I'm a big believer of less is more in trading
Most people could remove 99% of their indicators and actually do better
All you need is:
-Price action
-Volume
-Moving averages
Everything else is noise, and is likely harming you more than doing good.
Keep it simple.
More and more, I value the phrase “Do more of what you love.” Focus on and prioritize the activities, passions, and relationships that bring you joy, fulfillment, and peace.
That and stop giving a shit what others think. You’re gonna get judged anyway, so do what brings you joy.
If I could leave you with one thing going into the next few weeks...
Its learn the undercut and rally strategy:
The Undercut & Rally (U&R) is one of the most powerful price action setups in momentum trading.
Most traders see a breakdown.. but this is a strong opportunity
In simple terms a UnR is a failed breakdown
Here's a deep dive into why it works, and what the market is actually telling you when it appears:
First, let's understand what an undercut actually is...
An undercut occurs when a stock trades below a prior significant low.
This could be:
• A recent swing low
• A major support level
• A breakout pivot
• A moving average support zone
• The low of a consolidation
Most traders assume lower prices are coming & that's exactly why the setup works.
Markets are designed to create the maximum amount of pain.
When a stock breaks support, several things happen simultaneously:
• Longs panic and sell
• Stop losses get triggered
• Short sellers enter positions
• Sentiment quickly turns bearish
This creates a wave of supply.
The market now has exactly what large buyers need:
Liquidity.
This is where most traders misunderstand institutional behavior.
Large funds cannot simply buy millions of dollars worth of stock whenever they want.
They need sellers.
They need liquidity.
They need shares available for purchase.
An undercut creates that liquidity.
This leads to a trap for sellers...
The most important part of the UnR.. is the reclaim part
Because a break below support doesn't guarantee the setup will work, the reclaim part is what really gets the stock moving the other way
Just like a failed breakout, traps a ton of buyers and reverses.. the UnR does the same thing the other way.
Once price moves back above the prior support level, the entire psychology of the trade changes.
The breakdown has officially failed.
The market is telling you that sellers lost control.
Now think about who is trapped.
You have three groups:
Group 1:
The traders who sold their shares during the breakdown.
Group 2:
The traders whose stops were triggered.
Group 3:
The traders who initiated short positions expecting further downside.
Every one of those groups can become future buyers.
This creates a powerful demand imbalance.
The best U&Rs create what is known as a "short-term vacuum."
There are no longer many sellers left.
-Weak holders have already exited.
-Stops have already been triggered.
The breakdown participants are trapped.
As price rises, buying pressure increases while selling pressure decreases.
This often leads to sharp momentum moves.
Not all U&Rs are equal.
The highest-quality setups usually occur:
-In strong market environments
-In leading stocks
-Near key moving averages
-Following constructive consolidations
Context matters.
A U&R in a market leader is very different from a U&R in a weak stock making new yearly lows.
One thing I've noticed over years of studying charts:
-The strongest stocks rarely make it easy.
-They shake people out first.
-They create doubt.
-They create fear.
....Then they move higher.
Many of the biggest winners in the market have produced multiple undercut and rally setups throughout their trends.
Study enough charts and you'll start seeing them everywhere.
Once you understand the psychology behind the pattern, you'll never look at a support break the same way again.
We have a ton of stocks setting up for potential UnR's in the coming days/weeks.. knowing how to enter these can you get into the best stocks with very low risk.
A good exercise today.
After only 2mo out of this FTD look at only weekly charts today of all the current leaders. Then look at all the model book stocks in the beginning of “How to Make $ in Stocks” over 100yrs.
You’ll probably realize the leaders have already shown themselves and likely have a lot more gas after only 2mo.
We can get so caught up in smaller time frames but a name like $ARM on that weekly just broke out of a multi yr base is more likely to go a lot higher w normal pullbacks to kma’s along the way.
If you missed them you’re likely better off focusing on set ups in them whenever that happens vs laggards w potentially better looking set ups, just my opinion.

I felt really lost the past few years of losing some important people in my life.
I realized as someone who doesn’t have kids that my life purpose was to help people.
Seeing I’m only good and 2 things- Jiu Jitsu & trading, here we are. I tought a lot of BJJ last 2 yrs and starting sharing my trading process here has given me so much fulfillment.
Be grateful and give back if you feel lost.

The market environment is always subtly changing and you want to get in sync with it. When I am I try to protect that feeling at all costs. Sometimes I get out of sync even in a good market.
Maybe I keep trying to trade a group too long before realizing it hasn’t been in favor. I’m late on rotation so make some sloppy buys to catch up… then market pulls back and stops me out.
That pullback is probably the great entry but I’m not going to buy because I just got stopped out from chasing. And the only reason I chased is because weeks ago I did and it worked. If I didn’t chase I would have missed the other trades.
Now I’m out of sync. It’s a bad spot to be in and my priority becomes getting back in sync.
The wrong way to go about it is to keep placing sloppy trades focusing on getting my account back to highs. Sloppy random trades are going to give sloppy random results and at the point you can start to spiral or just stay stuck.
The right way to go about it is to slow down wait for top tier entries or don’t take it at all. If any position has been frustrating and taking up mental space get rid of it.
Last year I felt out of sync so just blew out all my positions to refresh and think clearly from scratch.
To get back into a rhythm you have to slow down and be intentional with your decisions. It’s easy to get stuck feeling behind and in a rush to catch up but trading from that pov you are at a disadvantage before you even place a trade.
