I spent hours every night scanning stocks for options trades.

I'm a software engineer.

So I automated it.

Now my algo scans 3,800+ stocks at market close (or on the fly) and delivers 10-15 qualified setups for the next trading day.

Here's how I built it and what I learned 🧵

@Badie912 @mikimaelamite I want to double down but if it drops below $15 even better (cost basis for me is $37 btw lmao)

@BMNRTracker Yeee haw!!!

@PeterSchiff Sure

If you are not making money during this run:

You are likely trading the WRONG stocks..

For the last few weeks, all I've done was:

-Focus on strong themes (Semis, space, memory)
-Buy these names on pullbacks into the EMA's
-Hold these winners & don't sell too early

Once these start building bigger bases, now you are going to look for rotation into emerging themes.

How to know where to look?

1. Start With Relative Strength

Emerging themes always leave footprints.

You’ll notice:

-Certain groups stop selling off during weak markets
-They recover faster than indexes
-Multiple stocks in the same niche begin moving together
-Volume starts increasing across the sector

For example:

$IGV was making new highs while $QQQ was still below the previous all time highs

This showed relative strength in the ETF, and software stocks began to emerge with strong setups

2. Scan Weekly Charts First

You will start noticing that when almost every stock in a sector is setup on the weekly timeframe.. and explosive move follows.

Emerging themes usually appear first on:

-Weekly bases
-Weekly breakouts
-Multi-month consolidations

For example data centers recently.. all had a massive weekly base

3. Follow Volume Closely

Volume is one of the clearest signs of institutional participation.

You will start noticing:

-Highest volume EVER print
-Accumulation volume patterns
-Low volume sell offs
-A breakout with expanding volume often signals real demand

This tells you that institutions are piling into the trade

4. Watch for “Character Changes”

One of the earliest clues is a change in behavior.

Examples:

-Stocks stop failing on breakout attempts
-Pullbacks become shallow
-Names begin closing near highs instead of lows
-Weak sectors suddenly start holding moving averages

A new theme usually starts with:

-Better closes
-Better reactions
-Better continuation

before the headlines catch up...

For example $PLTR and $HOOD in the last few days.. starting to act much better and changing their characters.

5. Track News Narratives

Themes are often tied to macro narratives:

-AI spending
-Government backing
-Defense budgets

Follow themes, and stocks that have a REASON to go higher.

For example drone stocks last week, after the news that the government might take a stake...

Now this becomes top watch.

6. Focus on the Leader (Most important)

Every theme usually has:

-a leader
-secondary names
-laggards

The leader is where institutions concentrate first.

Your goal is to find the strongest theme, the strongest sector, and the strongest stock in that sector.

Characteristics of a leader:

-breaks out first
-has the best volume
-holds moving averages best
-reacts strongest after pullbacks

Most importantly... stack probabilities

Theme + Catalyst + Setup + Leading stock = super performance

[Sean trades @SRxTrades]

Rotation is the bloodline of a bull market...

Once you learn how to find the next emerging sectors, you will be a head of the heard...

The amount of themes absolutely exploding has been incredible

Strong breadth = strong markets

Last week we saw some rotation into:

-Software
-Quantum
-Drones
-Defense stocks
-Old cycle darlings ($HOOD, $PLTR)

This is only going to continue as the markets search for the next BIG opportunity while semis set back up in big bases

The sectors I'm really focusing on that are a cant miss:

Quantum
$INFQ
$RGTI
$IONQ
$QBTS
$IBM

Software
$ORCL
$TEAM
$SNOW
$MSFT
$NOW
$APP

Drones/Defense:
$UMAC
$ONDS
$RCAT
$AVAV
$KTOS
$PLTR

Robotics:
$TER
$PDYN
$AUR
$OUST
$TSLA
$AMZN

Rare earths/energy:
$USAR
$NEXA
$OKLO
$NNE
$SMR

Data centers:
$NBIS
$CRWV
$CIFR
$IREN
$INOD
$HUT

$HOOD

ROBINHOOD OFFICIALLY ENTERS THE AGENTIC ERA.

- Robinhood is launching Agentic Trading and an Agentic Credit Card, letting users connect AI agents to Robinhood through MCP servers so agents can trade or make purchases on their behalf.

- Agentic Trading will use a separate account, so the agent only has access to money deposited there, with push notifications and real-time activity/P&L tracking.

- The Agentic Credit Card lets an AI agent spend through a dedicated virtual Robinhood Gold Card with user-set spending limits, optional manual approvals, expense tracking, and 3% cash back.

Really excited for this. In an agentic world, so many financial decision can be automated or prompted to be done in a way that can help someone legitimately trade or just make better decisions around their spending habits. Robinhood will get access to first-party data and as a result be able to then build more products on top of these that help users better engage with their AI suite.

I know the stock hasn't done the best this year, but that doesn't mean execution and launching new products has to slow down. Fintech isn't in favor right now, eventually it will be, and when it does come back...Robinhood will have spent all that time working on new products and services to accelerate their earnings growth long term.

LFG.
