Full transcript
- 0:07all right guys
- 0:08i promised to do a video about my
- 0:12setup and methodology and process
- 0:17for a long time now and it's the most
- 0:19common question i get asked
- 0:22to explain my process and method
- 0:26and setup selection and uh
- 0:30i promised to do a video for way too
- 0:33long
- 0:33and uh yeah so
- 0:39enough is enough uh
- 0:45it's time to actually do it instead of
- 0:48promising things so
- 0:52i have a few uh basic setups
- 0:55that i trade over and over and over
- 0:57again
- 1:03let's start with the parabolic short
- 1:07what is the parabolic short let's let's
- 1:10take a few examples it's a stock that
- 1:13gets
- 1:13very extended in a short amount of time
- 1:17so there's two components to it you have
- 1:18a percentage move
- 1:21preferably it's you know two three
- 1:23hundred percent
- 1:24or maybe even a thousand percent plus
- 1:28in a short amount of time like three
- 1:30days
- 1:31five days uh two weeks or something
- 1:34uh it's updated goes up
- 1:38a lot in a short amount of time and
- 1:41preferably it goes up
- 1:42on nothing you know some speculation or
- 1:45hype or just a pure pump
- 1:48uh let's take ino for example recently
- 1:52this thing
- 1:53like this is what you're looking for
- 1:55something that's just straight up
- 1:57straight up with no dips this thing went
- 2:00up 300 percent in one two
- 2:02three four five sessions on the fifth
- 2:04day
- 2:06now this is important you have to wait
- 2:08you can't short on the first or second
- 2:10date generally
- 2:11sometimes it's work it works shorting
- 2:14stocks on the first or second day but i
- 2:16prefer to wait the ones that
- 2:18go up for three four even five days
- 2:20those are the best ones
- 2:22[Music]
- 2:24uh because you you want to be in a
- 2:26position of strength you don't want to
- 2:28start shorting it down here because you
- 2:30think it's a piece of pump
- 2:32and it's up too much you don't want to
- 2:34short it on day one or day two
- 2:37okay and this is the trade i actually
- 2:40did real time
- 2:41in on the stream so those of you been
- 2:44following my stream you
- 2:45you remember this trade i know several
- 2:47of you they traded with me
- 2:49the fifth day it's a big euphoric gap
- 2:53up and then it just tanks okay
- 2:57let's look at the um now i don't have
- 3:00the intraday
- 3:00five minutes short available right
- 3:04now i think nope i don't have the five
- 3:07minute
- 3:07chart where let's look at the 10 minute
- 3:10chart
- 3:10uh or maybe 15 minutes short yeah
- 3:16let's see here okay so 15 minutes all
- 3:20right still i need the five minute
- 3:22but pretty much what you saw was it had
- 3:26a little bit of push out of the gate
- 3:28and then it took out opening range lows
- 3:31now this is key
- 3:32like i talk a lot about opening range
- 3:34highs
- 3:35and opening range lows
- 3:40and i trade them all the time if i want
- 3:42to short
- 3:43opening range highs sorry opening range
- 3:46lows is usually where i wanna short it
- 3:49and the opening range can be the one
- 3:52minute chart
- 3:53like a one minute candle the first one
- 3:55minute candle it can be that five minute
- 3:57candle first five minute candle or it
- 3:59could be the first
- 4:01hourly candle like like this these
- 4:04charts here
- 4:05i use the one hour short a lot
- 4:09uh and it can also be
- 4:12like for example on ino the opening
- 4:15range lows on the 60 minute chart was
- 4:181620 on this day here
- 4:22but on the one minute chart it was up
- 4:24here in the 18s and also in the five
- 4:26minute chart it was also here in the
- 4:2718th i really i don't have
- 4:29the five minute and one-minute charts
- 4:31right now on this platform
- 4:33um i should have prepared better for
- 4:35this stream it was kind of sporadic
- 4:37i didn't really prepare but yeah
- 4:41let's look at an uh look at the recent
- 4:43example
- 4:44um mrna
- 4:48this one wasn't an opening range lows
- 4:51play it was more of a
- 4:53it was still a range break like i also
- 4:55talk a lot about
- 4:57long uh tight ranges
- 5:00so mrna was another candidate it's been
- 5:02up
- 5:05500 percent it's it's a large cap stock
- 5:08500
- 5:08in six months for a large cap stock
- 5:10that's a big move
