that is? I will teach you that to you in October.
Since you will not be right on every trade, you must be good at losing. You must know when to take a loss and have the discipline to take that loss when the market proves you wrong. Good losers do well in the market because their losses don’t outweigh their winners.
You must always be learning and evolving. The market has always been about human fear and greed but the ways to take advantage of it change over time. After 30 years of trading, I am still always looking for ways to be better. We have to be one step ahead of the crowd.
Finally, if you want to be successful in the market, focus on yourself. Emotional control, discipline, focus, determination and optimism are the characteristics of most good investors and traders. Whether you succeed or fail is entirely in your control, you just have to take the time to understand how the market really works and how to take advantage of it.
Back To Top
This week, I went in search of stocks that were hot recently, quieted down and are now starting to move again. I scanned for stocks up at least 20% today, between $1 and $20 and at least $50m in trading volume today. Here are 2 to consider:
1. DFLIDFLI breaks a pullback after a big run up early in October. Support at $1.
Back To Top
2. CANCAN breaks a flag pattern pullback today after coming alive the first week of October. Support at $1.05.
