20+ year student of the mkt. Swing trading breakouts from higher lows and tightening ranges on the highest ADR, highest momentum stocks. KK/KQ is the GOAT.

I'm quite possibly the worst trader that has ever lived. In more than 20 years of trading, I've blown up multiple times - some of them with one trade gone wrong - others with a Martingale death spiral from hell. Options, futures, currency, stocks - you name it, I've probably

If you have never heard of Oliver Kell's cycle of price action, what rock have you been living under, first of all. Go find out. It's such a simple, repeatable lens through which to view the mkt and consistently captures the core essence of nearly all other trader methods I've

Eight-Step Momentum Trading Method: 1. Scan the weekly charts of the top 10% 1, 3, and 6-month relative strength stocks within 25% of recent highs - 30-day highs, 60-day highs, 52-week highs. It doesn't matter - pick one. The point is that the stock has retained recent

imho, Qullamaggie is one of the greatest swing traders of this generation and maybe just about any generation. You can debate that all you want, but you can't debate his outcomes - turning $5k or so into $100m in a decade, all with his own capital, is a feat I haven't never

I’m a full time engineer, a PhD student, a husband of 23 years, a father of four, and a retired Army Warrant Officer. I spend an inordinate amount of my already limited time posting a ton of content for free explaining how I trade and the lessons learned form trading and studying

Bet size matters because the first rule of trading is you have to survive. In the law of large numbers, there are some things working against us - namely probabilities of losing streaks. Let’s take a simple 100 time coin flip game where for heads you add plus 2 and tails you

Qullamaggie: "Look, at the end of the day, if the market is going up, if stocks are going up, your job is to be long. Once the moving averages turn and your stocks fall below the 10 and 20, your job is to be in cash. It's not more difficult than that. Focus on what you can

Your homework this weekend: 1. Scan the weekly charts of the top 10% 1, 3, and 6-month relative strength stocks within 25% of recent highs - 30-day highs, 60-day highs, 52-week highs. It doesn't matter - pick one. The point is that the stock has retained recent momentum. Don't

Mark Minervini, one of the great stock market wizards of our time, has said that stocks move based on anticipation and surprise. This speaks to the fact that the market is usually in anticipation mode, and gets surprised when new information conflicts with forecasting models.

You don't need 5 or 6 patterns. You need 1 or 2. I'm a long-only trader. 95% of the patterns I trade are pullbacks (buy setup/EMA crossback) and consolidations (flag/wedge/base 'n break) to the 10/20EMA. 5% might be gaps and 5% might be wedge pops coming out of W-bottoms or

Read this section from Mark Boucher until it's burned in your brain. While most traders hyperfocus on tactics and indicators, the first order of business is identifying runaway "markets" (stocks). Only after you've found the strongest, fastest horses should you even consider

Drawdown control and recovery is the real trading superpower—yet it’s the one that almost no one talks about. Social media is flooded with highlight reels: screenshots of big winners, huge percentage gains, and perfectly timed trades. But what you almost never see are the posts

Qullamaggie: “My win rate last year (2020), and I had insane returns, was only 35%. The year before that in 2019 it was only 25%. You have to get used to getting stopped out a lot. Many times the same day and many times within a few minutes. That’s the name of the game.” People
