So to quote on market legend quoting two other market legends:
"Minervini..sitting power. Dan Zanger says it too. Both Minervini and Zanger, they say it all the time. It's a superpower, sitting out, just sitting there and not doing anything. It's hard. It's really hard, but you have to do it."
It is a scan used for high priced stock above 60 where we scan for them to be up at least a dollar in first 15 minutes to enter if they meet our qualifying criteria. It allows early entry in to them. The actual scan condition is close-open should be more than 90 cents plus liquidity condition
Obsession beats discipline
And obsession looks like failure for a long time.
@michaeljburry used to work 16-hour hospital shifts, only to do stock write-ups between midnight and 3am
@jfsrev built a rental portfolio to cover the bills so nothing could stop him from trading full time. He runs the US session overnight from Singapore and is one of the best resources for aspiring traders
@MoistMango12 blew up in 2016 but kept grinding for 10 years, taking the US open at 3:30 am in New Zealand, with kids in the house. Made $7M+ in 2024.
"Where there's a will, there's a way" gets thrown around as if will and discipline is the hard part. The will is the easy part.
I have no excuses to not succeed.

His focus: short, aggressive bursts for maximum impact.
