Any who trades long only small caps. Send me a message :)
Would love to exchange ideas and thoughts!
After reading this for my first time… I don’t know how to put into words what I read, but damn that was beautifully said …

0R Paper | Sat on Hands. Nice!
• Very slow day on the multiday front. $SDOT and $OCC were nice moves though.
• Again tickers are moving violently - ie: $CPOP
June9,2026:
• Another INSANE day of low floats ripping 100s/ 1000s %. Waackkky fucking action. But there is massive opps, need to be ready!$PAVS / $SLGB / $CCTG
• A big insight/learning lesson today. Seeing accumulation in real time (slowly on an illiquid ticker) was a good synthesis of understanding! I want to really dive deeper and understand this more but seeing it live in action is pretty eye opening! And on top of that ticker went my way.
June8,2026:
• A LOT of good runs from gap up tickers and midday runs. Didn't trade any but interesting as multiday were lacking today. Stopped out today on my multiday plays. Bad fills overall but not horrible! Live to play another day!
June5,2026:
• Honestly, I think today was a PERFECT example of how fear of loss affects me. Action in $SELX showed an exact example of that! Hesitation, fear of losing a trade, FOMO all compounded and thats what happens when you let the emotions control you and are not playing properly.
• Hesitated on entry, pulled SL up for arguably no reason and close for a loss. After all that, trade goes 4R in my favor. I even knew that this tickers price action is super wacky to begin with and needed room to move. Lesson (hopefulyl) learned!
June4, 2026
- I knew I was missing one or the other ( $DXST / $BJDX). Unfortunate that the one I picked to jump into didn't pop immediately! That said that's alright overall. BJDX still gave a great opp, slugged along until it hit D1VWAP and faded hard down!
- POSITIVE: And again, another day where my WL was right, tickers that I was tracking were the movers (or at least had range to play them)! GREAT Sign!
- This week I have felt more in control of my trading (emotional and technical) than months past. It is showing which is good. Need to keep going!
June3,2026:
- Crazy what one misclick can f*ck up my whole day.
- $ANY and $FOFO were the runners, due to misclick and mistakes was down then climbed back to 0. Could have been a really good day. BUTTTT again, my WL was on point! I am fcking seeing the right things! Which is a BIG positive!
June2, 2026:
• WOW What a day, so many tickers on WL popped, and considered I missed a LOT of good opps, I got the biggest most prominent ticker ($HUBC) and although I missed a big chunk of it, this gives me confidence!
• $HUBC / $DEVS / $MYND
June1, 2026:
- $AIM popped PM hit D1Hs. $MASK action in PM and open at D2Hs was a good candidate. Was not expecting AIM to push higher after its fade below VWAP. After the pump back to highs multiple times, sign that there is a possibility for more to come!
- Tiny red cut today. Executions are bad, I can say that with my chest, BUT I am seeing the right things. My WL each morning is pretty spot on for what tickers will run (at least 1 of them on my list pops) which is a good sign. But that is only half the battle! Need to execute better!
May 28, 2026:
• $AKTX was a real winner today. The spread was sooo wacky on it though it was tough. Was focusing on $BRAI which was a nice catch. Although, AKTX was the play for today!
• $PHGE also popped, but hard to catch!
May 26, 2026:
$NCPL - very wacky fade close to open. Similarity between this action and $GIPR last week. 1m break into a massive rip with volume through or close to highs ! Then fade. Fade was way more aggressive on $NCPL but similar! Had that in the back of my mind which helped me out!
You know I need a new pinned tweet. So I'm gonna post all my favorite @team3dstocks threads that have personally shaped my thinking. These tweets are based from my 637 page, 106,909 word document I put together during my early years and pretty much made me profitable.
