A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MY MOMENTUM DAY TRADING PROCESS.

[THREAD]

 A process is just a set of rituals you complete consistently every single day to achieve a certain outcome (profit).

A process requires an edge which is simply a statistical advantage you have over other players. A strong psychological state can be considered a bonus edge.
I believe that trading can be split into three elements:

1) Knowledge and idea generation
2) Method and trade execution
3) Risk management and mindset

Each element is necessary and it builds a solid foundation in your trading process.

These factors make up the trading trinity.
MY SCANNING PROCESS:

In PM, I look for:
- Top gainers (40%+)
- Notable volume on gappers
- News or catalysts (to justify gap)
- Float (<50M)
- Market cap (<500M)
- Range (check daily)
- Price (<25)
- Stock personality (check daily)
- Filings (cash on hand and offering potential)
I like to use websites such as:
- https://t.co/dGrDjwtOR8
- https://t.co/Vc256oZCre
- https://t.co/AFrA2ebGr6
- https://t.co/N9nDmqz54E

Usually, I’m left with ~5 stocks in a warm market. I make 2 stocks my main watches and the rest are on the back burner.

I hone in on my top 2.

Also, I have any names that have had momentum and held trend in the prior days as back burner watches since they may see continuation.
Next, I go through all of the charts for the stocks that I’m interested in.

I want to identify:
- Prior ranges (since I believe stocks will trade in ranges until they breakout/down)
- Key levels from the daily
- PML and PMH

Also, I take note of the trend and the 50 and 200 SMA.
MY TRADE SETUP:

INDICATORS:
- 9 EMA = Red
- 20 EMA = Light Blue
- 50 SMA = Yellow
- 200 SMA = Green
- VWAP = Purple
- Volume Bars

TIME FRAMES:
- 5 Minute
- 1 Minute
- 1 Day
My entries will vary depending on price action and the likelihood of a stock coming down to my level.

I prefer to dip buy most of the time because breakout trades require a certain market condition.

I try add as close to major key levels as possible for low risk/high reward.
I don’t know exactly what level a stock will come to so I monitor which range they’re current trading in and I assume they continue trading there.

When it comes down to a channel line or key level. I look to see if price respects that level for an entry with risk just beneath.
If price does end up respecting that level then I will take an entry with risk just beneath the level.

I don’t breakout add unless the market is hot. I would rather for a breakout and re-test and get my adds there.

I flick between the 1m and 5m and I mainly watch candle bodies.
Alternatively, I will play more seasonal strategies and chart patterns which require their own set of rules.

Seasonal strategies are simply strategies that are high probability given the current market conditions.

*I go through and explain some strategies in my pinned tweet.
I do take into consideration supply and demand but I may not draw zones instead I try to have a key level to cover a point in the zone.

I constantly assess sentiment and I always ask myself: “Who’s in control and who’s stuck?”.

This helps me better understand the price action.
I’m selective when it comes to picking my stocks and I’m averse when it comes to taking on big risks.

I love asymmetrical bets where risk/reward and probability is skewed heavily in my favor.

I have a max pain of 10% on a trade and I will risk <2.5% of my account on a trade.
When it comes to position size, I like to go heavy since my downside risk is minimal and I will quickly cut for a paper cut loss. Also, I will move my stops to break-even after a leg up.

You can calculate position size by:

Max risk / (Entry price - Stop price) = Position size
It goes without saying but my risk levels are set around key technical or psychological levels.

I believe these levels to be potential pivot points so I’m really strict at cutting my losses because if I carry on holding then price is likely to flush.

I don’t hold bags!
When it comes to scaling, I have different approaches…

Either I will:

1) Scale most (50%+) on the first target and move my stop to entry
2) Let the stock work and only scale out small amounts (~10%) at key resistances and ride the trend based on the 20 EMA on the 5m
At the end of the day, I close out all of my positions since I’m a day trader.

However, I take note of runners that remain strong and AH movers depending on their action and their close.

I will chart these names when market closes. I keep them on back burner watch the next day.
This is simply my style and strategy that suits my lifestyle and my personality.

It’s what I find consistency, repeatability and profitability in.

It works for me but it may not work for you.

You can take this thread as a guideline and adapt it to fit your way of trading.
Another thing is I’ve recently been using ADR% as a metric to determine range.

Ideally, I want an ADR% of 10+ because I’m interested in explosive momentum moves.

