Ever wonder how traders get in stocks before they explode? 🧐

Or find options that move 1,000% in a single day/week?🤯

I made a thread going over exactly how I find these stocks BEFORE they take off 🚀

12 tweets that will teach you more than a $4,997 trading course:

1) Relative Strength

Watch which stocks are green while the market is red

Institutions are most likely buying those up

2) Less is more

If you disagree with this, you're probably not a profitable trader

Take 1/2 the amount of trades you normally do and see what happens

3) The Market Doesn't Care About Indicators

You really think the funds putting millions of dollars into the market are "buying off a 9 ema"???

Get rid of your indicators

Just watch price and volume

4) Sell Options

Market makers, funds, banks, pretty much everyone other than retail is on the opposite side of your weekly OTM option

Every successful trader has a pre-market routine

Here's a premarket routine coming from a full-time trader:

I usually start my routine at 8:00am EST.

The first thing I do is check $ES and $NQ futures to see how the market moved overnight.

After that, I'll check to see how my open swing positions are if I have any

I'll also check the swing watchlist that I make every weekend

To see if any setups are getting close to my entries

If you're thinking of giving up on trading...

(my story)

During the beginning of my trading journey, there were many times where I thought of giving up.

The first year I really was committed.

Then towards the second year, I really started thinking, “Is this really for me?”

I knew I had a strong passion for trading.
It’s what kept me in the game for so long.

But after 2 years of losses, I thought maybe I was meant for another business.

But there was always that “What if” thought running through my head.

What if I’m right there?

What if tomorrow starts the day where I become consistently profitable?

That thought never left…

It wasn’t until I found Supply and Demand Trading.

It changed the game for me.

It simply just made sense.

I cut out all the useless indicators I was using and started studying.

Slowly but surely, it started working

My hyper specific @unusual_whales strategy, The Blue Whalevator. A Thread.

This is an intraday strategy I've developed. It only takes huge whales, waits for confirmation, and filters out 99% of plays.

Fewer trades but high prob setups for bigger

The requirements are so specific and narrow that you will only get a few alerts a day. Once you get the alert, follow the checklist.

Today, the method took two trades so far.

$UPST 200c 9.00 > 12.20
$UPST 195c 10.30 > 15.00

The benefit of being hyper specific & requiring a long list of criteria protects us from false signals such as this one on $TSLA today.

Confirmation never hit and the move gave a false positive before breaking down. There's now a whale somewhere with an angry wife.

Here's another signal today that we would've not traded as it didn't meet the confirmation criteria.

As we are focusing intraday, we need to see moves in the desired direction occur relatively quickly to show that the momentum is there for an intraday play.

$NFLX

On Friday, the strategy went 3/3 moves for good gains.

It filtered out many more false signals by waiting for confirmation criteria.

Trading Education Thread time 1/8

There are really only two types of trading styles:

1. Mean Reversion Trading
2. Breakout Trading

All other "styles" are merely indicator-based trading systems.

This thread will specifically discuss Breakout Trading

2/8

Breakout Trading requires identification of four elements in order to be successful:

1. Trendlines (pattern based support/resistance)
2. Price Action (overall trending direction)
3. Volume (the amount of participants)

3/8

Trendlines serve as support/resistance like order blocks (areas w/ prior bull/bear struggle) & lead to patterns. Human psychology does not like randomness which is why there tends to be strong reaction at the extremes of historical reference points or anticipated patterns.

4/8

The mkt tends to test two extreme ends of reference areas for a time, leading to a distinct larger pattern or range. A misconception is that certain patterns are always bearish/bullish, but the dominant trend (~4-7x TF above yours) influences the eventual breakout dir more.

5/8

Still, false breaks occur quite frequently. Basic patterns like triangles often trap newer traders that seasoned traders/algos regularly exploit, especially in crypto. Frontrunning or chasing mid-candle breakout is at high risk of being exit liquidity for the counter dump.

If price is extended from ema or makes New Highs and you slap the ask, you already skew your risk reward (in case of short you slap bid at new lows)
You have to let entry come to you for best risk reward, find pullback in the trend!

#tradingtips #entry #riskreward 2/5
When you chase, you are one providing liquidity to someone who is going to exit at that price, so you will be immediately down or negative in your position.
Even though our mind is wired to give us FOMO and we click the market buy..its wrong

#tradingtips #entry #riskreward 3/5
rather than skewing your risk reward chasing 5 plays....wait for a pullback in trend on 1 play and have size with conviction with clear support/risk off level...same if shorting...wait for resistance level bounce

#tradingtrips #entry #riskreward 4/5
If Day Trading, Tape Reading and watching where most volume is being soaked is key level for entry (Example VRPX at 8 today)...add those tape reading skills for better entry...along with support/pullback level

#tradingtrips #entry #riskreward 5/5
Take 100 charts and study the trend. Make a journal and explain to yourself if you were trading those 100 charts, which pullback would you have entered and what would have been you risk/reward and best entry!
Backtest Entries! Very important
