@Riccardino999 Yes I remember that post of yours, also that realizable asset value is opaque

I am trying to align myself with the strongest stocks in the strongest groups while they are already proving institutional demand through price.

1) I am not looking for cheap stocks.
2) I am not looking for broken charts.
3) I am not trying to be early in names that have shown me nothing.

I want strength that is already visible, then I wait for a controlled entry where I can define risk.

My process always starts with leadership.

Before I care about the setup, I ask myself: is this name actually leading? Is it outperforming the market? Is it outperforming its sector? Is it holding up on red days? Is it reclaiming moving averages quickly after pullbacks? If the answer is no, I usually lose interest fast.

Relative strength first.
Setup second.

After that, I look at the group. 1 strong stock is interesting, but multiple strong stocks in the same theme usually means institutional rotation. That is why I constantly track semis, AI infrastructure, power, defense, quantum, software, crypto, and any group where money is clearly flowing.

Then I look for structure.

Momentum alone is not enough for me... I need tightness & I need compression. I need a place where risk makes sense.

If a stock already made a strong move, I do not want to chase the emotional candle. I want to see it pause, digest, pull into the 9/21EMAs, build higher lows, absorb sellers, and start tightening again.

That is where the opportunity forms.

The move higher creates attention + the pullback shakes out weak hands. The tightness stores energy, and once price starts reclaiming pivots again, the next move higher can happen fast.

This is why so much of my trading revolves around:

> Stage 1 → Stage 2 transitions
> 9/21EMA pullbacks
> undercut/reclaim setups
> 15/30min pivot entries
> weekly breakout structures
> tight flags after expansion
> relative strength names on weakness

The actual entry is where I get aggressive.

If a leading stock pulls into support, undercuts a key level, then reclaims and starts turning back up on the 15/30min timeframe, that is one of my favorite entries. I can place my stop near LOD or the support pivot, know exactly where I am wrong, and participate right as momentum starts returning.

If I am wrong, I lose small.
If I am right, the stock should start working almost immediately.

Momentum trading is not buying random green candles.

It is finding true leadership, waiting for structure, entering where risk is tight, and then having the patience to let the winner work.

Most of my trades are small losses, breakeven trades, or small wins.

The outlier winners pay for everything.

Simple... but NOT easy.

From cutting winners too early to averaging down on losers, he explains how disciplined position sizing and letting winners run can create asymmetrical returns over time.

#PAF Pan African Resources
Re PAF has been the leading stock in the FTSE350 for a long time now. Leading Sector #GOLD Leading stock #PAF and forecast's were solid before the gold move.
Even with the volatility in the precious metals space there has been nothing to do in these stocks apart from hold on while the trend is up.
Zoom out before you zoom in etc...

The most important and powerful tool for the technical timing of entries is the simple (but meaningful) line in the sand. The first step on the ladder that must be traded. #CAN #GFM #RIO #SRC

#VLX Volex Group
Gas topped up this morning after a scenic diversion ⛽️
I've added the last attempt for VLX to get it's trend on in 2024 for comparison. The only real difference is it has more interest currently. It's trading with lot more order (interest). Looking at my dashboard, the fundamentals were pretty much the same in 24 as they are today. Go figure.

@ranu5 Do state when you have a position?

[Polycafe @robbinsbox]

@Riccardino999 I have it on a watch list. I like the price action, no trigger yet for my style. nice story on fundamentals, though early. I trade breakouts and pullbacks. Commodity so I prefer a tailwind, iodine high and steady. Cash flow does a fair job of covering capex.
