Big Picture Short Term Inflection Points

Broad Market Outlook
As the market has faded nearly half of the new year rally, it closed the week in a somewhat pivotal spot in the short term. 
Since we put the current low in October, the market has shifted away from a lower low and lower high market, into a higher low and higher market. Or as one could simply say, a trending market. 
As much as this perfect green trend line to hold and for the market to turn back up through 400 and climb to a new short term high. We have to remember that unlike the run ups to resistance where the stock or market often can stop on a dime at major levels. On the way down, when emotions are high, the selling pressure often has to get streteched just a bit farther then most want. 
As much as we want 390 to hold or hope for the 380 area to hold, sometimes the market still needs to shake the tree a bit harder before the next run up can start. 
As a group, we have done an amazing job as our patience as increased over the years that sitting out is not the hardest thing to do. 
From a passive apporach, nothing changes as we welcome and appreicate the fluctuations and drops out of the market. As most members saw last year that with a market that dropped 21% dollar cost averaging every week without fail lead to some impressive returns with some even ending the year profitable. 
From an active side, I have been take a much more concentrated apporach focusing on a few top ideas, and sizing up when the risk is tight. While having not a second thought of getting back into cash if the stock is not reacting as one would expect. 
Even with the overall market weakness there are still a few names setting up, GL is still flagging high and tight near all time highs. OTIS is flagging nicely near its short term high and names like AME and MNST still range bound within there broader full flags.

Tax Experts
Every year we have to go through the pain and stress of tax returns. Fortunately, as a Trading Experts member you have the opportunity to make things a little easier on yourself.
Over the last 3 years we have worked with several members filing their tax returns as quick and easy as possible.
After reaching out to some of the members who filed with us this is what they had to say:
“It was a very organized system, I was able to upload all the documents and information in a very simple way following the instructions. The team guided me every step of the way and left no question unanswered. I saved an extra 30% last year filing with you!” – Niko I.
“Being a business owner, I expected to pay taxes since that’s what I always hear. But when I filed my taxes with Trading Experts, I was actually able to get a return! It made the process way easier than doing it myself. Don’t waste time trying to find someone cheap they end up making mistakes, with TE things get done properly and they save you a lot more on taxes." – Iban L.
“It was a lot of work on my end to get all the needed documents but once I finally got all that together I didn’t have to do anything after. First time I spent money filing, and it was pretty simple, I definitely recommend! – Tyler K.
Tax advice is similar to investing in that you can take the “free” route that usually ends up costing you a lot more than if you invested in the proper help from the start.
The average individual return for our clients cost $500 to file properly. Our goal is to save you 5-1 on your return. If you’re not happy with the tax return, it will be 100% free.
Maximize your savings and minimize your stress with expert tax preparation services from our team of certified accountants.
Our years of experience and commitment to staying up to date on the latest tax laws and regulations ensures that you get the most out of your returns.
Don’t leave money on the table or risk penalties, trust us to handle your tax needs accurately and efficiently. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message to discuss further.

Big Picture Set Up
 
AME
As AME continues to pull in within its broader bull flag, we can continue to bring down our buy stops to catch the turn. 148 is the blue sky entry area while for now after we can see a pivot low form, we can start a feeler position up through 144. 
GL
GL continues to bull flag under the blue sky area of 124, the 120 area is holding so perfectly, we almost should expect a shakeout of that area before any real break out is to come. 
KRTX
This KRTX has been basing out for a few months now inside of the overall breakdown stage it has been in. After a somewhat decent earnings report, KRTX continues to respect 180 as support, if it continues to base out, we want to look for an entry when it can attempt to break the overall downtrend that it has been in since August. 
OTIS
OTIS is bull flagging nicely in a $2.50 flag in front of this 85 level, this is not a blue sky breakout but still a nice tight risk flag that we can take advantage of. 
UPS
Got triggered into UPS late in the day on Friday after gapping down eariler in the week and trading back up near the prior breakout level. UPS looked prime for a sneaky support buy back late in the week. For now keeping the stop vs the gap down low area of 176 with the goal of selling nearly resistance around 190.
