800% return in less than 4 hours

$QQQ gave a 3-1 setup on the 30min

the outside bar showed a bias for a reversal to the upside, and the inside bar gave the precise entry

i took the entry on the break above the inside bar, with the opposite side as my stop loss

all i had to do was target my levels on the way up

main target was opening print at 608.35.

forever grateful for this skill.

God bless the stock market! 🙏🏾

$TSLA 0DTE contracts ran over 1000% today

and the crazy part is you didn’t need the full move to get paid.

i caught around 300% targeting the gap fill

and secured profits while contracts kept running after.

that’s the part most traders miss

you don’t need a perfect entry.
you don’t need to catch the exact top.

you just need a system,
a plan, and a piece of the move.

@kingov1129 I use my strat scanner on Stratalyst along with news

[primo @TheStrat]

question for traders:

what helped you more?

- learning more setups

- or getting better at waiting for the one setup you already know?

for me, it was a little bit of both but waiting changed everything.

@IamJohnJsmith Tooooo clean 😮‍💨

insane way to close out the week!

[primo @TheStrat]

a lot of people got hit with fomo watching today’s sell-off

but honestly the market was due for a pullback.

everything was getting way too extended and people started getting comfortable

thinking price would just keep going higher every day.

that’s usually when the market does the opposite.

trade what’s in front of you,
not what you feel.

$AVGO overnight swing paid early 🩸

contracts hit 800% before 10:30am.

Stratalyst had the historical data showing the edge

so we built the plan around it and executed.

the market rewards preparation.

@LarroATH Let’s keep cooking! 🤝

[primo @TheStrat]

400%+ move on $IWM today

gamma levels came through heavy once again

we look for the same setups every day

all you have to do is execute.

[primo @TheStrat]

@extrader how do you usually place your stops now?

[primo @TheStrat]

a lot of traders want 500%+ move from weeklies/0DTE option contracts

but panic at a 30% drawdown

those two things don’t go together.

0DTEs and weeklies are volatile by nature

if you want to catch those explosive moves,

you have to understand what you’re trading.

that’s why position sizing matters more than the entry itself sometimes.

size for zero and give the trade a chance to move.

one of the worst feelings as a trader is getting stopped out just to watch the trade run without you after.

[primo @TheStrat]

@MrF2rev yessssir! Gotta love those inside bars.

[primo @TheStrat]

$HOOD with the textbook setup.

we had a double inside bar on the daily and now we have a major catalyst hitting at the same time with the PDT rule officially being removed tomorrow.

that’s exactly the type of combination i look for.

catalyst + actionable price action.

planned this trade during premarket and already had the levels mapped out before the move even started.

i’ll give you the plan and show you exactly how to trade it.

all you have to do is execute.

[primo @TheStrat]

@extrader which parts are you struggling with?

[primo @TheStrat]

@extrader Strat only, I’ve never studied or learned ICT.

I’ve heard a lot of great things in regards to ICT but the Strat keeps it simple so I always stick to that.

[primo @TheStrat]

@extrader another level i marked on the 1HR time frame

[primo @TheStrat]

@MrF2rev less is more

[primo @TheStrat]

it’s part of The Strat, which simplifies price action.

the numbers just describe what type of candle is forming based on price action.

1 = inside bar
2 = directional candle
3 = outside bar

so a 3-1-2 is basically an outside bar followed by an inside bar, then a directional break.

the indicator just helps visualize the candle combinations

[primo @TheStrat]

$IWM gave 135%+ return in minutes off a 3-1-2U on the 30 minute.

what made the setup high probability was the timing.

we had JOLTs report hit at 10am and this actionable signal formed at the exact same time.

the catalyst brought the volatility

all you had to do was execute.
