Welcome to the Rebel Traders Podcast, where we dive deep into the world of trading with a unique and rebellious approach. In this episode, RT278, hosts Sean Donahoe and Phil Newton unpack the myth of traditional diversification and challenge the notion of a one-size-fits-all approach to trading strategies. Instead, they emphasize the power of diverse strategies, disciplinary prowess, and the evolving landscape of trading technologies. Through candid discussions, they share their personal experiences, insights, and the latest advancements in trading tools and solutions. Join us as we navigate the fascinating world of trading, dissecting actionable strategies, and exploring the keys to long-term success in the trading game.

On this episode of Rebel Traders Podcast, we're diving into whats moving and shaking the markets. As you know, we believe that markets are driven by human emotion and crowd psychology, so we discuss how lockdowns caused a bizarre boom-bust cycle of meme stocks.  We examine the movement of the stock market, including swings from highs to lows and the rise of short-term volatility options. Plus, Sean and Phil share their experience with day trading and offer tips for avoiding false breakouts and relying on outdated methods.  Despite uncertain markets, we explore why the Rebel Traders think there has never been a better time to be a trader, but caution listeners to have a mentor and follow a process for long-term success. Tune in to hear more about the challenges and opportunities in today's trading world!

After a (not-so-brief) sabbatical we're back with a new show format to liven things up. We're looking at the markets, whats rocking, and why a lot of people are looking at the current markets wrong.  We've been talking about various scenarios for a while now and they are all coming to pass. But, when you look through this new lens, there are opportunities everywhere when you realize where we REALLY are...  Sean and Phil break it all down and walk through what they are seeing.

In this episode of the Rebel Traders Podcast, we explore the harsh realities of trading that new traders may not fully appreciate. We discuss the importance of understanding that not every trade decision made will result in a profit and how to learn to accept losses as part of the business. We also provide strategies on how traders can overcome the fear of losing, reduce position size, and create a plan that is driven by data. Join us as we help traders of all levels make informed decisions and maximize their potential in the markets.

In this episode of our podcast, we cover the latest news in the world of finance and business. We'll discuss the continuing struggles of Tesla and the resurgence of Chinese stocks after their re-re-reopening. We also touch on the trend of remote work becoming more prevalent and the mixed effects it has on the job market. We'll also delve into the current state of the stock market, which has been experiencing a bear year. We compare this market to those of the past, such as the post-dot-com crash of 2001-2002 and the financial crisis of 2008, and discuss the potential for recovery in the coming years. Despite the bear market, we also highlight the fact that the stock market is not the same as the economy and the slow, orderly nature of the current sell-off. In the final segment, we delve into the idea of the market and economy rebalancing and preparing for growth in the future.

There are the Sith and the Jedi... The Light and The Dark. Hold on, I thought only the Sith deal in absolutes? And what the hell does that have to do with Trading? Well, there can be a balance between the two... The GREY area and that balance can also be brought into your trading too.  In this week's show, we look ahead to the Fed's 2-Day meeting, their expected 0.5% raise in rates, and CPI numbers coming out tomorrow.  More than that, we discuss a barometer for the markets that few people know about and can help you bring balance to your trading and maybe give you a little force sensitivity at the same time. 

Are you a lucky trader or an unlucky trader? Do you approach the markets with clarity or hope and optimism?  In this week's SOLO Podcast, Sean breaks down the "Traders Dissonance" and how developing the right mindset for trading can help create a buffer to the noise and discipline to be a better trader.  Not only that, with China opening up "Again" and some market moves that are teasing bullish territory, it could be an interesting end of year...

With riots sparking in China, the financial media is having a fear-laden field day with the resurgence of covid (that we talked about as a narrative shift months ago) and how that is affecting the markets.  We tackle that and other "Nooze Snooze" topics, as well as a possible false narrative about chip supplies and the semiconductor industry.  Also, we'll tackle how to navigate the markets as a trend trader when there are no trends.  All that and a ton more...

Some things never change, and there are history lessons that can make us infinitely better traders. I am not talking about looking left on the chart (which you SHOULD do!) We're talking about situations, examples, and lessons from previous events that have paved the way to today.  So, in this week's podcast, we're looking at the markets, Musk, and FTX, and then diving back into history for observations from 120 years ago that are as relevant today as there were then and how the Rebel Traders use this every day.  All that and a ton more...

As they continue to recount the counts and counting the counts of the counts in the midterms, the markets roll on with one of the biggest single day gains since 2020 and moving on very small 0.4% gain in CPI.  So, we break down the shenanigans and whats also happening in the world of Crypto that caused the fall of FTX and the ramifications for the industry.  All this and a ton more as Sean and Phil break it all down in this weeks' Rebel Traders Podcast

After a technical snafu across the board this episode was almost lost to the digital ether but it has been recovered and published in a timely manner.  In this episode we're pulling apart the midterm chaos, timeframe analysis and why its better to focus on one timeframe that works best for you rather than trying to talk yourself out of good trades and right into bad ones.  So, strap in and get ready to rock as the Rebel Traders break it all down.

With the Fed messing around and possibly overshooting, the Bank of England popping the biggest rate hike in 30+ years, and all sorts of doom and gloom ahead of the mid-terms... What is going on? Well, what if we said, "We don't care. It doesn't affect our trading?" That's because whatever we do, it doesn't matter if the markets are up, down, or sideways; there's a way to profit in any market.  And that's what we're discussing in this week's show... 

Click your fingers and see what happens. Oh, you don't have the gauntlet with 5 jewels?  Well, some would say the markets have been doing a wee bit of Thanos snapping as some popular stocks vanish (or at least get hit hard on earnings)  So, Sean and Phil dig into what's on the radar, and what's going on, and even though this podcast was released late due to a technical blip (Unrelated to the Marvel franchise), you can see what is getting the Rebel Traders excited for October and November with some interesting BULLISH stats.

Consolidations, how do you trade them? How do you identify them and why the hell is Sean attempting to rap? These are all questions we tackle in this week's Rebel Traders podcast as the rally we talked about last week sputters and putters to a standstill and we look at a lot of sideways movements in the markets.  Not only that, we look at the markets, what the flow of capital in and out suggests, and even more reasons we ignore the news...

With so-called experts moving the goal posts on what "IS" a recsession and trying to paint a rosey picture with unicorns, skittles and rainbows over what is a obvious rescession to anyone with a pair of eyes, there is a wee bit of light on the horizon.  A small chart pattern emerging that could be the start of a short term rally and while the Rebel Traders are still bearish, this could be an interesting moment leading into the end of the year where its traditionally a declining market. 

It happening again. Rapid rises, talking heads losing their mind "It's crashing Up!" as the markets whipsaw in a continued trend.  Along with the UK getting "Trussed Up", Elon getting his Tweet on and trading halted on the same day, its all fun and games until the music stops.  So, how do you navigate these times? Well, lets discuss in this weeks Rebel Traders Podcast.

Every trader has done this at some stage. Try, and curve fit a strategy that would have won last week to make it work this week. Only for it to fail and do the same again next week.  Stop trying to figure it out as you go along and create a robust process that allows you to trade daily. With so much noise in the markets, you need a way to filter it all out and work with a process and a plan...

With the Fed expected to hike interest rates another 75 points, talking heads losing their minds and ranting and raving... Rebel Traders do things differently.  And one thing we focus on is keeping things in a simple, production line process. Where the charts tell the REAL story outside of speculation and hyperbole.  Tune out the BS and here's how we do it... (And you can to!)

…Its been a hot minute or two. How have you been? Welcome back! After a wee hiatus that saw us rambling, drifting, motorbiking, and doing all sorts of crazy things for the last few weeks after some time off, the markets have been shaking and shifting.  So, the squirrels are saddled and ready to ride out as Sean and Phil are back on the Rebel Trader Ranch and ready to rock. After Tuesday's sell-off, they look at the actual reality of the markets and why it was just a knee-jerk reaction to something very apparent in the markets.  All that, plus a look at some trades that are setting up, how to filter out the noise of the markets, and much more...

It's earnings season. Time for CEOs, CFOs, and Spin Doctors to come out of the woodwork to make excuses, sweep data under the carpet, and hope no one notices.  With everything happening in the economy, a continuing downward spiral, and channel, you know there is a LOT of noise happening on those "Guidance" calls.  Well, how do you trade earnings? ... We'll cover that and a lot more. 

What's your opinion on Apple as a company? How about their stock? What about the Fed and inflation at 9 percent for June?  When you see your favorite news anchor, what do you feel about the topics their talking about?  What about your LEAST favorite news anchor? These all tap into our biases and these biases, left unchecked, can tarnish your trades, pound your portfolio and annhialate your account...  So, Sean breaks down how to recognize and eliminate these biases and sentiment circles from your trading and reveals a few nice trades along the way...

Predictions or scenarios? Here's the thing... Prior planning prevents piss poor performance you pheasant plucking plonker. Those that tend towards shouting predictions from the rooftops are 99.9% wrong. You know who I mean...   The "bat wielding" twonks! ... They thump their chest shouting "look how great I am?" Guess what, a broken clock is correct twice per day! ANYONE can luck out with predictions, but scenarios give you the flexability of profit. Listen in and we'll explain.

