Its been an incredibly challenging market... Honestly blessed to even be green Feels like a fight for every penny Ill always keep it transparent through good, bad, and in between I'm not perfect I don't claim to be I'm always trying to get better If you are having a hard time just know you're not alone Sometimes it feels like nothing is working, and in the blink of an eye things can change The most important thing is to never give up Because Eventually a "bad month" will be a month you used to dream about...

Closed out a few positions today $HPEL about 10% from my buy $ARM +50% on calls off the ugly close gap up $FTNT +25% on the breakout As much as id love to hold onto winners as long as possible.. The environment is clearly telling me to trim heavier and adapt As always trim and trail Focus is to grab high quality names on weakness into the key moving averages

$NBIS This stock loves putting in a big weekly base and then running for multiple weeks... Setting up similarly to the run in April Massive weekly base off the 50 week EMA Through $250, can get it moving

$PURR Love the way this one is shaping up right above the previous high break Tight flag right off the 8 EMA... Through 14.5, can get moving

$HPE On the verge of a massive breakout... Some relative strength in the last few sessions Needs to get through $65 with volume Setup looks insane.

$ARM Some weakness today, but I don't think this trade is over... A pullback to the 8/10 EMA's and it can set back up for a leg higher

$INTC Textbook uptrend higher... -Wedge pop and breakout -EMA cross back -Now starting a strong leg higher This wants $140+

$META Massive monthly breakout From compressions comes expansion remember this

A lot of your trading problems don’t actually start with trading. If you constantly procrastinate, why would you suddenly prepare your watchlist every night? If you never stick to commitments, why would you suddenly respect your stop loss? If you make emotional decisions when things don’t go your way, why would that change when real money is involved? If you’re always looking for shortcuts, you’ll eventually look for shortcuts in the market too. The market has a funny way of exposing your habits. Discipline isn’t something you turn on at 9:30 AM and turn off at 4 PM. The habits you build away from the charts eventually show up on them. Become disciplined in life and trading becomes a lot easier to execute.

The most important thing I've learned: Trading is all about STACKING PROBABILITIES A good chart setup is important BUT A good chart setup by itself isn't enough You can find the cleanest bull flag in the market... Perfect consolidation Perfect volume patterns Perfect breakout level But ask yourself: WHY should this stock go higher? This is where I think a lot of traders go wrong They become so focused on finding the perfect technical setup that they completely ignore everything happening around the stock... I want multiple things working in my favor: -Is the overall market supportive? -Is the sector/group showing strength? -Is there a strong theme attracting attention and capital? -Is this stock one of the LEADERS within that theme? -Has it already shown relative strength? -Is there a clean technical setup? -Is there an actual catalyst/story giving traders a reason to care about the stock? Now you're not relying on ONE thing being right Think about the difference: Setup A: Beautiful bull flag But the sector is weak No theme No volume Stock has been underperforming No real reason for money to flow into it. VS. Setup B: Beautiful bull flag Leading stock Leading sector Strong theme Relative strength Institutional volume patterns Market conditions supportive Clear catalyst/story Which situation gives you more confluence to work with? That's what I mean by stacking probabilities None of these things guarantee a trade will work You can have everything lined up perfectly and still be wrong But trading isn't about certainty It's about repeatedly putting yourself in situations where multiple factors are aligned instead of relying on a single pattern. Don't just scan for pretty charts: -Find out where the money is flowing -Find the themes -Find the strongest groups -Find the leaders within those groups THEN look for your setup. Market → Theme → Sector/Group → Leader → Setup → Volume → Confirmation The more pieces that align, the stronger the case becomes. Stop looking for ONE reason to take a trade Start looking for reasons that STACK

I haven’t been super busy putting on a bunch of new positions this week, but the green light keeps getting confirmed by the names that ARE working. Groups are heating back up! For right now now we sit tight and see how they close out the week. Chart: $MSFT, $HPE, $AMD & $NOW.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but you WONT get rich by hitting 1 big trade However You will get rich: -When you build a proper system -When you build stronger discipline -When you start managing your risk -When you start sharpening your skills -When you get more intentional with your time Day after day after day... Success doesn't come overnight Its a series of small improvements overtime & Staying consistent to 1 thing Once you can do this, then you will be RICH

$STX Setting up in a massive daily base... Failed breakdown lower in the summer Incredible strength over the last few sessions--tight inside day today 937 line in the sand it needs to break over

$TXN Massive weekly breakout now setting up in a tight weekly flag off the 50 week EMA Analog semi names starting to shape back up Break through 274, can get it moving

How to know which stocks are going to move

One of my favorite entries in the market: Buying pullbacks on leading stocks using the 30 minute pivot, learned this concept from @1ChartMaster A lot of traders know how to find strong stocks... The problem is they have no idea WHERE to enter them They either: -Chase the initial breakout -Buy randomly during the pullback -Or wait so long that they miss the next move This is where the 30-minute pivot can become extremely useful. First, I want to identify a LEADER I'm looking for a stock that has already proven itself: Broke out of a major base Expanded on strong volume Made a multi-day move higher Is outperforming the market/sector Is trading in a clear uptrend Then I wait. I don't want to chase a stock that's extended from its moving averages. I want to see it PULL BACK and give me another setup. Ideally, that pullback starts becoming controlled: -Selling volume decreases -Candles tighten up -Price starts respecting the 8/21 EMA -The stock stops making aggressive moves lower Then I drop down to the 30-minute chart What I'm looking for is a clear pivot to develop... The first 30m green candle that forms off the key moving averages tells me that buyers are regaining control If price can break that 30-minute pivot with strength... I'm no longer trying to GUESS where the pullback ends I'm allowing PRICE to show me that momentum may be shifting back toward the direction of the larger trend My process comes down to this: Daily chart = tells me WHAT I want to watch. 8/21 EMA = tells me WHERE I want to pay attention 30-minute pivot = helps me identify WHEN momentum is potentially returning That combination keeps the process simple Leader + Pullback + Key EMA + Tightness + 30-minute pivot Instead of chasing strength on extension I want to let the stock come to me, build a structure, and then wait for confirmation. You don't need to catch the exact bottom of every pullback. You need a repeatable process for identifying when the stock is starting to act right again.

The length and quality of my watchlist continue to improve Markets are going higher, with so many reasons to go lower... This rally remains hated Breadth oversold Yet the Nasdaq is a few cents off all time highs A ton of incredible opportunities are coming Be ready.

$SMCI Cant get much better than this: -Earnings ignition move -Low volume consolidation off the 50 EMA -Right side of the base getting -Strong group and theme -Tight inside day Through $42, gets it moving.
