Wagner Daily from Morpheus Trading Group
Know where you’ll get out before you get in.
That’s how every Wagner Daily trade starts. Head trader Rick Pedicelli sends swing trade alerts on leading growth stocks, each with its stop (your planned exit if the trade goes against you) set before you buy.
Then the app works out your share count from that stop and your own risk setting, so a loss stays the size you planned.

The 3,100+ trade count is reconstructed by MTG from the alerts members received and is unaudited. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
How we trade
We buy the strongest stocks while the market is rising, and we set the stop before every buy.
If you’ve ever moved a stop, or bought more shares than you meant to, you know what it costs.
Deron built the written rules we use for swing trades (trades held for days to a few weeks), and he and Rick have refined them together for more than 20 years.
- 1
Market first
Before we look at any stock, the MTG Market Timing model checks whether the market is in an uptrend, and whether we should be buying at all.
Its inputs are the trend of the Nasdaq and the S&P 500, the number of heavy selling days, and how well breakouts in leading stocks hold up.
- 2
Trade the leaders
We buy relative strength leaders, mostly US growth stocks and ETFs that are rising faster than the market.
- 3
Buy the trigger
Rick sends the alert when the price rises to the entry price, the price to buy at.
The setups are ones we’ve traded for years, such as a breakout from a base, where a stock moves above a range it traded in for weeks, or a pullback, a short dip in an uptrend.
- 4
Stop first, then size
The stop is set before the buy, and it only ever moves in our favor.
Your share count comes from the gap between the entry and the stop, so a loss is planned to stay small, and you know it before you buy.
- 5
Sell in pieces
Rick often sells part of a position to take some profit, and short-term moving averages (averages of recent prices) help decide when to sell the rest.
Illustration of the steps. Not a real trade, and not a result.
- 1Rick’s alert gives the entry price, the price to buy atEntry
- 2The stop is set below the entry, before the buyStop
- 3Part of the position is sold to take some profitSale
- 4The stop moves up behind the trade, here to the entry priceStop
- 5The rest is sold when the short-term trend weakensSale
With the stop at the entry price, the rest of the trade is planned to end at break-even or better.
Some trades go the other way. From January to June 2026, 56 of the 102 closed trades were losses, averaging -3.8%, which is why the stop always comes first.

Closed-trade figures are from the model portfolio, reconstructed by MTG from the alerts members received. They are unaudited, exclude commissions and slippage, and are price moves, not account returns. Stops can fill below their price, for example when a stock gaps down at the open.
The published record
The first half of 2026, winners and losers.
We’ve published more than 3,100 trades since 2002, and the losing trades stay in the record.
These figures cover every trade and partial exit (a sale of part of a position) that the model portfolio closed from January to June 2026, the most recent full half-year. The model portfolio is how we track Rick’s trade alerts.
There were more losing trades than winners, but on average a loss was about a quarter as large as a win.
The stop on every trade is there to keep losses that small, while the winners get room to grow.

