In addition to my Substack newsletter, I also run a Stocktwits room where I post my current holdings, buys & sells, investment models, technical analysis and market commentary for both my Investment Portfolio (long term, strong fundamentals, 20-30 holdings) and my Trading Portfolio (short term, strong technicals, 0-10 holdings). The two options are $15/month for the monthly plan [click here] or $150/year for the annual plan [click here].
You can now signup for my new Substack called Jonah’s Trading Charts which is focused exclusively on the technicals — every day (usually pre-market) I’ll send out an email with my favorite trading charts/setups. You’ll also have access to my trading portfolio with current positions/sizes, entry/exit prices, profits/losses and much more. I’m also doing live charting and live trading 3-4 times per week.
