Methodology

How I trade

01
Pre-Market Prep

4AM start. Screen for gap ups, low float movers, and unusual volume using TOS PM scans. Build watchlist of 6–8 stocks with key levels marked — PM High, PM Low, prev close.

TOS Scanner Gap Up Low Float
02
Signal Confirmation

Wait for all 8 signals to align: MACD cyan, TTM Squeeze fired, Momentum rising, EMA 8 above 13, price above VWAP, near HOD, RVOL above 2x, above PM High. All auto-calculated.

MACD 5,13,8 TTM Squeeze EMA 8/13 VWAP
03
Entry Execution

Long only. Entry on strong green candle confirmation after all signals align. Stop below LOD or key support. Target HOD or next resistance level. Minimum 1:2 R:R before entry.

Long Only HOD Breakout Valley Bounce PM High Break
04
Risk Management

Hard stop on every trade. Size manually based on distance to stop. Max 2 open positions. Done by 10AM PST or back for midday momentum 12–1PM. Never chase, never average down.

Manifesto

Rules I never break

01
All 8 signals must align before entry. Not 7. Not 7.5. All 8.
02
Hard stop on every trade. Set it before entry, never move it down.
03
$250 daily target hit — close the platform. Walk away. No exceptions.
04
2 consecutive losses in a row — done for the day. Come back tomorrow.
05
Never average down. Never chase a move. If I missed it, I missed it.
06
No trades after 10AM PST unless a clean midday setup appears 12–1PM.
