Market Wizard Linda Raschke's 12 Technical Trading Rules
1. Buy the first pullback after a new high. Sell the first rally after a new low.
2. Afternoon strength or weakness should have follow‑through the next day.
3. The best trading reversals occur in the morning, not the afternoon.
4. The larger the market gaps, the greater the odds of continuation and a trend.
5. The way the market trades around the previous day’s high or low is a good indicator of the market’s technical strength or weakness.
6. The previous day’s high and low are two very important “pivot” points, for this was the definitive point where buyers or sellers came in the day before. Look for the market to either test and reverse off these points, or push through and show signs of continuation.
7. The last hour often tells the truth about how strong a trend truly is. “Smart money” shows their hand in the last hour, continuing to mark positions in their favor. As long as a market is having consecutive strong closes, look for the up‑trend to continue. The up‑trend is most likely to end when there is a morning rally first, followed by a weak close.
8. High volume on the close implies continuity the next morning in the direction of the last half‑hour. In a strongly trending market, look for resumption of the trend in the last hour.
9. The first hour’s range establishes the framework for the rest of the trading day.
10. A greater percentage of the day’s range occurs in the first hour than was the case in the past, and thus it has become increasingly important to trade aggressively if there are early signs of a strong trend for the day.
11. There are four basic principles of price behavior which have held up over time. Confidence that a type of price action is a true principle is what allows a trader to develop a systematic approach.
The following four principles can be modeled and quantified and hold true for all time frames, all markets. The majority of patterns or systems that have a demonstrable edge are based on one of these four enduring principles of price behavior. Charles Dow was one of the first to touch on them in his writings.
Principle One: A Trend Has a Higher Probability of Continuation than Reversal
Principle Two: Momentum Precedes Price
Principle Three: Trends End in a Climax
Principle Four: The Market Alternates between Range Expansion and Range Contraction
In the world of money, which is a world shaped by human behavior, nobody has the foggiest notion of what will happen in the future. Mark that word – Nobody! Thus the successful trader does not base moves on what supposedly will happen but reacts instead to what does happen.
@TheOneLanceB Actually, it is refreshing to see consistent p&l posted. That is why Ross and Max are two of the real ones despite Ross front running and Max no longer having edge. At least they are both transparent. If you do not post p&l, I do not believe you despite what you say and claim.

@TheOneLanceB Just curious if you think there is edge scalping for less than $250K net annual on a single large cap such as TSLA each year? ... and especially if you have that much in equity before leverage?
@Switterman Does HTF structure become bullish in your example simply by breaking DTL/HR, or breaking followed by confirmation of a higher high? As you know, often times levels are broken only to be stuffed by a heavy seller or buyer sitting right above/below the level.
I wonder if @ScottWapnerCNBC plans to give the same treatment to those who were involved with FTX as he did those involved with Voyager? Blindsiding and putting them on the hot seat? Unless it was just personal? Time will tell.
@PradeepBonde Let's organize better and work on mind clarity, EG. A little creativity and innovation with that routine will make the job much easier turning the tire vertical. 😂
