The market has been chopping sideways for months, and that changes everything about how you trade.

In this video, we break down how to approach a non-trending stock market, why market regime matters, and what to look for before putting money at risk. You’ll see why having the market, sector, and stock all moving together can make trading dramatically easier, plus how relative strength can help you spot what is actually working.

We also get into TradingView setups, SPY comparisons, options DTE, mean reversion, interest rates, bank profits, drawdowns, trading discipline, and why liquidity should never be ignored.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✅ How to trade when the market is moving sideways
✅ Why market, sector, and stock alignment matters
✅ How to compare a stock’s strength against SPY
✅ Why certain strategies work better in different market regimes
✅ How rising rates affect banks, loans, and spreads

If your strategy suddenly stops working, the answer may not be that the strategy is broken. The market itself may have changed.

Watch to the end, then check out the free OVTLYR trading course playlist and keep sharpening your process before your next trade.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcHow do you find the strongest stocks before everyone else? In this video, I break down the 5 steps I use to find leading stocks in the stock market, using Palantir (PLTR) as a real-world example. This process combines market trend analysis, sector strength, relative strength, stock screening, OVTLYR data, and disciplined entry timing.The first step is always the overall market. Before looking for individual stocks, I want to know whether the market is actually moving in a direction that supports new trades. The OVTLYR Trend Template uses the 10 EMA, 20 EMA, and 50 EMA to identify the current market trend. When the 10 EMA is above the 20 EMA and price is above the 50 EMA, the market is showing a mathematical bullish trend.Next, we follow the money into sectors. A strong stock inside a weak sector can have a much harder time continuing higher. That's why I compare sector ETFs against the S&P 500 to identify sector relative strength and find where the strongest areas of the market are developing.Once the right sector is identified, step three is finding the leading stocks inside that sector. This is where a stock screener becomes extremely useful. Instead of searching for stocks that have already fallen dramatically because they “look cheap,” we're looking for stocks that are already demonstrating strength and outperforming the broader market.Palantir is a great example. When the S&P 500 was moving sideways or lower, PLTR was showing significant relative strength. Its 10 EMA was above the 20 EMA, price was above the 50 EMA, and the stock was already moving in the direction we wanted to see. That's the type of market leader I'm looking for.But finding a strong stock isn't enough.Step four is using OVTLYR to make the process much easier. You can quickly see market trends, Fear & Greed, Momentum Alerts, Market Breadth, sector strength, and individual stock data. The screener can then help narrow thousands of stocks down to potential leaders with bullish trends and positive backtest results.The Outlier 9 brings the market, sector, and stock conditions together so you can see how much of the setup is actually working in your favor. Remember, roughly 40% of a stock's movement comes from the market, 30% from the sector, and 30% from the individual stock.Finally, step five is waiting for the right entry.Even if you find a stock like Palantir with strong relative strength and a bullish trend, that doesn't mean you should automatically buy it today. The market has to cooperate, the sector has to cooperate, the stock has to cooperate, and then you need the right entry.That's the difference between simply finding a stock and having a repeatable stock-picking process.✅ 5 steps to find the strongest stocks before they move✅ Palantir (PLTR) and real-world stock analysis✅ 10 EMA, 20 EMA, 50 EMA Trend Template✅ Sector strength, relative strength, and market leadership✅ OVTLYR, Momentum Alerts, Market Breadth, and stock screeningIf you've ever wondered how to find the best stocks before everyone else, this process gives you a framework to start with.

Most traders think the thing standing between them and better results is finding the right stock, the perfect indicator, or some secret trading strategy nobody else knows about.

But what if that’s not the problem?

What if the real difference between a beginner trader and a professional trader has almost nothing to do with predicting what the stock market will do next?

That’s where this lesson gets interesting.

Because professional trading isn’t about certainty. It’s about building a repeatable trading process that tells you exactly what to do BEFORE the pressure, fear, greed, and uncertainty show up.

And that changes everything.

In Charlie Class Lesson 2 of OVTLYR University, we dig into what it actually means to become a student of the market and why years of trading experience don’t automatically make someone a skilled trader.

You can trade for five years and still make the exact same mistakes.

You can watch trading videos every day, load your charts with indicators, jump from strategy to strategy, and still never develop a real edge.

The goal isn’t to become more experienced at making random decisions.

The goal is deliberate practice.

That means having a trading plan, executing it consistently, recording what happened, reviewing your decisions, finding weaknesses, making adjustments, and doing it again.

That’s how trading skill gets built.

