[Deniz The Trader @DenizTheTrader]

✅ Trust your plans.
✅ Trust your system.

❌ Don’t trust your emotions.
❌ Don’t trust others' opinions.

[Sean trades @SRxTrades]

I always get asked how to differentiate between a momentum move and chasing stocks

the best way to keep yourself in check is to use the 8 EMA

the 8 EMA is the best tool for momentum gauging

then check what the stocks ADR(average daily range) is

if the stock is over twice the ADR away from the 8 EMA you are most likely chasing and should wait for a retest

the closer the stock is to the 8 day the better your entry is and the more likely you get follow through on a move

if you feel like you have a ton of fomo and end up losing out chasing stocks...

always remember stocks don't go straight up they will literally always pull in

buy off the key moving averages or when price tightness up

you will double your win rate doing this.

Timing is everything in trading 👇

1. Market Timing
Only trade when the odds are in your favor. A simple rule: trade when the NASDAQ is above a rising EMA 21. Advanced traders rely on a full Market Trend Model—like the one we use.

2. Entry Timing
Wait for high-probability setups: tight consolidations, volatility contractions, volume dry-ups near breakout levels. These offer strong risk-reward. I’ve taught this exact method to thousands of traders.

3. Exit Timing
You won’t sell at the top—but you can stay in long enough to capture the bulk of a move. A simple trailing stop, like the EMA 21, can help you ride trends and lock in profits. Other selling techniques like a Climax Top is a big plus.

4. Mindset Timing
Your mental state matters. You need to be in your performance zone to execute well. If you’re off—don’t trade. Discipline includes knowing when not to act.

[Oliver Wiedmaier @Ollie_AllCaps]

Most people learn by seeing how things work.

So when a trader is feeling lost and anxious, telling them to “just have conviction” or “never give up” doesn’t really do much. It’s not helpful.

That’s why I focus on giving real context and details in my content—so the why behind a setup actually makes sense. Once you get the why, you can start building a system that fits you.

Having a mentor like @PradeepBonde was gane changing for me. He breaks down the small stuff that really matters. That’s why I—and so many others—were able to take what he taught and run with it. He’s a master of the little things that make a big difference.

[Oliver Wiedmaier @Ollie_AllCaps]

I have immense respect for @Qullamaggie, but many who study him miss the real lesson.

If you take his content at face value, you’ll never find success on your own. His true teaching is this: find your own way.

His success with ORBs on EPs comes from a his own studying and deep dives—a level of understanding others can’t replicate. That’s why building your own system is the ultimate takeaway.

Valuable insights from market wizard and systematic trader @mars10p during his interview by @chatwithtraders

I was not aware of him trading breakouts/breakdowns on high-volume stocks since the 90s. Very similar to the strategy we presented in our awarded paper

A Profitable Day Trading Strategy for the U.S. Equity Market.

Some promising ideas to extend the paper’s results are already saved in my notebook.

A vast majority of my tactical entries into the ADXpress and ADXtender setups revolve around these core intraday patterns on the hourly. These would essentially be "wedge pops" and "base'n'breaks" on the hourly timeframe, for those familiar with Kell's model.

There's nothing magical about this. I'm using volalility, liquidity, momentum, relative strength, and linearity to narrow the universe of stocks. From there it's simply just multi-timeframe trading - using the bigger picture setups (ADXpress and ADXtender on the daily), while using lower timeframe tactical entries (wedgepop and base'n'break on the hourly).

I use intraday bollingerbands extensively as well since they are very scannable criteria. You can use whatever tactical entry you please as long as you can consistently get in at inflection points that will give your regularly outsized rewards vs risk.

Then the only thing left is modulating my aggressiveness (risk per trade and number of positions) based on market backdrop and how my positions are performing.

I created a basic indicator to signal 10/21ema moving average crossovers. Something I like to be aware of for trend change.

Here it is on $UBER

[Kyle @kyletrades_]

Reducing randomness in trading and finding market leaders seems very complicated on the surface but it's actually quite simple, especially if you have the correct tools for it. No need to spend hundreds or thousands on scans, special software, services, etc. All you need is readily attainable and more simple than you think.

Alongside a few blanket parameters I use like ADR and dollar volume, there is one calculation I use that gives me exactly what I'm looking for:

Price as a % of 52wk Highs: 100 * c / maxh252

This simple filter allows you to find names that are near their highs, defying market gravity. The higher the number, the stronger the stock.

Step 1:
Want to find what industries are strong? Look no further. When the market pulls back, which are at the top of the list? Which are back to 100% the quickest? These are the industries you want to pay attention to.

Step 2:
If you look at Internet Content & Information, once again, I'm using the same filter. Price as a % of 52Wk highs. Here are your leading stocks in this leading industry. If I remove the ADR > 3 filter, I can see some of the larger market cap names that hold a lot of weight, but they are too slow for my liking. Regardless, you aren't just buying whatever is spit out at the top of the list. You still need a setup.

In a broad perspective, disregarding industry, you can see which stocks are leading that trade over X in dollar volume and have an ADR over 3, you guessed it; by using Price as a % of 52Wk Highs.

I don't even bother looking at something that isn't over 60%, which I have set as a minimum, and probably should be even higher than that, but all of a sudden thousands of stocks are reduced to a few hundred, and if you adjust thresholds for ADR and Dollar Volume to your specific needs, there may be even less.

When the market pulled back, I was laser focused on the stocks that ranked high on my list. These names showed RS, had a setup, and were in strong industries. $CRWD $ZS $MOD $VRT $SCS $ONTO $NTNX

Now this isn't the end all be all, even if I position myself in these leaders, I still need the market to follow through. And so far things are looking good, but who can say what will happen weeks or months from now which will ultimately pay me.
