The data narrows the field. Your judgment makes the decision.
Follow a trade inside TTI. Learn the decisions behind it.
XOM in energy. INTC in semiconductors. Both traded inside TTI this year—2026. Start with a member’s XOM position snapshot, then explore what it means to follow a trade from entry to review.
2026TRADES WE TOOK THIS YEAR.XOM ENERGYINTC SEMICONDUCTORS
2026 TRADE SPOTLIGHT / ENERGY
XOM.Exxon Mobil Traded inside TTI this year
A breakout was just the beginning.
We traded XOM in 2026. Hamilton’s published recap starts with the breakout and retest. A member’s brokerage snapshot adds another view: the gains displayed on their open XOM positions.
One member, two accounts—not three separate member outcomes. These are selected open-position gains, not TTI’s complete trade return or a typical result. The source view includes every XOM row shown, including the losing positions. The screenshot does not show its capture date.
01
01 / BEFORE THE ENTRY
The setup gets our attention.
Not just a familiar ticker. An opportunity with a reason to be on the radar.
WHAT MEMBERS RECEIVE
The research and chart behind the idea: what deserves attention and what needs to happen before an entry.
WHAT YOU CAN LEARN
How to connect stock leadership to a setup—and why an interesting stock is not automatically a buy.
02
02 / THE ENTRY ALERT
The alert gives you the plan.
See the trade, the conditions, and the risk before deciding whether to participate.
WHAT MEMBERS RECEIVE
The exact instrument, published entry instructions, and original risk or invalidation guidance contained in the alert.
WHAT YOU CAN LEARN
How the entry fits the setup, what would invalidate the idea, and how that affects your own decision.
03
03 / WHILE THE TRADE IS OPEN
You’re not left to figure it out alone.
A position is open. Price moves. The next decision matters just as much as the first.
WHAT MEMBERS RECEIVE
The team’s updates as the trade develops: what has changed, what still matters, and whether the plan needs to change.
WHAT YOU CAN LEARN
How to distinguish movement you planned to sit through from evidence that calls for action.
04
04 / MANAGING THE WINNER
Take profits. Give the rest a chance.
By January 24, we were already discussing what came after the entry: taking profits while continuing to follow the energy trend.
WHAT THIS UPDATE SHOWS
The January 24 public update describes a position already reduced into strength, with exposure still in place—not simply a bullish stock call.
WHAT YOU CAN LEARN
Taking some profits does not have to mean abandoning the trend. Understand both decisions: what to take off and why to keep the remainder.
05
05 / THE EXIT AND THE LESSON
Close the trade. Keep the lesson.
The final result matters. So does understanding the decisions that produced it.
WHAT MEMBERS RECEIVE
The closing update, the supported outcome, and a review of what worked and what can be learned.
WHAT YOU CAN LEARN
Why the position ended, how partial sales affect the total return, and what carries into the next trade.
INTC.IntelSEMICONDUCTORS / 2026
ALSO TRADED THIS YEAR
Different sector. Same year.
On April 7, 2026, Hamilton publicly disclosed his Intel long thesis. On May 8, he announced closing a majority of the trade. See the public reasoning alongside a member’s INTC results.

Position gain displayed in the screenshot
Two contracts. One source.
One member’s screenshot, two option contracts. Displayed gains—not a whole-trade or account return. The image does not show a capture date or whether the gains were realized; these figures are not assigned to the May 8 update. Selected results, not a typical outcome.
THE PUBLIC RECORD
The thesis. The decision to take profits.
↗ ORIGINAL POSTS ON X
PUBLIC LONG DISCLOSURE
The strength. The thesis. “I’m long.”
Hamilton’s thesis highlighted Intel’s relative strength against SPY, XLK, and SMH, its positive absolute performance, and his flow-based accumulation reading.
“Relative strength shows you what you should own. Absolute strength shows you when to own it. This has both.”
A view on the stock and a decision about an options position are not the same thing.
These posts document the public long disclosure and the announced majority exit—not exact execution prices, the complete options history, or a final exit of every contract.
The alerts give you something to follow. The reasoning gives you something to learn.

THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE EXAMPLE
Trade alerts to follow. Trading decisions to learn from.
Join TTI for trade alerts, ongoing research, the Trade Desk, and live coaching. Follow the ideas while building your understanding of the decisions behind them.
Selected examples are not a complete track record or a promise of results. Trading, including options, involves risk of loss. You remain responsible for your decisions.
Start with Free TTI. Go deeper with TTI Lite’s paid newsletter and monthly Substack webinar. TTI Membership includes everything in Lite—plus member trade alerts, the Trade Desk, and three live coaching sessions each week.
THREE WAYS TO FOLLOW TTI
Choose billing
Compare Free TTI, TTI Lite, and TTI Membership from The Trading Initiative: prices, newsletter research, a monthly Substack webinar, trade alerts, the Trade Desk, weekly coaching, and community access. TTI Membership includes everything in TTI Lite.
