Your all-in-one place for trading and investing ideas
The weekly and monthly reports showcase trade ideas that are built around a core trading thesis. This trading plan is created from analysis of all available and relevant data. Every trade idea is displayed with a chart, supporting data, as well as the entry and exit.
Additionally, each report consists of upside and downside opportunities to allow for exposure in any market condition. The Reports are a trader’s guide to consistently interpreting the market’s direction and timing correctly.
Seasonal data is one of the most important tools to develop expectations within markets. Not only does seasonal data provide guidance as to the future direction of markets, but also the timing of the key moves. As an options trader myself, timing the markets properly is one of the most important tasks. Our seasonal data provides complete month-to-month analysis with daily bullish and bearish probability closes, overall monthly seasonal trends, and other key data points. Along with the most current seasonal data, I provide my interpretation of it and how I plan to capitalize off each seasonal period to the fullest extent.
Technical analysis is the cornerstone to every trader’s success. Knowing where expansions, reversals, and consolidations are likely to occur helps maximize gains and minimize losses. Price charts are like maps – without good maps, traders can get lost.
The Rader Report’s charting section showcases my personal charts on all major indices such as SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM and 11 more. Each chart includes all my key levels, my interpretation, and the future developments I expect. Call and put walls, expected ranges, liquidity zones, and other components help me create extremely accurate charts. All technical analysis charts are updated daily with crucial information as the week advances.
Money is constantly rotating between different sectors of the market, causing some assets to fall behind and others to lead the way. When a market pivots, knowing which part of the market is lagging or leading can provide significant edge to a trade.
By analyzing the sectors, industries, or even individual tickers shown on the market overview tool, you can easily find the tickers to base a trade on during specific phases of a market. With custom timeframes, proprietary momentum metrics, and thorough default lists, it makes finding the leaders and laggers extremely easy. With the implementation of our momentum metrics, it will make picking the correct leaders or laggers more reliable. The concept of leaders and laggers is something that we thoroughly explain to all members through our educational sections. Having a tool in house, built specifically for this concept, makes it even more effective.
The seasonality charting tool is designed to help traders identify recurring patterns in market behavior tied to specific times of the year, month, or even day. By analyzing historical price action tendencies during particular periods, traders can anticipate significant market pivots before they occur.
Acting as a leading indicator, seasonal chart analysis has consistently proven to be one of the most reliable forecasting tools in market history. One of the greatest challenges in trading is timing market moves effectively. Seasonality charts provide a distinct edge by highlighting when key turning points are likely to happen based on mechanical shifts in the market. This insight allows traders to align their strategies with historically predictable patterns, enhancing their ability to capitalize on upcoming opportunities.
Over the past decade, the options market has grown significantly more influential on equity markets, largely due to the role of market makers. As options trading activity has surged exponentially, market makers who sell options to participants have become key drivers of market movements.
As liquidity providers, market makers are required to hedge the options they sell by buying or selling the underlying equities. This hedging process, which involves managing delta and gamma exposure, often leads to predictable price adjustments in the underlying asset.
Through extensive research, we’ve developed methods to identify and exploit these patterns. Tools like the open interest and gamma charts featured in the Rader Report highlight key imbalances and critical levels in the market. By analyzing these structures—such as concentrations of open interest and gamma exposure—traders can gain edge in opportunities that price charts alone would not reveal.
Over the last 20 years, options have become increasingly more effective in gauging market expectations. The options market serves as a window into the probabilities of specific market outcomes. By leveraging our proprietary implied volatility (IV) calculations, we can determine the expected market move with near 80% accuracy.
By knowing where markets will likely close between, it allows us to align our trading ideas with the probabilities of the market. Additionally, incorporating the expected range into your technical analysis can refine your approach by offering more precise and actionable price levels, further aligning your strategy with the market's probabilistic framework.
“For decades, interpreting the markets has become increasingly challenging with the addition
of numerous complex processes and evolving asset classes. As a result, data and market participants
often lag behind when it comes to accurately interpreting market signals.
The markets speak a language, providing new insights into their next moves every day. However,
only a few can decipher this language. That’s why I have made it my mission to leverage my knowledge
and analytical skills to provide investors with a fair and actionable market perspective that
stays ahead of the curve.”