- 5:12that's a very big move a lot of hype and
- 5:14speculation with their
- 5:16uh vaccine kovi 19 vaccine etc etc
- 5:22uh
- 5:24and they had kind of
- 5:27decent data on this day here the stock
- 5:30was already extended
- 5:31they uh
- 5:35released some decent data but it was
- 5:37only from eight patients which is kind
- 5:38of irrelevant
- 5:40so this one i was stalking for a good
- 5:42risk watch set up
- 5:43now it did have i i think i even shorted
- 5:46it i don't remember if i did i
- 5:48i think i shorted on the opening range
- 5:49lows and took a loss on it
- 5:52this is like last week i really don't
- 5:54remember i'm so bad at remembering
- 5:56trades
- 5:57but i may have taken a loss on the first
- 5:59trip and in late day
- 6:02just went in a tight tight range and
- 6:04late date started fading and that's
- 6:06that's where you got a tight tight range
- 6:07on it
- 6:08two dollars raised two dollars to make
- 6:11potentially 20 25 on a downside that's
- 6:14exactly what happened just
- 6:16straight down from there so this was
- 6:18another extended stock
- 6:22uh but it wasn't up like three four days
- 6:24in a row it was yeah it had just been
- 6:26flagging for a week and then it gapped
- 6:29up a date on this uh
- 6:31on this news but it was already pretty
- 6:34overextended so
- 6:35it's kinda similar setup to
- 6:38the ino setup i was talking about
- 6:42but it wasn't straight up as violently
- 6:46as this ino but the key in both of these
- 6:48you don't
- 6:49randomly short them you wait for them to
- 6:52actually
- 6:52start going lower you don't stop uh
- 6:56you know start randomly picking tops you
- 6:58wait for weakness
- 7:00so that's why you wait for this opening
- 7:02range lows
- 7:04or uh mid late day fades
- 7:08so it's kind of the same trade but that
- 7:11variation
- 7:12of of the same trade pretty much and ino
- 7:15had a exactly
- 7:16similar setup a little bit later in
- 7:20april
- 7:22also it went up 100
- 7:25in just five six sessions and then you
- 7:28had this a little bit of a peak day
- 7:32you you pretty much count the days you
- 7:34know it's up one two
- 7:35three four even on this steven even if
- 7:39it
- 7:39the candle here is red the stock was
- 7:42still higher on this day
- 7:44the candle here is red because it closed
- 7:47lower than it opened but it still closed
- 7:49higher than the previous day so it was
- 7:51still an update
- 7:52so how what one two three four five six
- 7:55on the seventh day
- 7:58you get this uh little bit of a reversal
- 8:02but it actually was a pretty big
- 8:04reversal
- 8:06where are we
- 8:11i can't find it on the five minutes or
- 8:12oh okay i have to look at a 10 minute
- 8:14chart
- 8:16and it's the same thing exactly
- 8:19same thing opening range lows was the
- 8:23key
- 8:24now in the 10 minute shot the opening
- 8:25range lows is here 15
- 8:2717 or so but i think on the one and
- 8:30five-minute
- 8:31uh charts it was higher like mid or high
- 8:3415s
- 8:36so you wait for that opening range lows
- 8:40because the stock has been straight up
- 8:44then it triggers it tried to bounce and
- 8:47i'm gonna
- 8:48introduce you another concept the vivap
- 8:50this is an
- 8:51indicator i use a lot when shorting only
- 8:53when i'm shorting stocks pretty much
- 8:56or when i play me in a version trade
- 8:58sometimes i do use it on the long side
- 9:00too but
- 9:01only when i like do bounce plays i'm
- 9:03gonna go through that later
- 9:06so it tests viva can't get above
- 9:09it holds below viva midday
- 9:13similar to what mrna did it built a uh
- 9:16range for several hours and then it
- 9:18breaks below that
- 9:20and then it just you know fade straight
- 9:22down then it went sideways a little bit
- 9:24for a few days and then it had another
- 9:26leg lower
- 9:27uh and i should also mention i'm mostly
- 9:30a swing trader i don't
- 9:32do trades for day trades when i do a
- 9:35trade i do it to hold for several days
- 9:38or weeks if i'm short and
- 9:41generally for weeks and months if i go
- 9:43long
- 9:45so let's look at some mean aversion long
- 9:48trades
- 9:51um i'm gonna see
- 9:54one that i remember i had a really good
- 9:57trade on
- 9:58was on gbtc this is a bitcoin etf
- 10:02back in december 2017.
