A whole new breed of short-term swing trades.
When the next Burn Signal fires in the dark ticker, the alert comes straight to you — the ticker, the signs that triggered, a stock play and an options play.
“My next alert goes out tomorrow or early next week. Join now so you don't miss it.”
While the whole market stared at the same seven stocks, I was looking at the rest of the tape.
April 14th. Nvidia was up ten days in a row. Every feed, every financial channel, every chatroom — Nvidia.
That same day, a Burn Signal fired on ETSY. A quiet $56 stock nobody was talking about. Three days later, that options trade was up about 105%.
That's the Dark Ticker. And you didn't just see the winners. You saw everything:
A model account taking every signal, one options contract per recorded exit

And I want to be straight with you about how this worked. It isn't because the winners were huge and the losers were small. They were about the same size. It's because three out of four signals worked — and every loss had a cap. Six of the ten losers went to zero, and zero was known before every entry. The biggest single loss was $170 on one contract.
Seven stocks make up about a third of the S&P 500. Sixty of the 65 analysts covering Amazon say buy. Nvidia is the most-held stock on Robinhood. Every screen, every feed, every headline — the same seven names.
And when everybody sees the same headline at the same second, you're not early. You're last in line.

Meanwhile, hundreds of stocks move every day with barely a mention. That's where all 44 of my signals fired. Not one of them was a Mag 7 stock.
But looking in the dark isn't enough on its own. Most quiet stocks stay quiet. The question is which one is about to move — before it moves.
After 38 years — NASDAQ market making, my own hedge fund, eight years as Chief Market Technician at TD Ameritrade — I kept seeing the same four things change before a quiet stock made a fast move.
Here's how they looked on a real trade — SWKS (Skyworks), signal on August 4, 2026 — one sign at a time, on my own charts.
Price starts to compress. It’s where every signal starts.

Strength builds underneath the move.

Money moves in — or out — before the price does.

Enough momentum to carry the move once it starts.

That's the minimum. Three signs is strong conviction. All four is maximum conviction. But the minimum isn't a guarantee. Trimble had the Smoke Pattern and the Heat Gauge — but no money and no momentum behind it. I passed, and it went nowhere for six weeks.


Every gold ring is a sign that confirmed — on my own charts, before the move. Up and down. Not one Mag 7 stock.

“I'd never thought about trading ETSY. Well, paid my $$ and followed the trade and did well. I feel the burn.”James P. · Huntsville, AL
“Prof was right — as usual — look at SCHW!”Liana T. · Miami, FL
“My first profitable short stock trade ever… Thanks!”Edward S. · Shelton, CT
Individual results vary.
When enough of the four line up in the dark ticker, it has a name. That's a Burn Signal. And reading all four together, across a 200-stock watchlist, every week, is not a weekend project. That's what I do for you.
You're making coffee. You're not scrolling headlines. You're not watching the same seven screens as everyone else.
Your phone lights up. A Burn Signal alert. A specific ticker — a stock nobody's talking about. The signs that triggered. A stock play. An options play. The work is already done.
You read it. You decide. You get on with your day.
Same market. Same morning. Two completely different traders.


“Your Burn Signal has been the best service I've purchased through TheoTrade!!! I LOVE IT!”Mark C. · Crescent Springs, KY
“In just 2 days, I made enough to cover my entire 3-year membership. I joined on April 12th, received my first trade alert on the 14th… and within 2 days, I'd already made enough profit to pay for my full 3-year membership.”Rita P. · Quebec, Canada
“Already paid for the class with first 4 trades. Thanks Jeff!”David Y. · Brentwood, TN

