When It Feels Like a Sure Thing, Do This Instead

This week, we opened up free access to one of our most popular tools – TradeSmith Seasonality – ahead of our upcoming Prediction 2026 webinar. 

So today, I’ve got an interview where our top cycles trader, William McCanless, reveals how he uses it to spot the best opportunities in a chaotic market. 

William is somewhat of a contrarian. When every headline makes it sound like some investment is a “sure thing,” William loves taking the other side of the trade – when seasonality says otherwise. 

And in our interview, William even shares how TradeSmith’s recent software upgrades let him time trades down to the best day of the week… yielding a 15% gain in less than a week on one recent stock.  

Plus, he takes you through a live example of the optimal times to buy and sell Apple (AAPL) this year: 

The reason he can confidently walk you through those exact dates is simple… 

Supply and demand.  

Institutional traders, in particular, seem to want Apple (AAPL) stock at certain times of year – and not others. The same is true for all stocks, it turns out. 

For the next three days, TradeSmith is offering free access to our seasonality tool so you can explore these patterns yourself on any stock you own.  

Whether you want to buy at the best time… plan when to sell for maximum profit… or even use options strategies around seasonal dips – this tool gives you decades of statistics to support your ideas. 

To building wealth beyond measure,