- 10:05now you should already already recognize
- 10:09this setup here
- 10:11you have something that's up hundreds
- 10:13and hundreds of percent
- 10:15in in a short amount of time you know
- 10:18has a leg higher it goes sideways as a
- 10:20leg higher goes sideways another leg
- 10:22higher then it goes up
- 10:24a bunch of days in a row it pretty much
- 10:26doubles
- 10:27in in a week and then you had this
- 10:29blow-off day and
- 10:33i don't have the intraday shot for it
- 10:34right now but
- 10:36it was a similar shot to what i showed
- 10:38on mrna and
- 10:39i know you get
- 10:43vivap fails and then it just starts
- 10:45fading and you have this you have a set
- 10:46risk reward
- 10:48uh but i'm gonna talk about this bounce
- 10:50now this is uh
- 10:52similar to the short set up the median
- 10:54version of parabolic short this is the
- 10:56parabolic loan
- 10:57the same concept you have a stock that's
- 10:59down 40 50
- 11:0160 percent in in this uh case it's down
- 11:05almost
- 11:0570 percent in one two three four
- 11:08sessions
- 11:09the fourth day gaps down big has a
- 11:12washout a little bit of a washout goes a
- 11:14little bit lower from the open
- 11:17and that's the same thing it starts it
- 11:19reclaims v-map
- 11:21it holds above viva puts in opening
- 11:24range lows
- 11:25and that's when you go long when it once
- 11:27it starts proving
- 11:28itself and it bounced the total move
- 11:31higher was
- 11:32110 110 in two days
- 11:37actually you know what i'm gonna look at
- 11:39i'm gonna find the intraday short for
- 11:40you
- 11:41um let's see here
- 11:45uh okay let's see
- 11:48gbtc i'm gonna find the introduce short
- 11:51i'm gonna
- 11:52find the shot for both the short and the
- 11:54long this was such a perfect trade you
- 11:56want to find these
- 11:57stocks with big big ranges that's where
- 12:01the big money is
- 12:05let's see here so i'm gonna show you
- 12:07guys
- 12:09okay
- 12:1719. so i'm going to show you this is
- 12:19evernote i have a
- 12:20huge database of shards and stocks that
- 12:23i've been building for years and years
- 12:25this is how you build an a
- 12:26edge so chibi dc was actually a little
- 12:29bit shopping now i'm
- 12:30gonna show you guys on this this day
- 12:33here when it peaked
- 12:35and when it started the big decline okay
- 12:38so it was a little bit choppy intraday
- 12:41it was weak at first it gapped down but
- 12:43then it went straight up
- 12:45reclaimed vivap i don't have evap on
- 12:48this short
- 12:49but uh it reclaimed evap
- 12:52actually took out the previous day size
- 12:55and then midday it peaked
- 12:59it started uh it went below viva app
- 13:03retested viva app and then it started
- 13:05fading
- 13:06and that's when you have a set risk
- 13:08reward because you know
- 13:09a lot of stocks they start fading in mid
- 13:11late day especially these momentum
- 13:13stocks
- 13:14and that's where you have a set risk you
- 13:16would you know you don't have to guess
- 13:17where the top is gonna be
- 13:21and then it faded seventy percent almost
- 13:23in four or five days
- 13:25and now this day here this is the five
- 13:27minute chart okay
- 13:29uh so this day here is the day it
- 13:32bounced
- 13:34this is that day
- 13:38so it's it's like you switch this uh
- 13:40like
- 13:43you flip the short right it's the same
- 13:45trade but on the long side
- 13:47it's extended to the downside and it
- 13:49starts putting in
- 13:51it puts in the first green candle like
- 13:53this is also something i talked about
- 13:55the first green and the first red
- 13:57candle like if you have something that's
