How predictive is Slow Stochastics lately?
In today’s video, I break down some recent market action using slow stochastics. We’re seeing some interesting crossovers and divergences that could be pointing to short-term market moves. 📉📈
I’ll be watching tomorrow’s open closely, especially if we get that fast line crossing below the slow line above the 80 mark—typically a sign for a couple of days of downside. Just a reminder, though—these moves are often short-term and not predictive of long-term trends.
Join me as we trade smart and navigate these signals together! 💹

Which time frame to look at and when
🎥 In this video, I break down how I use different chart timeframes in my trading strategy. 📊 Whether it’s daily candles for swing trades or minute charts for exits, knowing when to switch your timeframe is key. I start with a 6-month daily candle chart for most trades, then adjust based on what I need to see—like zooming out for an all-time high check or zooming in for a tight exit. Tune in and trade smart!

Here’s what’s on tap for next week
Happy Monday! Starting the week off with some calm, but I think we’re in for a lot more action ahead. This week is packed with key data releases—PPI tomorrow, CPI on Wednesday, and the weekly unemployment figures on Thursday.

Take the Odds for a Bear Call Spread
On a recent Monday morning in MTM’s Group Coaching class, a student trader asked me to look at a trade idea involving Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS). Teaching and examining trade ideas is what the class is all about, so I was more than eager to check it out. The trade idea was a potential […]

Technical vs fundamental analysis: What’s the difference?
Hey, Dan Passarelli here! In this video, I’m breaking down the difference between technical and fundamental analysis—two key concepts in trading. Fundamental analysis focuses on the value of a company, analyzing factors like earnings, inflation, and financial health. Technical analysis, on the other hand, looks at market data, using price charts and indicators like RSI and MACD to make sense of market movements. Understanding these differences can help you trade smarter! #TradingTips #FundamentalAnalysis #TechnicalAnalysis #InvestSmart
Patience Is a Virtue in Volatile Markets
The markets have remained very volatile over the past several weeks. At the time of this writing, the S&P 500 had fallen over 2.3% in a day. It has been a bumpy road over the past few months for sure, and most likely it will continue to be for several more. Even though the markets […]
This is what market makers do
Hey everyone, it’s Dan Passarelli! I had an interesting discussion in the MTM community about how market makers hedge their positions. In a nutshell, it’s about managing Delta risk—like buying calls and then selling stock short to balance it out. When big players like Goldman or Morgan Stanley are involved, this hedging can significantly impact the stock market. Understanding this process can really improve your trading game.

Funded brokerage accounts
Hey everyone, it’s Dan Passarelli! Today, we’re talking about what a funded account is. Simply put, it’s an account you put money into, crucial for accessing all features in a brokerage. Without funding, you miss out on real-time data, seeing positions, and executing trades. While practice accounts are helpful, they have limitations. This explanation is for both new and experienced traders.
