My biggest breakthrough wasn’t learning anything new. It was realizing I already knew enough I was just sabotaging myself with unnecessary stuff. I was doing too much and adding complexity when I just had to do less.

My Favorite Weekly Chart Setup: The "Character Change" This is my go-to setup for getting into new uptrends early, and it’s something I use only on weekly charts. The CC (character change) is all about patience and waiting for clear evidence that the trend has shifted. ⚠️ If you’re looking for quick trades or need to be active, this might not be for you, because these require you to sit after you get in for a long time and let it do it's thing. Why Weekly Charts? Weekly charts smooth out a lot of the noise you see on daily charts. They give you a bigger picture and help you see the trend more clearly. What Is the "Character Change" Setup? This setup is about recognizing when a stock is transitioning from a long downtrend to the early stages of an uptrend. It’s all about waiting for specific signals on the weekly chart that show that it is highly likely the long-term trend is now up. Here’s what I look for: 1. First Higher Low After a long downtrend, I look for the stock to make a higher low on the weekly chart. This alone isn't enough but it's our first piece of evidence that something might be up. 2. HUGE Volume with a Price Pop The other thing to look for is a big surge in volume with a strong price move. This shows real institutional interest. This is our second piece of evidence. You have a higher low + it's first massive push. After this I have confidence the birth of a solid new trend is likely in place. Also the 1st or 2nd above can happen in any order you just want to see both. 3. New 10 Week respect The way you get a low-stress entry with incredible R/R is by waiting now that you have the evidence of a true CC on your side. The 3rd piece of the puzzle where you can enter with extremely low risk if it doesn't work is when you see the stock start to respect the 10-week moving average for the first time. Example 1: $APP Let’s look at APP, which had a huge run after showing this setup and my second best trade of all time. 1. Volume Pop: First, I noticed a big volume spike, but I didn’t jump in just because of that alone, not enough evidence. 2. First Higher Low: After the volume pop, the stock pulled back a bit and made a higher low. That’s when I got interested. As it made that higher low, it started respecting the 10-week moving average. 3. Holding the 10-Week: It then resumes its move being supported clearly by the 10 week again. That’s the final confirmation needed. APP took time to develop this setup. Even though it might look like dumpster diving, since these are weekly charts, the downtrend is long over before it becomes a buy. From there, it just kept riding the 10-week line up , giving you multiple chances to add to your position if you caught it or many chances to get in. Example 2: $PYPL (currently developing) PayPal was dead money for a long time, making lower lows. Then early this year we started developing a CC. 1. Higher Low: This grinded sideways but still ended up being a big higher low. 2. Volume Pop: Here we get a big price push on volume. Technically we had a few before the higher low was confirmed, and an entry could have been established after the higher low because the risk is so low. But this was the clear Volume pop. 3. New 10W Respect: This is final evidence for me, off the volume pop the weakness is supported by the 10W for the first time. Super low risk entry and you can see if this is a real long-term trend then we are still very early. Example 3: $PTON (very early, still developing, and new position) Peloton had been stuck in a downtrend for over two years, so I didn’t even consider buying until it started showing evidence that the downtrend might be done. 1. Higher Low: Instead of breaking to a new low, it held up at a slightly higher level. It’s subtle, but this is a big clue that the character of the stock is shifting. (It was kind of a retest of the same low, not much of a higher low, so you can argue #3 on the chart is also the first higher low. Doesn't matter, by 3 you have all 3 pieces of evidence.) 2. Volume Pop: Next, a significant volume spike paired with a strong price move. But I don’t buy just because of a volume spike—I need more confirmation. 3. Trading Tight into the 10-Week Moving Average: After the volume pop, PTON started trading tightly near the top of that move and right into the 10-week moving average. This is what really got me interested because even if it fails, I can't emphasize enough.... the R/R for these types of setups is off the charts. The big thing here is patience. I don’t jump in while a stock is still in a downtrend. I wait until it’s made a higher low, shown a volume surge, and started respecting the 10-week moving average. By the time I get in, the downtrend has usually been over for a while. I’m letting the stock prove itself first. Quick Recap Here’s what makes the character change setup work: 1. Higher Low on the Weekly: Signals the stock might be done making new lows and could be shifting to an uptrend. 2. Volume Pop: A big volume spike with a price move. This tells you that there is now real interest in this name and adds evidence to support the birth of a new trend. 3. New 10-Week Respect: This helps add further evidence the momentum is on your side and allows you to get in with really low risk if it doesn't end up working. Remember, this setup takes time to develop. The hardest part is the patience. It is a lot of hands off and waiting but thats also how I like my trades. Low stress. Less is more! If you made it here...drop a reply—I’d love to hear your thoughts and questions.

