Last night, I went live for my Money Pattern Mastery Preview Event, where I revealed the framework that powers every alert, every scan, and every strategy I trade.
Here’s what I covered:
- How the Money Calendar spots repeatable patterns you can trade with confidence
- The top seasonal setups I’m watching for Q1—including one that’s still in play right now
- Why these patterns repeat—and how to get ahead of them
- How to trade with a plan, not emotion
But if you couldn’t make it, don’t worry… I recorded the whole thing for you to watch at your convenience.
You’ll also find a few of the most common questions from the event answered below—especially around how these patterns play out in real trades, and what it looks like inside the Partners Program.
Q: Tom, you kept referencing the “January effect” and SPY’s seasonal tendencies. But you also said not to buy early. Can you clarify when (and why) the better opportunity comes later in the month?
Great catch! Most people talk about the first week of January as the “tell” for the rest of the month. That’s what’s popularly known as the January effect. The problem is, it’s vague.
Just because the first week finishes higher doesn’t mean it’s the best entry point. My research shows that SPY’s most consistent bullish pattern doesn’t even start until January 22—and that’s based on 10 years of seasonal data.
In fact, from Jan 22 through mid-February, SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) shows a 90% historical win rate, but only about a 2% return on average. It’s not huge, but it’s consistent… and that kind of precision is critical if you want to give yourself an edge.
That’s exactly what you’ll learn—but in even more detail—in Money Pattern Mastery. When you learn how to identify time and price projections like this using the Money Calendar, you’re not guessing. You’re trading with a data-backed plan.

Q: You showed some pretty huge returns on stocks like JPM, GLD, and TPR. Are those typical? And how do you find them?
I love this question, because it gets to the heart of what we do in seasonal pattern trading.
And no, not every trade delivers 100%+ returns. But when you know where to look, they do show up… and they’re predictable. Each of the trades I walked through (JPM, PGR, GLD, COST, and TPR) was based on a seasonal pattern with a 90%+ success rate over the last 10 years.
TPR, for example, is still active right now and showing a projected 12% stock move before Feb 20. We’re looking at an options spread that could double our money—and we’ve only seen one losing year out of the last ten.
That kind of consistency comes from using the Money Calendar. It helps me scan over 400 of the best stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the market to pinpoint the exact dates, direction, and expected move. I’m talking about the cream of the crop.
And that’s the core of what I teach in Money Pattern Mastery, and it’s why the program includes access to the same tools I use every day.
Q: I’m new to this seasonal trading approach. Do I really need the full Money Pattern Mastery program to get started?
Here’s the unfiltered truth: You can dabble in seasonal trading without it. But if you want to learn how to consistently spot high-probability trades and use rules-based setups—not gut feelings—then this program is how you get there.
Over the course of 4 weeks, you’ll learn:
- How to scan for repeatable patterns in both stocks and ETFs
- How to identify entry/exit dates with historical accuracy
- How to build option trades with fixed risk and high reward potential
- How to access my proprietary Money Calendar scan used to generate these trade ideas
I’m only doing this once this year, so if you’re ready to take control of your trading—and the markets—now’s the time to get in.
And one more thing before you go…
The market is closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. So I won’t be going live for the Patterns & Profits, but we’ll hit the road again on Tuesday.
Until then, enjoy your long weekend!