It occurs to us that when market participants stop talking and forecasting then that’s when something interesting is going to happen. Similarly, when the non-financial media are riding the coat tails of an often euphoric good thing. That is when it’s soon to be over.   Basically 180 degree thinking in the form of anti-market sentiment...    It’s weird I know. But true. How do you trade that?   Well, in this weeks "Messed Up Podcast", Sean breaks it down in detail. 

You've been hearing a lot of noise on the economy and markets. Every talking head furthering the mindvirus that keeps you from trading.  Listen, we're going to break this down why it DOES NOT MATTER what direction the markets are moving. Up, down, sideways, we don't care for one very specific reason... We're profitable in any of these markets.  But... Are you? Want to know what we do and how we do it. Listen in...

As the rest of the trading world waits for the FOMC meeting with clenched buttcheeks as Jay Powel announces another .75% rate hike, Sean and Phil are talking about alternative cash flows.  What?  The show notes get tossed out the window while they wax lyrical over the markets and what they are looking at doing with their profits to generate more revenue to pile back into the markets. From real estate, RV Parks, vending machines, laundramats, its a 100% left turn in Alberquerque and they care not what the markets are actually doing while others are in a flat bloody panic...

The markets go this way, they go that way but so many people get caught in the noise and it makes them second guess their strategy and ability.  Between death crosses, doom and gloom and talking heads talking themselves into pits of dispair, its the time for real traders to make themselves known and we're discussing what it takes to focus on the profits, even in panicing markets.

While Sean is airbourne and running across the country to pick up his new mobile office, Phil is left flying solo and tackling a very important concept that is often overlooked...  What we do is simple, we take complex things and refine them down to a simple process... BUT... It still requires work, focus and discipline.  So, listen in and see how to refine and get that focus starting today.

Ever ran through the highlands of Scotland in freezing cold weather wearing nothing but a kilt? It can be surprisingly liberating (No blue ribbons though!)  What about only trading for 30 minutes a day and then getting on with your life while the markets put money in your pocket?  Sounds great right? For many trades it seems an impossible dream... But not if you know what your doing and design your trading around your life instead of cramming life around your trading. Yeah, thats what we're going to cover in this week's Rebel Traders Podcast.

With the Fed saying it has no problems raising rates to combat inflation, the markets up and down like a fiddlers elbow... It's interesting times.  There is so much noise that is causing a panic for traders... But Rebel Traders know different.  In this week's episode, Sean and Phil show you how to cut out the noise, focus on the profits regardless of what the markets are doing and even if the big "R" word is being discussed more and more... 

Do you second guess your own strategy? Do you think the markets are against you and being manipulated by dark, evil figures who are poised to screw over your portfolio?  Well, in this weeks Rebel Traders Podcast, were tackling what is a very human mindset tinged with a wee bit of ranting as traders weather the storms of the current markets and we show you how to put on your big boy pants and "Suck it up Buttercup!"  These are the conditions that forge traders in fire and make you better, stronger and more profitable without the stress others are going through.

There have been some serious lessons and reminders after dissapearing out of the country for the last month and roaming in the gloaming as we say north of the Hadrians Wall...  And despite Putin, Inflation and talking heads screaming bloody murder, April has been one of my most profitable months. How? Well, by adjusting the dials on our trading and in this week's podcast, we break it all down and how you can fine-tune your trading to be more profitable, consistent and predictable without stress...

We've said it before and we'll say it again... It's a process. But trading doesn't have to be scary and if you keep your emotions in check, trade small and trade with a plan, you can be consistent and profitable.  However, there is that wee doubt, a little bit of fear and it can eat at your profits. So, as the Rebel Trader Roadshow nears to an end and Sean is planning his trip back to the other side of the pond, the Rebel Traders map out a path without worry to increase your wealth with trading.

The Rebel Trader Roadshow Liverpool edition kicks off with the Liver Birds (If you know, you know...) going LIVE from a random hotel room and tackling the tourist traps and tackling the market moves as they happen. From the hidden pyramid, devils contracts, travelling the world of history, ancient alien theories and even more, it all ties back to the markets in one way or another...

It seems everyone wants to have a hedge during uncertain times. With a puntastic approach to the topic, the Rebel Traders are going to disseminate things and show you when and where you would do a hedge or where NO hedge is required at all.  So, live from London and other parts of 'ol Blighty, its the Rebel Trader Roadshow...

Have you ever noticed that there are people who want to be instantly rich without the effort.  Well, one thing we talk about a lot is "The production line process" of trading. That its a long-term business and that progress comes from time in the trenches and experience.  We break that down, do some reality checks and throw a few "Only Fools and Horses..." references in there for good measure.  Sean even maps out a path from $100 to $1 Million with a hypotheitcal example of time in place.  Enjoy...

As the markets rally the talking heads are freaking out over death crosses. So, in a wee tip of the hat to Sir Terry Prachett, we pull a few lines from a wealth of satire and fire a few shots across the bows of the markets.  Listen in as we give you some context to the shenannigans and guidance on how to streamline your trading and wrangle in some consistency to your performance.

Can successful short-term trading actually be done? Can it provide a living/income? How long does it take to become profitable? What charts/ tools are best? These are just a few of the questions we get almost every day. So, we decided to sit down, dive deep and answer a TON of the most common questions we get asked and put a definitive lid on the proverbial Pandora's box. 

Golf is an expensive way of playing marbles but there are many trading analogies we can use.  Outside of being a 5 mile walk punctuated with dissapointments there are moments when you realize with a few tweaks and a a wee bit of experience you can dramatically improve your game. Well, the same applies to trading, especially if you want to be successful and profitable.  In this weeks Podcast, Sean and Phil break it down and show you how this applies to what you are doing RIGHT NOW (and how to get your Trading Game on track...) 

The number 7 is weird. Lucky number 7, 7 deadly sins, it's a prime number. 7 days in a week based on the 7 classical planets, the 7-year itch... Ok, let's not get weird...   But did you know there are 7 Rebel Trader Prime Rules for Trading? Well, there are now and in this week's podcast, Phil and Sean break them all down and how you can apply these in your trading to be more consistent, predictable, profitable, and time-efficient with your trading starting now...

There is a reason Casinos win and draw in huge sums of money every day. They are playing business while others are looking for the winning gamble.  There is a HUGE difference and advantage you can create with the right mindset and outlook on trading that gives you the edge.  So, Sean and Phil tackle this controversial topic, Sean gets riled up and on his soapbox more than a bit and presses his OWN buttons as he is very passionate about this failure in most traders, and they both outline how to overcome this mindset and forge a new smarter trader approach.

Chasing Alice down the squirrel hole is what we sometimes refer to as exploring a trading hypothesis.  Last October, we talked about the energy sector - long before the current saber-rattling. Sean was exploring aerospace and defense stocks at the end of last year. Last month semiconductors rose to Phil's attention along with metals and mining. In this week's show, the Rebel Traders break down how they find the optimal trades while chasing squirrels and ideas and exploring interesting sector plays...

Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show. So, when everyone is running for the pitchforks and torches consider where the opportunities are. Also, if you are the one grabbing the pitchfork yourself, take a step back, put it down and check your confirmation biases at the door because it could be costing you profits. 

Oh boy, where do we start? Well, picture a scene from "When Harry Met Sally"... He's looking at 1-hour timeframes, she's stuck on the 15 minute time frame.  There's a huge misunderstanding and suddenly flamingos are flying, coffee tables are tipped over and all chaos ensues, and weird and pained screams of "Yes!" are heard all across the room.  What has this got to do with trading? Well, get ready as Phil gets on the soap-box about one of his biggest pet peeves about the markets and they both get a wee bit focused on the right time and the right place...

The retracement appears to be over, for now, traders are no longer crying in their Wheaties and the financial networks are sweeping the last 2 weeks under the rug like it never even happened.  So, is it back to the "New Normal" in the markets, or is it the "Same 'Ol Situation!" Mötley Crüe style?  The Rebel Traders break down what is going on and how they are trading these markets without worry, concern, or stress... 

If you listened to the talking-heads you'd think the sky is falling, its chaos, cats and dogs living together... Utter mayhem...  In reality, this recent correction is a much-needed steam valve and in this week's podcast, the Rebel Traders break it down as we help you navigate these waters and avoid the numbskulls and numpties who are spreading the dumb advice without qualifying actions and interpretations.  Sean and Phil also reveal the top 18 stocks they look at every day for maximum returns in ANY environment.

If you are deeply dippy about the markets right now and wonder if this is a BUYABLE dip or just assuming it's a buyable dip, then listen up...  It would be best to have a wee bit of quality control and a distinction between assumption and confirmation.  So, while everyone is losing their minds (Again) and hyping that the sky is falling and the end is nigh... The Rebel Trades break it all down once more and highlight a few ways to bring consistency to your trading when everything seems to be breaking down... 

With the markets rolling forward and continuing their rising channel push, despite Fed, CDC, and inept policymaking.  The markets are doing what they do and the Rebel Traders are back in the saddle profiting from these markets. They are also tackling the misnomer of so-called high-probability strategies and why, looking in isolation, it's generally BS and why you need to take a wider angle look and a few other things.

With a wee bit of Bah Humbuggery (Yes, that's a new word!) we're looking at the ghosts of markets past, present, and future.  Looking back over major influences on the markets and how the markets have shaken off pretty much everything it had thrown at it for the last 2 years.  We look at the reasons why and what that means for 2022 as we take one last thrust into the podcast for the end of the year and set the plans for 2022. 

