Swing trader, profitable since '24. Sharing my journey. Theme, charts, price & volume. US equities. Stacking small wins creates large gains.

Swing trading is basically digital gardening. 🌷

Just like tulips, your "bloom" window - making those peak gains - is usually very short. If you don't hit your entries and exits within that specific timeframe, you’re left holding a dead flower.

This one's got the look $AMBQ

What's your grade of this setup, on a scale from 1-10?

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

"According to the company’s press release, its board has approved a strategic plan focused on lunar resource development to enable quantum computing and semiconductor manufacturing on the Moon."

Sure enough! We are going to the moon, baby! 😂

The action in this market makes you feel like an idiot if you sell early. $AAOI

Sometimes the best trading move is stepping away to gain perspective.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

@satoritrade The pullback is too deep for my liking (50% of prior move) but looks like we are bouncing off twice the $4 level - double bottom formation. Last green candle is a bullish outside reversal, indication higher prices.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

@Trade_4_Freedom I like it too - nice stairstepping higher. The company holds SpaceX equity from spectrum sales deal - and the SpaceX IPO is expected in Q2 it seems.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

@Scot1andT Agreed NBIS short term extended here, no chasing. We should get a new pattern here in the next few weeks to provide another low risk entry point for those not already in - like myself 😭

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

I have been guilty of chasing entries in my early years - don't fall for this mistake.

Hot markets are forgiving and reward chasing.

But what makes money in a hot market is exactly what loses money in a weak market.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

@TedHZhang 💯 but truth be said, the importance of your statement that only reveals itself once the tape changes again. We are now on a market that rewards chasing. If chasing makes money now, it is exactly what loses money once that tape flips again.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

I use a Notion stock database. AI can help screening, but recognizing a big winner - at the beginning of the move, when it's not obvious - requires having a feel of price and volume. That come from experience. what's normal vs what is outstanding is only seen in context. I'd make the point that traders need to do the screen time work themselves to be able to catch a winner early.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

These are all in my green A watchlist. Have been looking back at charts of CIEN LITE etc to see when the move started and wondered how I missed the beginning.
CIEN extremely strong, went very far already in the last months, you wonder how far it can keep going. Granted late stage can double quickly, but vs NBIS, which is near base, what makes you prefer the fiber optics names at current levels?

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

I have been there with you - thesis 140+. long futures - ended up getting stopped out for small gains.l but giving back most profit.
Looking back at charts, previous major crisis also had lots of chop for multiple weeks. Based on chart history, and the issue on the ground, I'd argue we see a resumption of momentum and a spike above previous highs before this is truly over.

One of my favourite follows on X for motivational quotes. It is remarkable how some posts seem to apply directly to the world of trading.

Your current struggle is just one chapter, not the whole story. Keep showing up!

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

@satoritrade The challenge is for a newbie traders there is no such thing as ideal setup. To be able to differentiate a good setup from a bad one, you need to have developed a concept of trading setups, seen many examples and have a playbook for each.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

Deepgram recently raised $130 million at a $1.3 billion valuation, and ElevenLabs raised $500 million at an $11 billion valuation, which tells you where serious capital is flowing in the category.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

Twilio $TWLO - the stock is quitly shaping up and printing higher lows while other software names have been making lower lows.

A thread 🧵

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and PolyAI, all Voice AI companies which have had meaningful funding or market attention tied to voice synthesis, speech recognition, and contact-center automation.

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

Are there any other Voice AI stocks? I can't find any but the story can be corrobarated by looking at private sector:

[Intrepitrade @intrepitrade]

Remember Soundhound AI $SOUN? The first pure play Voice AI stock - which had two big runs in 2024, then regained strength in 2025. The stock collapsed alongside software and looks dead now, but it proved the popularity of the Voice AI story.

SOUN was also one of my first large winners.
