I used to overcomplicate all of this. Unlearning bad habits takes time. Be patient with yourself.

Everyone loves this advice: "Good trades come to you."

Let me tell you why that's complete bullshit.

Good trading opportunities don't sit around waiting for you to notice them. They have tiny entry windows. If you're being "zen" and passive, you're just being late.

Here's what actually happens:

You scan 50+ stocks and narrow it down to 5 you'll actually watch.
You draw up a real plan. Entries. Stops. Targets.
You execute fast when the setup triggers ( good trades give you a short window )
You hold through the drawdown. That's when everyone else sells.
You don't get shaken out when it tests your conviction

"Let the trades come to you" sounds wise on Social media. It keeps you broke in real life.

60% of my best trades dont come to me. I go to them.

I hunt setups every single day. Build watchlists every week. Wait for confirmation. Execute immediately when it shows up.

Patience matters. But so does aggression when opportunity appears.
Being passive doesn't make you disciplined. It makes you late to every move.

This is reality. Everyone actually making money knows this.

Next 5-10% sell off will come.
And yes it will be short lived

Trump can’t stop it.

Yields- Sending a loud message.

Good thing- There were dozen 50-100% winners which happened, process driven people capitalized on it

Best thing- You’re going to get an opportunity.

Your job is to know the levels for indices. Deploy cash.
And relax

Put things into perspective...

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

Everyone wants to be in the right stocks.
What gone is gone. Start looking for the next one.

After reviewing- Here are 15 stocks I like from different technical angles. Most are allowing good technical entries:

21EMA pullback & Bullish consolidation:

$AAOI $LITE $TSEM $TER $COHR $TER $AEHR

Big Breakouts:

$NVTS $BKSY $TE

Space stocks & Bullish consolidation

$SATS $PL $SATL

Healthcare stocks:

$SLS $IBRX $ARWR

Only need 4-5 of them to make 5 years of gains.
This is how we caught $INTC $MRVL $DELL $RKLB $WULF $CIFR $HUT

@ChartGuys Thanks to one of your videos, we planted aspargus seeds 4 years ago. They are delicious!!

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

Semis made their move
$INTC $MRVL $DELL $AMD $CRDO

Rare earth names are next and ready
$USAR $UAMY $MP $UUUU

You don’t chase what already ran.
You find what’s early,
take positions with good risk/reward,
and let the trend do the heavy lifting.

Most capital isn’t made from being right alone, you have to participate early.

@AlexsOptions @__ERAZ__ I played CVNA on the weekly/monthly a few weeks ago. also played it in Nov - and rode it all the way to the top of that BF. It went back down and that's when I entered again- let's see if it goes back to the top. Green trade no matter what.

Take 12 minutes this weekend to brush up. It can help u make a living in the markets.

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

By the time a stock starts showing up on my feed, its already too late.

this is where finding them early tilts the odds in your favor

$INTC $MRVL $ON $GEV $ARM $DELL $NBIS $CRDO $HUT $WULF $AMD had the same thing happen. Only a few people were paying attention, and thats where you want to catch them at.

when the stock trades 50% higher, everyone will talk about it - want an entry.

when everyone is looking at them- its time to start finding next batch. And now I am seeing $IREN $CIFR $UUUU and $MRNA

[Prof @TheProfInvestor]

My entire buying strategy comes down to three steps:

trending on weekly
pullback to key moving average
consolidation breakout near 21EMA

that's it. everything else is noise.

Stick to these and you'll have better entries, zero fomo, actual discipline.