Also, you always want to keep an eye on volume. You don’t want volume to fall off a cliff for a trade you’re in.
As for my trading rules, here are a list of 15 principles that I live by:
It’s not rocket science whatsoever.

Keep things simple and be able to do them time and time again with ease.

There’s no need to make things complex and sophisticated when they don’t need to be.

It’s better to have something straightforward where you just need to execute well.
Also, a big shoutout to @MullinsMomentum, @Tuckerbrees, @RocketCatchnBob, @bear_fuker and @singlesdoubles because they have heavily influenced my trading style and they have helped me find a niche in day trading.

In many ways, my strategy is inspired and derived from their own.

Finding key levels.

Lately I’ve noticed a lot of you guys have been asking why are @AdamSliverTrade and other League members levels a little different than the ones you’ve mapped out. Here’s a little information that will help you understand why and better the levels you create!

1. Find the daily range of the stock.

Measure the last 5-7 daily candles wick to wick (eliminating any outliers) and calculate the average move the stock makes.

A good example of a outlier candle that you would exclude:


2. Calculate 20-25% of the average daily range the stock moves.

The average range in the example above is about 2.00 (meaning that on any given day you could expect the stock to move 2 points)

20-25% of 2.00 = .40-.50

3. Place Key Level triggers 20-25% above and below the Market closing Price

In this example, You want your call and put triggers at key levels approximately .40-.50 away from the Market closing price.

The exponential moving average (EMA) is a technical chart indicator that tracks the price of an investment (like a stock) over time. The EMA is a type of weighted moving average (WMA) that gives more weighting or importance to recent price data.

Moving average (MA) a used technical indicator that smooths out price trends by filtering out the “noise” from random short-term price fluctuations. When asset prices cross over their moving averages, it may generate a trading signal for technical traders.

🐳 Watchlists + @unusual_whales 🐳

Unusual Whales is an incredible tool that can take anyone's trading to the next level. It presents a ton of data, which can often be hard to synthesize.

This thread will provide a simplistic approach to analyzing and utilizing flow data. 🌊

1. Where To Start

Start with the "Hot Chains & Tickers" page. Not only does this display the tickers with the most option volume, but it also shows the most active chains. Better yet, you can filter by sector and market cap.

Below are some specific filter examples:


2. Analysis

The "Intraday Analyst" page is your best friend here. The first thing I do is scroll down to the "Most Active Chains" table.

I'm looking for short-term exp. OTM contracts with heavy volume that look "unusual."

Examples are included below:


$LCID - Closed Wed. 11/3 ~$36.50. 40c weeklies required a 10% move in 2 days to go ITM. $LCID closed at $41.80 on Friday.

$AMD - Closed Tues. 11/2 ~$127.60. 130c got hit hard. Closed the week over $136.

$NVDA - Closed Thurs. 10/28 ~249.40, 250c 🔨. Closed Friday ~255.70.

Weekly OTM strikes with heavy volume can lead to huge moves. Now what makes these so unusual?

- OTM with little time to exp. = urgency
- Heavy volume on a certain strike can mean volatility in that area = good for options
- Vol. much greater OTM than ATM = big move possibility

Did you know?

Rani Bhabani was the Queen of Natore, Bengal or 'Natorer Rani' as she was famously called. She made great contributions in Tarapith & renovated Benaras.

In Varanasi, Durga Kund Mandir was constructed by Rani Bhabani in the 18th century.


Born in Chhatimgram village, Bogra District,Her father's name was Atmaram Choudhury.Bhabani was married off to Raja Ramkanta Moitra,the then zamindar of Rajshahi.After his death, Bhabani became the zamindar, and started being referred to as Rani.She was known as Ardhabangeshwari.

A woman as a zamindar was extremely rare in those days, but Rani Bhabani managed the vast Rajshahi zamindari most efficiently and effectively for over four decades.
Maharani Bhavani was very pious in her personal life. She passed her life in a strict disciplined way.


She conducted the administrative work skillfully. As a Maharani she was an impartial judge. Rani Bhavani had a very hard time during the fag end of her life. The Zamindari (estate) incurred serious loss due to the change of the revenue policy of the company.

In spite of being the owner of a large Zamindari (estate), she had to depend on the stipend of the government in the later part of her life. The amount of this stipend gradually decreased and became Rs. 1000/- only in the end.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya


And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...


On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.


Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.


This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.


There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.
