This Market Is Far From Perfect, But…  | BY KEITH KAPLAN
CEO, TRADESMITH |
This is just the right market to celebrate TradeSmith’s 20th anniversary. That’s because bull or bear… we don’t care. If you read that and you’re thinking I’ve lost it – just give me two minutes, and I’ll show you what I mean. Obviously, nothing about this market seems perfect. In fact, it’s far from perfect. It’s never perfect. Stocks have stalled and are getting dumped. The economy is shifting under a new presidential administration. Inflation, interest rates, AI disruption – uncertainty is everywhere. And with all of that, you could argue the news cycle is killing the stock market. But when you look deeper, a different picture emerges. Our data shows we’re in a rare market environment… one we haven’t seen since the mid-1990s and, before that, the Roaring ’20s. We call this rare market pattern a Mega Melt-Up. And it could create generational wealth over the next 12 months… for those who know how to play it. But will the overall market care? Will just a handful of stocks melt up? Will we see broad “mega crashes” instead? The Truth About This Market They say “history doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes.” And the last time we saw conditions like this – high volatility, shifting economic conditions, and massive technological disruption – was in the 1990s dot-com boom. Before that, it was the 1920s, when electrification and mass production transformed the economy. In both cases, the markets didn’t just rise – they exploded. The Nasdaq Composite rose over 1,000% from 1995 to the peak in 2000. And from 1920 to 1929, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 450%. In both cases, the early skeptics got it wrong. That’s exactly what any bear is doing right now. But those who rode the market? It wasn’t an easy ride up at all! And look, I get it. I’m right there shaking my head with you watching the markets rise and fall sharply every day. It’s tough. But our research shows that we are in another Mega Melt-Up – a rare, once-in-a-generation surge that could send stocks soaring over the next 12 to 24 months. That’s why our newest version of Trade360 – a powerful suite of analysis and risk management tools – couldn’t have come at a better time. Navigating the Mega Melt Up Navigating a Mega Melt-Up isn’t as simple as buying and holding any stock. You have to be strategic – knowing when to buy, when to sell, and which stocks have the best setups. That’s exactly what Trade360 was built for. With these tools, you can: - Pinpoint the best times to buy and sell using our proprietary risk management system.
- Find high-quality trade ideas with automatic alerts on stocks primed for big moves.
- Use proven trading strategies to capitalize on volatility.
And our newest feature – Snapback Trades – is tailor-made for moments just like this. It’s one of the best strategies we’ve ever created. And it’s been a dream of mine to have in our stable. It’s the type of strategy that works in all markets. In a raging bull market, it will perform well as it identifies just a few trades. But it really shines in major volatility like we’re seeing today and will thrive when the next bear market hits. It simply turns market volatility into profit by identifying stocks that have dropped too far, too fast and are primed for a short-term bounce. And it’s driven by a sophisticated set of algorithms. Instead of fearing pullbacks, Snapback Trades capitalize on them by pinpointing the exact moment when selling has gone too far – creating a high-probability bounce opportunity. Here’s a generalization of how it works on individual stocks: - The Snapback Strategy identifies stocks that have hit extreme oversold levels based on historical data.
- It pinpoints when selling has gone too far, creating strong odds of a snapback.
- It triggers a buy signal when those conditions align for a quick recovery.
And the results? After testing this system on 338 historical trades, the numbers were clear: - 79.59% win rate – nearly 4 out of 5 trades were profitable.
- 15.83% average gain per trade – captured in just 30 days. Imagine if you could do that every single month!
Let’s look at two live examples… Just last Friday, Feb. 28, the Snapback Strategy turned bullish on Axon Enterprises (AXON). The black horizontal line below shows when the signal went into effect, and the targeted length of the trade and the average gain are marked in blue and green: 
Historically, Snapback signals have almost an 80% win rate and deliver an average of nearly 16% return per trade. If this trade follows past patterns, AXON could snap back to around $610 per share by the end of March – a fast, high-odds move. For traders looking for even bigger gains, this setup also presents opportunities to buy call options or sell put options to collect premium. Another recent Snapback Trade was West Pharmaceutical Services (WST) on Feb. 20. And then something strange happened… Even as the broad market struggled, WST surged nearly 16% in just 14 days: 
Most investors didn’t make 14% in two weeks – because they were too focused on the news, political uncertainty, and endless speculation about interest rates. Meanwhile, Snapback Trades were cutting through the noise and finding profitable trades – even as the market pulled back. Before I Go, Let Me Just Say… A year from now, the frustrations of today’s market will be completely forgotten. I fully expect stocks to be higher. And the real regret will belong to those who sat on the sidelines instead of taking advantage of what’s happening. To do that, our Trade360 system can help you identify the Melt-Up and the Melt-Down… bull markets, bear markets, and everything in between. So, it’s not just about a Mega Melt-Up. It’s the best way to get alerts on your own stocks to know if they are a buy or a sell. It’s the best way to put money to work if you’d like to go long… or try one of our shorter term stock-trading strategies. It really is the most holistic system we’ve ever built and put together for you. All of your worries about when to buy, how much to buy, and when to sell (without any emotion driving the bus) can be managed right inside of TradeSmith. It’s what Trade360 is all about. That’s why I urge you – before this presentation comes down tonight – watch the full research on Trade360 and the Mega Melt-Up. The next 12 months could be life-changing. No matter what happens, it could be a perfect market for you. But only if you take action. Full details right here. All the best,
