Paul Tudor Jones was made famous for his $100,000,000 short in the 1987 Black Monday Flash Crash.

His net worth now exceeds $8 billion.

Here are 9 snippets from his very own documentary, highlighting the mindset & principles behind one of the world's best traders: Image
The first minute of the documentary sets the tone for what's to come.

PTJ clearly has a risk first mindset... ↓

"Risking 10 cents to make $8...that's not a bad trade..."
"Trading requires an energy level... and it's very difficult to sustain it 24 hours a day, which is what this requires."

To be a successful trader, you have to know when to push the gas and when to step away.

That feel and intuition is only built over time.

Topping is an ongoing process. It doesn't happen in one single session.

Institutions unwind positions over weeks/months, the same way they accumulate positions over weeks to months.

Here's what leading stocks are doing right now (that's a big cause for concern):
Let's start with $MSTR.

After getting super stretched above the 10EMA, $MSTR put in a Major Sell Bar on 11/21/2024.

You can see in the days following, gaps were sold.

The RS line has also flipped negative vs. its 21EMA.

$MSTR has been a leading name for a good while, so taking note of this distribution is important... Always be open to the other side of the trade!Image
Here's $APP.

This name has been nearly a perfect trade since breaking out in September, but yesterday it flashed a Major Sell Bar for the first time.

Down 15% on huge volume is a warning sign you must be aware of, no matter how big of gains you may have on the position.

From here, be on the watch for support at the rising 20 EMA/SMA, and continue to search for sellers to show up in a big way.

The $400 psychological level is key to watch as well.Image

Chasing a big breakout that you missed is the fastest way to go broke as a trader.

But there's one setup to rely on to get in big winners (even past their pivot points):

Inside Days.

Here's everything you need to master this setup (and start trading it ASAP):
By the end of this post, you'll have mastered:

→ What an inside day setup is
→ Why it's so reliable on names already showing momentum
→ Different ways to enter/exit the inside day setup
→ 3 examples to study & deep dive
→ 1 easy scans to run

Let's get going.
What is an inside day setup?

An inside day occurs when today's price is fully within the high & low of yesterday's bar, hinting at short term consolidation before price continues in the current direction.

It's also best when the inside bar comes on low volume.

Stanley Druckenmiller hasn't had a losing year in his entire 4.5 decades as a trader.

He recently sat down for a talk that every retail investor/trader needs to listen to.

We've broken it down for you into 10 clips (covering TA, risk management, selling losers, & much more): Image
As we said above, Druck's never had a down year.

We're sure you can imagine why that's important, but he says drawdowns are stressful, and staying out of them keeps you level headed.

More ↓
One idea Druck is obsessed with right now?

Whether we're in 1970s or not when referring to inflation.

No matter what you think about the macro, it's valuable to see the world's top investor looking for historical precedents to help him position in current times.