As the end of the year winds down and the Fed is looking to raise rates, Sean (Flying Solo) is looking at the ripples unfolding as institutional money preps the books for the end of year there are opportunities everywhere.  So, Sean digs in to use the information to hunt for opportunities and walks through what he does to use raised awareness to find trades and stocks no one else is looking at to find prime moves before they happen. 

As the markets shake off another Thanksgiving dip and recover their recent losses as if it never happened, the talking heads are tripping over themselves with talk of Santa Rally's as they do every year...  BUT... What's the truth? What do the numbers say and is the story on the charts matching what you hear thumping on the grapevine? Sean and Phil dig into the reality check that is much needed in these current markets...

If you're chasing a bear, a hedge or mitigating further losses, or simply wanting to get short... Then we're afraid we have some bad news  The time to prepare for the bear was two weeks ago before Omnicron, Unicron, Galvatron or Jay Powell tried to decide if he's Hawkish, Dovish or Optimus Prime.  However, there are some strategies you CAN employ in these markets and we break it all down in this weeks Podcast...

Most traders focus on the money. They get obsessed with how much they could have made, if they had Got in at the perfect time, if they had ridden Bitcoin up from pennies to thousands.  Long-term trading success comes from having a process. And in this week's show, we pull that apart, talk about how crowd psychology is so damned critical and how you can leverage that for trading success. Plus, of course, we have a few trades, a few laughs, and a whole ton of fun while doing it... 

What's the best piece of trading advice you've ever received? Well, we've covered a lot of ground over the last 226 episodes and, while triggering some trauma, we cover some core advice that has been learned the hard way and helps traders get more from the markets.   So, strap in, crank it up to 11, and get ready to rock this as we share some of the BIGGEST tips and strategies to capture more profits and protect your bottom line and sanity.

It all started on Monday. Stocks were exploding (still), ES was on a Godzilla rampage, the Dow was challenging its rising resistance highs...  Naz was past its channel boundary, even uncle Russell had rolled a D20 for rampage and broken its multi-month range...The markets were in full ‘gasm mode...   ... And then there is the VIX, which had also started to get as excited as a gremlin fed after midnight.   Something was off... The winds of change had swung the weather vane and that was not Mary Poppins floating in on a brolly to feed you a spoon full of sugar...  THIS was something different!   I looked at Sean, eyes wide...  Had he seen what I had?   With a knowing look... he whispered words I never thought to be heard...   We may be in trouble... We're DEFINITELY in trouble!

The FED has crawled out from under its rock to once again tell us the obvious. Does that affect your trading? Do the markets live and die by the utterings of Jerome Powell? Look, we've got ONE job to do... PROFIT from the markets and do so consistently. We've done it for over 25 years and mean tweets, rambling and bumbling politicians, and whoever is head-of-the-fed really doesn't matter when you have a consistent plan...  And that's what we'll cover in today's Podcast. So, strap in and rock on... It's going to be a fun ride!

With Sean still riding the Rebel Trader Roadshow and suffering from a James Hetfield sounding cold... It's a week of profit-taking. With a 10-day market rally, it's time to take cash off the table, stuff it under the mattress and wait for new entries. However, some are diving into the markets at the highs and may well be left holding the parcel when the music stops.  How do you avoid the urge to jump in and get left holding the ticking parcel? Well, that's what we're going to cover in today's podcast... 

What is the secret to being consistently profitable in trading? Is there are plan or process? Is it all magical pixie dust with a chance of smoke and mirrors?  In this week's Rebel Trader Roadshow (As Sean is broadcasting from a remote hotel room while he's out of town) they break down why the process you create and execute is critical to long-term success and how you can do it too!

First off the markets are buggering around again (as usual). It’s a bull trap... No... It’s a bear trap!   Patience is critical and while we were all set to fill our boots on Monday morning and outlined a solid plan of action during our group mentoring call. Come lunchtime, the markets flipped 180 degrees.   So, in this week's Rebel Traders Podcast we talk about when to pull the trigger and the skill of NOT pulling the trigger, and why that is so damned important.

The markets are diverging, pausing and Phil is having a nervous flamingo breakdown. All joking aside, these are interesting times as what we talked about 2 months ago is coming to pass as we said. The money flow is hesitating and resetting and that is time for profit... If you stay on target! So, in this week's show, we're talking about targets, where to aim, and how to hit that Womp Rat in Beggers Canyon in your T-16 (ok nerd reference... Deal with it!) So, strap in, let's get this party started...

Well, the markets have been crazy (again) this week - across the board AND the world...    Do we care? Not really... Why? We always lean toward the pure chartist side of the ledger as the story is RIGHT there... And when we DO look at the funny-mentals and tune into the talking heads, it often does nothing more than confirm why we prefer not to listen to them. In this week's podcast, we cut through the BS and get to the core, eliminating the noise and filtering to the actual trades that are RIGHT there on the charts... 

It's a scam! Said every trader who hasn't seen a "Green Day" outside of a rock concert! "Buy the Dip," they said, as they buy into another 2% down day. This no-lose trading robot looks really good! (Do we really need to comment on that?)   We've heard it all before, and we've all been there. A big part of the problem is not what you think the problem is. There are so many ways to make this trading thing work that it makes it hard to choose something right for your specific situation. That's what we're going to do in this week's show... and get YOU on track!

Have you ever just sat there staring at the charts? Not sure what to trade, what the chart is telling you?  Well, buckle up buttercup, its time to jump in the cockpit, go full throttle and watch as the markets do a 4G negative dive while we're inverted at 2 meters while keeping up foreign relations. And if you get that reference, you are awesome ;)

There are only 3 things you need to win big on the stock market... Big Balls, Lots of Cash, and a Strategy. Which one of those don't you have? In this week's show, the Rebel Traders dive into a new disturbing trend that shows just how few retail traders trade with a plan and how the losses are celebrated. That's not trading, that's NOT the business of trading. So, let's show you the better way...

Every trader is guilty of it, Sean and Phil included... Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20 but when it comes to trading what is GOING to happen versus what HAS happened a different set of non-rose-tinted glasses have to come out. However, some traders and so-called "Experts" live in the world of hindsight and there has to be clear lines drawn in the sand to avoid the traps, pitfalls and quagmires that hindsight trading can pull you into. 

There is so much going on in the world that when you turn on the news you can either let it raise your awareness and anxiety, stress and pull down your mood, enthusiasm and erode your sanity.  So, as the news cycles are the last to know anything, what can you do? Well, turn it off for a start... Obviously!  But, there's more to it than that. There are a ton of profits right there on the charts if you only take a few moments to look and look left.   Curious, well, listen in now and we'll explain...

With all the current turmoil in the middle east, the markets have not been happy for the last couple of days. The VIX spiked to previous channel highs, the SPY, DJI, and R2000 all shedding ground but STILL within reason and their established channels. So, what is a trader to do...? Well, after a market breakdown and looking at the motion of the market ocean, we looked at some ways to smooth out troubled waters and get a nibble at a few opportunities that presented themselves.

The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away. No no no , the other senate... Something about the infrastructure then - Not a single Star Destroyer in sight. Alright, there's a definite Star Wars theme going on here... TK421 has left his post and we're going to dive in to whats going on right now, what you can do and how...   So, let's make the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs and yes, Han shot first!

Is that trade you are looking at a Donkey or a thoroughbred racehorse ready to gallop to victory? Well, do you know which one of the two tends to make the most money?  In this week's show, the Rebel Traders break down how to identify which is which, how to profit from each and why you should roll up your sleeves, check its teeth, hooves and make sure this MF is ready to roll...

In this week's Podcast, we're doing something a little different... Something that crossed our desk and landed in our mailbox that made both Phil and Sean pause, sit up, and reflect on their own journies, trials as well as ups and downs...   There's a little of each of us in what we're about to share that is powerful, insightful and there are so many things wrapped in this episode that you need to hear...   Enjoy...

There is an old stock market saying that "If you wait long enough, you’ll always be right..." However, how much time is too long?    Do you want to wait 17 years to be right like the dotcom recovery of the NASDAQ? Or the multi-month COVID crash?   The Rebel Traders dive in on how to treat time as either an ally or an enemy and how to figure out what side of the fence you should be on and the opportunity costs of waiting too long. 

What are the charts telling you vs what the financial news networks and so-called experts telling you? What is the ACTUAL story your seeing laid right there before you in the last 200 bars? There is a real story to be told in every chart, even the single chart Warren Buffet's watched for the last 40+ years. It's all there if you know what to look at and in this week's show, we're stepping back in time to reset the clock and get a wee bit back to basics to find the profits and opportunities right there for you! 

A quick top-of-the-morning overview of the markets while everyone panics. Opportunity, no-panic for Rebel Traders and an overview of when the indexes are NOT the markets and a wee spike of Volatility we called 2 weeks ago.

There is a huge spate of “New Experts” who get things arse-backwards and upside down. This is causing a HUGE issue for traders who are just starting out and looking for the right info to make informed and intelligent decisions. So, in this week’s show, Sean and Phil reset the base, ground the wires and lay the foundation of Rebel Trader success and how you can find the best opportunities in the markets despite the noise and BS.