Inside this lesson, you’ll discover:

✅ Why professional traders focus on process instead of obsessing over individual wins and losses

✅ How to build a trading plan around your personality instead of blindly copying somebody else’s strategy

✅ Why journaling your trades can expose patterns you’ll never notice by simply looking at your P&L

✅ How risk management, entries, exits, position sizing, and emotional control fit together

✅ Why constantly changing trading strategies can trap you in the dangerous middle between confidence and consistency

✅ How catalyst risk can destroy an otherwise perfectly executed trade

✅ Why successful traders study, execute, record, review, adjust, and repeat

There’s also a real-world example involving Viking Therapeutics and a brutal overnight move that shows exactly why the market will eventually expose gaps in your rules.

And that’s actually a good thing.

Because every unexpected situation gives you another opportunity to improve the system.

That’s the mindset shift.

Instead of asking:

“What stock should I buy?”

Start thinking:

“What does my trading plan tell me to do today?”

Instead of asking whether a trade was right or wrong based on whether it made money, ask whether you actually followed your process.

A profitable trade made by breaking your rules can still be a bad trade.

A losing trade executed exactly according to a proven system can still be a good trade.

That distinction is HUGE.

You’re never going to control what the stock market does after you enter.

You CAN control why you enter, where you exit, how much you risk, how large your position is, and whether you follow the rules you created before emotions took over.

That’s how you stop treating the market like a casino and start approaching trading like a professional skill.

And if you can improve that process just a little bit every time you trade, those improvements begin to compound.

Study.

Execute.

Record.

Review.

Adjust.

Repeat.

That’s the work.

If you’re serious about becoming a more disciplined trader, building a trading system, improving your trading psychology, and developing a repeatable process you can actually execute in the real stock market, this lesson is where that foundation starts.

This is not an easy market… but that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities.
Crude oil is above $105, the 10-year yield is pushing toward 5%, and SPY has once again moved into a bearish trend. The 10 EMA is below the 20 EMA and price is below the 50 EMA. That doesn't tell us how long the move will last or how far it will go, but it does tell us the current direction of the market.
And that's the challenge right now. This isn't a market where you simply buy a sector and let it run for months. Money is rotating, leadership is changing, and the strongest areas today may not be the strongest areas next week.
September has historically been one of the most difficult months for the market, and this year is continuing that pattern. The good news? Rotation creates opportunity if you know where to look.The new OVTLYR Sector Rotation Waterfall gives a visual representation of where money is flowing across the market. Instead of looking backward after a sector has already moved, you can see how rankings are changing over time and identify areas gaining strength.Technology led for a long period. Then leadership rotated into consumer discretionary, healthcare, energy, materials, and now back into energy. The goal is not to predict the future—it is to observe where money is moving and adjust as the market changes.Communication services is one area starting to stand out. The sector has moved into the middle of the rankings, market breadth is improving, and the chart is developing a potential bullish continuation pattern. Companies like Netflix, Google, and Meta are part of this group, giving the sector exposure to advertising, software, and artificial intelligence.But timing still matters.
The broader market remains difficult. Semiconductors have weakened, SMH is in a bearish trend, and many individual stocks are fighting against negative market and sector conditions. Remember: roughly 30% of a stock’s movement comes from the stock itself, while the sector and overall market influence the majority of the move.
Oil is another example. The commodity remains strong, but energy stocks and crude oil do not always move together. Oil is a unique asset class with different participants, contracts, and drivers. Technical levels matter, but geopolitical catalyst risk can overwhelm any chart.
That’s why I’m still avoiding energy. The opportunity may be there, but waking up to a geopolitical headline that changes the entire trade is not a risk I want in my portfolio.
✅ SPY bearish trend, yields, and the current market environment
✅ September seasonality and why volatility is increasing
✅ OVTLYR Sector Rotation Waterfall and tracking money flow
✅ Communication services, Meta, Google, Netflix, and sector strength
✅ Oil resistance, catalyst risk, and tactical trading decisionsIf you've been frustrated because the market feels like it gives you opportunities one day and takes them away the next… this one is worth watching.
These are the environments where having a plan matters more than ever.

Options trading can get confusing fast, especially when you start combining different strategies and trying to understand when each one actually makes sense. In this video, we break down covered calls, cash secured puts, protective puts, hedging, and the real trade-offs behind these popular options strategies.

The goal is not just to explain how these trades work, but to understand the situations where they can help and where they can hurt your portfolio.

In this video, we cover:

✅ How covered calls work and how selling calls can reduce your cost basis
✅ Why covered calls and cash secured puts are considered synthetic equivalents
✅ The hidden risk of selling options and why high win rates can be misleading
✅ How protective puts work like insurance for your stock positions
✅ Why hedging can protect you but also reduce your upside potential

Options trading is all about understanding risk, reward, probability, and having a plan before entering a trade. There is no perfect strategy, only strategies that fit specific market conditions and trading styles.

If you want to improve your options trading knowledge and understand the mechanics behind advanced strategies, this breakdown will help you think about trades differently.
