Rebel Traders™ Podcast - Stock Market Trading Strategies, Insights & Analysis with Sean Donahoe & Phil Newton

Since the crash of 2008-09 we've been in a raging bull market and there has been a wealth of opportunity (literally and figuratively). We've been overdue for a correction according to historical numbers but is this really a 10 year bull run or an evolution of the markets as a whole? In this weeks show, Sean and Phil pull it all apart and break down what is happening to these markets, what has happ...

On January 4th we started a $100k challenge. Starting with just a simple $1000 and utilizing a powerful, yet ultra-simple strategy and minimal risk, the goal is to take that small account and grow it to $100,000k. So, in today's podcast, we're taking a look at the project's progress, how things are rolling and what's next…

As traders we all have a goal in mind where we feel we have hit success. However, the road between there and where we are now may require us to change the way we think as well as how we trade. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil tackle what it actually takes to not only step up and break through that ceiling but also what is needed to logically scale up your trading without taking crazy risks a...

At some point in your trading you will likely blow up an account. It's something that almost every trader has had to deal with at some stage in their life. However, there is one aspect no-one every really talks about and that is when people self sabotage their accounts. So, in this weeks show, Sean and Phil discuss how and why a flawed mindset and hidden issues that can lead people to stop themsel...

What happens to you when you realize that your trading account isn't dead - its only mostly dead?   Do you know when to shout Yippee Kay-yay Mother BLEEP - after another new equity high in your account has been made?   Maybe you keep getting stopped out and the whole experience is … INCONCEIVABLE!   Whatever you're doing and no matter where your trading places are - here is how we learned to trade...

Traders are always to blame, easy targets for the media and for politicians. And with 2020 looming ahead it seems every politician wants to head to the White house while screaming blue murder about the evil wealthy, traders and every other target of opportunity in order to connect with the "Common People"...    Well, in this week's show we're going to dig into why we have the big laser-target red...

Should you zig or zag? Do you see an opportunity that takes you away from your trading plan and strategy? Are you going to stick to your guns? Well, in this week's show we're going to see about whether to take the step or resist the urge to pull the trigger.    This is one critical area of trading that can be the undoing of many traders portfolios and blows up accounts. Sean and Phil help decide w...

In a change to our regular programming, a challenge was laid. In the finest tradition of Randolph and Mortimer from Trading Places a small wager was placed and either way, you stand to be the winner.    The challenge was to take a small account of just $1,000 and turn it into a $100,000 in the shortest time possible without betting the farm, in a consistent, methodical way without being glued to t...

One thing we are always talking about is how time-frames can dramatically change your perspective on a stock or even the broad markets. Often times it can present an opportunity that was previously hidden or it can mask a BIG problem you were not aware of.    So, in this weeks show, Sean and Phil dive in a little deeper and give their perspective on the pros and cons of switching time frames when...

There comes a time in a traders career when it's time to hit the hard reset. What I call "Clean Slate Protocol". When one of the best things you can do is close all your positions in your portfolio and either take all your profits off the table or take all the losses on the chin and start again.    In this week's show, we look at what would drive a decision to do that or when you SHOULD actually c...

After a peaceful week off with our feet up, whiskey in hand and a fine cigar or two. We've still been keeping an eye on the markets during this lull in market volume. However, a few interesting things are going on and it's setting up an interesting time ahead for the start of the year.    We look ahead to see what's going on for the year but also how the markets barely missed Bearish territory and...

2018 is almost in the rearview mirror and it's going out kicking and screaming. The bears are coming out of hibernation and roaring up a storm and the bulls are running for the hills. Yield curves are flatter than an ironing board and every old pundit is being wheeled out to give their 2c on what's going to happen next.    All the while, Sean and Phil and sitting back and watching the storms roll...

Some people look at the stock market like it's the Matrix. The uninitiated walking around in some sort of haze unaware of what is going on around them. While it feels a select few are able to dive down the rabbit hole and see how far it goes…    So, in this weeks show, Sean and Phil, don the cool shades and long leather jackets and jack into the markets to see if they can bend some spoons along th...

We usually get a "Santa Rally" in the last week of December and the first couple of days into January. However, with all the recent turmoil in the markets, Sean and Phil pick the numbers apart and see what the hell is really going on.    With the DOW losing 700 points in a day, inverted yield curves, $140B wiped of FAANG stocks and a temporary China Trade Truce… There's a hell of a lot going on!

Turn on the news and it's all fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria! And that's just the financial news networks talking about the last few weeks...   So, we're going to take a HUGE step back, look at the bigger picture and get to the root of...

With all the turmoil in the markets, it's hard for many traders to keep their heads and their eyes on the target. Emotion can grab you and force you to make bad decisions based on gut reaction rather than smart decisions based on facts.    So, in this week's Podcast, we're going to discuss how to keep your cool even when faced with overwhelming emotion and a market that just isn't going your way… 

Keep your eyes on the prize and your sights on the target.

All to often, it's too easy to get locked into a position or trade. However, when the winds of change blow it can be hard to trim sails and tack a new course.   So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil plot a new course cut through the chop and ride the waves as they show you why, as a trader, you should always be prepared to change your mind…

Well, the financial news media has had plenty of material over the last few weeks as the markets go more than a little bit crazy and we are changing gears to discuss what the heck is going on, why it's happening and what you can do to take advantage of the wild ride. So, strap in, keep your arms and legs in the car at all times and get ready as Sean and Phil tackle the markets to the ground and gi...

Ok, this one could be a doozy! It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are sitting on, who your preferred president would be or which senator or congressional representative is hanging on your bedroom wall or dartboard.    These guys and gals all can have a huge influence on the market. With the midterms looming, we're going to dive in to the swamp and pick apart a few "what if" scenarios and...

It's easy being a lion lounging on the rocks watching the herd roll by when you know which direction the herd is going and what pressures are moving them forward.     It's the same with the markets as we prepare to place our trades. We look over the edge of the rocks and see which way the wind is blowing, what has happened over night and how the markets are moving before the trading day starts to...

Here at Trade Canyon, we are primarily options traders. Many of the special strategies we have developed are based around 20+ years of trading. However, a lot of the time, most people seem to avoid options and I feel that is mostly because people don't really understand options.    On top of that, there is a LOT of misinformation about options. So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil break it all d...

Sometimes its more than a wee bit difficult to keep emotion out of your trading, especially when there are some stocks that just piss you off. Maybe it's from a bad trade or just a bad taste in your mouth when you have had dealings with that company...    Well, in this week's show, Sean and Phil are picking apart some companies that are on their personal dart board as well as common stocks that pe...

On of the biggest problems we see traders have to deal with is the STRESS of trading. Stress and an over abundance of emotional investment in your positions can be a HUGE detriment to your trading success.    So, in this week's show, Sean and Phil tackle how you can dramatically reduce or even eliminate the stress of trading so that you can sleep easy knowing your portfolio is doing the hard work...

Have you ever rolled through scenarios in your head and asked "What would I do if X happened?". Well, we do that all the time, it's called PLANNING and we get asked all the time for many different  scenarios our thoughts and what we would actually do.  So, in this week's show we are going to ask a few "What if's" and share our insights and thoughts as we roll through contingency plans, procedures...
