My day trading strategy mega thread! 🧡

I'm going to cover my entire system for day trading the stock market. The goal of this thread is to help you identify and execute your own high quality trades

I've taken 127 trades this year with a 75.59% win rate, Here's how πŸ‘‡ $spy $qqq

There are 4 main parts to my trading and i'll go over each of them separately. Then we will look at how they all come together into a simple effective A+ trade.

1 - Supply and Demand
2 - EMA indicators
3 - Basic chart patterns
4 - Risk management

Lets take a look πŸ‘‡
(1) Learning Supply and Demand Zones -

This is 1 week of S&D zones I traded on QQQ. To make it easy to keep track of through each chart I have numbered the Zones in this thread 1-5

I'm going to show you exactly how I found and traded each of them. Starting with these 3 below πŸ‘‡ Image
Zone 1 is my breakout point. I get this from the previous days high. I draw a zone from the high of day wick to the following candle body.

Breaking above this zone tells me that we are out of range and putting in a higher high from the day before. This is a good sign of momentum Image
Zone 2 is the next resistance point we will see if we break out of that previous days range. I use this as a price target and a place to be cautious of a rejection/reversal.

To find this zone I look back on the chart and find the place we last saw resistance/reversal happen πŸ‘‡ Image
Zone 3 is my next area to watch for a rejection/reversal if we break through Zone 2. I find this area by repeating the above process again

When price hits Zone 2, im watching for a break or rejection. A break likely sends it to Zone 3, Rejection likely sends it back to Zone 1πŸ‘‡ Image
Here's a look at how I played these zones this day. I missed the move from Zone 1 to 2. I watched Zone 2 for a break or rejection. Because I have these Zones charted, I know that a break of 2 will likely lead to 3. So when it breaks I enter long and aim for Zone 3 πŸ‘‡ Image
Coming into the following day I need another zone to aim for if Zone 3 Breaks. This is where Zone 4 comes in. I found this Zone using the same simple process I used to find 2 and 3. Image
I look back as far as I need in order to find the next area where price got rejected. In this case it was about 2 weeks back. When there is large gaps between resistance levels it creates smooth price action as price is able to move freely from one zone to the next πŸ‘‡ Image
Here is a closer look at the price action of that day. Again because I had these Zones on my chart I had a good idea of where price may be headed next. Catching 100% move up into Zone 4, then a 400% move on the rejection back to Zone 3 πŸ‘‡ Image
The following day we stayed in range under Zone 4. So now I know that a break of Zone 4 will bring momentum in the future. Time to find another price target for when that happens πŸ‘‡ Image
Repeating the same process like clockwork, I look back on the chart at the last place price was rejected over Zone 4. This is where I got Zone 5 from.

And again by observing the lack of resistance in between Zone 4 and 5 I know that price will likely move freely between the two. Image
Once again coming into the day I have my Zones to watch. If we break Zone 4 I'm looking at going long and aiming for Zone 5. This keeps me on the right side of the momentum so i'm not fighting against the trend.

I use the same process in reverse for playing the downside.. Image
Intraday S&D zones are a great tool to use when we are inside of larger timeframe zones.

Look for areas where price has found support and resistance early in the day.

Mark those zones and watch for a break above/below them later in the day, then trade them the same way πŸ‘‡

(2) Utilizing EMA's

I use the 200ema - 48ema - 13ema on the 2 minute chart. I use them to gauge my entries and exits

I want stock price over the 200ema for pullback entries to the 13 and 48ema to go long

I want stock price under the 200ema for pullback entries to go short πŸ‘‡ Image
I use the emas is to gauge momentum. When they are flat/scrambled/close together it is a strong sign of consolidation/chop (no trade zone!)

When the emas start to drift apart and align in order it is a clear visual of momentum. This is when pullback buys are most respected! πŸ‘‡
Image
Image
As price moves from Zone to Zone i'm using the emas to gauge the momentum, avoid consolidation/chop areas, and buy the pullbacks.

Once in the trade i'm using the 13ema to ride out my winners, scaling out along the way. Exiting the trade on the break.
Image
Image
Every trade follows the same concept and basic set of rules.

Its a simple process of breaking above resistance and buying dips to the emas to go long. Or breaking below the support and buying pullbacks to the emas to go short πŸ‘‡


Image
Image
Image
Image
(3) Chart patterns and analysis - I like to keep it simple and focus on what works. I use things like Bear/Bull flags, common candle stick patterns, and overall market awareness to assist me in my trading. These are simple effective tools that anyone can learn πŸ‘‡


Image
Image
Image
Image
(4) RIsk management - Without a doubt the most important part of any trading system. Keeping losers small is critical!

I do this by having a clear risk level for every trade I enter. and more importantly, respecting it! Every strategy comes with systematic losses, except it.


Image
Image
Image
Image
These 4 steps all come together to form a uncomplicated system that is simple to follow and execute on a daily basis.

$SPY My trading strategy mega thread! 🧡

The goal of this thread is to help you identify & execute your own high quality trades.

$100 days turn into $1,000 days quickly when you start to follow a repeatable system!

And this is my system πŸ‘‡ Image
Image
I start by marking these 4 levels everyday... ✍️

~Previous Day High
~Previous Day Low
~Pre Market High
~Pre Market Low

*Previous Day High / Low = Highest & Lowest price of yesterday's trading session.

*Pre Market High / Low = Highest & Lowest price from 4am to market open.

Here's a visual example of where to find these 4 levels on your chart πŸ‘‡Image
Now I use the Previous Day High & Low levels to make 2 support & resistance zones.

I use the 15 minute chart...

Previous Day High to the following candle body = My PDH resistance zone.

Previous Day Low to the following candle body = My PDL support zone.

Visual example of how I make the zones πŸ‘‡Image

The blueprint to start making $1k/day trading $SPY 🧡 Image
Support & Resistance...

It's by far the most effective tool for trading the stock market! If you are newer to support & resistance, start with this simple techniqueπŸ‘‡

Make a zone using the Previous Day High & Low.

Previous Day High = Resistance. Focus on calls/upside if price breaks above it.

Previous Day Low = Support. Focus on puts/downside if price breaks below it.

You can also trade inside the range using rejections/ bounces of those same areas.

Here's a visual example from yesterday ⬇️Image
EMA trends...

I use the 13 / 48 / 200 EMA's on the 2 minute chart.

Here's my quick cheat sheet πŸ‘‡

Above 200 EMA = Bullish
Above 200 + 48 EMA = More Bullish
Above 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Most Bullish

Below 200 EMA = Bearish
Below 200 + 48 EMA = More Bearish
Below 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Most Bearish

Let me break down some visual examples because these EMA trends are so good! ⬇️

I've used this simple strategy on $SPY & $QQQ to become a full time trader 🧡

Bookmark and study it and you could do the sameπŸ‘‡ Image
Start by charting out the Previous Day High and Low zones. Very simple πŸ“

Previous day high zone = High of day wick to the following candle body.

Previous day low zone = Low of day wick to the following candle body.

Here's a visual example of todays PDH & PDL zones πŸ‘‡ Image
I use these 2 major areas of support & resistance to guide me through the price action the following day.

Above the PDH zone = Favor calls πŸ“ˆ

Below the PDL zone = Favor puts πŸ“‰

Trading within the previous days range can often be a little more tricky. If you are not consistently profitable yet consider avoiding that area completely πŸ‘‡Image

These are the main areas of support & resistance to watch the following day!

This gives you 4 of the strongest scenarios to watch.