I've been trading for over a decade. Everything you need to know about my strategy is covered in these 20 threads.

I have never met a successful trader who didn’t work hard.

What if I told you that some of my best trades didn't have a setup? “No setup, no trade” is great advice...but for me its a little different: If I can’t define my risk, I don’t trade. Period. The market isn’t always clean. Patterns don’t always line up perfectly. But here’s the rule that never changes: I know exactly where I’m wrong before I hit buy. If I can’t define that level? The trade doesn’t happen. End of story. That risk level can be anything... a support line, a prior high, even a psychological price point. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it must exist. If I don’t have a clear exit if I’m wrong, I’m not trading. I’m gambling. And I don’t gamble. The bottom line is setups are secondary. The real edge in trading is risk management. The question isn’t “Is this a setup?” It’s “Can I manage risk here?” If the answer is no, you walk away. The market will always give you another shot. Discipline wins. Always. Define your risk, or don’t trade.

This is brain rot for traders 😭

I don’t care about lambos or watches. I care about spending my time how I want, with who I want. That’s why I trade.

The best traders don't take their losses personally. They view trading as a business, and losses are just part of the game.

No matter how confident you are when you place a trade, remember that the outcome will always be random. 16/50

Only trade when you have an edge. If there are no clear opportunities, don’t trade.

Always trade in the direction of the trend. 20/50

If you stop relying on someone else’s trades, you will be mind-blown by how fast you progress and how much you are capable of by yourself. 10/50

Don't be so critical of your trading mistakes... we all make them. Just learn and move on — quickly! 7/50

Trading is an ART — not a science. 3 reasons why👇🏼🧵

If you are a trader and struggle to be consistent, the first step is to acknowledge and understand which of the 4 phases you're in. Once you understand that everything falls into place:

Trading is a way of life. It's not something you do in your spare time, or when you're bored, or when you have nothing better to do. It's an art that requires dedication and practice.

When I started trading I was addicted to action. Every bounce, every dip, I was doing something. I’d wake up ready to click buttons. I was convinced that constant activity was the formula, and would put me in a better position to have a big breakthrough type trade. I wasn’t trading though in reality, I was gambling... and it was exhausting. Also demotivating lol. When I reviewed my trades I noticed a few things: 1. 90% of them should’ve never happened in the first place. They weren't placed because I had an edge in that moment, or because it was the right thing to do. They were mostly just placed because like I said I was addicted to the action. And I equated action & effort with success (which is normally the case in any other field). I wasn’t giving myself a chance to succeed because I was overtrading. 2. My best trades (the ones that moved my portfolio) came from sitting on my hands. It was actually the opposite of what I believed was helping. That’s why I personally shifted to weekly charts. It was based on the above. They reduced the amount of noise I would see. The constant intra-day action that I thought kept me ahead and informed was just in reality making it impossible not to do something when nothing should have been done. Weekly charts gave me patience, discipline, and clarity. They forced me to slow down and let trades breathe. It created an environment for myself where I wasn't constantly overthinking, or being pushed to make an impulsive decision. The environment change was key, I knew I had to be more patient, and I had to stop overtrading, and instead of fighting those urges the weekly chart perspective just naturally promoted it. In trading less is often more, and success isn’t about doing something all the time. It’s about doing the right thing at the right time. And for me that meant learning to sit still and get out of my own way. Now it feels like the market works for me, instead of me working for the market.

The best traders have internal confidence. They don't listen to the noise around them. Instead, they focus on themselves and what they can control. 8/50

Unless you learn to control your losses, you will never become a successful trader. 19/50

Forget breakouts. Big trends start long before they look obvious. 1. Higher low → Momentum has shifted. 2. Volume surge → Institutions are positioning. 3. 10/30-week respect → A clear spot to define and manage risk. Master this, and you'll understand 'buy right, sit tight'.

Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all. 18/50
