One of the Biggest Changes I Made to My Approach to the Market - And How It Helped Me Catch Multibaggers

I used to think I needed to wait for the breakout.

I don’t anymore.

Over time, I’ve learned that I much prefer building my positions inside the base rather than buying regular breakouts or chasing extended ones.

If I get the fundamentals right and the technical structure is developing the way I want, I’m comfortable getting positioned while the base is still forming.

I usually look for:
- A powerful long-term theme
- Accelerating fundamentals
- EPS growth above 30% yoy
- Stage 1 base or consolidation
- Higher lows + signs of accumulation
- Support around key MAs / AVWAPs

This is where fundamentals and technicals work together for me. Fundamentals tell me what I want to own. Technicals tell me when I want to start building it.

By the time the breakout comes, I already want to have a position. I’m not looking at the breakout as my entry anymore - I look at it as confirmation.

Recent examples:
$HOOD around $105
$RBRK around $75

Past winners:
$ARM around $160
$MRVL around $92

I’m not trying to predict the exact bottom of the base. I’m trying to recognize when a great business is building a structure that could eventually lead to its next Stage 2 move.

And position sizing matters.

I don’t need to go full size on day one. I can start building inside the base and add as the technicals improve and the thesis continues to play out.

That’s one of the biggest advantages I’ve found from combining fundamentals + technicals.

But getting in early is only half of it.

The other side of this approach is holding my winners much longer.

Once a position breaks out and enters a strong Stage 2 trend, I don’t want to sell just because I’m up 30%, 50%, or even 100%.

I stay with the trend until something materially changes. And I never make that decision based on a single indicator. It’s always a combination of factors - price action, key MAs/AVWAPs, trend structure, distribution, and whether the fundamentals or original thesis have changed. One indicator breaking doesn’t automatically mean the trend is over.

Getting positioned inside the base gives me the cost basis.

Staying with the trend gives the position enough time to become a multibagger.

Find them early. Build inside the base. Add on confirmation. Hold while the trend remains intact.

$HPE on breakout watch this week...

Banging against overhead resistance once again. It gets weaker with each tap.

Volume profile suggests accumulation since early September.

Mark Minervini knows that breakout setups look identical right at the pivot.

True market leaders show immediate follow-through and volume expansion, while failing stocks exhibit distribution warning signs during the attempt.

Follow-through separates leaders from laggards.

[Ross Haber @RossHaber]

Powerful follow-through today on last week's post-FOMC action!

Semis pushing into that leadership role and lead by $AMD.

Oil and gas names coming under pressure. Welcomed sign. $FANG $COP $OXY. Refiners and shippers still lead in that space.

You'd be amazed how many “A+ setups” magically disappear if you wait until 10:00 AM.

The open is designed to make you feel like you're missing everything.

$MRNA amazing EP continuation after the highest volume ever on the cancer vaccine phase III trials news.

We are 40 cents away from all-time highs and the relative strength line already made a new high.

the full data readout comes around late October at the EMSO in Europe.

[Nick Drendel @NickDrendel]

Now ask yourself; was July through August the best trading environment because $RSP was leading new highs, or has the last three days been much easier now that LIQUID LEADERS are making new highs instead of toilet paper stocks?

Need to find a way to get into these CPU names. I chased a bit and put on some starters today, but want a lot more exposure to these. $ARM, $AMD, $INTC, $ALAB.

[Francesco @FranVezz]

Exciting, explosive and powerful day!

Easy to get the emotions out of whack.

Just take a look at April - the monster rally began after this huge gap.

If this is a REAL environment change, all of these moves should follow through and hold over the next week.
