Access to a weekly publication (Sunday Evenings after futures open) which contains insights about current economic news impacting the markets. The newsletter includes 10 tickers with either an excellent technical setup, or with a Fundamental Catalyst coming soon. The Technical Analysis done for each chart analyses each indicator individually, and then as a group, complete with pictures to help subscribers learn to identify the patterns and signals in the Technical Indicators.
Scanners
Scanners
All scanners are based off the setup described in Black Ink Economics Guide to Technical Indicators, and the Guide to Advanced Technical Analysis. We use a combination of various technical indicators on multiple timeframes to identify the low-end entries for short term, profitable Swing Trades or Scalps.

Swings n’ Scalps
$

-
The newly improved Swings N Scalps scanner first identifies incoming bullish expansions, right as the Bollinger Bands begin to spread. However, to increase the probabilities and decrease the number if identified tickers, we brought in new metrics: A specific pattern in Relative Volume Standard Deviation and in the Accumulation Distribution on longer time frames, and entry indicators on the 1min, 5min, and 15min timeframes. These tend to remain in place for 1-3 days before a new Technical Analysis is warranted.

Large/Mid Cap
-
There is a Large/Medium Cap or a Low Float version of this scanner. The Large/Medium Cap explicitly searches only for tickers which have an Options chain. Both scanners are tuned to find bullish technical setups on the 4hr, 1hr, and 15min charts—giving it more staying power, and making these alerts Swing Trades typically in play between 2-9 days. Because we are using longer time frames, immediate action is not always necessary when this scanner alerts. Traders can often come back and look at this scanners’ hits a day or two after they initially hit. As long as they have yet to yield +10% or more, or drop 6-8% since the alert, they are still considered bullish, and in play.

This scanner has the most strict set of requirements. In addition to the swing signals off the 1hr and 15m charts, these also have displayed one of 3 very specific “Pre-Bullish” setups (AccumulationDistribution, Relative Volume Standard Deviation, and a TTMWave:Bollinger Band signal), as well as trend confirmation signals from the TTMtrend on the 30min timeframe and DPO_MOBO bullish breakout signal.
Bottomfishing

-
Similar to the setup required in the Swings n Scalps scanner, except in this case, the scanner exclusively looks for tickers which have dropped 10% or more in the previous day and is on a Short Sale Restriction (SSR). These are high risk ideas, but when a ticker is SSR, volume can bring prices that are over-valued given the circumstance.
Options Scalper
$
99
/ Month
-
The tickers which show up on the Options Scalper are experiencing strong bullish technical indicators on the shorter time frame charts (1min and 3min). The trades are expected to only last between 2-20 minutes before a new Technical Analysis is warranted. The scanner will NOT pick which options contract is best, that is on the job of the trader. Probabilities increase dramatically on days when the Free ETF scanner is displaying Long or Bullish ETF/ETNs.
Knife Catcher

This scanner is primarily meant to bring traders attention towards all the tickers which have dropped dramatically (over 25%) in less than a single trading session. Additionally, we have included some of the early reversal signals you see from 5min and 15min technical setups. Traders are strongly encouraged to look up the news for all the tickers displayed in this scanner to determine what the reason for the drop was, or to find the one that perhaps dropped for no reason what-so-ever!

-
This 2nd textbook builds on the first one by adding
-
1. The DPO_MOBO, a leading indicator for the MACD
-
2. The Relative Volume Standard Deviation, and how to use it to identify Large Pockets, Hedge Funds, Insiders, or other whales attempting to accumulate quietly during sideways or bearish periods.
-
3. The VWAP: Weighted Moving Average support and resistance analysis, meant to minimize bullish entries, and maximize the probability of a successful, short term, trade.
-
4. The Fibonacci Retracement Levels, and how to use them to identify specific-to-the-penny, pullback entry spots after a bullish period. Combining this with the bullish entry indicators from the Guide to Technical Indicators, and the signals from this book, significantly increase the probability of a successful trade, which you will see from the end of chapter quiz sections!
-
5. A form for readers to set their own personal trading rules. The rules are laid out in a way to show how adjusting your rules can lead to more consistent portfolio growth, even while a trader is still working on their success rate!

Tutoring
1-1 Tutoring Curriculums
1-1 tutoring is done with the author of the textbooks and owner of Black Ink Economics, Kyle Herman. Tutoring sessions are meant to give students enough time to learn, and PROVE they learned, the entire curriculum. Including each individual technical indicator, how it works and what exactly a bearish and bullish signal looks like. As such, I do not limit the number of phone calls or zoom sessions. Most curriculums take students less than 5 sessions plus practice time, with some of the shorter curriculums usually requiring fewer sessions.
Tutoring includes:
- A Hardcover and Ecopy of the chosen Textbook.
- 3-5 (or more as needed) Zoom sessions or Phone Calls with Kyle, where we work together to learn the curriculum, build your Think or Swim charts, and practice during market hours after we have gone through the indicators.
- Lifetime Access to the Textbook Swings Scanner on the website AND the TOS download to have the scanner on your Think or Swim Platform.
- 1 month free of Alerts and the weekly Newsletter.
- The Technical Analysis Cheat Sheet Poster!