Fleeting moves make for clicks and attention in the news but for traders it just creates noise and confusion. We tackle a few recent examples and how to raise awareness, apply filters and eliminate doubt, risk and confusion with some "In the market LIVE examples" and how to turn other peoples panic into cold hard profits. It's all in the day of a Rebel Trader and this is HOW we do it... Yep, it's going to be ONE of those episodes!

Far too many traders are waiting for something. A clue, a confirmation, an invitation, a sign... Perhaps a gold embossed, hand-gilded card delivered on a silver platter by the Queen's personal butler who was brought out of retirement for one last tour of duty as a personal favor before he sailed back off into enjoying the twilight of his years... A card that has the tears of angels for a watermark and has the 3-word inscription from Elon Musk himself. His last message to anyone before he fires himself off to Mars... Just three words, a sign to end all signs - (that's right!) - Diamond Hands Baby!

Did you zig when you should have zagged? Did you know that even the same trader trading the same strategy can see different performance across different accounts? I’m not talking about a missed trade or two or a little slippage now and then. It can be as simple as when an account is started relative to the current cycle of the strategy. Well, in this week's episode we're going to talk about what happens when your trousers were down and mistress markets spanking you hard like an extra in 50 shade of grey with no happy ending in sight!

Indexes are nothing more than a visual snap shot of a small sample of stocks that gives you a flavor of what may be happening. Never has that been more relevant than these past few weeks. The indexes are flat... Completely flat... As a pancake. However, Individual stocks and some sectors are firing off like Elon to Mars. So, Sean and Phil and going to cut through the noise, zero in on the target and break down one issue many retail traders struggle with.

Think about this for a minute… Every strategy, no matter how bizarre will work at some time, even if by PURE luck. However, there is a secret to being long-term successful in ANY business and especially in the markets. In this weeks’ Rebel Traders, Sean and Phil break down the key elements to removing the noise, the BS and focusing on the long-term success of strategies that are proven in the markets and can yield long-term results. The variable factor… It’s YOU!

What do you choose? Why do you trade? What do you want from trading? Well, as always, and in a CHANGE of pace... Sean and Phil and going to flip the script and twist things up in a new and unique way. If you want to trade the Rebel Trader way, trade without BS, make trading work for you, then listen to this weeks Podcast because it will be a flamingo in a field full of pigeons (Listen to the show and that last part will make sense!)

Its time to celebrate with 200 rounds under the belt and the Rebel Traders are coming out of the corner strong. Looking for the knock-out combo of analysis, humor, 80's references and a few damned good trades along the way. So, as Bitcoin diving like an Olympic gold medalist on crack and Ethereum crashing like a Chinese rocket and being largely looked over by the news... Despite the partying in Rebel Trader HQ and the blasting of Kazoo's... There's still a LOT going on!

It's all doom and gloom. Turn on the news, someone did something somewhere and we should all PANIC, run around in circles. According to the talking heads, only listen to the attention grabbing, hyperbole and opinions of opposing views that get you nowhere other than confirmation of cognitive bias... Ahhh crap, already starting on the soap-box... Look, want to filter through the noise to find the gold gems behind the BS? Then, this week's Rebel Traders podcast if going to be your lighthouse in the storm of rampant shenanigans.

What kind of trader are you? Seriously, if you say down and mapped it out, what do you REALLY want from your trading? What do you stress about and what stops you from being consistently successful? What do you want long-term? These are the mental checkboxes that a lot of people don't actually consider as their NEEDS and WANTS... All the while, the markets plow on, money changes hands, trades are made and, flying solo, Sean gives an overview of a few areas of the markets tickling his "Spidey Senses" and calls BS on the Micro-Flash-Crash from Tuesday that had the markets in a panic for about 15 minutes before everyone regained their senses...

When it comes to your trades, what's the difference between a dip, a blip or a retracement? What is the context and is it always BTFD? Well, of course, we're going to tackle that with some real world examples that clear the noise, the bullshit and give you a solid foundation of trending... Not only that, we're diving into our portfolio, seeing whats tickling the radar and following up on some trades we have our eyes on, have positions on and some PRIME opportunities we see on the horizon.

With Netflix taking a dive along with airline stocks, a few opportunities open up when you are focused and not chasing squirrels up trees. Focus and elimination of marketing noise allow you to see the great trades laid out in front of you, if you can cut through the BS. Sean and Phil go through a few strategies they use to eliminate the noise, focus on their "Check Box" mindset and along the way, find a few prime trades that are set up.

Yeah we may be a wee bit early with singing Christmas songs but earnings season is upon us once more, financial punditry and spin is in full effect. With Bitcoin hitting all time highs, Coinbase doings a different spin on a $100B IPO, Bernie Madoff kicking the bucket and the NASDAQ falling back into sync... It's been an interesting bloody day in the markets. So, the Rebel Traders take their usual wry look at the markets, find the gold and if the trade sets up, the trade goes on...

A lot of retail traders rely on hope, luck, superstitions or the blind following of other people who can tell them what to do. That is NOT the Rebel Trader way... So, put your marbles away, ignore the ticking crocodile and listen up kiddies, it's time for a different hook... (See what I did there?) Sean and Phil are going to break down the FOUR principals for effective production line trading that eliminates all the blind faith and pixie dust with something a wee bit more concrete and replicable

One thing Sean teaches is that it's better to build your business around the life you want and not cram life around the business you have. Well, the same goes for trading and with both Phil and Sean treating trading as a business its all about maximizing your resources, time AND money. In this week's podcast, Sean and Phil break it down as to how they structure their styles of trading AROUND their lives to make the most of every trading day and the life it provides.

Another week of divergence, the markets uncertain what they are doing and even still, a wealth of opportunity for a Rebel Trader. There's a phrase we use a lot... "If the trade set's up, then the trade goes on." However, what do you do when you are struggling to find a good trade, what happens when there is a less-than-ideal trade on the tables? Are you looking for Bigfoot's footprint or the imprint of a tiny mouse? That's what we're going to break down in this weeks podcast.

In this week's show it's all systems go. The markets are doing their own thing, at their own pace. The VIX is at the lowest end of it's range for a while but Phil has his bear pants on and points to some worrying signs. On top of that, Sean and Phil demonstrate and break down why less is more when it comes to trading, focus and results with a deep dive into smarter trading methods that have served them both well for many years.

As the crash is canceled once again (like we said it would) there are a wealth of bullish trades on the cards and a lot of divergence in the markets. The Dow Jones is doing its own thing, the Nasdaq limping while the SPY and Russel are playing catch up. Interesting times and in this week's podcast we're going to find, filter, and sort the best opportunities and snipe a few moves as well.

There's no crocodiles in this show but there are a few snappy profit moves (See what we did there? Yeah it was bad but what can you do?). So, while Sean does the WORST impression of Mick Dundee the lads are talking about catching a falling knife in the markets. There's lots going on and this week is a mixed bag of nuts - Just like the FED - (Yeah, we went there!) and there's a ton to go over in this weeks show as we find some great stocks to trade, a few accidental opportunities and some wry looks at the mess that is the markets this week.

With a wee bit of a tech sell off, the NASDAQ and S&P 500 blowing off some steam as traders take some cash off the table, there are prime opportunities in the markets for a range of BTFD plays... ... And as you can expect, Sean and Phil are waiting with fingers on the trigger ready to take some shots, fill up their boots and prime their portfolios as they show you what they are doing and why.

With winter storms kicking the crap out of Texas, no water, intermittent power and flakey Internet, Sean is cranking the hamsters on the treadmill determined to make some traders while Phil is kicking his feet up. It's an interesting week with Bitcoin leaping past $52k, all time highs on the major indices and January retail numbers off the charts again. So, how do you NOT get killed in these markets and how do you navigate these waters the smart way? That's what we're covering this week...

With valentines day approaching we're taking a wry look at the markets that can either jilt you and make you smile from ear to ear and seeing what it takes to EXIT a trade the smart way. One thing we constantly shout from the rooftops is that we don't care what your "Position" says, you haven't made a dime until the position is closed and the cash is in your account. We'll give you some strategies in this weeks podcast to make sure those exists are more profitable and your risks are mitigated accordingly...

After the tumultuous week of diamond hands, stonks and RobinHood being accused of being the Sheriff of Nottingham, the Rebel Traders rip off the band-aid and what they said as it started last Wednesday came to pass... The music stopped, and unwary traders were left holding the rather smelly parcel. So, while many retail traders were getting their hot stock tips from meme-lords from Reddit, Sean and Phil were picking their targets elsewhere in a more profitable and lucrative sector as they followed the white rabbit even further down the market warren.

In this weeks show we tackle what happened with Gamestop, AMC and a few others that have hit the headlines with some crazy "Activist" trades that have shut down brokerages, may cause SEC investigations. We also tell you how to trade it (Hint, not what you expect!) On top of that, we tackle a wide range of questions we've been asked (and repeatedly) to create a wee bit of myth busting, reaffirming some of our methods and mindset and why Rebel Trading is the way to go for smarter more consistent trading...

It's all change at The White House and with a change in leadership how does that bode for the economy and markets moving forward? The Rebel Traders dig into the numbers and look ahead into some interesting opportunities. They also show how a spark of an idea can lead to interesting trades and some quick wins for stocks not usually on the radar.

