I couldn't agree more with @1ChartMaster!
Every night I run a scanner looking for recent earnings gappers, large movers, and stocks showing unusual relative strength. If they belong to a strong theme, sector, or narrative, they immediately go onto a watchlist where I simply wait for tightness and a setup that fits my system.
This has genuinely been one of the biggest drivers of my momentum this year.
1) Find early strength.
2) Build a large list.
3) Be patient.
4) Execute.
5) Pay-tience.
& repeat!
$ONDS (Update) +10.5% day on entry (+3R first day)
9% ADR name, 140% RVOL on $700 mil avg dollar vol but first M30 ORH is less than 40% LoD.
All 3 ingredients are what @Qullamaggie preached for 7 years in his stream. Be a sniper to execute at the most optimal entry condition.

Quote of the Day:
"Focus on tight ranges. Doesn't matter what time frame. Tight ranges is all you should focus on. Wide and loose is for losers and tight is for winners."
—@Qullamaggie
@Qullamaggie was the reason I started diving deep into the importance of ADR%, volume run rate (his vol buzz) and LoD <ATR entries to sharpen my performance. He wouldn’t have repeated the same concepts across every streams for 7 years without reason.
I wasn’t as focused on copying the exact setups (many tradable long based setups have the same context as @markminervini@DanZanger@dryan310 concept, but i was more interested in understanding the thought process behind his volatility based stock selection and entry criteria.
Stock selection alone can skew win rate statistics and it’s your consistency in decision making across 10,000 trades that truly reflects performance and edge — and also to be paired with the right situational awareness of course.
I am still trying to improve, I feel I am so way behind in terms of perfecting some volume based concept still
Every day, try to develop greater clarity about setups. process, entries, exits, stops, sizing, timeframes, and catalysts.
The more you reorganize the knowledge and spend time understanding the setup, the easier it will be to implement.
This requires real dedication to repeatedly revisit a setup, reclarify, and reset your mind.
When you immerse yourself in this, one day it clicks, and then suddenly everything starts working.
Through more reflection and revisiting the same idea, the idea becomes part of you.
And whenever we engage in such purposeful mind-clarity efforts in any field, it always results in significant money.
Depth creates wealth.
Jensen Huang just said AI will create more millionaires in 5 years than the Internet did in 20.
Here are ten stocks that could create millionaires by 2030:
1. $NBIS - Nebius Group
Q1 revenue $399M, up 684% YoY. AI cloud revenue up 841% YoY to $390M. Secured 1.2 GW of power for a new AI factory in Pennsylvania. Full-year 2026 guidance of $3-3.4B. Growing faster than almost any AI infrastructure company in the market right now.
Many leaders approaching the 21-EMA for the first time since the powerful rally off the bottom.

My Dan Zanger deep dive is available for free, based on only free materials.
Several people DMed me, offering access to Dan’s old newsletters, but I declined. Copyright issues aside, I really wanted to prove just how much you can learn from what’s freely available online.
Individual sources are all linked in my write-up (https://t.co/UVtcDAVmsx), but for convenience, here’s a list of the key resources I used.
Dan’s own website, containing various written interviews (2000–2010)
https://t.co/upm796AY8D
Written interview with the CMT Association (2009)

Probably Dan’s best interview, and certainly the highest WWR one (2005)
Part 1: https://t.co/Hy6DKfc7YT
Part 2: https://t.co/ZKgj9VAcQb
Very good longer spoken interview from 2016

More recent spoken interviews on Spotify (2018 & 2020)

2020: https://t.co/YofXQWEQ2B
A few live broadcasts Dan did, with this being the most interesting IMO (because you can feel just how much he’d improved at environmental awareness/trading less; from 2015)

The ‘catch’ is that going through this stuff takes a LOT of time and effort. But that’s also a good thing. The *intentionality* this type of exercise requires is what makes a study method effective.
Plus, an edge, by definition, involves doing things of value others can’t or won’t do. And when it comes to information in the public domain, the edge must come from what you do with it.
As Dan said: you can lead someone to water, but you can’t make them drink.
I just released a new video on YouTube!
$MU +66% in 19 days. Going over what caught my eye and the repeatable edge/entry tactic that shows up on the charts prior to the run.

You want to know a secret that changed my mentality around money?
Scenario: April 1st your portfolio was 100k and we went on this magical run where it climbed up to 140k as of yesterdays close. Then a day like today comes along and you happened to get stopped on all your positions and you are now sitting at 130k. Did you lose 7.14% today or is your portfolio up 30% in a month?
Unrealized gains ARE NOT YOURS. They belong to the market! If you want to mitigate volatility, trim into extensions. But if you are going to stress out about every down day as if the money was yours on an open position, you'll never truly be able to scale up comfortably.
Treat every new buy or sell based on it's individual price action. And stop looking at your portfolio value every evening as if the money on open positions belongs to you. Checking portfolio value every 10min only leads to emotional and sloppy execution when you look at the whole and not the individual parts.
If stock A is still acting great then it shouldn't be sold just because you took a small loss on stock B. Exit stock B and continue to let stock A work for its own merits. The minute you start to make emotional decisions because of money is when you ruin your chances at real growth.
An exercise that has helped me a ton is looking at big trends on the daily chart.
The weekly chart of $SNDK looks like an easy hold in hindsight. Looking at both trends on the daily you can see in realtime was much harder. Almost half of the days were red with some days -10%.
If you hyper focus on % moves and giving back unrealized profits instead of overall structure it is impossible to ever have a chance at riding a monster stock.
$APP was one of my best trades and hardest lessons.
$13 to $80. It aggressively shook me out before ripping to $600+
I could have bought it back but didn’t think much of it at the time. After studying charts I realized shakeouts themselves are a major signal and what makes a stock now become my top priority.
The way to spot potential new leaders is focus on names setting up big weekly and monthly bases or names that just exploded out of big weekly and monthly bases.
$DOCN $FSLY $AEHR $AMPX $UUUU $CIFR $IREN $APLD $MP $REMX $USAR $CRML $MRVL and many more.
My $SNDK trades lately . . . Missed this name at the turn in early April so had to deal w earnings without a big cushion so raised stops aggressively into report.
Took little undercut on 4/22 @ $899+, raised stop prior to earnings under $1000- at $994.90, was stopped +10%, rebought post earnings Thursday evening @ $1011-, already up 25%. Absolute monster stock, was glad to get a chance in this again.
"The three ingredients for an episodic pivot are a major news item, a big gap up, & a huge increase in volume.
When all 3 conditions are met, a stock can experience an explosive price move, especially in a bull market environment."

Market Wizards, The Next Gen
I cannot get over these monthly charts...in $CIFR $IREN $UUUU $MP
They are making me antsy, and making the hair on the back of my neck stick up.
$CIFR earnings before the open tomorrow
$UUUU earnings Wednesday
$MP $IREN earnings Thursday
MASSIVE bases, compute, nuclear, and rare earth theme, $MP Gov investment, and $AAPL partnership.
We have potentially perfect catalysts that could send some of these names on the next 1-2-year move.
In 2020 @Qullamaggie traded $3.5 Million into $36 Million
$APT was one of the best early trades. He caught both the Episodic Pivot trade and the Parabolic short.
He noticed the huge volume coming in after the US case. That was the tell
In late Feb it rose 650% in 1 Week alone