Get the experience behind the examples. Everything in TTI Lite, plus the alerts, updates, tools, and coaching to learn through the trade.
TTI Lite is included in TTI Membership. Already subscribed on Substack? Ask us to coordinate your upgrade and confirm any applicable annual Membership credit.
A scanner match is a research starting point—not a buy signal. Research and education, not account management or a promise of returns.
For people who are tired of watching the right stocks move without them—or getting into a winner and not knowing what to do next.
Maybe you’re chasing too many ideas, selling too early, holding too long, or second-guessing every decision. TTI Membership brings the research, trade alerts, management updates, and coaching together so you can follow a process instead of another hot tip—and learn to make your own decisions.
What if I’m still learning to trade?+
You don’t have to arrive with everything figured out. You do have to be willing to learn. Use the education, follow the explanations behind alerts, and bring your questions to coaching. You can study a trade before deciding whether to take it. Already have experience? Use the same resources to examine where your process breaks down—not start from scratch.
THE EXPERIENCE
Do I get actual trade alerts, or just lessons?+
Both. You get member trade alerts to evaluate and follow, plus the reasoning and education to build your own judgment. See how Hamilton and the TTI team approach entries, risk, profit-taking, and exits. The goal isn’t to keep you waiting for the next ticker. It’s to help you understand the trade and make increasingly informed decisions yourself.
Am I on my own after the entry alert?+
No. Membership includes trade-management updates—not just the initial idea. Follow the team’s explanations as a trade develops, use Desk Notes for context, and bring questions to coaching and the community. You are still responsible for your own orders and risk, but you have the published decisions to study rather than only an entry price and a profit screenshot.
Do I have to watch the market all day?+
Not everyone can stare at a screen all day. The Trade Desk helps focus your research, and coaching replays let you revisit lessons on your schedule. Following an active trade still requires attention to updates and your own orders. Choose the ideas you have time to manage; Membership is guidance and education, not a hands-off trading service.
What makes Membership different from Free TTI or TTI Lite?+
Free TTI helps you get to know our approach. TTI Lite adds paid research, the archive, and one monthly market webinar on Substack for $10/month or $99/year.
TTI Membership includes all of Lite and brings you into the ongoing trade experience: member alerts, management updates, the interactive Trade Desk, Desk Notes, three weekly coaching sessions, education, and the private community. Choose the level of help you want—not just how much you want to read.
Will I have to pay extra for TTI Lite or the Trade Desk?+
No. TTI Membership includes everything in TTI Lite and the full Trade Desk. Your monthly Substack webinar is included alongside—not instead of—three weekly Membership coaching sessions and their replays. You’re joining one Membership, not buying a scanner and then discovering you need separate purchases for the research and coaching.
Can I try the research before I join?+
Yes. Subscribe to Free TTI, read the public research, and explore the free Leadership Board before deciding. Get a feel for how we find strength and explain our decisions. The board identifies research candidates, not automatic buys; Membership adds the alerts, trade-management updates, tools, and coaching around the trade.
RESULTS & RESPONSIBILITY
Should I expect the gains shown in the XOM and INTC examples?+
No. The XOM and INTC case studies are selected winning examples, not typical results or a forecast for your account. Their value is that you can inspect the public explanations and member screenshots—not simply take our word for a large number.
Your entries, sizing, exits, and outcome may differ, and trades can lose money. Join for the research, guidance, and skills you want to develop—not an expectation of repeating a screenshot.
Do you place trades or manage my account?+
No. Your money stays in your account, and you choose and place your own trades. TTI provides research, trade alerts, tools, and coaching—not account management or individualized investment advice. The aim is to help you become more capable of making your own decisions, not to take control of them for you.
PRICE & YOUR CONTROL
I’m already in TTI Lite. How do I upgrade?+
Membership includes Lite, so let’s coordinate your existing subscription. Before purchasing Membership, contact the TTI team to arrange your Substack access and check any applicable annual Membership credit. Joining Membership does not automatically cancel or refund a separately billed Lite subscription.
What does TTI Membership cost?+
TTI Membership is $349/month or $2,997 billed annually. Both include the same full trading experience, including TTI Lite. Annual billing works out to $249.75 per month and saves $1,191 compared with 12 monthly payments; the full $2,997 is paid upfront, not in monthly installments.
Yes. TTI Membership comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee. If you don’t like the service for any reason, cancel within the first 7 days of purchase and receive a full refund.
The guarantee applies to both monthly and annual TTI Membership purchases. Need help with a cancellation or refund? Contact the TTI team.
Can I cancel whenever I want?+
Yes. You can cancel TTI Membership whenever you want to stop your next renewal. During the first 7 days of purchase, cancel for any reason and receive a full refund under our 7-day money-back guarantee.
After those first 7 days, you can still cancel to stop future renewals. Need help with your subscription? Contact the TTI team.
