My goal this year is not chasing stocks, trying to purchase at less than half an ADR% range so I can size up and surpass S&P.

$PLTR Earnings flag→gap-down undercut off 10ema on 15mins pivot entry. 2.2% stop loss at lod

@RichardMoglen @ShakePryzby1 How much profit cushion does he need to hold a stock through earnings

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$AEHR Inside day yesterday. Took off high and waited for 15 min pivot for entry.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$HPE First breakout entry on 8/4 failed. 8/6 U/R entry was stoped cuz entry was little too late S/L was too tight. Re-tried on 8/7 enter with 5min confirming lower high on 5 mins. This time stop loss is low of day.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$DELL been stalking for a while. Breakout fail→squat→undercut into 20ema on 8/7 Fri. Confirmed forming lower high on 5 mins→enter with stop loss at previous candle to achieve less than 2% S/L. Could've been 15 mins pivot.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$DELL Entry after taking off high of yesterday's insideday on 15mins pivot this morning. I was so tempted to get on ORB or 5 mins pivots but I completely quit those entries. Hope it will hold tomorrow and after

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

Actually more importantly, this was also 20ema reclaim which convinced me to get positioned today after a market pullback. Layers of probability.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

This is a trade which I got an idea from Martin Luk's video on $INTC on 6/11 trade.
$BE 2nd higher low leg, made an insideday yesterday, entry for inside high today at first 15 mins pivot low for super tight S/L. My biggest position now. Gap up overnight.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

Sold the last piece of $ARM closed under 20ema, holding last piece of $MRVL and 50% of $ATI to let them work. 90% cash now and feeling relaxed to work on this new book until another strong uptrend comes back 😌

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$APLD 5/20 20ema reclaim with most recent pivot S/L, next day gap up was the best scenario but missed.
Today undercut into 10ema and entry at yesterday's low was the best but it had to be the first 5min and could've been a noise so passed. Waiting on 15min pivot and got in.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

This was the biggest position and trimmed almost all of it by yesterday. Going into earnings with 10% leftover.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$MRVL Revenge trade
Been stopped out multiple times and yesterday at Undercut off of 20ema was the best entry which I missed. That morning undercut recovery is something I've been studying lately.
It brokeout again today and ended up entering at 30min pivot.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$NBIS Undercut into 10ema with 30 mins pivot entry. Gapped up after hours

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$AAOI Testing trade
Same as $GLW 20ema reclaim entry at 30 mins pivot low. Since this is not a breakout trade, I would like to trim more aggressively when I do.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$GLW Testing trade.
Got an idea from $APLD yesterday. 20ema reclaim entry with confirmation at EOD. Buying into strength and stop loss at 30 mins pivot low for tight risk.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$AAON Was looking to enter at yesterday's inside day high but didn't break. It ended up undercut and I entered at 30mins pivot off 10ema with even better R:R

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$MRVL Revenge trade

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$ARM FOMO trade.
Ideal entry was 5/18 at Undercut with 2.7% S/L but missed. Then yesterday it was so close to breaking out with leading names bouncing back. Last 1 hour, I ended up entering at 15mims pivot with 1.3% S/L, risking $3. Today brokeout and trimmed at 11:1 R:R.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$MRVL Many attempts at Undercut all failed and got stopped out this morning and I gave up and it went back up. Trading is so hard.
$ARM I was tempted to get in yesterday but passed. Then it's about to breakout. Now I will have to try ORB or re-test.
I really suck at this game.

@eragon_160 Thanks for the comment! That's something I'm still trying to figure out actually. I saw my sensei mentioned that he prefers 20eams to 10ema for pullback but I'm sure it depends on how fast the stock moves. For earnings gap ups, 10ema for sure. For me, 10ema first, failed, 20ema.

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$NOK 10ema pullback with 30 mins pivot entry

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$GEV That was a shitty move. Stopped at breakeven after the first trim. Small profit

[Amateur swing trader @kazhas10]

$GEV 20% First trim at $1105, R:R 6:1