With more political turmoil, Bitcoin in correction after blasting past $40k and a second impeachment and continued grandstanding, its been a bloody crazy week. However, the markets are resilient and just don't give a damn. So, while the talking heads are losing their minds, bustling egos are beating their chests, the Rebel Traders are sniping hot opportunities and trades. They are going to walk through how they filter 27k US equities into a handful of opportunities worth trading today.

With the first 7 days of 2021 being a wee bit more than interesting with political and civil unrest the Rebel Traders are taking a 50,000ft view of the markets. With 2020 in the rear view mirror they are looking ahead and rolling through the markets current environment to readjust, reaffirm and reset their portfolios and outlook on the year ahead.

We're dive into sherry, wrapping the pressies and sneak a few more candy-canes from the tree (Don't tell anyone!) So, in this weeks show we are rounding out 2020 with looking back on the trades, finding some last minute quick-hits and looking over portfolios to check performance. Not only that, we're finding, filtering and generating our universe of stocks and breaking down the process we use to find the stocks ACTUALLY worth trading and how we eliminate 99% of them that are just not worth our time or attention.

While we're dashing through DOW and staying above 30k it looks like the dovish fed is ploughing through in a one-horse powered clown car. it's time to take a look back over 2020. The Rebel Traders are taking a step back as they wind down the year to look over the portfolios of one of the most interesting years for trading in recorded history. So, come and join us as we look back and tear apart what is going on right now as well as what happened over the decade that was 2020.

With pretty much all major indexes reaching all time highs, there's a lot of interesting stocks to trade. Along with more unicorn IPOs and end of year outlooks, the Rebel Traders are having the pick of the pot. However, when picking potential trades are you looking at definite trades or stuck on "Maybe" trades. Sean and Phil break down what makes a good entry and a surprising strategy for forcing you to "Manage" trades.

With the DOW continuing to tickle 30,000, Bitcoin ticking $20,000 and the markets continuing to provide ripe opportunities every day there's one thing we have to consider.... RISK. In this weeks show, Sean and Phil tackle the big elephant in the room. While they break down what they are looking at in the markets, they also break down how to manage risk and show you simple ways to minimize the noise that could screw up your trading.

With the DOW tapping 30k this week and Bitcoin ticking around all time highs there is a lot to discuss in this week's Rebel Traders podcast. However, there is one thing no training program can ever teach is EXPERIENCE... That has to be learned the hard way... Or does it? Sean and Phil peel back the curtains on a wee method that can get you RAPID experience of market analysis in real-time in one of the most accelerated "Rebel Trader" methods ever...

With Tesla being ushered into the SPY, Bitcoin soaring past $18000 for the first time since 2017, and Boeing taking off again now that the 737 is allowed to commence flying again... There's a lot to talk about this week! The Rebel Traders are grabbing the proverbial bull by the horns and reveal what they are looking at and why. There's opportunities-a-plenty and they are also going to tackle one of the biggest misnomers that stifle new and inexperienced retail traders.

Well, with contested elections and a sudden announcement of a vaccine for Covid-19 that is 90% effective in trials, the markets are going a little bit bats&%t crazy. As always, there are opportunities everywhere and the Rebel Traders highlight those opportunities for the future and even some sniper shots for quick profits. They break down what’s happening, why and how to cash in when the markets crash upwards (Yes, we cringed when we said that!) and November is providing a lot of interesting options for Rebel Traders.

Well, give that guy a damned Redbull and keep him counting? That was the reaction one-day after the election and Sean was in full ranty-pants mode. So much so that Phil and Sean decided to scrap the first version of the podcast and re-record after Sean took a Xanax and had a good lie down. So, with the election in contention as Sean and Phil predicted months ago, the markets are doing what they want to do regardless. With a Status Quo looking like it’s in order it’s hard to take politics out of this weeks market overview - So, they go full hog and rip apart the implications for all the scenarios and how it effects the markets moving forward and the opportunities presented.

Its just a few days before the US election, there is a jump in reported Covid-19 cases and the markets are taking a short term pounding for the last two weeks. What does that mean, what are the ramifications, and what’s likely to be coming next? That’s the question on everyones mind and Sean and Phil tackle and pull apart as volatility mounts and the financial news networks hype and strut around pounding their chests.

With less than two weeks until the election the markets are twitching, volatility is growing and Wall Street is clenching their cheeks real hard as we get closer to ZERO hour (Or week, month or whatever it turns out to be!) As the rebel traders pull apart what’s going on, and explain the differences in expressing trade sentiment you have to ask… Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red Dress?

In this weeks Rebel Trader podcast, Sean and Phil are counting down the days until the US elections are over with just under 3 weeks to go and the markets not giving a damn. With a lack of volatility, the markets climbing higher, the Rebel Traders are finding prime trades to target. They also walk through the different styles and strategies they are using and why and when they change things up, how you can and should change things up based on your experience when the opportunity presents itself.

While the trading world is ready to pivot on a dime and jump like their ass is on fire at the slightest twitch in the markets, its amazing what a single tweet can do. It’s full on mad-dash panic, the media whips up another storm and then the following day - Nadda, zilch, zip… So, knee jerk reactions can be a rich target environment for the trading sniper or a blip in the ocean that should be ignored. So, Sean and Phil break it all down to show you how to zig when everyone else zags and how to position yourself for profit when everyone else is running around in circles with their hair on fire…

With the debates over like a geriatric Thunderdome the main stream and financial media whip up a storm as two clowns enter and both clowns leave. However, the Rebel Traders break down what the markets really think. Not only that, they dive into ways to protect your portfolio with different strategies to protect against a retracement in the markets as both Sean and Phil still feel pangs of bearish sentiment despite their bullish portfolios.

The Rebel Traders love their classic movies and inspired by the cult classic ’The Dirty Dozen”, Sean and Phil created a series of 12 trading rules to live by. Not only that, they are breaking the rules, riding the squirrels and following Alice down a few rabbit holes. They also dive into what’s ticking on the Rebel Trader Radar with the current markets, some trading opportunities and updates on trades they have been calling out and have positions on right now… Strap in, trade on and let’s Rock.

With the talking heads pretending like they weren’t just calling another market crash and taking their toys home, the markets are ignoring the noise. The market moves and the traders jump, they are jittery and ready to pull the trigger and take their cash off the table. However, there are tell-tale signs and warnings when a crash is about to happen and a savvy trader is aware of those noises and rumblings before it happens. We took a quick look back over the last 25 years and examined the data of what happened BEFORE a crash and what happened AFTER. Not only that, we'll show you how you can profit from these twitches, retracements and corrections.

Retracement or route? Panic or profit taking? With tech stocks taking a beating and the main indices creating shock waves in the financial media, what is really going on? More importantly, are there opportunities for a swift profit or a smart position as uncertainty ahead of the election cycle starts to take hold? As always, the Rebel Traders are on the ball (or off their rocker) and ready to break it all down…

With Apple and Tesla hitting large gains and cash taking after stock splits along with rumors of a 10-1 Amazon stock split, the markets are loving it like a Big Mac. Sean and Phil break down whats happening, some interesting wins, some strategies that are navigating these turbulent waters and refinement processes to mitigate some negative trades. They also break down indicator plays as well as some rookie mistakes many traders make, how to really use indicators in a smarter way, with methods you will not find in the text-books. The show is a little backwards this week as they are chasing a few errant squirrels up a few different trees and taking their whimsical look at the markets with their usual tongue-in-cheek manner...

With the S&P punching through all-time-highs, Wall St and the markets blind to “The Situation” and money flowing on regardless, its impossible to not have a few nice bullish positions on but the bears are growling and biding their time. In this weeks show, we’re pulling apart the reality and numbers to see what the hell is going on and is there any caution left in the trading world. Are the markets blind or just don't give a [INSERT SAMUEL L JACKSON]?

Is it time to bite the bullet or ride the V recovery? As the S&P500 reaches back to all-time-highs the Fed remains dovish on the whole economy… So, where are we in terms of REALITY vs MARKETS? Does the data match your expectations? The talking heads lose their minds daily and its time for a wee bit of rational analysis and tongue-in-cheek mockery while still taking some nice profits.

Have you ever heard the phrase, you need the right tool for the right job? Well, the same is true for trading. Stock selection is critical for your strategy and we’re going to examine a few ways to refine your approach, so you can focus in on the correct stocks for a successful approach to trading. On top of that, we discuss the Apple and Tesla stock splits, as well as what’s happening with precious metals and we take a few sniper shots at some easy targets to pick off for your portfolio.

There’s some pervasive BS that we hear a lot from our friends up there on Wall Street and in the mainstream financial news media. In this weeks show we going to reveal the myth and disassemble it piece by piece. Not only that, they are going to show once and for all how they mitigate risk, reduce exposure and create ideal environments for successful trades.

To say that the markets are going through interesting times is an understatement. But, are the markets helpful to your trading style or are they hindering it? In this weeks Rebel Traders podcast, Sean and Phil tear apart two styles of trading that work very well in different environments and how to actually pivot or trade through. They also pull apart the Kodak monster move in real-time as it happened and go over how Sean got out of the way of that institutional freight train FAST.

The markets are continuing to defy gravity reason and expectation once again. The bears are confused, the bulls are cautious and cats and dogs are living together as the world continues to go nuts. However, Sean and Phil are on the trigger with sniper precise shots as they pick off their targets. With the adaptions to trading they break down in this show will help you reap the rewards during these turbulent times.

