Let’s say you start with 1k and your win rate is 70%. You take 30% profit and 30% loss fixed. End of 100 trades you net around 45k excluding fees.

If your win rate is 60% you end up with 2k.

What’s the lesson? Be selective and keep your win rate high. You’ll win

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)

Let me start by saying I do get a small kickback on every referral but I only do this for services I use, trust and love. In the following thread I’ll go over what my favorite features are and how I use them.

DARKPOOL:

DP are private exchanges for trading that are not accessible by the investing public. DP came about primarily to facilitate block trading by institutional investors who did not wish to impact the markets with their large orders and obtain worse prices for their trades.

How I use DarkPool with @Tradytics :

Levels. Levels. Levels. I use DarkPool as areas of support/resistance. Ideally I like to find stocks over (calls) or under(puts) large prints. These prints will help keep the stock moving the direction you want. These levels CAN break. See 👇🏼

website puts them on a nice visual graph. This helps get a quick snapshot of the stock price and where that level is with how big it is (in $$). The site gives you sentiment of the print and labels it 🟢 or 🔴

Tradytics DarkPool 2:
You can even scroll down on the site and find more information. It aggregates the prints into a DP levels chart, a graph showing the daily DP amounts and daily sentiment of those prints.

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.

🐳 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
