On Feb. 27, TradeSmith’s Short-Term Health indicator flashed a sell signal on QQQ — the Nasdaq 100 ETF – for our subscribers.
One day later, the Iran war started… and the Nasdaq spent the next month and change falling as much as 8%.
Nobody saw the war coming… and our indicator didn’t see it, either. It just picked up something in the price action that said “get out now.”
And we never would’ve been able to share that warning if it weren’t for Mike Carr.
Mike is one of the sharpest minds we have at TradeSmith – and his background is genuinely unlike anyone in the business.
He spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and government – coding nuclear missile paths, working on cryptography for the National Security Agency, and even installing the earliest version of the internet at the Pentagon.
When he left public service, he went on to manage more than $200 million in assets before becoming a Certified Market Technician. Since then, he’s been publishing his ideas independently… and two years back, he joined us here at TradeSmith to help us develop new indicators and strategies.
Mike’s answer to the Iran War chaos isn’t to follow it more closely. It’s to stop following it entirely.
Instead, you should trust the price action. Trade your strategy with diligence. And use the TradeSmith tools that are specifically designed to cut through the noise.
In our conversation, we walk through three of those tools – Predictive Alpha, Short-Term Health, and Seasonality – and what each one is showing right now.
Watch the full interview here:
Make sure you watch until the end of the interview, where we share some early details about a big opportunity coming April 15.
This is something we’ve been building up to for years… and we’re sharing free, limited access to a new toolkit we think could change the way you trade entirely.
Be on the lookout next week for our latest breakthrough.
To building wealth beyond measure,
