About FTTC

From the trading couch, is a monthly market digest providing higher time frame views of the indexes, sectors and/or individual charts focusing on larger trends. We will be discussing the impacts that current policies are having on the markets and what sectors should be impacted. We’ll break down these areas of the market detailing the market structures and volume profiles that identify when larger players are buying or selling their positions. 

It can be frustrating, embarrassing, depressing, infuriating, etc…to trade the markets relying on the news to give you some insight. How often have you seen a company with good earnings sell off 15-20%? What would cause such a thing? 

It makes absolutely no sense sometimes. There’s a reason for that. It’s part of the plan. FTTC attempts to highlight larger trends in the market to help provide context to what is currently happening from a large operator’s perspective. Individual examples are discussed identifying key events within the overall business cycle. These are the ranges where institutions are either buying or selling. From there, it doesn’t really matter what the news says. 

If you’re new and have questions or are viewing our content for the first time, we recommend visiting The Basics and The Library for additional resources.
