Trading Strategies

For over four decades, I’ve traded through every type of market — bull markets, crashes, geopolitical shocks, and election cycles. One of the most misunderstood opportunities comes during U.S. midterm election years. In this 30-minute session, I’ll break down how I approach trading midterms using real historical data and practical setups — not opinions or headlines.

We’ll cover:

• What typically happens to the S&P 500 before and after midterm elections

• The impact of “power shifts” (red to blue, blue to red) on market behavior

• How sentiment and positioning create tradeable opportunities

• My step-by-step playbook for identifying high-probability setups

• When to lean aggressive — and when to stay patient

This is not a political discussion — it’s a trader’s framework built on decades of experience and pattern recognition. If you’re looking for a structured way to navigate election-driven volatility, this session will give you a clear edge.

This session will begin with a summary of the resources and tools that Dr. Wish has found to be useful for managing risk in the stock market. He will also describe the evidence for why he focuses on stocks trading at all-time highs using his Green Line Breakout (GLB) indicator and show how his modified “Guppy” charts help him to identify price trends.

In this presentation, John Kurisko — host of DaytradingRadio.com and a 30-year full-time trader — will show you exactly how to build a professional business plan and, using only 3 proven trade setups, create a reliable, income-generating trading lifestyle.

This is a step-by-step system that John uses live every single day while he teaches and trades. The same techniques work across all major trading vehicles: Futures, Stocks, and Options.

Whether you trade full-time or part-time, you’ll walk away with a clear, actionable blueprint you can start using immediately to treat your trading like a real business — and finally build the consistent income and freedom you want.

The market continually communicates information through recurring behaviors. In this presentation, Dean Christians of Turning Point Market Research will explain these repeatable patterns and demonstrate how he exploits them using his dual trend system. Attendees will learn how to capitalize on these signals and apply a structured trend framework to improve the timing and conviction of their trading decisions.

Most traders believe success comes from finding the right indicator or predicting the next move. In reality, performance is determined before the market even opens. In this live session, Adrian Manz, Ph.D., a 30-year professional trader and co-founder of TraderInsight, will walk you step-by-step through the exact premarket routine used by elite traders to prepare for the opening bell—and then demonstrate how that preparation translates into real-time trade execution.

You’ll learn how to:

- Identify high-probability opportunities before the open

- Structure trades with predefined entry, stop, and target levels

- Understand how institutional order flow drives the first hour

- Eliminate emotional decision-making through a rules-based process

Then, Adrian will take you into the open, where he will execute and break down live trades in:

- Magnificent 7 stocks

- Index futures

- 2SD opening gap setups in S&P 500 stocks

This session is designed to show—not just tell—how professional traders approach the most important hour of the trading day. If you’ve ever felt like you’re reacting to the market instead of executing a plan, this presentation will give you a clear framework to trade with structure, discipline, and confidence.

Get ready for a no-holds-barred discussion of this wild market – and how to navigate it as an active trader! Learn what Steve’s technical indicators are showing, and how you should use them to improve your focus and discipline in a headline-driven environment. Plus, find out what trading opportunities he finds particularly attractive for the rest of the second quarter – and beyond.

In today’s complex and volatile markets, a single line of defense is rarely sufficient to protect investor portfolios. This presentation introduces Tactical Allocation Models (TAM), a next-generation framework built on a multi-layered defense that dynamically adapts to shifting market conditions. You’ll explore how TAM integrates an adaptive Volume Factor risk overlay with defined outcome strategies—including floors and buffers—to address distinct phases of the market cycle and help mitigate downside risk and drawdowns. Beyond the mechanics, you’ll discover how this synergistic, goals-based approach aligns with behavioral finance insights, aiming to improve client outcomes by enhancing emotional resilience and reducing the likelihood of impulsive decisions. Attendees will leave with a tactical blueprint for constructing more resilient portfolios—and cultivating greater investor confidence. 

Kenny will demonstrate in this session how you can tell when it is time to cover your shorts if you are shorter and brave enough to go long when you cover—all by using VWAP. 

Falling realized and implied volatility levels have helped the market quickly recover from the Spring Tariff Tantrum. However, we observed similar price action in 2018 during the first trade war, followed by a period of significantly higher volatility levels, as economic data began to sour and tariffs started to take effect. We could consider a repeat, given that tariff levels today are significantly higher than they were in the past.
