Institutional sentiment, DeMark exhaustion signals and cross-asset positioning — written before the open by someone who ran a desk for a decade, not assembled from Wall Street consensus.
Choose your membershipThe problem is not a shortage of information. It is that almost none of it tells you where positioning is crowded, where sentiment is stretched, and where the risk/reward has quietly flipped.
Not a firehose. A rhythm you can build a morning around.
Overnight action and what it means for the open. Short enough to read with coffee.
Once the open has settled — trade ideas and DeMark screens.
All macro markets, weighted to US, European and Asian equities.
The catalysts and the focus for the week you are walking into.
"I was fortunate to have Tom as my trader for nearly 10 years. His ability to follow markets and note divergences and extremes across several asset classes was of tremendous value."
No lock-in and no long-term contract. Cancel from your account and access runs to the end of the period you have paid for.
No. If you are looking for 0DTE options alerts or five-minute scalps, this is not it. The work is portfolio-level — allocators, professional traders, RIAs and serious long-term investors who need to understand the primary structural trends.
First Call is about four minutes. The Daily Note is longer, ten to fifteen. Most members read First Call every day and the others when the market is doing something that matters to them.
No. The knowledge base has a guided path that takes about forty minutes and covers Sequential, Combo and how to read the screens. Plenty of members join knowing nothing about it.
Any time, from your account page, in one click. Access continues to the end of the period you have already paid for and nothing charges after that.
Private Investors is the daily rhythm — four notes, trade ideas, sentiment and DeMark. The Big Picture is the monthly macro layer that sits above it: where markets are fragile, where positioning is crowded, and what the intermediate-term roadmap looks like. Many members take both.
Tom Thornton, every trading day. Not a team, not a content operation. He spent ten years as a trader at Level Global Investors before starting this.