In this week’s Rebel Traders Podcast we take an overarching look at the markets and see what the heck is going on. As the markets continue to defy gravity, fear, and uncertainty, they are continuing to show strength. However, is there an underlying nervousness, that threatens to topple the house of cards? Sean and Phil dive in and pull back the curtains to reveal what they are trading right now. They look at the details behind the markets and why they are loving what’s going on with the money flow...

One of the biggest issues we see with a lot of new traders (and experienced ones) is a reliance on something that they may not even realize is costing them money - Lots of it. Worse still, it's keeping them out of profitable trades, leading them down the wrong path and robbing them of a critical analytical skill… Well, we’re going to FIX that in this week’s Rebel Traders podcast as Sean and Phil break it all down. They also take a look at the markets and raise the red flag because the tech sector is partying like it’s 1999.

One thing a lot of people talk about is how to get into a trade. The one thing most people don’t talk about is how to get out of a trade profitably. In this week's Podcast, Sean is back and ready to rock after his surgery. Sean and Phil discuss what’s happening with half of this devastating year over, the state of the markets, the economy, as well as how to take your chips off the table at the RIGHT time to cap profits.

Phil’s got the soapbox and the microphone this week as Sean is off the grid to recover from surgery. So, while the cats are away, of course Phil is going to play. In this week’s show, Phil shows you why don’t want to be caught playing musical chairs with this or any market. So, how can you avoid falling on your butt or getting left behind holding the bag while the markets happily empty your pockets? Phil breaks it down and reveals the Rebel Trader way so you can make sure that you are in complete control.

It’s a sad fact that many traders are indeed trapped, glued to their screens, so they can watch every tick moment by moment. They get stressed about every move and question every aspect of the trades they make. In this week's Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil break down why they built their trading around the life they want rather than try to cram life around trading. There is a huge difference and when you understand the why, the how will become apparent...

In this weeks Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil are talking strategy development. Outside of the core strategy they teach to students all over the world, they are constantly developing, testing and refining strategies. They are peeling back the curtains on their processes and showing how they develop ideas, test and highlight the pitfalls, conditions and tests they do to fine tune ideas into working and profitable strategies (and even reveal a few they use and how they came about)

In this weeks show Sean and Phil looked into the craziness with the current situation, the riots, the fires, the looting, the controversy, the social unrest and why it’s not actually affecting the markets yet. Given how 2020 has gone so far, they’ve kept their fingers on the pulse and their eye on the different aspects of the markets, some have been bearish, bullish or even neutral. However, the Fed is still cranking out cash and popping zeros on balances, flooding the markets to prop them up. What are the ramifications? That’s what we covered.

In this week’s show, Sean and Phil take a broad look at the markets as Phil is still in bear mode and Sean is breaking out the bull horns and is feeling a wee bit more optimistic. Not only that, it’s the battle of the trades as two stocks enter and one stock leaves in a virtual death-match.

In this weeks show we’re looking at a divergence we’ve not heard others talking about. A divergence between two core areas of the market that could be a red-flag for a future downturn or at least a change in the recent bullish recovery. So, join us as we dive into weeds and break it all down. We’re looking at the broad markets as well as some specific instruments that tickled the Rebel Trader Radar…

In this week’s show, Phil pulled a fast one Sean and Sean didn’t have a clue what was going to happen today. As the markets go a little more crazy, $3 Trillion, 1800 page stimulus packages are DOA, there’s going to be a few verbal hand grenades flying around. It’s time to go Boom to the Moo (Not a typo as you will see in the show) and, in a break from usual broadcasting, it’s time to peel back the curtains and tackle things the Rebel Trader way…

Restrictions are lifting slowly, people dealing with "Lockdown Fatigue" and official unemployment numbers coming out Friday with non-farm payrolls. It seems that the clowns and jokers are everywhere and the markets are pushing the bears back and giving the bulls a run… For now! That being said, Phil is donning his perma-bear outfit while Sean is a wee bit more optimistic fundamentally. They tear into the numbers and break down what they are seeing ahead and what’s going on right now. More importantly, they also show how to continue to navigate these waters...

With the markets in an apparent state of recovery, the smart money is being cautious. With the Fed printing money and adding zeros to balance sheets, is it really going to help or hurt? Are we looking at a real recovery or are we going to retest the lows? Bulls, Bears and Tigers are roaring and money is flowing and Sean and Phil are going to discuss if it’s going to make any difference and how…

A few weeks ago, everyone was a constitutional lawyer, then they were all virologists and now it seems everyone and their brother is a trading expert… So, Sean and Phil cut through the crap, focus on the Black Gold and break down EXACTLY what is happening, why it’s happening and how to play these markets like a fiddle. Yep, it’s the Rebel Trader way.

Think trading is risky? Maybe more screen time will help to make you a better trader, right? Someone once told you the way to be successful in trading is to bet the farm on ONE HUGE position? Ok, let’s cut to it… We’re going to obliterate many of the misnomers, misinformation and outright BS that we hear all the time. Not only that, we’re going to discuss the current “Situation” and what is happening in the markets right now.

When is a trade not a trade? When is a profit not a profit? Can a profit be a loss at the same time? And who the hell let this cat out of it’s box? A few questions we’ll be answering in this weeks podcast and while the markets continue to be turbulent, we give a few insights into areas we’re looking at that are presenting some great opportunities for the traders who don’t have their heads buried in the sand.

Lies Lies & Dam Accusations. “...well you know what you can do with them don't you? You can stick them up your [BLEEP] [BLEEP] then you can [BLEEP]‘ing [BLEEP][BLEEP] them you sheep [BLEEP]‘ing [BLEEP]‘er ...and now for our regularly scheduled broadcast!

Talking heads talking themselves into the corner once more. We’re looking left on the charts to similar points in history and coming up with conditional courses of action. With the Biden Bounce and Corona Virus fears easing there is a lot of opportunity as we take the 30,000 ft view and analyze where we are going to scoop profits in these turbulent times.

There’s a reason we focus on the numbers and not the talking heads. We’ve been talking about the mounting pressure on the markets and that they need to blow off some steam. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil break down what’s going on, why the markets are flailing around and how fear and knee-jerk reactions are forcing the markets down. BS-a-plenty in the financial press but the Rebel Traders cut through the noise.

In this week’s Rebel Traders, Sean and Phil show you the critical factors to adding your own unique blend of herbs and spices to your trading and how you can leverage strategies to create your very own flavor.    Not only that, Sean digs into the meteoric 190% gain in Tesla since June and how this has hurt the short sellers (to the tune of $2.8 Billion in 2019 and around the same in just the first 20 days of 2020.   

The markets are soaring, the economy seems unstoppable and every trader is feeling like Elton John singing "I'm a Rocket Man!". So, are we "Crashing Upwards?" (Dumb expression!), are we in a Bubble? Sean and Phil break it down in this week's Rebel Traders Podcast and look at the markets with their usual flair and get to the heart of the matte

In 1951 something monumental happened. A man screamed and he screamed good. What happened next laid the foundation for a legend in the sound industry.  Now, you may be asking what the hell does this have to do with trading? Well, Sean and Phil break it down with their usual Rebel Trader reverence and also dive into what's happening with a very volatile start to the year...

It's that most wonderful time of year again where the talking heads lose their minds over a chubby fictional character and that can cause the markets to rally in the last week of the year. Is there going to be a Christmas rally? Are the bulls going to get a lump of coal? Or... is it all a pile of bear? No matter what happens, the main thing is, Phil is going to fly solo like a reindeer on a soapbox while Sean’s away.

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, get ready because there are plenty of soap-box moments in this week's show. Phil puts on his “Ranty-Pants” and let’s loose on a few misconceptions that are all too common in the trading world and (as the voice of reason) Sean brings it back down to earth with a thump. They break down why the power of good traders is NOT in the top-secret-indicators, the 30+ consolidation patterns that you remember or secret handshakes between traders “In the know” but in managing the trades.

What do Cobra’s, Rat’s and Sparrow’s have in common and what the heck does it have to do with trading? Well, in this week’s Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil reveal some interesting lessons from history that show why not planning for the future can have serious repercussions and unexpected outcomes… So, take a little trip back in history and see how having a cunning plan can have not so amazing results that show, that unless you think a few steps ahead and plan for contingencies, you can make things far worse than they are right now…

In this week’s show, we are NOT channeling Freddie Mercury (Well maybe a little, Sean can’t resist) but we are looking at how the past influences the future and how what is speculated today could be reality tomorrow. We go through a few interesting examples and show how this all relates to trading and could help you find a strategic edge and allow you to look like the smartest person in the room. So, rock on Merlin, let’s take a peek behind the virtual curtain as the Rebel Traders light it up once again...

That’s right folks, that braying noise you can hear is not Sean, who is once again hogtied in the barn… No, it really is, of course, a donkey in the distance looking at us defiantly. Why? Well, all will become clear shortly as we dive in a little deeper and discover what donkeys have to do with trading and why Phil is trying to sneak up on the little bugger with a pin. Also, we will be looking briefly at a few charts and sticking a wet finger in the financial air to see which way the wind is blowing this week.

