ETF Trading Signals That Help You Grow (and Protect) the Wealth You’ve Built.
The Technical Traders is an ETF investment newsletter for retirees and self-directed investors who manage their own brokerage accounts. Our proprietary ETF trading strategies generate clear, rules-based ETF buy sell signals designed to keep your capital in strengthening markets and step aside when meaningful weakness develops, so you don’t have to ride out every major decline or turn investing into a second job. Follow the ETF alerts yourself, or have them executed automatically in your own account.
Why Conventional Buy-and-Hold Fails Retirees and Self-Directed Investors
Did the last bear market cost you more than just money?
Do you remember how long it took to recover?
Tired of watching years of progress quietly erased?
There is a different way to protect what you’ve built—without blindly riding out every major decline or trying to predict and trade every market turn.
If you have ever thought, “I’ll wait until it gets back to even,” or gone the other direction and thought, “I need to do something before this gets worse,” you already understand the problem. Both reactions can feel responsible. One can lead to years of waiting. The other can lead to more trading, checking, and second-guessing.
We don’t manage your money. We help you manage it in a completely different way.
For decades, investors have been pushed toward two incomplete choices. The long-term investor thinks, “I don’t want to panic. I’ll wait until it comes back.” The active investor thinks, “I can’t just sit here. I need to do something.”
One can leave you exposed while years are spent recovering. The other can turn investing into constant monitoring, prediction, and second-guessing.
One path demands surrender. The other steals peace. Neither was built around the asset retirees cannot replace: time.
| Signal Parameter | How The Technical Traders Deliver It |
| Asset Vehicles | Highly liquid Index ETFs, Sector ETFs, Bond ETFs, and Currency/Commodity ETFs (e.g., SPY, QQQ, GLD, TLT, UUP) |
| Signal Frequency | Swing to position trades (typically held for weeks to months; no day-trading screen watching) |
| Trigger Mechanisms | Rules-based trend confirmation, inner-market hierarchy, and strict position management |
| Execution Options | Self-directed alerts (SMS & email buy/sell updates) or 100% automated trade execution in your brokerage account |
| Capital Preservation | Automatic rotation into cash equivalents or defensive assets when market distribution signals trigger |
The Traditional Advisor Approach
- Takes control of your accounts.
- Keeps you in buy-and-hold portfolios.
- Tells you to ride out major declines.
- Charges a percentage of assets managed.
- Leaves your retirement waiting on recovery.
Asset Revesting is built on a different belief.
You do not have to prove discipline by holding a weakening asset through a major decline. And you do not have to prove control by reacting to every market move.
Asset Revesting uses a different standard:
Does this asset still deserve my capital?
– Own strength.
– Step aside from meaningful weakness.
– Wait with purpose.
This is not about reacting to headlines or predicting every market turn. It is about using evidence and a published process to decide when market conditions still justify exposure—and when they do not.
Years spent recovering.
Progress quietly erased.
Plans pushed further away.
This approach exists to prevent that.
The goal is no longer just growth. It’s protecting what you’ve already built while continuing to move forward when conditions allow.
Either way, the objective is the same: fewer lost years, fewer major setbacks, and a smoother path forward.
You’re not the only one who’s started to question this.
If something about the old way no longer feels right, this is where a different perspective begins. One focused on protecting your time, keeping control of your assets, and securing your future.
Protect What You’ve Built.

What Subscribers Say About Our ETF Signals
Most investors don’t realize how much stress they’ve been carrying until it’s gone. Here’s what subscribers tell us after taking control of their own wealth preservation.
I want to thank Chris and the team for what I feel is an excellent service. I can easily review and listen to market summaries while getting ready for work in the morning, and the strategies require little ongoing effort beyond staying informed and executing trades as needed.
I joined technical traders in order to gain strategic market exposure in an increasingly volatile and hard-to-predict market. Utilizing a pure buy-and-hold strategy at this phase in the market cycle felt precarious to me, but not being exposed to the market and sitting in cash did not feel like a good idea either. Chris’s ACS strategy is excellent at achieving these desired outcomes!
These guys are the real deal!
A daily market analysis provides great value, and a proprietary model clearly communicates trends and triggers. I help oversee a Charitable Society (in addition to trading my own accounts), and Chris’s very clear call on gold and precious metals returned over $70,000 earlier this year, and we locked in gains.I’ve been a subscriber to The Technical Traders for a few months now, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my financial peace of mind. From the start, the staff has been incredibly friendly and accessible. The biweekly mentoring sessions are a huge bonus—everyone’s questions are addressed, whether basic or advanced —and the updates keep me informed without feeling overwhelmed.
What Happens After the Rally?
Markets rise, confidence returns and then comes the question every investor must confront: what happens next?
After the Rally challenges the traditional rules of investing, leaving wealth, retirement income, and lifestyle exposed when markets turn. Chris Vermeulen examines the hidden risks behind buy-and-hold, diversification, dividends, dollar-cost averaging, and active trading—and explains why recovering from a major loss can cost far more than money.
Discover the Asset Revesting Standard: a practical new framework for protecting what matters most—your wealth, your time, and the life you’ve worked to build.
The Asset Revesting Library: A 9-Book Series
What if the investing rules that helped you build wealth aren’t the same rules you should rely on to protect it?
The Asset Revesting Library is a nine-book series that challenges familiar investing beliefs—from buy-and-hold and diversification to dividend investing, retirement risk, active trading, and emotion-driven decisions.
Each book explores where traditional strategies can work, where they can break down, and the hidden costs they carry in lost time, flexibility, confidence, and opportunity.
Together, the series introduces Asset Revesting: the principle that every investment must continue to earn its place.
Asset Revesting: The Book Behind Our ETF Strategy
At some point, most investors have the same realization. The drop wasn’t the hardest part. It was everything that came after. The waiting. The slow climb back. The feeling of being stuck, just trying to get back to where you were.
Asset Revesting starts there. Not as a strategy, but as a different way of understanding what those moments really cost, and why they keep happening.
Inside, you’ll discover why traditional investing often costs more than money… and why protecting time may be one of the most important financial decisions you ever make.

For decades, high-net-worth investors have been trapped between two flawed options: either sacrificing their capital during brutal market declines or sacrificing their time staring at screens to manage risk themselves.
There is a cleaner path.
