Around April 2025, when the Tariffs hit everyone's stock portfolio negatively, including mine... Hello, my name is Gregory Markel. I've been a Warner Bros. recording artist, an SEO pioneer, a 20yr digital marketing/comm and development agency owner (Including fun projects like Lord of the Rings, Led Zeppelin, and Tom Cruise ;), an enterprise software architect, a TV & film/documentary producer, A Global Peace Song award-winner, an AI music tech provisional patent holder, PR advisor on the 2017 NYTimes UAP story that broke the Internet, an indie recording artist with over 22,000,000 streams, and proudly, the man who said "no" to Jeffrey Epstein's money. (Google it. Ref: The Verge piece.) My Grokipedia page is here (And bonus, a lot of it is correct!;): grokipedia.com/page/gregory_… Around April 2025, when the Tariffs hit everyone's stock portfolio negatively, including mine, I knew enough about the stock market after managing a company defined benefits plan w/equities for 10+ years, to know that there was always a stock going up somewhere, you just had to find it. I tried all the available online tools you're probably familiar with that I could find and just couldn't find the stock winner that I was looking for. So, to find momentum stocks, I decided to build my own. (It's true. "Necessity IS the mother of invention.") Approximately 35 minutes later, after connecting a stock data API, I had a very basic and very rough momentum stock finder, and I found $SEZL, which went on to massive growth. (See the attached image) From that experience, I decided to continue researching and building my own personal momentum stock finding, tracking, and management app, and 18 months later, it is the primary way I find, track, and manage the buying and selling of momentum stocks. I've set up this profile to begin talking about my experience and the MomentumTracker Pro app itself as I move closer and closer to being able to share it with the world. Here on FinX, I'll be sharing info, screenshots, videos, and stats from the app, it's proprietary framework AI, its THREE traders, (Human trader, (yours truly), "AI Trader," (An Autonomous AI), and "Robotrader," (A mostly rules-based trader). I'll also share timely market MomentumTracker Pro perspective, commentary, strategies, and some awesome momentum stock-related resources and people. When will MomentumTracker Pro go to market? I'm not sure yet, I'm hoping some time in 2027, but will keep you updated. One last note: Importantly, FYI, both I, and my agentic team will be posting here. So, I want you to know that when it's me, I'll sign off "-Gregory." That will mean I crafted and/or wrote the post. Thanks for reading, now, let's find some momentum stocks! -Gregory IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not financial advice. It's very easy to lose money in the stock market.

Impressive! And shout out to @Muninn for his valuable shares and platform!
A lot of talk about @martinlukkt insanly low winrate.. 20%.. What makes that number even crazier is that his long win-rate is only 17%!!

@Grok how does Martin Luk wind up profitable trading stocks with only at 19% win rate? What are the other factors responsible for such?

MomentumTracker Pro has numerous stock recommendation modules a trader can use either quickly, via an "MT Says" multi-module aggregate scoring recommendation to decide buy/pass and/or, by digging in detail into each recommendation module. One of those buy/pass/sell recommendation modules is "AI Analyst Says." "AI Analyst Says" is a proprietary framework AI that provides a buy/sell/hold reccomendation in comprehensive detail. Tuned for win rate and profit factor optimization for roughly 14 months, it continues to improve. Currently, "AI Analyst Says" has an average Win Rate and Profit Factor over 216 trades of 65.7% and 4.5x respectively. Now, that win rate may seem high compared to famous momentum traders like Quallamaggie (25%) and Martin Luk (19%), but win rate in fact, is overvalued by those unaware, that for a momentum trader, cutting losses quickly and a healthy 1 big win to multiple losses ratio, makes up for the lower win rate. -Gregory IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: For educational purposes only.