- 13:59going straight up or straight down
- 14:02uh you wait for the first like let's say
- 14:05in this case
- 14:06it's something that gets three that's
- 14:08getting really overextended on the
- 14:10downside you wait for the first screen
- 14:12five minute candle
- 14:13okay before you buy then you can use
- 14:16that lower that candle
- 14:17as a stop so in this case you get the
- 14:20first screen candle and this is a trade
- 14:21i traded
- 14:22i i did trade but i didn't stream at
- 14:25this time this is like a year before i
- 14:26started streaming
- 14:28uh so you add a little bit then it takes
- 14:31out the opening range highs that's where
- 14:33you add more and go straight up
- 14:35unfortunately i sold this thing way
- 14:37early i don't think even i hold it
- 14:39held it overnight and then the next
- 14:41state went up another 20 30 percent
- 14:44so these are the mean aversion traits
- 14:46the parabolic short
- 14:48and the parabolic longs i'm just gonna
- 14:50do a quick overview i'm not gonna go
- 14:52into details there are many nuances to
- 14:54these traits but these are like
- 14:57uh you know the most important concepts
- 15:01of these trades then another uh
- 15:05important setup i use are the breakouts
- 15:08and the earnings gapping gap versus
- 15:11earnings breakouts i'm going to show you
- 15:12some
- 15:12examples of
- 15:16ones i have traded
- 15:19recently uh this delicious t-doc i
- 15:22traded this on the stream
- 15:25they had good earnings report they beat
- 15:28both the eps revenue they got it higher
- 15:31and the stock gaps up and goes up on big
- 15:34volume
- 15:35okay it takes out a long range a
- 15:37multi-year range
- 15:39i'm going to show you guys the short on
- 15:40the
- 15:42weekly chart um i'm going to show you
- 15:44the weekly chart
- 15:45so this is where it broke out on high
- 15:48volume
- 15:48you have a stock that's been building
- 15:51higher lows for over a year
- 15:53took out the range this is a growth
- 15:55stock they're in the right sector
- 15:57right business things are going well
- 15:58this is where the stock is up
- 16:00straight up since 2016. things are going
- 16:02well for them
- 16:04and then a gap up on a good earnings
- 16:06report this is what started the big move
- 16:08unfortunate you know hop went up 160
- 16:11percent in a few months
- 16:13unfortunately i sold this thing i think
- 16:16in the like
- 16:17105 or something i don't remember
- 16:19exactly i sold it way too early
- 16:21it doubled after i sold it pretty much
- 16:26another example would be the xcm this is
- 16:29another
- 16:30one i traded very similar short
- 16:34you wait for a long range break it needs
- 16:36to gap up on good earnings speed
- 16:38analyst estimates uh have good growth
- 16:41numbers
- 16:42uh it the eps
- 16:46grew by 261 percent year over year
- 16:50and the revenue grew by 49 this is a
- 16:53growth stock the estimates
- 16:54for the next year were 156 percent
- 16:58or the same year this is 2019 and the
- 17:02estimates for the next year which is
- 17:042020 was 54
- 17:06so they were going to keep growing
- 17:12and it went straight up now they don't
- 17:14all go straight up obviously i'm gonna
- 17:16i'm just showing perfect examples
- 17:18obviously to take a lot of losses
- 17:20in fact about 60 percent of my trades
- 17:23are losses
- 17:24um even more i think
- 17:29i think even 70 percent i think last
- 17:32year my
- 17:3370 almost 70 percent my trades were
- 17:35losses or breakevens
- 17:37and yet i'm wildly profitable and that's
- 17:40because you have to have small losers
- 17:43big winners
