This episode of Fill the Gap features Rich Ross, CMT, Senior Managing Director and Head of Technical Analysis at Evercore ISI. We discuss Rich's career path from Nasdaq market maker to award-winning technician, highlighting his philosophy of making complex concepts simple and practical for investors.
Rich Ross, CMT emphasizes that markets operate on probabilities, not certainties. His process focuses on price action, candlesticks, moving averages, and relative strength, with a trend-following bias but flexibility for tactical opportunities. He notes today’s markets are increasingly influenced by passive flows, quants, and algos, making adaptability essential.

Fill the Gap, hosted by David Lundgren, CMT, CFA and Tyler Wood, CMT brings veteran market analysts and money managers onto a monthly podcast.