Here's the post-market recap and look-ahead perspective from MomentumTracker Pro's proprietary AI framework, covering stocks, finance, geopolitics and news and more. I hope it's helpful. -Gregory RECAP — LOOK-AHEAD TO MONDAY Friday's session closed mixed with a sharp internal split: the Nasdaq 100 rebounded +1.40% as traders bought the dip in chipmakers (NVDA, AMD) and AI names following Thursday's 'violent' selloff — the worst Nasdaq session in 18 months — while the Dow slipped -0.40% on rotation out of defensives and industrials, creating a notable 1.80pp DIA/QQQ divergence that signals a tech-led bounce rather than broad-based accumulation. Monday's open will hinge on whether the AI/semiconductor rebound has legs or fades, with OpenAI's reaffirmed data-center capex commitment and lingering concerns over data-center debt financing (flagged by MarketWatch) setting the tone alongside a dollar pushing higher (+0.73%) and VIX still elevated at 25.6 despite today's -9% cooling. Technology and semiconductors led Friday's bounce (QQQ +1.40%, chip stocks rebounding) while energy lagged on softer oil and Dow-heavy industrials/healthcare dragged; small-caps (IWM +0.99%) joined the risk-on move, but the DIA-QQQ spread warns that leadership is narrow and concentrated in AI beta rather than cyclical breadth. Treat the Nasdaq bounce with skepticism until breadth confirms — a 1.80pp divergence between DIA and QQQ after an 18-month-worst selloff often marks a reflex rally, not a trend reversal. Watch Monday's open for whether semis (NVDA, AMD) can hold Friday's gains on the first hour's volume; a VIX back under 22 would validate the bounce, while a re-expansion above 27 with QQQ fading would signal the selloff isn't finished. Keep position sizes tight and respect the elevated-volatility regime. Semiconductor follow-through: NVDA and AMD price action Monday open after Friday's rebound from the 'violent' selloff · Veterans Day Wednesday Nov 11 — equity markets open, bond markets closed, which can distort cross-asset signals and thin liquidity · Fed-speak and any CPI/PPI data releases next week that could reignite rate-path volatility with VIX still at 25.6.

I defer to the GOAT. -Gregory
The VIX has hit 28.5 -- our bear market warning level. But this is also an area where many intermediate-term corrections have historically found a bottom. The key now is how the market responds. If stocks can’t rally convincingly from here and produce a legitimate follow-through day, expect more volatility. Even in the event of a follow-through action, before we could justify aggressive exposure, we would need to see a lack of distribution post follow-through AND stocks setting up in constructive bases offering buyable pivot points. Bottom line: this level of volatility gets my attention --and my respect. minervini.com

What is a “bull trap” — and does today's tech relief rally fit? A bull trap is a failed breakout: 1. Price clears resistance or a key level. 2. Buyers come back in. 3. The breakout fails, price falls back below that level, and breakout buyers get trapped. A bounce alone is not a bull trap. You need the failure. Why today's rally carries that risk: $COMPQ was +1.9% early after Thursday's −5.52% rout, but the Dow was red and participation was split. A hot October jobs report — 165K jobs versus 65K expected — also puts rate pressure back in play. What would make the app's reading more constructive: • Reclaim broken levels • Hold them into the close • Follow-through with broader participation What would confirm the trap: • A failed reclaim • A weak close back below resistance • Another break lower The app's read: bull-trap risk, not a confirmed bull trap. $NVDA and semis can bounce sharply without the prior trend being repaired.

Here's the LIVE market brief perspective from MomentumTracker Pro's proprietary AI framework, covering stocks, finance, geopolitics and news and more. I hope it's helpful. -Gregory LIVE MARKET BRIEF Friday's tape is sharply divided: $QQQ is rebounding +1.41% as AI/mega-cap tech buyers step in after what CNBC called the Nasdaq's 'worst rout in 19 months,' while DIA is down -0.86% and $IWM is off -0.18% — a 2.26-point spread between Nasdaq and the Dow that screams narrow, tech-led bounce rather than broad risk-on. The catalyst mix is a hotter-than-expected October jobs report (+165K, unemployment 4.1%) that pushed the 10-year yield higher and pressured rate-sensitive cyclicals, even as VIX cools -4.6% to 26.88 off yesterday's spike. Gold -1.5% and the dollar +0.71% confirm a 'higher-for-longer' rates read is driving today's rotation back into secular tech winners. Tech/AI mega-caps are leading the bounce (lifting QQQ), while Dow cyclicals, industrials, and rate-sensitive names lag on the yield pop; small caps (IWM) can't participate, and the 24/7 Wall St note highlights healthcare and staples quietly holding the line — classic defensive-plus-mega-cap-tech barbell with the middle of the market getting sold. Respect the divergence — a +1.4% QQQ day with DIA red and VIX still at 26.9 is not an all-clear; it's a reflex bounce in the most beaten-down names. If you're chasing today's tech strength, keep stops tight into the close since weekend headline risk plus next week's CPI print can easily reverse a one-day rebound. Avoid broad index longs until breadth confirms via IWM and DIA turning green together. Whether QQQ holds its intraday gains into the close or fades as yields keep climbing · 10-year Treasury yield reaction and any Fed-speak walking back rate-cut expectations after the hot jobs print · VIX behavior — a close back under 25 would confirm the 'fear gauge buy signal' thesis; a reversal above 28 flags more downside.

