  • What One Long-Time Member Understands About Risk, Recovery, And Early Warning Signs

    I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the thoughts and feedback from one of our long-time subscribers. Jonny Mogs has been part of The Technical Traders community since 2020.

  • When Market Education Is Not Enough

    The Promise Of Learning To Trade Most self-directed traders and investors start with the same idea: teach me how to fish, and I’ll eat for life. I understand that mindset completely. It is a noble goal. People want independence, control, and the satisfaction of saying, “I figured this out myself.” That desire is one of…

  • The Market Rewarded Him. Then It Taught Him the Harder Lesson.

    From Free Follower to Paid Member One trader’s extraordinary journey from $16,000 to $258,000 Image note: Composite visual based on the member-provided screenshot and reported account-growth details.

  • Why Market Excitement Should Not Control Retirement Capital

    The Part Of Trading Most People Do Not Talk About I’ll be the first to admit that the markets hooked me early. Not only because of the financial opportunity, but because of the energy. There is something about watching price move, seeing a setup develop, and feeling that pressure of a decision that can pull…

  • It’s Not Bearish To Respect The Road Ahead

    Last year, I wrote an article to share why being called a “perma-bear” is actually one of the best compliments I can get. To me, it means I’m paying attention to risk, preparing for difficult conditions, and doing my best to help investors avoid the kind of financial pain I went through years ago. And…

  • Why I Update My Strategies — And Why I Never Do It Based on Emotion

    Over the last two decades, I’ve spent tens of thousands of hours testing, refining, and automating the strategies that now power everything we do at The Technical Traders. These aren’t just systems — they are the result of real-world experience, market cycles, capital protection, personal failures, and disciplined research.  One of the most common questions…

  • The Questions Every Investor Asks – And the Shift That Changes Everything

    Throughout my trading and investing career, I’ve heard just about every market question you can imagine. Chances are, you’ve asked some of these yourself: Different words, same feeling—uncertainty. And I get it. I’ve been there too. Why I Care About These Questions I don’t just see these as casual curiosity. I see the emotion behind…

  • Why Strategy Alone Isn’t Enough—and What Took Me Years to Understand

    Over the years, I’ve seen a major misconception in the trading world—and I fell into this trap myself early on. You’ll often hear people showing off their strategies. “We got in here, sold there, made this much—see how powerful this system is?” It looks impressive, and I used to chase that kind of thing too….

  • Why Trading Feels Harder Than It Should — And What to Do About It

    If you’ve been trading or investing for any amount of time, chances are you’ve asked yourself: Why does this still feel so hard? I’ve been there. You’ve put in the hours—studying chart patterns, learning technical indicators, watching every move of the market. You know the strategies. You’ve watched the videos. You’ve practiced discipline. You’ve been…

  • Important Community Alert, Fake AI Impersonation Scams Using My Name

    I want to make everyone aware of an important issue that was recently brought to my attention by one of our members. A fake AI-generated YouTube channel has been created that appears to be me. This is not my channel. It is an impersonation designed to mislead people into a scam. I am sharing this…

  • The Danger of Holding Dividend-Paying Stocks in a Bear Market 

    Dividend-paying stocks are often seen as a safe haven for investors seeking steady income. However, during a bear market, the perceived safety of these investments can be misleading. This article delves into the dangers of holding dividend-paying stocks in a bear market by answering key questions: What can happen to the companies that pay dividends?…

  • From Media Hype To Missed Exits, Lessons From Cathie Wood To Tom Lee

    Tom Lee is the new hero, but remember what happened to Cathie Wood in the same situation? If you have been investing for a few decades, you already know the market spends a lot of years drifting higher. That slow upward tide is exactly what makes the messages of Wall Street, the big advisory firms,…

  • The Confidence Trap: Why Smart Investors Still Blow Up in Bull Markets

    I love my morning coffee on the dock or patio couch to get creative, and this weekend I wrote an enjoyable and educational article for you. Recently, I spoke with two self-directed traders and investors on the phone — Dan and Jerry. Both were highly intelligent, professionals at what they do, and had built up…

  • A “Perma Bear” Walks Into A Bull Market… I’m Guilty

    Why Being Called a “Perma Bear” Is the Best Compliment I Could Get The other night, my family and I went out for dinner, and one of the kids had a little magnet drawing board to play with. My son and I like to draw scenes where we each draw one thing at a time…

  • Why Free Market Analysis Can Cost More Than You Think

    My neighbour was cleaning out his garage and gave me a box that had a new Dehavilland Beaver RC plane. It was a lucky win to get this toy. But, when it comes to free financial research and ideas, they generally don’t fly or work out in helping you make money and consistently grow your…
