Not much to do since 11th Nov, unless you grabbed $ProShares UltraShort Gold(GLL)$ or $ $United States Natural Gas Fund LP(UNG)$ on the commodities side. Craved for opening week action and attempted $Direxion Daily Energy Bull 2x Shares(ERX)$ and $Direxion Daily Retail Bull 3X Shares(RETL)$ on Monday but was all stopped out. Even $ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.(ZIM)$ current high RVOL breakout from my watchlist doesn’t appeal to me due to its loose price action.Gutted about missing $Netflix(NFLX)$ and

$ACV Auctions Inc.(ACVA)$ - Post Earnings Update (+373% EPS YoY, +44% Sales YoY), From the Strongest Sector, $Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLY)$ I was waiting for a clean high RVOL attempt to break $21.15 pre-earnings since the last post, but the price retraced to the highlighted consolidation range. Post earnings, the price gapped out of this range and is now just below $21.30, showing reduced rate of change in price action over the last two sessions. This is a bullish flag price action behavior. This is a strong name fundamentally, and ACV Auctions is emerging as a momentum stock, increasing its ADR from 2.9% to 3.7% in under 3 weeks. I’ve set a price alert at $21.31, though I’d prefer

I have lots of consideration about this 'end of day' manual stop loss idea when I come across MisterLowRisk sharing it a few months. Here's an additional tactic I’d apply if I were in the U.S. or Europe, though time zone constraints prevent me from doing it:I would close any position with an unrealized loss right before the market closes (i.e., if it’s trading below the entry price, especially when that entry was based on a range breakout). If the trade hasn’t shown traction by day’s end, this approach can give an edge by further reducing R loss. It’s best done near the end of the day to allow the full day range to play out—since a last-hour rally could lift the position if it's below the average price earlier in the day.One downside you need to accept is re-entering an idea on higher entr

I rarely gain nett profit traction with new positions when $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ is at such point we are now;1. 4.6 x ATR% to 50-MA at vs 6 (Yellow Dots)2. 5% Historical % Extension from 50-MA3. 1-Month Nett New High vs New LowAvoid being quick to pull the trigger this week, manage what you already have.Image65% isn't extended but we are already on track to 80% historical extensionImagea hunch for the quote of this week; If you don't sell into strength, you'll end up selling into weakness.Levels for all various indexes and MAs ImageI don't want to be misquoted as calling top😅 but i urge you to do the same exercise on those charts

I don’t share the base template of my spreadsheet because there are already many good, more automated ones available, particularly Google Sheets-based (mine is Excel and a little simplified some may find😅)However, what I strongly recommend is building a spreadsheet tailored to your own trading history and statistics. If you're a low win-rate but high RRR trader like me, the focus should be on improving your losing trades—cutting them quickly and sequentially before hitting the intended stop loss. I wrote often about a simple 33%/66% stop loss accompanied by 33% sizing out at each level I swear by because it's the only optimal solution I could find through the years to enhance R loss reduction but also not destroy profit potential from cutting sizes out too early. By reducing your net R los

I received an overwhelming response and numerous DMs (apologies if my replies are delayed, as I’m working to respond to each message constructively) across platforms, including LinkedIn and IG, about my recent post on the top 100 performing stocks (YTD basis), which included a breakdown of some simple key data. I also expanded the data for everyone's deep dive by sharing the full list of the top 100 % gainers from each year since 2018 without filter. I wish to use this post to clarify in case anyone misinterprets how to apply the ADR% filter in their screening criteria.Here’s an overlay of the historical ADR% indicator highlighting two types of +70% upward moves within the same quarter. I’ve selected four stocks with varying prices, share structures, sector/group, floats, and trading volum

Review the last 20-session $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ vs breadth compilation in the comments—were there any warning signs to today's sell off? (Latest deterioration reflects today’s close)Do comment to expand your thought and analysis or using additional breadth indicators so I can compare them.ImageEven without any technical overextension in indexes or sector ETFs, this is a good review if breadth is the only reliable indicator to spot underlying deterioration beneath the surface this monthIf there’s any debate that yesterday’s move was due to end-of-month trading, which often tends to lead to a sell-off, I have the last 92 end-of-month data points to referenceImageresult for end of month data on SPYImage

The Month-End Review: A Timely ReflectionWith the month ending on a sharp market sell-off, it’s an ideal time to thoroughly review each trade and execution decision from the whole month. Trade by trade, relook at your thought process and decision-making. It can be discouraging to have participated in certain thematic stocks, only to finish flat or even in the red from being too quick to progress our exposure or too comfortable (complacent) —something I suffered myself and a wake up call I need be sharp and not sloppy. It's actually incredibly difficult to trade up the market because everything even on relative weakness has set up as well.Still, there are valuable insights to be gained here that can help refine our trading habits for the long term.
