But you&rsquo;re new to our network. And I want to give folks who are tuning in for the first time a bit of background on your career. How did you get your start as a trader?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jonathan Rose:<\/strong> I started in the trading &ldquo;pits&rdquo; of Chicago. I was one of those guys waving my hands around on the exchange floor. This was at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the late 1990s. It&rsquo;s where a lot of agricultural products are traded.<\/p>\n<p>I went on to become a partner and the Director of Trading at a proprietary trading firm. After my partners and I sold that firm to a hedge fund, I became a market maker at the world&rsquo;s biggest options exchange, the Chicago Board Options Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>These days, I dedicate my time to helping regular folks become master traders at my education company, Masters in Trading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris:<\/strong> At the start of March, you recommended an interesting trade. You bet on bond prices falling by &ldquo;shorting&rdquo; the 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT). This was a bet on higher interest rates, as rising rates cause bond prices to fall.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the consensus view on Wall Street was that interest rates would <em>fall<\/em> as the Fed made cuts. Why did you see Treasury bond prices falling when most folks had the opposite opinion? What did you see that other people were missing?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jonathan:<\/strong> This may surprise you. But it had nothing to do with the Fed&hellip; or my analysis of interest rates&hellip; or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has opinions &ndash; including me. That&rsquo;s fine. But opinions mean absolutely nothing to me as a trader. The only reason I placed that TLT trade is that there was an obnoxious amount of bearish activity showing up in the data I track.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s not an opinion about the market. That&rsquo;s cold, hard market data. And it means there are a ton of people out there who are bearish.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest lesson I&rsquo;ve learned over my career is to not try to outsmart the market. Who cares what one person thinks when the market is clearly expressing itself like that?<\/p>\n<p>This goes against what a lot of folks believe about traders. They think traders are these super smart people who can somehow see into the future. But that&rsquo;s not how most professional traders make money.<\/p>\n<p>You want to put the trade on rails and eliminate unreliable humans from the equation.<\/p>\n<p>That includes me.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m human. That means I&rsquo;m prone to believing all kinds of nonsense. Sure, I think I&rsquo;m smart. But I also have the rare privilege of knowing I&rsquo;m sometimes an idiot and prone to making mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;d rather react to what&rsquo;s <em>actually<\/em> going on in the market than reach for an opinion about what the market <em>should<\/em> be doing. I just don&rsquo;t do that. There&rsquo;s too much riding on the outcome. Trading for your livelihood makes you humble about your opinions.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage your readers to trade this way, too. It removes a dangerously weak part of the trading process &ndash; the emotional human. Following a proven system fixes this weak link.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that system must put the odds in your favor. It&rsquo;s the Las Vegas approach to dealing cards. They&rsquo;re going to play blackjack for as long as you want to play. And they&#8217;re going to win. They don&rsquo;t care if they lose money along the way. They have a system where the odds are in their favor. If they stick with it, they know they&rsquo;ll make money.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve been a professional trader for more than 25 years. I&rsquo;ve seen all sorts of strategies. And I&rsquo;ve made plenty of mistakes. What I&rsquo;ve learned is you want to find something repeatable.<\/p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t get me wrong. You can have great opinions. But opinions aren&rsquo;t systematic. They&rsquo;re subjective. And that&rsquo;s not good enough as a trader.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve found that, all too often, people let financial myths and fairy tales guide investment decisions. I prefer to let the proof do the guiding. And to put the odds on my side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris:<\/strong> What system do you use as a trader?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jonathan<\/strong>: There&rsquo;s one strategy that stands head and shoulders above the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Almost every professional market maker I&rsquo;ve ever met uses it. And it has an uncanny ability to give you advanced notice of major market moves &ndash; days before they hit.\u202f<\/p>\n<p>In fact, over the last three years, 90.3% of the calls I&rsquo;ve made using this strategy have gone up.<\/p>\n<p>And not just by a little&hellip;<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve used it to make gains as high as 279% in a single day&hellip; 650% in three days&hellip; 1,046% in 27 days&hellip; 1,900% in four days&hellip; and 5,327% in 13 days.<\/p>\n<p>Even better, anyone can use this indicator to make outsized gains.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, I ran a live six-week experiment to prove it. I showed a group of regular folks how to use this strategy. And I gave them the chance to close seven straight winning trades for an <em>average<\/em> gain of 125%.<\/p>\n<p>Folks who put $2,500 into each trade could have walked away with more than $21,000 in profits.<\/p>\n<p><!--GREY BOX START--><\/p>\n<div class=\"card bg-light mb-4\">\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Free Trading Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you checked out Jeff&#8217;s free trading resources on his website?
