Slingshot Setups
We've identified 10 trading setups that we use to systematically identify low risk high reward trades. We call them "Slingshots" because they lead to quick bursts in price action, and they include more than just patterns - that's why we call them "Setups".
Slingshot Setups is an online streaming video training course designed to give you trading rules that you need to swing or day trade these powerful setups. We show you 'Exact' entry points, stops, targets and trailing profit-taking exits... everything you need to score BIG in the markets is included.
Because these setups begin with daily charts, you can identify which stocks you are going to trade BEFORE the trading day begins. This allows you to create a short list of great trading opportunities and then you can turn your focus on trading the specific entry and exit rules rather than feeling trading anxiety or over-analyzing the market action.
Why We Love Slingshot Setups

It is a leading indicator for how much follow through the other three major indices (the S&P 500 (SPY), NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) might experience. This index represents 2000 small cap stocks, which manufacture and distribute goods and services primarily within the United States.
The Russell's are "Granddad!" With 2000 stocks in this index, companies such as La-Z-Boy, World Wrestling Foundation, Crocs, Frontline, and Smith and Wesson, represent the "meat" of the U.S. economy.
Granddad guides you to observe how the "meat" of the U.S. small cap companies is performing. This information, allows you to assess independently and effortlessly the pulse of the economy and the market. However, the IWM does not stand alone.
Grandma is the Retail sector (XRT); after all, she controls the family budget. As 70% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Granny Retail tells us whether consumers are out there doing their part to stimulate the economy.
As an accurate measure of consumer confidence, the Retail sector must keep up with or lead the indices for sustained rallies. That makes Granddad and Grandma a perfect pair. If they are both performing well, most likely so is the overall market. If they are both feeling poorly, that is extremely helpful information. If they are going in opposite directions, take that as a sign of caution.
Granny Retail is in a "typical" mall within the United States. Stores such as Nordstrom's, GameStop, Wal-Mart, Costco, TJ Maxx and O'Reilly Automotive, XRT consider the shopping habits of most U.S. consumers.
Granddad and Grandma have four grownup kids.
Brother Regional Banks (KRE) is the Prodigal Son. He has periods of wastefulness coupled with periods of high productivity; KRE tells us the borrowing and saving habits of the American consumer.
Regional Banks is a key sibling in the Modern Family because he measures the health of the U.S. Regional Banks, where many local folks put their money. In the cartoon, KRE, the Prodigal Son stands in his office at a Regional Bank. He tends to be Bullish on America. He leans on his desk for support. He's always ready to ask for forgiveness just in case he cannot do right by his customers. His cat (or one might say KRE's alter ego), on the other hand, has unabashed confidence that whatever the Regional Banks do is always the right thing at the right time.
KRE is a reliable indicator of what the Federal Reserve might do regarding raising or lowering interest rates. It also helps market analysts calculate consumers saving and borrowing habits. Regional Banks has a Transgender sibling.
In the cartoon, Transportation (IYT) is transgender because IYT is a variable and ever-changing element of the US economy. In today's world, the nature of how goods and services move through the economy is shifting with e-commerce and the internet. Nonetheless, how IYT is behaving continues to be very important. Our Trans is an airplane pilot who is also skilled at truck driving and freight train conducting. He/she will bring you the "goods" via trains, planes and automobiles.
If we go back in time, Charles H. Dow, co-founder of Dow Jones and Company, observed the patterns of what occurred in the markets during the Industrial Revolution, when the U.S. was a growing power. The Dow Theory originated from his observations. The Transportation Index is a key component. Dow's first stock averages were an index of industrial (manufacturing) companies and rail companies. To Dow, a Bull market in industrials could not occur unless the railway average rallied as well, usually first.
We have come a long way since Dow's Theory on how goods and services move. However, the notion of how much and how fast goods move throughout the country remains a critical measurement of the U.S. economy.
Biotechnology (IBB) made the cut for good reasons. As the anointed "Big Brother" IBB is a great way to assess if, how and where money flows into the market.
Big Brother has many functions in the United States. He represents the pharmaceutical companies because of the power they have over us as consumers. Our current health and future well-being rely on Big Pharma. Big Brother wields power in Washington D.C. as well. All the IBB holdings appear in NASDAQ. Leading medical research requires speculative funds, and if speculative funds are coming into the market, that helps rounds out the Family.
IBB serves as a lead indicator of how much speculative money is flowing into the overall market. The more optimistic investors feel in general, the more they are willing to speculate in Biotechnology. The more they speculate, the better the outcome. If Big Brother is happy, that happiness becomes contagious. We typically see that spread to the rest of the Modern Family.
Finally, there's the precocious youngest sibling, Sister Semiconductors (SMH). The U.S. Semiconductor industry has been a major innovator among all U.S. industries.
The Semiconductor Industry is the newest industry among the Modern Family. Economists estimate that all productivity growth during the current decade will be IT (Information Technology) based by both using and producing IT industries. The basis of the very growth of humanity is IT. At its core is Semiconductors.
Per the analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. semiconductor industry now employs almost 250,000 workers directly and supports more than 1 million additional jobs throughout the broader U.S. economy. These supported jobs do not even include the millions of downstream electronics jobs in the U.S. that semiconductors enable.
Sister Semiconductors sits at her computer pondering ways to improve all aspects of human life. Her "pet" robot, named Chip, reminds us that automation, artificial intelligence and big data are now a part of our everyday existence.
