One Way to Trade Silver Using the TPS System
Silver has been on a tear over the last year.
It crushed most major benchmarks in 2025, ending up roughly 130-145% year-to-date.
It also hit record highs around $70 per ounce, more than doubling from where it started the year.
Compare that to the S&P 500, which saw a 16-18% gain in 2025 or the Nasdaq that also saw a 20% gain in 2025.
That’s a pretty wide margin.
And over the last few weeks, we’ve been showing you how to trade it at Monument Traders Alliance.
Karim Rahemtulla discussed how he called silver as a screaming opportunity 15 months ago.
Chris Johnson also wrote this in-depth piece describing why NOW is the time to act on the precious metal.
As far as my own trading goes, I’m not trading SLV as of right now.
But if I did trade it, here’s one example from back in May on how you could trade it without actually dealing with bars of silver. Because who’s got the space in their basement for that?
This watchlist idea came when my S.A.M. Scanner picked up on a rare “double squeeze” signal on ticker SLV.
If you don’t know what SLV is, it’s an ETF that tracks the price of silver.
It’s a popular way to trade the precious metal without actually dealing with bars of silver.
In terms of how I would trade SLV, I’d look for these three things.
For one, does the chart have daily and weekly squeezes?
Two, is the year-to-date performance crushing the other major indices?
And three, does it have stacked EMAs?
If all those signals are a “yes,” then that’s a textbook bullish signal.
So while there are several ways you can trade the precious metal, I would consider looking for these three indicators to give you the greenlight for a trade.
Action Plan: While silver is on a tear, the fact that the precious metal is soaring can also be an indicator of future volatility based on past historical data.
But if you know what to look for with chart analysis – you don’t have to try and guess which direction the market is headed to make gains.
I have one specific trade that I make before 9:30 a.m. that capitalizes on big moves in the pre-market AFTER earnings.
And with earnings season coming up – I’ll be using this strategy to target gains as high as 300%.