Stated simply, I think today is at best a QQQ bounce off the unusual low which may or may not make it to noon and/or Monday. Why? It's not sector-wide. It's a tech relief ralley. Market indicators are largely in challenging territory, and politicians can utter something in this rice paper condition that changes market direction at the drop of a hat, so it's doubtful to me that this will last through Monday. Hope I'm wrong. -Gregory Disclaimer: Not financial advice. It's very easy to lose money in the stock market. DYOR always.

Pre-market perspective from MomentumTracker Pro's proprietary AI framework, covering stocks, finance, geopolitics and news. I hope it's helpful. -Gregory PRE-MARKET BRIEF Friday opens as a split recovery tape after Thursday's tech-led rout. Nasdaq Composite closed −5.52% at 24,315 (steepest one-day drop in about 19 months and into correction territory), S&P 500 −4.36% at 7,353.73, Dow −3.44% at 51,523.06, and Russell 2000 −4.45%. Into the US premarket (Reuters snapshot ~6:24am ET), Nasdaq-100 futures were +1.41%, S&P 500 futures +0.29%, and Dow futures −0.91% (−471 points). VIX cooled to about 26.7 after Thursday's spike near 28. Chip names led the bounce: Nvidia roughly +4.5% premarket; AMD, Intel, Broadcom, and Micron were indicated +4.6% to +8.2%. Neocloud and data-center related names also recovered, with IREN among the louder gaps. Single-stock outliers: Airbnb surged after raising its 2026 revenue outlook; Atlassian dropped hard after earnings; DraftKings was pressured after cutting its outlook. Background risks: Democrats' midterm sweep has markets pricing slower AI data-center buildout and tougher AI regulation, which helped drive Thursday's multi-trillion-dollar drawdown. Asia followed through overnight (Nikkei and Kospi each roughly −6%). Europe opened soft. Treasuries are little changed ahead of payrolls (10-year near 4.83%, 2-year near 4.47% in early CNBC prints). Oil reversed earlier gains: WTI near the high-$80s and Brent in the mid-$90s as traders weigh Middle East / Iran escalation risk versus diplomacy. CME FedWatch still shows a majority chance of a December hike (check live odds). The app's sector read: semis and AI-infrastructure names are attempting a bounce after Thursday's washout, while the Dow lagging futures keep value/cyclical leadership from a clean handoff. Energy remains in a volatile weekly downtrend even after Thursday's oil spike. Mega-cap growth is mixed rather than uniformly bid, so this still looks like a damaged AI-complex digesting policy and capex assumptions, not a broad risk-on reopen. The app's take on the open: a green Nasdaq futures open against red Dow futures after a −5%+ Nasdaq session is a recovery attempt, not a settled regime change. The first reaction to 8:30am ET payrolls can rewrite the tape quickly, so the open print may say less than the first hour of post-data price discovery. On deck: 8:30am ET October Employment Situation (consensus around +59k to +65k payrolls, unemployment ~4.2%, average hourly earnings ~+0.3% m/m). 10:00am ET University of Michigan preliminary November sentiment and inflation expectations. 1:00pm ET Baker Hughes rig count. Before the open earnings watchlist includes Moderna, Humana, Vistra, Charter, PPL, Franklin Resources, TeraWulf, Oklo, Enbridge, Under Armour, and Bloomin' Brands (confirm each ticker's exact release window). $DIA $QQQ $SPY IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: For educational purposes only.

The aftermath? NEAR-HISTORIC TECH PANIC. Not a historic broad crash. 🔴 Thursday's close: • $SPX −4.36% — worst day since Apr 4, 2025 • Nasdaq Composite −5.52% — in correction, ~12% below its Oct record • $NDX −6.36% — worst day since 2020 • SOX −12.3% — worst day since Mar 16, 2020 • Dow −3.44% (−1,833 pts) — worst since Apr 4, 2025 • VIX +69.7% to 28.18 Magnificent Seven market cap: $1T+ erased. $NVDA alone: $440B+. Breadth was ugly: all 11 S&P sectors red, nearly 6 NYSE decliners per advancer and nearly 5 on Nasdaq. The counterpoint: the S&P 500 is still only ~6% below its record. Severe de-risking, yes. A historic broad-market crash, not yet. The app's read: crowded AI and semiconductor leadership is unwinding. Momentum stays impaired until tech and semis stabilize.

