GET ROGER’S NO. 1 TURNAROUND STOCK FOR NEXT WEEK AT 1 PM ET!   The Most Important Trading Lessons I’ve Learned in 3-Plus Decades Monday of this week marked 31 years since I took my first steps into the financial markets, and I still remember that day vividly..  Back then, it was just me, a brokerage account, and a fascination with the way numbers told stories. If I had a time machine, there’s a mountain of knowledge I’d share with my younger self — but one truth stands out… Trading success isn’t about chasing trends or being the smartest person in the room. It’s about mastering the fundamentals, adapting to change, and staying consistent. One of the biggest shifts I’ve witnessed over three decades is the evolution of market behavior. Thirty years ago, breakouts were cleaner — no false lows, no confusing wicks.  Today, thanks to algorithms, the market likes to break support before shooting higher, or dip below a prior low before rallying. This structural change is a reminder that adapting to market evolution is critical.  What worked years ago won’t necessarily work today, and the most successful traders are those who evolve alongside the market. Another cornerstone of trading that hasn’t changed is the importance of understanding relative strength. It’s one thing to like a stock — say Nvidia (NVDA) or Meta (META) — but it’s another to know whether that stock is doing the heavy lifting… Or just riding the coattails of the S&P 500.  That’s why I emphasize checking the market’s daily and 5-minute charts before making any trades. If the S&P 500 is trending and your stock is moving with it, you’re likely aligning with the market’s tailwind.  But if the S&P 500 is choppy and your stock is surging, you know you’re dealing with true relative strength. Discipline is another key lesson that comes with time.  Whether it’s waiting for the perfect setup or avoiding impulsive trades, consistency in following your plan is everything. For example, if I’m watching Consumer Staples stocks like PepsiCo (PEP) or Colgate-Palmolive (CL), I don’t just jump in because they look good.  I wait for the right market alignment — something I learned the hard way early on. Finally, one of the most important lessons is to never stop learning.  Trading is an ongoing education. Whether it’s refining entries with tools like VWAP or recognizing the value of a "confirmation entry" versus an "expectation entry," there’s always something new to uncover.  And after 31 years in, I’m still learning, adapting and challenging myself to improve — and that’s what keeps trading exciting. If there’s one takeaway I can share after 31 years, it’s this: Respect the process, align with the market, and focus on the details.  Success in trading isn’t about big wins… It’s about consistent, repeatable decisions that stack up over time. The market evolves — and so must you. Roger Scott Roger Scott Trading Follow along and join the conversation for real-time analysis, trade ideas, market insights and more!

If you've been following his alerts, you already know these setups have delivered an 80% win rate across 90 trades — a heck of a track record…   But what he’s revealing today is different... For the first time ever, Roger’s sharing something he’s never offered before – and it could completely transform how you target these weekly moves. He’ll walk through:    • His No. 1 turnaround stock for next week.   • The exact setup he’s targeting.   • Plus, he’ll share something he’s never offered before until today.   The room is filling up, but there's still time to get in.   Join Roger at 1 PM ET! The profits and performance shown are not typical, we make no future earnings claims, and you may lose money. From 1/26/23 through 1/6/2025, the average win rate is 80.21%. The average return was 11.55% over a 10-day average hold time, the average winner was 38.27%. _______________________________________________ Today’s Daily Chart Setup: iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (IHI)   By Jeffry Turnmire   This idea came directly from my Daily Chart Setup that automatically signals potential plays.    • IHI is a new potential entry. Target: 61.79 Stop below: 56.73   • IHI has a historical win rate of 75.0%   • IHI has a profit factor of 1.662   • IHI trades last 53 trading days on average over 16 trades since 2006.   This is for informational and educational purposes only. There is inherent risk in trading, so trade at your own risk. Always remember that past performance is not indicative of future results. How the Daily Chart Setup Works Here’s a more detailed description of how the pattern triggers:         1. The price breaks upward through the orange Market         Roadmap Line.          2. Then the price goes up and down while staying above the         line. Eventually, it comes down to touch the line again — this         could take days, weeks or even months.          3. Once it touches the line and starts moving back up, that         signals an entry.  I use Fibonacci levels for for profit targets and stop losses, and these two tools combined have helped me achieve a 77% win rate over the past six-plus years! You can grab my Market Roadmap Indicator here for just $5 — less than a cup of coffee at most places! _______________________________________________ Want to get a link to TradingPub content, trade ideas, real-time market analysis and educational tidbits?
