[primo @TheStrat]

800% return in less than 4 hours

$QQQ gave a 3-1 setup on the 30min

the outside bar showed a bias for a reversal to the upside, and the inside bar gave the precise entry

i took the entry on the break above the inside bar, with the opposite side as my stop loss

all i had to do was target my levels on the way up

main target was opening print at 608.35.

forever grateful for this skill.

God bless the stock market! 🙏🏾

$ORCL paid early.

During premarket, we scanned the news and saw Oracle had secured a $7B government contract over the next 10 years.

That’s a catalyst, but I wasn’t interested in buying just because the news looked bullish.

We still had FTFC to the downside, so I kept that in mind going into the open.

Once price broke below the previous week’s low, that triggered the weekly 2D and gave us our entry.

From there, all we did was target our downside levels, with the previous day’s low being one of the first targets.

The contracts ended up giving a 100% move in about 30 minutes.

The news puts a ticker on the watchlist.

Then we use #TheStrat to execute.

$TSLA earnings continuation paid 🩸

Contracts ran over 200% in less than 2
hours.

We caught the initial drop yesterday after earnings, so it stayed at the top of our watchlist for a continuation today.

Once price broke below yesterday’s low, that was our signal to get back in.

From there, all we did was target our downside levels and let the plan play out.

When a ticker pays you once, don’t cross it off your watchlist just because you already traded it.

Some of the best opportunities come from the continuation after the initial earnings reaction.

[primo @TheStrat]

$CMCSA was one of the best post earnings opportunities today.

they reported earnings before the open and got IV crushed.

the daily had a 1-3 setup which is one over my favorite setups to look for.

On top of that, it had FTFC to the downside

with the quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily all bearish.

Stratalyst also flagged that over the last 8 earnings reports,

$CMCSA has moved more than 200% of its ATR over 75% of the time.

You had the catalyst, the daily setup, the higher timeframe continuity, and the historical tendency all lining up.

These contracts ended up running over 400%.

Put yourself in front of the tickers that have a legitimate reason to move,

then let the Strat tell you when to execute.

[primo @TheStrat]

$TSLA handed out free money today.

After its earnings report, TSLA was down over 6% in premarket, so it immediately went to the top of our watchlist as a post-earnings mover.

We planned the trade during premarket and went over exactly what we wanted to see before the opening bell.

Once the market opened, we identified our downside gamma levels at 325 and 320, then waited for the price action to confirm the move.

Planned this trade with the group and traded it live at the open.

Preparation keeps you ready.

Patience pays you.

[primo @TheStrat]

Here are some inside bars on the daily that are set up for tomorrow.

The ones I like from here are:

$MMM: Post-earnings mover with a 2-1 setup on the daily and a potential gap fill to the downside.

$MU has been in the headlines recently, so this is another one I’ll keep on watch.

$TSLA has a double inside setup on the daily that already triggered to the downside following earnings after the close.

I’ll keep it on watch tomorrow morning for post-earnings volatility and wait for price action to confirm the next move.

There are plenty of setups to choose from, but my focus will be on the tickers with recent catalysts because those are the names that tend to have the volatility we're looking for.

[primo @TheStrat]

God bless bro! You’re definitely one of a kind in this community.

There’s a lot of dope traders in the Strat community, and everyone has added their own twist to it over the years

and that’s one of the things I like most about it.

We all approach the market a little differently, and there’s something to learn from everyone.

Appreciate you brother, let’s keep our foot on the gas! 🥂

[primo @TheStrat]

@extrader I only use the 15min if I’m trading the open.

After 10AM i stay on the 30min, 1HR and 2HR

[primo @TheStrat]

News creates opportunity.

$AMD announced a billion deal with Anthropic during premarket, immediately putting it on the watchlist.

The catalyst gave us a reason to pay attention.

All we did was execute.

[primo @TheStrat]

@claudeai this is insane

[primo @TheStrat]

If you’re spending too much time scrolling through charts every morning,

you’re making trading harder than it needs to be.

Find the catalysts first.

- Earnings
- News
- Upgrades/Downgrades
- Economic Releases

They’ll tell you exactly where the market’s attention is

then let the price action decide whether there’s actually a trade.

[primo @TheStrat]

@BdortsTrading Great trade!

[primo @TheStrat]

@CharlieBuxani CNBC, SeekingAlpha, Stratalyst.

These are also my favorite pages to keep notifications on for:

This is exactly why it pays to read the news.

$IREN announced a $2.8B in new AI cloud contracts this morning,

giving the market a legitimate reason to reprice the stock higher.

Price was already up around 10% during premarket, and the daily chart had also printed a bullish kicker.

A bullish kicker is when the previous day’s candle closes bearish,

but the next session gaps above that close and buyers immediately take control.

Instead of continuing lower, the market completely shifts sentiment and starts trading higher.

Our entry here was simple:

- a break above the premarket high.

From there, we used the levels above as our upside targets and managed the trade as price moved into each one.

The news gave us the catalyst

and the chart gave the setup.

[primo @TheStrat]

@CapitalAP_ definitely looking forward to see how IREN recovers from here

currently in a strong support zone as well

keeping $IREN these next 2 weeks just to see how it holds up.

[primo @TheStrat]

this week is about to bring more opportunities than most traders know what to do with

post-earnings reactions are going to be my main focus.

some of the names i’ll be watching closely are:

$MMM $CMCSA $INTC $TSLA $GOOGL

with plenty more reporting throughout the week.

i’m not trying to trade everything

i’ve already done the research going into the week, so now it’s just about staying patient and executing the plan.

the opportunities will be be there every single day

your job isn’t to catch every move.

it’s to stay patient, execute your plan, and move on to the next opportunity.

[primo @TheStrat]

here’s the easiest way to improve your daily watchlists:

before i open a single chart, i’m scanning news sites

every morning i’m checking:

- CNBC
- seeking alpha
- earnings hub
- forex factory

i’m not looking for stocks i like.

i’m looking for stocks that have a reason to move on that given day.

these sites give you a head start on where the volatility is likely to be.

once you know where to look, you’re already ahead of most traders.

@CryptoTamil5

[primo @TheStrat]

today’s watchlist paid.

120% on $UNH
140% on $ABT

both of these trades were already on the watchlist before the market even opened.

nothing was chased.

nothing was forced.

we came in with a plan, waited for the setup, and executed it live with the group.

that’s the difference preparation makes.

[primo @TheStrat]

$UNH contracts ran over 1,000% today.

And all you needed was a piece of the move.

Before the market even opened, Stratalyst flagged $UNH as one of the strongest post-earnings movers on my watchlist.

I didn’t chase the open.

The first 30min candle printed an outside bar that triggered to the downside.

Once price broke below the 30min ORB, we were also below the opening print, giving us a Failed 2U on the day

giving us that bearish bias.

From there it was simply managing the trade using my gamma levels as downside targets.

I ended up taking two separate entries, and both of them paid.

You don’t need to catch the entire move to make money.

Plan your trade, get your piece, and walk away.

@CapitalAP_ Bet, going to check them now. 👀
