After the first four days of tepid upward action, the market decided to take Friday off for the Labor Day Holiday weekend.
Some people might get twitchy about this, but without the benefit of hindsight, at this point there’s not much to get too twitchy about.
The indices are a bit overstretched, but that didn’t stop nearly every stock in my “little list” rising, some spectacularly so … Hello ALK again!

Market Outlook:
Our market commentary continues to be outstanding. Mastering market timing enables you to swim WITH the tide at the right time.
Last week I said:
I expect broad bullish follow throughs from solid bullish post earnings setups.
This was spot on with nearly every stock highlighted moving up.
With next week being a four-day week starting on Tuesday, and with one hour being a long time in these markets, I’m going to be neutral in terms of the indices. They could use a slight pullback, while those stocks that are shaping up nicely should continue to be attractive provided nothing dramatic happens in the meantime.
Watch the video for more detail.
Market Timers:
- Longer Term Market Timer (OVIsi):
Green. - Medium Term Swing Timer:
Bullish. - The Main Indices:
The DIA and IWM (completely different indices) continue to have decent blue OVIs. The SPY slightly less so but still blue, and the QQQ popped back into blue before dipping down into negative territory.

This weekend I’ve again focused on my usual preferences with a leaning towards post-earnings setups.
The key to consistency is to pick your playbook and stick to the best quality setups that conform to it. If the setups aren’t there, keep your powder dry for another time.
My playbook is OVI, near Key Levels, Shrinking Retracements, and a consolidation/sideways move. The other two Big Money Footprints are highly desirable but those four are essential to me! Increasingly, I’m researching the resulting impact of very short term momentum, and with my new VIP filters I’m also now looking more at overbought and oversold issues.

Software Upgrades:
We’ve deployed some big updates recently, and many more game-changing upgrades will be made in time for the London Stocks Summit on December 6th.
Lined up for later this year:
- Market Timing:
A significant upgrade to our Market Timing and Dashboard area is in planning. Given that this is one of our big strengths that I spend time with you on every week, it makes sense to give this a complete upgrade in line with new research that is being finalized.
A.I. Interfaces:
If you like using A.I. applications, then you’re going to love a particular development we have in the pipeline for you, namely GPT inside our charting application! - More Automation:
This is likely to result in an overhaul of our Home Hedge Fund / OVIcopilot application, relating to Market Timing and even some stock selection.
- Journal Upgrade:
Phase 1 and 2 are both deployed, and there’s much much more to come in due course! - Options Enhancements:
Key improvements made to the Pricer and Analyzer, and more to be made soon. - Dynamic Earnings Calendar:
Last week I gave demos of this in its unpolished state … This will be available for VIPs very soon!
More updates are on the way!
Upcoming Events:
Our Stocks VIP Summit in London is on the 6th of December! We’re going to upgrade this event, using the successes from Mayakoba as a blueprint.