CODE RED: EVERY SECTOR DOWN 🔴 0 of 11 sectors green this afternoon. Earlier, defensives and Energy were holding up. Now they're red too. $XLK -7.26% is the epicenter $XLP -0.57% is falling least Spread: ~669 bps in one session The app's read: this isn't a rotation, it's de-risking. No sector is attracting new money. Staples and Utilities are just losing less while crowded AI, semi and high-beta names unwind. No new leadership shows up until $XLK stabilizes. STILL, there are green stocks, if you know how to find them. App output, intraday data. Not financial advice. -Gregory

What do the sectors look like on a sell-off like today? Here's MomentumTracker Pro's live sector map view. -Gregory Only 4 of 11 sectors are green, and look which ones: Staples +1.33%, Energy +0.95%, Utilities +0.31%, Healthcare +0.16%. Tech is the epicenter at −7.13%, with Discretionary −4.13% close behind. That's a ~846 bps spread between Staples and Tech in a single session. The app reads it as a textbook defensive rotation: money leaving crowded AI and semiconductor names for safety. Add Barkin's rate-hike talk this morning and you get the pressure on long-duration growth. The question for momentum traders is whether this is a one-day flush or a regime shift. The app's read is to respect it until XLK stabilizes. $XLK $XLP $QQQ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: For educational purposes only. Not financial advice. It's very easy to lose money in the stock market.

BREAKING NEWS: The Fed isn't done hiking, and Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin just said it out loud. -Gregory "Unemployment's near record lows, and inflation is too high. That means the path is pretty straightforward. The question, of course, is pace." He added that gradual makes sense given uncertainty. Why momentum traders should care: • He called inflation "the most important risk right now" and named AI demand as one source of price pressure. • He sees policy near neutral, maybe even "a little bit accommodative." That's hawk talk. • Markets now price a better than 80% chance of a December hike (CME FedWatch), then another in 2027. • Barkin becomes an FOMC voter in 2027. Put that next to today's tape: Dow green, Nasdaq red, semis lagging. Rising-rate talk tends to weigh hardest on long-duration growth names, which is exactly where leadership is wobbling. The app's read is still rotation, not a broad risk-off. Friday's jobs report is the next test. $SPY $QQQ $TLT Not financial advice. For educational purposes only. DYOR.

Here's the pre-market perspective from MomentumTracker Pro's proprietary AI framework, covering stocks, finance, geopolitics and news and more. It's a big news day, I hope it's helpful. -Gregory Thursday opens with a sharp internal split: Dow futures are up more than 300 points extending Wednesday's postelection rally, while $QQQ is indicated -0.79% versus $DIA +0.72% — a 1.51pp divergence driven by premarket weakness in Qualcomm and Snap and broader mega-cap tech digestion after the Democratic midterm sweep. Gold +1.21%, oil +1.07%, and VIX ticking up to 16.8 suggest the reflation/rotation trade is alive but tech leadership is cracking, so momentum traders should treat Thursday as a rotation tape, not a broad risk-on chase. Cyclicals, industrials, and value-leaning Dow names are gapping higher on the postelection rotation while semis and communication services lag on Qualcomm/Snap weakness; Wendy's is bid after rejecting Trian's $1.4B takeover (a one-off repricing, not restaurant-sector strength), Unity is surging on earnings, and Peloton and Shake Shack are active premarket movers. With QQQ red and DIA green, chasing the opening Dow gap risks buying into a rotation that may mean-revert once tech-heavy SPX weight reasserts; favor fading extended gaps in laggard tech and buying pullbacks in cyclicals rather than market-on-open prints.

This sector scoreboard tells a bigger story than one rally. -Gregory Zoom out to 20 days and the leaders are Consumer Staples (+12.5%) and Healthcare (+12.4%), the classic defensives. Tech is the worst of the bunch at −12.4%. That isn't a typical risk-on tape. It's money rotating out of crowded AI leadership and into steadier earnings. Then the midterm rally hit, and the move broadened. Month to date, 9 of 11 sectors are green and 7 are beating the S&P 500's +1.5%. Discretionary (+6.0%), Comm Services (+5.1%) and Financials (+4.8%) are leading, and those are economy-sensitive groups, not hiding places. Two sectors sit out. Energy is down 9.3% as oil slides, and Tech is down 1.7% even with the indexes higher. The takeaway is that leadership has shifted. For much of the year, a strong market meant strong tech. Right now the S&P is rising without its biggest sector, and that kind of breadth is what momentum traders watch to see whether a rotation is just a pause or a real handoff. $SPY $XLK $XLE IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: For educational purposes only.
