Screening for Strength in a Noisy Market

Markets are breaking rhythm, and the usual setups just aren’t holding. At 2PM ET today, Don Kaufman will walk through how he’s navigating this volatility with short-term trades that are actually working.

Good afternoon:

We fired up the scanner this morning—looking for signs of life in a market that feels increasingly chaotic.

It’s not just about finding what’s “working.” It’s about finding what’s quietly attracting capital: quality, momentum, and resilience.

I pulled up Uncle Stock’s weighted F-score—my favorite tool for cutting through the noise. It gives you a fast read on which companies are holding up under pressure. When volatility kicks up, these are the kinds of names that tend to get bought first.

We also revisited the move in gold. It’s holding above the 20-day. Small signal, maybe—but paired with capital rotating into real assets and value, it adds weight to the idea that the market is getting more defensive.

If you missed the session—or just want to rewatch the clip—you’ll find it below.

One thing we didn’t get into this morning—but that’s worth your time—is how to actually trade inside this kind of market structure. When trends are soft, correlations are breaking down, and the only consistent feature is volatility... execution matters.

This afternoon at 2PM ET, Don Kaufman is hosting a live session on how he trades short-duration windows in environments like this—using a strategy that’s quietly posting a 92.8% win rate with average returns over 46% per trade in 2025, even as the S&P and Nasdaq remain deep in the red.

It’s not luck—it’s structure. Defined-risk trades, precise timing, and a framework for navigating chaos while others sit on the sidelines.

It’s all live at 2 pm ET. Click here to get your spot in the room.

Can’t wait to see you there!

Stay positive,