- 17:44anyways dxcm this is the weekly short
- 17:47similar setup you have a higher lows for
- 17:49six months you have a range
- 17:51like a year-long range then it gaps up
- 17:54on good earnings
- 17:56beats analyst estimates guides higher
- 17:58etc etc things are going well for this
- 18:01company
- 18:04and it more than doubles it had a big
- 18:07shakeout here during the corona crisis
- 18:10where it bounced
- 18:11perfectly off the rising 200 day
- 18:18um so i'm going to show you some
- 18:20examples
- 18:21from my own portfolio of these setups
- 18:25let's look at mrna like mrna i went over
- 18:28i'm still short this thing i'm still
- 18:31short from this stay
- 18:32here now i've been adding on the 60
- 18:34minute ranges for example yesterday
- 18:37it gapped down while the market was
- 18:40gapping up
- 18:41it showed relative weakness this is also
- 18:43a concept i talked a lot about
- 18:45relative strength and relative weakness
- 18:48if you're stalking a short stop for a
- 18:50short and it starts showing relative
- 18:52weakness that's a good sign and vice
- 18:54versa for if you're stocking something
- 18:56on the long side
- 18:57so an opening range lows here i added to
- 19:01it
- 19:01yesterday and went straight down and
- 19:04it's gapping down today
- 19:05while the markets are gapping higher
- 19:08spies are up like
- 19:10almost one percent overnight oh more
- 19:12more
- 19:131.3 so mrna
- 19:18ibio this is a stock i've been long for
- 19:20a while
- 19:21um this is also like a range break this
- 19:25is like a small tiny piece of stock
- 19:27i'm long because it's a theme stock
- 19:30uh like kobe 19 is right now the theme
- 19:33the kobe 19 vaccines are very hot theme
- 19:36right now
- 19:39so technically what did i see i saw a
- 19:41range break several months this is a
- 19:43former momentum stock i had a big move
- 19:45back in february
- 19:46on corona this is a corona related pump
- 19:51and then here had a big volume day
- 19:55or not that big but you know above
- 19:57average volume so i thought hey
- 19:58why not it's a good risk award why can't
- 20:00this thing double
- 20:01a lot of these things are doubling w uh
- 20:05this one
- 20:08is a range break from yesterday
- 20:12i shorted it this thing is up it was up
- 20:16840 percent in like a few months
- 20:19so very overextended name this is just a
- 20:21variation of the same
- 20:22setup you wait for weakness on a very
- 20:25strong stock
- 20:28and yesterday lost the rising 20 day for
- 20:31the first time since this
- 20:33whole big move and today it's gapping
- 20:36lower even though the
- 20:37markets are gapping higher so it's
- 20:40showing relative weakness
- 20:42i think next stop for this thing would
- 20:43be maybe 130
- 20:45120 area livongo this is an earnings
- 20:49related trade
- 20:51it's a recent ipo i bought it a couple
- 20:53of months ago
- 20:56had a multi-month like six months
- 20:58sideways move
- 20:59recent ipo they sold it off
- 21:02you know it went straight down from the
- 21:04ipo it was you know kind of
- 21:07expensive stock and the market wasn't
- 21:10sure
- 21:10if they could sustain the growth etc etc
- 21:13but then it
- 21:14you know guided higher
- 21:17stock gapped up on higher on volume if
- 21:19that didn't have big volume but i i did
- 21:22a small position because it just looked
- 21:23really good
- 21:24ipo breakout the ipo breakouts can be
- 21:27super powerful and it's
- 21:29straight up since and i'm still holding
- 21:32about half of my shares
- 21:34fastly another one i bought like a
- 21:35couple of weeks ago another ipo
- 21:38breakout this thing has pretty much gone
