ChartPros Market Insights

Trading is not easy, but can be life changing.

We seldom meet a trader who isn't passionate about generating supplemental income, or even better, someone who desires to quit their day job to become a full time trader.

But many find that can be easy to say but hard to do.

Traditionally, many people make New Year's resolutions. Some promise themselves that they'll eat better, lose weight, behave nicer, stop bad habits, start new habits... You've probably been there done that.

But what about your trading? Have you made resolutions before? Like have more discipline? More patience? Stop chasing trades? Some may even consider quitting trading altogether?  

See what our New Year resolutions are...

Vince Koehn, a long time ChartPros Trade Room member talks about his success with Apex Funded Trader program.

We frequently get asked about various funded trading programs and we've reviewed plenty of them but historically never participated in or recommended any of them.

Until recently.

ChartPros has become a New Trader University partner which is led by world renowned trader Steve Burns.

Steve plans to feature and highlight ChartPros expertise with Fibonacci and periodically will provide access to ChartPros free trading tips and price action courses.

While the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day the global after-hours electronic trading system (GLOBEX) opened as normal Sunday evening at 6pm eastern time.  And given the US debt ceiling headline news over the long weekend the S&P 500 futures ticker /ES gapped up about 20 points on the open to keep the bulls firmly in control.

On the current ES weekly chart I've only marked it up with Support/Resistance and Trend. Also known as basic structure. In this view traders can see that price often ping pongs between historical levels before proceeding in its next direction.

If you'd like to enroll in the same exact Introduction to Price Action Trading using Support/Resistance and Trend course that I took earlier in my trading career we're offering it at an incredibly low price this week revealed at this link.

Fibonacci, often referred to as “Fibs”, are one of the most commonly used tools in Price Action Trading for trending markets in helping create measured price movements which can assist you in creating bi-directional future levels of interest and anticipate trend reversal zones.

This free guide will explain to you exactly what Fibonacci retracements and extensions are and how they should properly be used on your charts.

By definition, a bear market is when price drops 20% or more from its recent or all time highs.  So for the S&P 500 ticker /ES one could say that technically speaking the bear market is over because price is now approximately 15% off the all time high set back in October 2021.

But is the recent run up simply a "Bear Market Rally" or are the bulls firmly back in charge gunning for new all time highs?  See this before your next trade!

Follow along with ChartPros Founder Tom Winterstein as he charted in real time and walked through step by step to identify bi-directional levels of interest for the S&P 500 (ticker /ES). 

His analysis takes you through the last couple of months of 2022 and into 2023 and you'll see all the details as well as amazingly where price went to versus the anticipated levels so far.
