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 🚀
👇👇👇

From losing $15k over 2 years, to now making $15k/month...

Here's 10 tips I'd tell my younger self:

1. Focus on the process

The money will come. Stop worrying about how much money you made today

Focus on how much work you're putting in

How many hours are you studying charts?

Inputs > Outputs

2. Journal your trades!

I didn't start doing this until about a year in of trading.

It helped TREMENDOUSLY

You'll learn a lot about how you can improve and stop you from making the same mistakes

3. Listen to others

Don't be listening to the random on Twitter who just started out

But if someone with experience and a professional in their field gives you advice...

take it.

They know something you don't.

4. Stop Full Porting

Trading is not a "get rich quick" business.

It will take time.

Even with a $500 account, learn to use risk management and the money will come

I’m a full time day/swing trader for a living.
I’ve learned a lot through my time trading.
Here’s a thread going over my exact trading strategy
As well as some helpful tips/tricks.
👇👇👇

My trading strategy revolves around three things:
1. Supply and Demand
2. Trend
3. Liquidity
All are important and essential for my trade setup.

Supply and Demand: What is it?
Supply and Demand zones are areas of price where institutional buying or selling is taking place. These zones are key because price is likely to reverse at these zones since institutions want to defend or add to their position.

To find these zones, you want to look at the SPEED of price action. Supply/Demand zones are formed when price moves FAST from an area. Look for wicks or long body candles.

How to draw zones?
To draw these zones, you take the top of the body or wick of the candle PREVIOUS to the explosive candle and draw it down to the bottom. Extend the zone and there it is. (Knowing whether to use the wick or top of the body will take experience)

Adding market structure to your trading could literally turn you into a $10k/month trader

But learning what a real structure break is can take months...

So here's a thread on how to identify a break of structure:👇

A structure break is simply when price breaks a pivot high/low

But there are a few rules that help determine if that break is a real BOS

Because the opposite of a BOS is a stop hunt

Let's first go over what a stop hunt is.

A stop hunt is when price takes out a pivot and immediately reverses.

Here's an example on $NQ

Stop hunts are typically wicks and result in a strong move in the opposite direction

A break of structure is simply the opposite

And can be comprised of 2 different rules:

1. Continuation

After price breaks a pivot, look for continuation in that direction

You'll also want to see price stay above the pivot line

Here's an example on $TSLA

I'm often asked how one should study a market, so here are some thoughts:

Studying a market is different, from learning how to trade.

Learning how to trade includes everything from managing risk to managing yourself.

Studying a market is simply the process of looking for an edge.

Once you have identified an edge, you still have to learn to trade it.

The best way to study a market is to watch it as closely as you can but always using a frame of reference.

You should pick a frame of reference and exhaust its possibilities.

For example, you could use a time-based approach.

You could study how the market moves at certain times of the day, week or month.

I knew of one trader who made his money (and he made a lot of it) by studying specifically how the ES behaved at the end of each month. His entire edge was created around this.

I know of another successful trader who focused exclusively on the 8am open in FTSE futures.

Mini thread of my strategy.

Disclaimer: I truly don’t feel qualified to share “my strategy”. There are other better experienced traders you should listen to. But here’s what I trade: MOMENTUM, FLOW & CNBC pump 😃

Every night I manually go through 50-60 tickers and find high probability setup based on previous day/week’s action. I chose to manually go through tickers as it helps me continue to learn my frequently traded tickers, their “personality” etc.

I set alerts based on levels I identify. Pivot levels such as previous days high, low, close etc. I tend to set my alerts few $$ below where I’d actually want to enter a trade. This way I can have time to pull the chart up, find the right contract without rushing into any trade

I’ve studied candle sticks and have particular candlesticks I tend to keep an eye out for when I go through my watchlist. Inside days, morning/evening star, spinning tops, hammer, harami, marubozu are some faves. Also note stocks with high volume and strong trend day.

I’m not big on TA as I find it to be too subjective. However, certain patterns that are obvious and that I can identify without squinting too hard, I take note of- bear flags, bulls flags, range breaks, obvious trend lines. I don’t force trends and patterns that don’t exist 😂