- 21:40sideways since the ipo
- 21:42and then suddenly they had a good report
- 21:4538 no no no profits but 38 revenue
- 21:48growth good guidance
- 21:51etc big big volume by far the biggest
- 21:54volume then you
- 21:56it traded like in the first five minutes
- 21:58you saw the big volume coming in it
- 22:00traded
- 22:00average daily volume which is about one
- 22:02and a half million shares in like the
- 22:04first
- 22:05i don't know five or so minutes 10
- 22:07minutes
- 22:08so it was fairly you know pretty it was
- 22:11obvious pretty early it was gonna be a
- 22:13high volume day
- 22:14so i bought it and uh yeah i'm gonna
- 22:18show the p
- 22:18l on everything later i'm gonna show you
- 22:22my portfolio
- 22:23at the end of the video on all of these
- 22:24stocks i'm in right now these longs and
- 22:27shorts
- 22:28and vacs another one i've been talking
- 22:31about i did short it this day here
- 22:33another one of these over extended names
- 22:37up fourteen hundred percent in a few
- 22:39months and then he had
- 22:41the first states just you know getting
- 22:43extended first day
- 22:44it showed some weakness took out opening
- 22:46range lows
- 22:48started testing vivap failed at viva app
- 22:51and that's where i shorted it this is
- 22:52the 60 minute chart i shorted it here at
- 22:5456 saturday i remember
- 22:56correctly melee and other earnings play
- 23:00i'm long
- 23:02same concept you know big long range
- 23:04break
- 23:06year long range break and uh big volume
- 23:10big volume on the earnings day earning
- 23:13speed
- 23:15uh guides higher et cetera et cetera
- 23:17arctic is a small
- 23:20just a small hype kobe 19 vaccine play
- 23:23i bought it here and inside of this flag
- 23:26when when it was obvious it was building
- 23:28higher lows i think i bought it here
- 23:2940 low 45s
- 23:34this is another type of setup like high
- 23:36tide flags
- 23:37pdd also another high tide flag i bought
- 23:40here
- 23:41it's a china growth stock very good
- 23:44earnings numbers
- 23:46um i didn't buy it on the earnings
- 23:48report but i did buy it when it
- 23:52bounced off the rising 20 day after
- 23:54coming out of a long range
- 23:57and had a clean breakout here and it's
- 24:00straight up since
- 24:01shag now obviously all of these trades
- 24:03are profitable
- 24:04because i sell my losers i keep my
- 24:07winners
- 24:08and it's a concept i talk about a lot
- 24:10small winners big
- 24:13sorry small losses small losers big
- 24:16winners
- 24:17okay that's why i i i can be widely
- 24:19profitable with
- 24:21while being wrong seventy percent for
- 24:22the time shake another one another
- 24:24earnings breakout
- 24:26which sold you know over a long
- 24:28year-long pace
- 24:31etc it's the same concept sc
- 24:34uh same concept here uh had a flag
- 24:38uh where did i buy it yeah i did buy it
- 24:40here on this day here
- 24:42came out held up very well uh during the
- 24:45corona
- 24:46crisis flagged and it broke out of this
- 24:48little flag and it was
- 24:50it's it's like one of the fastest
- 24:51growing stocks in the market right now
- 24:53you want to be
- 24:54in the growth stocks the ones that
- 24:57have bright futures
- 25:02you don't want to be in something that's
- 25:03you know as negative earnings or
- 25:06or very slow earnings revenue growth you
- 25:08want the stocks growing
- 25:1030 50 100
- 25:13fmcid it's just a pump play
- 25:17i'm not even gonna talk about it it's
- 25:18just a thin piece of one this is
- 25:20another one
- 25:22uh it's a kobe 19 related name
- 25:26um it's a thin name i bought it on the
