The Market Top Checklist: 7 Red Flags of a Major Market Peak
Dave Keller, CMT
Below is the replay. If you want to know what I think you should do with it, keep reading.
You went through the webcast. You learned the checklist. But that's only part of the job. The real work starts when the market tests whether you'll actually follow it.
Seven signals, clearly laid out. But a checklist only helps if you're actually looking at it when the market starts misbehaving.
I think you already know the moment I'm talking about. The chart says one thing. Your gut says another. Somewhere in that gap, a good signal gets ignored. Or second-guessed right when it mattered most.
That's not a knowledge problem. You have the knowledge. It's a discipline problem.
Discipline gets a lot easier when you're not the only one checking your thinking. Whether you're managing your own portfolio or someone else's confidence in the decisions you make for them, the same gap shows up. Knowing what to do, and actually doing it when it counts.
Here's what's in your corner from here.
An Investor Community, Plus Direct Access to Me
Post a chart, ask a question, hear back from me. Sometimes with a custom video breaking down exactly what I'd watch for in your situation.
This isn't a comment section. It's a working group of investors who actually get it, looking at the same signals you are, asking the same questions, and pressure testing decisions together before they become expensive mistakes.
The Monthly Chart Review
Once a month, I walk through the charts and trends that actually matter, using my own trend following model. The same structural lens behind today's checklist. The deep, zoomed out look most people never make time for on their own.
The Weekly Flight Plan
My read on the week ahead, every week, so a shift in conditions never sneaks up on you between sessions.
Flight School and the Full Course Library
The behavioral and technical framework underneath everything else, built so the process becomes second nature instead of something you have to relearn under pressure.
All of that is built around one idea. Turning what you know into what you actually do, especially when the market makes that harder.
Here's what you probably already know. You already know what to look for. You don't need more signals.
Here's the part that usually gets missed. Knowing isn't usually what breaks down. Acting on it, consistently, without a second set of eyes, is.
And here's a real concern worth addressing. You're already busy. This isn't designed to add more to your plate. The Weekly Flight Plan and Monthly Chart Review do the work of staying on top of the market for you, so you show up when you want to, not on someone else's schedule.
Maybe you've tried something like this before and it didn't stick. That happens when it's a course you buy once and forget. This isn't that. It's a weekly process, plus a community and direct access to me, built so it doesn't fade after a few weeks the way most things like this do.
One last thing worth knowing. One signal you actually act on instead of second guessing, one mistake you avoid because someone else caught it first, that's the kind of return that compounds. This is built to make that happen consistently, not just once.
If this resonates with you, here's what the investment looks like.

You just watched today's checklist. You know what you're getting if you join, a community of hundreds of investors working through the same signals you are, the Monthly Chart Review, the Weekly Flight Plan, Flight School and the full course library, and me right there alongside you. The only real question left is timing.
You're thinking about this now because you just watched it. That's the moment. Most people close this tab and tell themselves they'll come back to it later. The ones who actually improve their process don't wait.
I look forward to seeing you inside the community.
RR#6,
Dave