Total value: $9,779. One core — and everything built around it.
The core
A whole new breed of short-term swing trades. About twice a week, when a Burn Signal qualifies, the alert comes to you. A specific ticker. The signs that triggered. A stock play and an options play in every alert — trade it however you like.
I scan the 200-stock watchlist. I check all four signs. You don't go looking. By the time the alert lands, the work is done.
New
Brand new, and taught live by me. The whole Burn Signal framework from the ground up — the Smoke Pattern, the Heat Gauge, the Fuel Line, the Draft — on real charts, with your questions answered while I teach.
The alerts let me find Burn Signals for you. The Masterclass teaches you to see what I'm seeing. Can't make a session? It's recorded.
When I ran my hedge fund, I knew every client by name. At TD Ameritrade I reached millions of traders — and lost that. The Burn Room is small on purpose. Alerts land here first, we talk through setups in real time, and I'm in there every day.
Every alert, every entry, every exit and every open position — on one page, in real time. The 44 signals you saw today? That's the Tracker. It's how you hold me accountable.
My weekly read on where money is moving and what conditions look like — so when an alert lands, you already know why. The alert tells you what. The Brief tells you why.
Once a month, we come together live. The bigger picture, where I'm looking next, and your questions answered directly. Not a recording. Me. Live.
Before your first alert fires, this walks you through the signal, the four signs and the Tracker — so when the first setup lands, you know exactly what you're looking at.
New · Enrollment bonus
A brand-new video. I take three successful Burn Signal trades and walk you through each one from entry to exit — the four signs on the real chart before the move, and what happened along the way. Revisit it whenever you like and see exactly what I was looking at.

That's about $1.82 a day for everything above. Or one year for $995.
Bought one year at a time, three years would cost $2,985. You save $995 — a full year.
In this special enrollment: $1,990. You pay for two years — the third is free. This is the best offer we've made on Burn Signal.
Never auto-billed. One payment covers three full years. When they're up, you choose whether to renew — at the same rate. Nothing is charged without your yes.
Join, watch the alerts come in, sit in the Burn Room. If at any point in the first 30 days you decide it isn't for you — for any reason — you get every dollar of your membership fee back.
We've never offered this before. Take ten trades in your first 90 days. If you're still not satisfied, send us your trade proof and we'll refund your membership fee. Both periods start the day you join.
“Prof, thank you for the BOX trade and the rest of the calls. I have made back my initial investment and an extra 100% from the rest of the trades. Losses have been minimal. Blessed to have found you.”Cherie T. · Arlington, MA
“You're making a huge difference in my family's life.”Ronald P. · Louisville, KY
Individual results vary. These members' experiences are not typical and are not a guarantee of future results.
“My next alert goes out tomorrow or early next week. When it lands, members get it. If you're not in, you don't.”
The next alert is going out extremely soon — tomorrow or early next week. Join now, and it comes straight to you: the ticker, the signs that triggered, a stock play and an options play.
This special enrollment does stay open until the Live Masterclass begins on Monday, Nov 2 at 1 PM ET — after that, three years for $1,990 goes away. But the next alert goes out long before then — so get in now and don't miss it.
The Burn Room caps at 200 members.
No. These setups were identified and recorded in real time, before the moves shown. You've seen the recorded entry and exit prices and the full closed record for the period — including all ten losses.
No. The alerts do the scanning and the reading for you. If you want to understand what I'm seeing, the Ignition Training gets you started and the Live Masterclass teaches the whole framework.
Either — or both. Every alert comes with a stock play and an options play, so you can trade it the way you prefer. The results you saw today came from the options trades.
About twice a week — when a Burn Signal qualifies, not before. Some weeks will be busier than others; the signal decides, not the calendar.
It's recorded, so you won't miss anything. Watch it whenever suits you.
No. Never. When your three years are up, you choose whether to renew — at the same $1,990. Nothing is charged without your yes.
You have 30 days to decide, for any reason — every dollar of your membership fee back. And the new 90-day, 10-trade guarantee goes further if you give the signal a fair test.
Some people, for whatever reason, love to stare at the Mag 7 and follow every single tick, up and down, all day long. If that's you, this isn't for you. It's not designed for you, and you shouldn't enroll.
The stocks a Burn Signal fires on? Nobody's talking about them the week it appears. No headlines. No crowd behind you telling you you're right. Just a quiet chart, and a setup checked against the Burn Signal rules.
This is for the person who'd rather be early than last in line.