- 25:29flag break here had good earnings
- 25:33they sell some kind of uh respiratory
- 25:37devices to hospitals which is
- 25:39you know something that's a very hot
- 25:40product right now with the corona
- 25:43emph i'm short this is an example of an
- 25:46overextended trade
- 25:48straight up we had one leg up second leg
- 25:51up
- 25:51third fourth and fifth leg up on the
- 25:54third day
- 25:55opening range lows that's where i
- 25:58shorted it
- 25:59or i need short opening range though i
- 26:00showed it here midday
- 26:02with a 60 minute chart you can clearly
- 26:04see
- 26:05you have a multi-hour range and then you
- 26:08have this breakdown of this range
- 26:10so you have a tight tight range here you
- 26:13can
- 26:14your risk is like a dollar
- 26:18and i still i'm still short like half
- 26:20size just trailing it pen
- 26:23another example one i did on the stream
- 26:25yesterday
- 26:27i'm gonna show the intraday chart you
- 26:29had the opening range lows it failed
- 26:31that view app not
- 26:32once but twice
- 26:37and i i showed it opening range flows
- 26:38and i was thinking about adding it when
- 26:40it add a
- 26:41failed viva another time midday uh but i
- 26:44never did
- 26:47uh vt iq a perfect example of amino
- 26:51version short
- 26:52i unfortunately took a 125 000
- 26:55loss on it i was a little bit too
- 26:56aggressive too early and then i
- 26:59didn't add back when it showed some
- 27:01weakness and
- 27:02yeah it worked out well it went down
- 27:04over 30 40
- 27:07and then i played the bounce i'm still
- 27:09along it i i bought the bounce on this
- 27:10day here
- 27:12the 60 minute chart took out a little
- 27:14bit of a range but it's just a variation
- 27:16it wasn't like a super clean setup it's
- 27:18a variation of
- 27:20the bounce setup uh bldp breakout
- 27:25momentum stock it's in the right sector
- 27:28fuel cells fuels there's a super height
- 27:30right now
- 27:32uh and it had a bull flag tie type bull
- 27:35flag and it gaps up on big volume
- 27:37and that's you know where i bought it i
- 27:38bought opening range highs 1040s or
- 27:411050s i think
- 27:43mark this is a pump stock um
- 27:48but it's the same concept you have a
- 27:50flag and you buy it fas
- 27:52had a breakout yesterday it's a triple
- 27:53financial etf
- 27:55it's been pretty much flagging off the
- 27:58lows
- 27:59building a tight tight range over the
- 28:01past week and then it
- 28:02capped up on high volume and opening
- 28:04range size was the entry
- 28:06i actually took a loss on it first
- 28:08because it
- 28:09i bought it here near the open
- 28:12and then it faded it actually didn't
- 28:14take out the lows of the day but
- 28:16i had to stop a little bit higher i
- 28:17could stop that and then i re-bought it
- 28:19when it took out the opening range highs
- 28:22a little bit later and it's straight up
- 28:24since the markets are gapping up a lot
- 28:27and clh the same thing here
- 28:30it's also again it's a variation of the
- 28:33same setup
- 28:35you have a range break breakout
- 28:39i'm not gonna talk about it much it's
- 28:41just a c cell the same thing um
- 28:44a range break set up on a momentum stock
- 28:47like these things are super beaten down
- 28:49they have a lot of range the key is to
- 28:51trade stocks with
- 28:52range i see a lot of people they trade
- 28:55stocks they have no volume there's no
- 28:57range the middle of a range there's
- 28:59nothing going on
- 29:00and they're getting super excited about
- 29:02their stocks and i'm like
- 29:04no just know trade stocks that have
- 29:08volume and range
- 29:09that's where the money is all right i'm