From not so prepared kings fighting off enemy hordes of vikings to Roman empires who messed it all up… History can teach us a LOT but when we Sean and Phil are asked “Is there going to be another crash”… They have a rather interesting and detailed view.    So, strap in, hold on tight, put the stewardess back in an upright position and tune in as Sean and Phil pull a wee bit of a Bill and Ted and go on a bit of a bogus journey…

This week, we are going to be looking at things that go bump in the night, twilight light tweets that make the markets howl and sean growl. Those full moon magics that make mischief. We’re also spelling wizard with two ZZ’s and most importantly we will also be answering the questions “...does a wizards staff really have a knob on the end?...”

In this week’s show, Phil has returned with his inflatable Pink-Flamingo (Seriously!) - And Sean and Phil are back in the saddle with their wry look at the markets. This week they are looking at the contractions of the main markets and how this could be the start of something interesting to keep an eye on. Not only that, they look at how to course correct yourself when you start having doubts and how you can get back on track...

This week we stuffed Phil in a suitcase and shipped him off to Spain for a much-needed vacation (Inflatable Pink Flamingo and all). So, Sean is in the studio flying solo and he’s going to take a wry look at some current and upcoming situations and events that could affect and are affecting the markets right now. From an embattled Facebook Libra (Did we see THAT one coming) to Hong Kong protests, Brexit deals and an extra $29BN hidden under a countries mattress. It’s all in here this week and Sean is going to pull it apart, put it under the microscope and show you exactly what’s going on.

In last week's show, we looked at some bad investment apples. Stocks that just stank up the place and were a cluster (insert expletive) of epic proportions. So, this week, we're turning the tables and looking at some companies that have taken off like a rocket over the last few years and have done some amazing things. So, strap in and get ready for the moon shot baby. It's going to be a bumpy and fun ride as the Rebel Traders break it all down once again and show you where the opportunities in the markets are.

You’ve heard it said time and again, "the trend is your friend!” - However, sometimes, there’s a little more behind the story. In this week's Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil go behind the scenes and pull back the curtains to reveal what happens when companies make some REALLY bad decisions. From energy to pharmaceutical, and everything in between, these are some of the stories behind some famous (and little known) companies that truly screwed the pooch.

Cause and effect is a relationship between events, where one is the result of the other. Ok, scrap the textbook explanation, it's why stuff happens in the markets. Remember, there is a HUGE distinction between action and reaction. In this week's show, we dive into where people are looking for the cause after the effect happened or pointing at coincidences and looking for a correlation. it's all smoke and mirrors unless you have Rebel Traders show you how to cut through the BS and get to the facts...

This week we have THE single most tenuous link to Christmas and THE best Christmas movie ever which also happens to be from the 80’s... (No surprise for the Rebel Traders!). However, before we go all John McClaine, (Big Hint!) there are a few things causing some shock-waves in the markets. Nakatomi tower is where we focus our attention as Sean and Phil cast their eye over the scene and decide which targets to take down.

Its time to stop into the action and limit out for a rare solo adventure while sean does the international jet setting.

Did they fudge the numbers? Say it ain’t so! In this week’s Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil break down a shocking report and the implications it has for your trading (and how to mitigate that risk) So, strap in, get ready and discover why you shouldn’t always believe what you are told, even if it’s printed in black and white.

As the yield curves invert and the markets react like a windsock to every gust of wind from the talking heads, Sean and Phil yank the yolk and flip the Rebel Trader F-14 Tomcat into a 4G inverted dive and maintain foreign relations by flipping the markets the bird. I am sure Phil got a Polaroid of it somewhere. Now thankfully they are great traders so you don't have to worry about them making a living as singers. So, buckle up, as the Rebel Traders race into the clouds into a target-rich environment... Just a walk in the park.

in this week's show, we break down a full Case Study and strategy that forms the core of many of our personal trading strategies. In fact, this specific strategy is responsible for many successful trades.    However, there’s more to this mechanical strategy than meets the eye and, while we break it down step-by-step, if you want us to help you put it into practice, just ask...

Did you miss a trade, a prime opportunity that could have yielded great returns? Did you get frustrated at the returns you could have got but feel like you lost it? Well, in this week's Rebel Traders podcast, we show you how to not only get over the lost trade but how to actually take advantage of the situation. We'll show you turn "What if's?" into "What's next?". Not only that, but we also get into what's happening right now with the escalation of the trade disputes with China.

There are some strange things that happen in the trading world and, when large sums of money are involved, it's just plain amazing how crazy things can get. So, in this weeks show, Sean and Phil are going to peel back the curtains on some of the unusual but true stories from their years of trading. You may need to sit down for this one...

In this week’s show we get a little philosophical and explore an old concept called “Pascal’s Wager” to show you how this ties in to the markets and how this started the whole thought process around probability theory. So, even as Sean and Phil go a little nerdy, they’ll show you how this relates to your trading and the principals of a Rebel Trader. So, come with us as we dive down this rabbit hole and explore these concepts a little deeper.

Long term success in trading has - quite literally - nothing to do with the method or process that you use it’s all about your mindset. So, in this week’s show we dive into the mindset of successful traders interspersed with a few surprising tales from the pit to highlight how weird and wonderful the world of trading can be. We’ll be talking about everything from literal tin-foil hats, strange routines, and the fine line between eccentric and bat-shit-crazy.

Follow the Rebel Traders down the yellow brick road into the Emerald City and see EXACTLY what is going on BEHIND the curtain and see what all the complex levers and pullys actually do.

As the spotlight intensifies on Facebook’s plans for its new crypto currency, we cut through the noise to evaluate the real story and plans to separate the hype from the reality.

Cycles and trends can be your friend and in this week's show, we dive into what is fiction, what is fact and what happens when you layer on a few smart strategies on top of the REAL numbers and opportunities. Not only that, we give a first look at the new LIBRA coin and Facebook's official foray into the world of Crypto-Currency and why this FINALLY makes crypto-currency a little more interesting and a lot more legitimate as a real potential currency.

If you turn on the news you are bombarded with rhetoric, opinion, talking heads, egos and it's hard to actually get to the FACTS. The same goes for a lot of supposed "Financial" media whether it's broadcast or print, the waters are easily muddied and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get the actual data. So, in this week's show, we're going to dig in, cut through the noise and get to the heart of the matter. So, hold the front page, Sean and Phil are going to break it down Rebel Trader style...

The Crypto bulls continue to slowly crawl out of their caves and crypto-junkies get their hopium fix, filling social media with their favorite memes. In this weeks show, Sean turns the tables on Phil and actually examines the case FOR crypto and shines a wee bit of light on the maturity and evolution of crypto. They take a look at the post-bubble markets, the technology under the hood, the regulatory scrutiny and the ever present hype-merchants looking to cash in on the resurgence of interest. Buckle up buttercup, it’s going to be a wild one!

Experience is something that comes over time. However, it's a critical aspect of trading, to recognize key patterns, shifts in sentiment, market tops and bottoms, emerging trends. Sure, you can be book smart when it comes to the markets but there is no replacement for RAW in the trenches experience. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil show a fast-track way they show students how to accelerate the learning process and gain real-time experience.

We’re going to cover everything from crypto-mania, IPO’s, trade wars, called tops and pinched bottoms, more than a few 80s movie references and so much more...

 One of the biggest challenges for retail traders is being consistent with their trading. Often, they inject too much discretion into their trading only to have it break their strategy and biases creep in to throw their returns off course. So, in this week’s show, Sean and Phil break down the 5 critical rules you need to have in your trading plan to create a true production line trading process that eliminates emotion and allows you to generate those predictable consistent returns of a Rebel Trader.

In this week's show, Sean and Phil are behind the bar pouring very generous measures as they talk trading and why trading is very much like a Martini if you look at it the right way... Just like Tom Cruise in the 80's movie "Cocktail" (or so they would have us believe, not sure who the hell they think they are kidding!) they are shaking up a storm and have a few ways to keep your trading successful yet simple...

Often, we think “If only I knew then what I know now, things would be different.” Well, if you could jump in a De Lorean, hit 88 and go back in time to meet a younger version of yourself, what would you do differently in your trading? In this week’s show, Bill and Ted (Aka Sean and Phil) do the same thing and ask themselves, “What if we could, what would we do?” And the answers may surprise you. So, come join us as we dive into a few “What if’s” and insights that may help you where YOU are right now...

One of the popular pundit go-to statements are the fabled “Black Swan” events. The mysterious, unexpected and disastrous events that get all the attention and suck the air from any room full of traders faster than an airlock on a spaceship. So, in this week’s show, Sean and Phil get on a wee bit of a soapbox and break down what a REAL black swan event is, why most of what you hear is bull and the other half is all… Well, you get the idea…

One of the biggest problems for retail traders is the ability to get paid consistently from their trading. It’s the inability to turn trading knowledge and experience into predictable revenue that is one of the leading causes of traders failing. So, in this week’s podcast, Sean and Phil show you how to actually get paid from your trades and how to turn the business of trading into a profitable, predictable and rewarding enterprise.

The markets ebb and flow and sometimes after a sharp move, all eyes are on levels of interest waiting to see if they break through or reverse course. We watch for these changes like a hawk to see if something new is developing or if it's just business as usual. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil outline exactly what they are looking for in a perfect reversal, how they read the turn and how they moonwalk with the markets to secure some nice profitable trades...