Each result is the price move on one trade, not the return on an account. The 3,100+ count and these figures are for the model portfolio behind Wagner Daily, reconstructed by MTG from the alerts members received. They are unaudited, exclude commissions and slippage, and are not any member’s results. Stops can fill below their price. Past results don’t guarantee future results.
What you get
From Rick’s alert to your own share count, before you buy.
For a lot of traders, the damage doesn’t come from the stock they picked.
It comes from buying too many shares, or moving the stop farther away because you hope the stock will come back.
- 1
Rick sends the alert
Each alert goes out when the price reaches the entry, and it comes with the stop and Rick’s size call (such as full size or half size).
- 2
You tap “Size it”
The app turns the stop into your share count, from the account size and “risk” setting you choose.
- 3
You check the light
A green light means the model is on a “Buy” signal.
On a yellow light, new buys are few or none, and the app shows a short warning before it sizes one, so the choice stays yours.
You place every order at your own broker. The app opens in your web browser and never connects to your brokerage account.
Also included
- Our exclusive Wagner Daily trading chat room, live with Rick and members during US market hours
- Rick’s daily Watchlist and market analysis, in the app and by email
- Rick’s open positions, with every stop move and sell
We keep adding tools to the app, and new ones are included in the membership.
Using AI for trade ideas?
AI can find you a stock. It can’t keep you from moving your stop.
An AI chat can list stocks in seconds, and it never gets tired.
What it usually can’t do is hold you to a plan when a trade starts moving against you.
AI finds ideas
Use it for research if it helps you.
It doesn’t know your account, and it can’t feel a losing streak.
The method sets the rules
Our written rules decide what to buy, when to buy, where the stop goes and how large each position is.
Rick applies them every day, and the Wagner Daily app uses the same rules to size each alert for your account.
You keep the discipline
You take the trade, respect the stop, and hold off on new buys when the light is yellow.
- AI alone tends to trade too often.It gives you plenty of ideas, and nothing that says when to stay out of the market.
- Rules alone fall behind.Working out every share count by hand is slow, and easy to skip on a busy day.
- You alone can run out of energy.Tiredness and emotion creep in, and some trades get taken out of boredom.
No AI picks our trades. Rick does, using the rules, and the app does the sizing math.
Who Wagner Daily fits, and who it doesn’t.
A good fit if
- You want a plan before you buy, with the entry and the stop set first.
- You hold trades for days to a few weeks, which can fit around a full-time job.
- You trade US stocks and ETFs at your own broker.
- You’d rather hold cash than buy stocks in a weak market just to stay active.
Not a fit if
- You want day trades, or alerts on crypto, futures or forex.
- You want a promised return. There isn’t one, and you’ll have losing trades, sometimes several in a row.
- You want new buy alerts every day. With no “Buy” signal, there may be few or none for several weeks.
What a weak market looks like inside Wagner Daily
On a yellow light, Rick is in cash (holding no stocks) or holding 1 or 2 small positions, and few or no new buy alerts go out. In mid-October 2026, for example, the model went to 100% cash.
That’s capital preservation, and it matters because a big loss takes a much bigger gain to win back.
If a weak market has been rough on your account, position size is often the first thing to check.
The model can be early, late or wrong, and time in cash can mean missed gains.

Common questions
Is a robot or AI picking the trades?
No. Rick chooses each trade himself, using the written rules Deron built.
The app only works out your share count.
How many trade alerts will I get?
On average, about 3 to 4 new trades a week, and more when the market is strong.
With no “Buy” signal, there may be few or none for several weeks, though stop changes and sells on open trades still go out.
I work full time. Can I keep up?
Yes. Swing trades are held for days to a few weeks, not minutes.
Rick’s daily Watchlist gives an entry price and a stop for each stock he may buy in the next session, so you can plan before the market opens.
If a stock has already run well past its entry by the time you see the alert, skip it and wait for the next one.
I’m new to trading. Is this for me?
It can be, if you have placed trades before, because every alert comes with its entry and its stop, and the app works out your share count.
If you have never bought a stock, start with the free Intro to Trading course, and come back when you are ready.
What size account do I need?
The app works out each share count from your own account size and “risk” setting, so a smaller account simply gets fewer shares.
At 1% risk, for example, a $5,000 account would risk $50 on a full-size alert.
You choose your risk per trade, and you can start small while you learn the alerts.
How is this different from other alert services?
Every alert comes with its stop set first, and the app works out the share count for your account.
We publish the losing trades along with the winners, and when the market turns weak, we keep new buying small or skip it.
I was a member before. What’s different now?
Rick still leads the alerts and the trading chat room, using the same written rules.
The daily report you remember is now Rick’s daily Watchlist and market analysis, in the app and by email, and the app sizes each alert for your account.
How do I cancel, and how does the guarantee work?
Cancel anytime by emailing help@morpheustrading.com.
With the 30-day confidence guarantee, email us within 30 days of your first payment for a full refund.
Monthly plans have the 30-day confidence guarantee: email us within 30 days of your first payment for a full refund.
