Quick heads up: I’m going live here on Substack for paid subscribers on Monday, September 28 at 8pm ET. It will be recorded for those who cannot make it live.
We’ll cover who I am, how I trade, how TTI fits into all of this, and then we’ll pull up some tickers and work through the charts live.
I want to get to know more of you here on Substack and give you a chance to get to know me too. My goal is to make the time as useful as I can, so you leave with something you can actually apply to your own trading.
The next stock you wish you owned probably won’t wait for you to get tired of watching the last winner.
This is why I keep looking. Even when I like the positions I already have.
There’s rotation going on underneath the market. You can spend the entire day arguing about what the indexes should do and miss the individual stocks starting to behave differently. A stronger trend. Better relative performance. Momentum picking up in a name you haven’t looked at in months.
That’s where I want my attention.
Our Emerging Leaders scan helps me find those names and bring them into the research process. The idea is to have a stock on my screen, understand its structure and know what I need to see before it becomes the chart everyone is passing around.
By then, the easy conversation is usually “look how much it’s up.” I’d rather have done the work before that conversation starts.
And I use this scan in two ways.
For a Flow trade, I’m looking for developing strength that can become durable leadership. I want to see the trend hold up, relative strength persist and, where it’s available, the group support the stock. That’s the research path toward a position I may stay with for weeks or months.
For a Burst trade, I’m looking for the shorter move: a defined level, participation when it clears, and follow-through soon after entry. A stock doesn’t have to become the next great market leader to give me a useful trade over a handful of sessions.
The same watchlist can feed both. What changes is the setup I’m willing to take, the risk I’m accepting and what I expect the stock to do once I’m in.
“Emerging” also doesn’t mean nobody has found it, or that it hasn’t already moved. Some of tonight’s names have moved a lot. The advantage I’m looking for is being prepared for the next opportunity instead of discovering the stock after I’ve started chasing it.
This is part of the work we do inside TTI Membership: keep looking for where leadership is developing, then connect the idea to an actual trade plan.
Tonight’s scan gives us seven names to work through. Here’s where I’d start.