There comes a time in every traders life when the big brown stuff hits the rapidly rotating air pusher and things just seem like nothing can go right. It happens to every retail trader at some time during their career. The question is, what are you going to do about it and how are you going to clean up the mess. Well, in this week’s Rebel Trader's Podcast, Sean and Phil walk through how to tackle this from a few different angles that can help you get your trading back on track...

A dull market can kill a retail traders quicker than a gazelle being brought down by a lion. It is contrary to the popular view point and has never been more true despite it because of the insatiable need to “trade” or “be right” by the retail trader. What is more likely is that a dull market will tempt people into more risky decisions in the search for fast profits. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil break down why they LOVE uncertainty and why it's one of the core things they look for...

There is a HUGE difference between being an AVERAGE retail trader and being an AVERAGE Rebel Trader. Why? Because it's all about the numbers and the long-term returns. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil change the perspective and take a step back to look at the forest rather than the trees. While most retail traders are only focused on the returns of the next trade they show you to focus on the average...

Since the crash of 2008-09 we've been in a raging bull market and there has been a wealth of opportunity (literally and figuratively). We've been overdue for a correction according to historical numbers but is this really a 10 year bull run or an evolution of the markets as a whole? In this weeks show, Sean and Phil pull it all apart and break down what is happening to these markets, what has happened and what the future may well hold based on the new potential normal.

On January 4th we started a $100k challenge. Starting with just a simple $1000 and utilizing a powerful, yet ultra-simple strategy and minimal risk, the goal is to take that small account and grow it to $100,000k. So, in today's podcast, we're taking a look at the project's progress, how things are rolling and what's next…

As traders we all have a goal in mind where we feel we have hit success. However, the road between there and where we are now may require us to change the way we think as well as how we trade. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil tackle what it actually takes to not only step up and break through that ceiling but also what is needed to logically scale up your trading without taking crazy risks and deliver consistent returns.

At some point in your trading you will likely blow up an account. It's something that almost every trader has had to deal with at some stage in their life. However, there is one aspect no-one every really talks about and that is when people self sabotage their accounts. So, in this weeks show, Sean and Phil discuss how and why a flawed mindset and hidden issues that can lead people to stop themselves succeeding and actually fire all torpedoes at their accounts to actually stop themselves becoming successful traders...

What happens to you when you realize that your trading account isn't dead - its only mostly dead?   Do you know when to shout Yippee Kay-yay Mother BLEEP - after another new equity high in your account has been made?   Maybe you keep getting stopped out and the whole experience is … INCONCEIVABLE!   Whatever you’re doing and no matter where your trading places are - here is how we learned to trade from 80s movies...

Traders are always to blame, easy targets for the media and for politicians. And with 2020 looming ahead it seems every politician wants to head to the White house while screaming blue murder about the evil wealthy, traders and every other target of opportunity in order to connect with the "Common People"...    Well, in this week's show we're going to dig into why we have the big laser-target red dot on our heads, what got us here and how to handle the talking-point criticism. So, prepare for some soap-box moments as Sean and Phil get fired up and ready to rock… 

Should you zig or zag? Do you see an opportunity that takes you away from your trading plan and strategy? Are you going to stick to your guns? Well, in this week's show we're going to see about whether to take the step or resist the urge to pull the trigger.    This is one critical area of trading that can be the undoing of many traders portfolios and blows up accounts. Sean and Phil help decide when to pivot and when to stand firm.  

In a change to our regular programming, a challenge was laid. In the finest tradition of Randolph and Mortimer from Trading Places a small wager was placed and either way, you stand to be the winner.    The challenge was to take a small account of just $1,000 and turn it into a $100,000 in the shortest time possible without betting the farm, in a consistent, methodical way without being glued to the screens. An UnHustled trading method that is easy to follow and apply. This is an episode you DON'T want to miss...

One thing we are always talking about is how time-frames can dramatically change your perspective on a stock or even the broad markets. Often times it can present an opportunity that was previously hidden or it can mask a BIG problem you were not aware of.    So, in this weeks show, Sean and Phil dive in a little deeper and give their perspective on the pros and cons of switching time frames when viewing the markets and specific companies charts to see where it can either help you focus or when it adds smoke to the mirrors.   

There comes a time in a traders career when it’s time to hit the hard reset. What I call “Clean Slate Protocol”. When one of the best things you can do is close all your positions in your portfolio and either take all your profits off the table or take all the losses on the chin and start again.    In this week's show, we look at what would drive a decision to do that or when you SHOULD actually consider doing that. It’s a drastic move but over the last few weeks, we’ve seen a lot of traders do just that. So, we’ll look at why traders do that and as the question of when should you consider doing the same and what are the ramifications?

After a peaceful week off with our feet up, whiskey in hand and a fine cigar or two. We’ve still been keeping an eye on the markets during this lull in market volume. However, a few interesting things are going on and it’s setting up an interesting time ahead for the start of the year.    We look ahead to see what’s going on for the year but also how the markets barely missed Bearish territory and, for now, leaped just a little back into plain old “Correction” territory.   

2018 is almost in the rearview mirror and it’s going out kicking and screaming. The bears are coming out of hibernation and roaring up a storm and the bulls are running for the hills. Yield curves are flatter than an ironing board and every old pundit is being wheeled out to give their 2c on what’s going to happen next.    All the while, Sean and Phil and sitting back and watching the storms roll in and watching with a cautious and wary eye while anticipating the moves, the twists and turns and profiting accordingly while being defensive in their portfolios they are listening to the winds of change and trimming the sales accordingly. 

Some people look at the stock market like it’s the Matrix. The uninitiated walking around in some sort of haze unaware of what is going on around them. While it feels a select few are able to dive down the rabbit hole and see how far it goes…    So, in this weeks show, Sean and Phil, don the cool shades and long leather jackets and jack into the markets to see if they can bend some spoons along the way… 

We usually get a “Santa Rally” in the last week of December and the first couple of days into January. However, with all the recent turmoil in the markets, Sean and Phil pick the numbers apart and see what the hell is really going on.    With the DOW losing 700 points in a day, inverted yield curves, $140B wiped of FAANG stocks and a temporary China Trade Truce… There’s a hell of a lot going on!

Turn on the news and it’s all fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria! And that’s just the financial news networks talking about the last few weeks...   So, we’re going to take a HUGE step back, look at the bigger picture and get to the root of whether this is the the end times or just a pressure valve and what you can do about it… 

With all the turmoil in the markets, it’s hard for many traders to keep their heads and their eyes on the target. Emotion can grab you and force you to make bad decisions based on gut reaction rather than smart decisions based on facts.    So, in this week’s Podcast, we’re going to discuss how to keep your cool even when faced with overwhelming emotion and a market that just isn’t going your way… 

Keep your eyes on the prize and your sights on the target. In this week’s episode of the Rebel Traders Podcast, Sean and Phil are looking at how you can sync your knowledge, interests, and expertise to raise awareness and find the hidden gems that are buried in the charts that could be transferred to your portfolio.    A few simple tweaks and techniques can lead to prime opportunities in the markets if you know what to look for and Sean and Phil will help you find the way...

All to often, it’s too easy to get locked into a position or trade. However, when the winds of change blow it can be hard to trim sails and tack a new course.   So, in this week’s show, Sean and Phil plot a new course cut through the chop and ride the waves as they show you why, as a trader, you should always be prepared to change your mind…

Well, the financial news media has had plenty of material over the last few weeks as the markets go more than a little bit crazy and we are changing gears to discuss what the heck is going on, why it’s happening and what you can do to take advantage of the wild ride. So, strap in, keep your arms and legs in the car at all times and get ready as Sean and Phil tackle the markets to the ground and give you the official Rebel Trader overview...

Ok, this one could be a doozy! It doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you are sitting on, who your preferred president would be or which senator or congressional representative is hanging on your bedroom wall or dartboard.    These guys and gals all can have a huge influence on the market. With the midterms looming, we’re going to dive in to the swamp and pick apart a few "what if” scenarios and we may stir up a few controversies along the way…

It’s easy being a lion lounging on the rocks watching the herd roll by when you know which direction the herd is going and what pressures are moving them forward.     It’s the same with the markets as we prepare to place our trades. We look over the edge of the rocks and see which way the wind is blowing, what has happened over night and how the markets are moving before the trading day starts to get a true pulse of the market. In this week’s show, we’ll show you exactly how we check the pulse of the markets...

Here at Trade Canyon, we are primarily options traders. Many of the special strategies we have developed are based around 20+ years of trading. However, a lot of the time, most people seem to avoid options and I feel that is mostly because people don't really understand options.    On top of that, there is a LOT of misinformation about options. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil break it all down and give an overview of what options are, how they work and how to effectively trade options.

Sometimes its more than a wee bit difficult to keep emotion out of your trading, especially when there are some stocks that just piss you off.

Have you ever rolled through scenarios in your head and asked "What would I do if X happened?". Well, we do that all the time, it's called PLANNING and we get asked all the time for many different scenarios our thoughts and what we would actually do.  So, in this week's show we are going to ask a few "What if's" and share our insights and thoughts as we roll through contingency plans, procedures and how we weather any storm the markets may throw at you and come out the other side smelling of roses...

In this show, we’re going to break it all down and explain what it ACTUALLY takes to be a Rebel Trader…

What kind of market manipulation do some hedge funds use to manipulate stock prices? Are some market makers up to some “Interesting” activity? Are some brokers really playing by the rules or making it up as they go along?
