Once you learn how to exploit volatility, the idea of settling for 5% or 10% gains will feel like leaving money on the table. Volatility is an opportunity generator and when you understand how to harness its power, you can unlock moves that deliver outsized returns while keeping…
Feels like the perfect moment for me to revisit this from @markminervini.
I used to rarely find myself in 30, 50, or 100%+ moves, but I find them all the time now, in sometimes days or weeks. That's because I had to get rid of preconceived notions about "quality" or "good" or "trash" or "speculative". Volatility often equates to uncertainty. The…
youtube.com/watch?v=SBFPgb… Qullamaggie: "When you have stock with extreme volatility that gets really tight, usually that tightness is followed by volatility. If you study hundreds of examples of this, you'll understand. It's the same movie over and over again." I'll try to start…
I've talked about this numerous times, but I'm looking to buy a stock that is coming out of a compression area. I want to buy as it's moving out of this area on strong price/volume action. For me, I use the bollingerband width to help me "see" this volatility contraction. My…

While still at the top of the RS list, Tech is clearly starting to lag here after weeks of outperformance. Areas like materials, utilities, and industrials have all but caught up. Something to watch for the tech space.
New positions - $WOLF good follow-through, $UAVS doing decent, $RR trying to gap out of this range but not following through yet, $DPRO small starter, will add if follows through.
No matter how good of a year I have and no matter how consistent I am, in real-time its super messy. I make tons of great decisions, and tons of stupid decisions. Even good years have tons of mistakes in them. I do the best that I can in real-time as things unfold. And I know by…

Read this section from Mark Boucher until it's burned in your brain. While most traders hyperfocus on tactics and indicators, the first order of business is identifying runaway "markets" (stocks). Only after you've found the strongest, fastest horses should you even consider…
Most technical analysis methods are rooted in one or more of the 4 key "principles of price action". 1. Markets alternate between range expansion and range contraction. Markets are dynamic entities that oscillate between periods of range expansion and range contraction. This…
Just a few positions at this point. Setups are scarce and some sector rotation is evident. Tech is still leading so smoke 'em if you got 'em.
