David Settle, CMT Market ScholarsA Daily Market Process Refined Across More Than Two Decades
David began producing Market Outlook analysis more than 20 years ago for Investools. It started as a daily webpage built around an updated Market Forecast study chart and a brief written assessment of what happened in the market that day.
That analysis evolved into a regular Market Outlook video across the Investools, thinkorswim, and TD Ameritrade education platforms. After leaving in 2018, David continued developing it independently through Market Scholars—expanding the process into today’s complete framework for trend, momentum, market leadership, breadth, intermarket signals, and risk.
Move From a Market Recap to a Repeatable Daily Routine
Basic helps you understand the day in writing. Foundation adds the complete analysis and live trade-management layer, so you can see how the evidence is organized before, during, and after the close.

Follow the pre-close review of open positions and the day’s Market Outlook trade idea, including entries, adjustments, management, and live exits.
Live Trade Tracker

What a Foundation Market Day Looks Like
Review the session, manage open Market Outlook positions, and follow the day’s trade decision in real time.
Use the complete video and written Playbook to connect the day’s drivers, internals, leadership, and risk signals.
Know what would strengthen, challenge, or invalidate the current market interpretation before the next open.
Results are based on a $25,000 example portfolio and are shown to document the process—not to promise future performance. The Live Trade Tracker includes completed outcomes, including losses.
It’s perfect for people just starting or ramping up their active trading activities, but it’s also just right for more experienced active traders who want a quick shot of CMT level expertise in an easy to access format.
