Milton has moved on, and we were spared the worst of the carnage. Some of our Florida neighbors were not so lucky, but all in all, it could have been much more devastating than it was.

While we repair some of the damage, dry out, and take all the boards down from the windows, I want to keep you focused on the basics of options trading – and the growing library of free research at your fingertips.

Yesterday, we talked about how to read a risk graph to help you manage your risk and predict your option profits…

Today, we’re going to stick with charts – and I’m going to show you the five charts I use to decode the financial markets – and profit every week.

It’s all in a special report that’s already in the Gulfport library, but I wanted to make sure I put it directly in your hands…

As I’ll show you in this report, analyzing charts this way is foundational to how I see and trade the markets – and I want to make sure we’re speaking the same language when it comes to trading.

Because we talk about the benchmarks and indicators outlined in this report every single week here at Patterns & Profits.

In fact, we use this approach every Monday in our Five Points Video Update, where I break down the markets by looking at five powerful asset classes…

• Stocks

• Bonds

• Commodities

• Currencies

• Cryptocurrencies

I apply a host of indicators to these market benchmarks to make projections about how these asset classes are likely to perform going forward – and how to set up for a profitable week.

That’s all for today…

Tomorrow, I’ll be back with a back-to-basics Q&A!

Good trading,