- 29:11gonna show you guys
- 29:14my p l and this is why i focus on
- 29:17swing trading and update trading because

- 30:35my lungs into
- 30:36strength and my shorts into weakness and
- 30:38then i train my stops
- 30:40uh and i also sold some fas
- 30:43and i'm probably gonna get rid of more
- 30:45stuff and the reason why
- 30:47everything is green in my portfolio is
- 30:49again i
- 30:50sell my losers okay you get rid of your
- 30:53losers
- 30:53you keep your winners and i've been

- 31:22actually have more things to go through
- 31:24uh never mind uh quick
- 31:27about my scans uh i scan for stocks that
- 31:31go up a lot
- 31:34uh like i have this watch list today
- 31:37today's momentum watch list this watch
- 31:40list 271 names
- 31:42i get these stocks from these scans
- 31:48so that's what that's my nightly scans
- 31:50right

- 32:13now i get four items i don't know why i
- 32:15only get four items there should be more
- 32:17i think there's something wrong right
- 32:18now with tc2 thousand
- 32:20there should be like 40 names let's do
- 32:21the one month scan again 60 million
- 32:24dollar volume
- 32:25average daily range past 20 days 2.4
- 32:28percent and among the seven percenters
- 32:30of strongest stocks

- 32:48time frames one and a half year one
- 32:50month one year six months three months
- 32:52blah blah blah
- 32:52etc then i also scan for
- 32:56five day gainers 60 million dollar
- 32:59volume up
- 33:0025 at least past five days so i'm
- 33:04pretty much scanning for stocks that are
- 33:06strong because that
- 33:07among the strong stocks that's where you
- 33:09get the best shorts
- 33:11and the best longs then i also scam for
- 33:14losers
- 33:14you know stocks that are down a lot the
- 33:16past one or two years
- 33:19then i have a some intraday scans it's
- 33:22the same thing pretty much
- 33:25scanning for stocks that are strong
- 33:32then i also have watch list with the
- 33:34best and strongest
- 33:36growth stocks strongest are my
- 33:39the best or the best this fastest
- 33:41growing and the best momentum stocks
- 33:43then i have
- 33:45strong strong air
- 33:48and strong so these stocks these get
- 33:52these ones i also go through every every
- 33:54day every night
- 33:55and also scan them intraday like this is
- 33:58very big
- 33:59among these stocks is where the big
- 34:01money is made right now there's a lot of
- 34:03software technology stocks in there
- 34:06but depending on you know year and
- 34:09market cycle you can get a lot of like
- 34:11commodity related stocks or cyclicals
- 34:14you can get a lot of biotech related
- 34:17right now we're in a market cycle where
- 34:18technology and software
- 34:20are dominant those are the fastest
- 34:22sectors and have the best momentum so
- 34:25most of these stocks in those watch
- 34:27lists are technology and software
- 34:32all right this is uh pretty much
- 34:37pretty much it and then i compile a
- 34:39watch list
- 34:40every night look through my scans
- 34:44and start stalking stuff
- 34:49and it's always nice if the stocks you
- 34:51want to go long showing
- 34:52relative strength and the stocks you
- 34:54want to go short are showing relative
- 34:56weakness
- 34:58um all right
- 35:02um i think this is a good starter video
- 35:06maybe i'll do a longer more detailed
- 35:08video later
- 35:10this is a very unprepared video um
- 35:14and i hope you got the value from it

- 35:28know do your own
- 35:28research i've done my i've done my
- 35:31research like i've
- 35:32i've studied thousands tens of thousands
- 35:35of stocks look at this this is my
- 35:37evernote database
