The great William O'Neil taught many how to 'fish' for their own food in the market & equipped the regular trader with skills to change financial futures.

Here are 20 of my favorite charts from one of his best resources, "How to Find & Own America's Greatest Opportunities":
1. Accustaff Weekly from 1995.

One of the most beautiful moves out of an IPO that I've ever seen. Image
2. Yahoo Inc. Weekly from 1997.

Every time I look at this chart I pick up something new. Image
3. Newbridge Networks from 1991.

One of the key points here is that it made a major run from $2.8 to $9, consolidated, and then went from $9 to $70.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOTTOM FISH TO MAKE MONEY! Image
4. Ascend Weekly from 1994.

Right up there with Accustaff (chart #1) as one of the most impressive IPO moves of all time. Image
5. Monogram Industries from 1965.

Another example that shows with a solid process, you don't have to bottom fish to make an unbelievable amount of money. Image
6. Home Depot Weekly from 1981.

$2 bucks to $30 in only 2 years, closing below the 10 week MA only a handful of times throughout the entire move. Image
7. Skyline Corp. from 1967.

The accumulation volume in this name is insane as WON highlights multiple times with his black arrows in the bottom panel.

Institutions can't hide when they want a name. Image
8. TCBY Weekly from 1985.

Note the tight closes in the first cup base as WON outlines.

Low volume + tight closes = accumulation.

I'm a big fan of this example because of how many buying opportunities it gave.

Wait for the right moment (mastered through $STUDY) & pounce! Image
9. Taser International from 2001.

Got to be the best chart in history, no? Image
10. Qualcomm Weekly from 1997.

Took 3 massive bases to get going from $10 to $150.

No weekly close was ever below the 10 week MA until after the climax top sell signal. Image
11. Reebok from 1985.

I like the real-world application of this chart as it was a sneaker name that was up and coming during the time.

Note the earnings accelerations... Image
12. Priceline Weekly from 2005.

The epitome of lower left to upper right.

Great notes by WON. Image
13. Storage Technology Weekly from 1976.

A multi-year base breaks out with what is most likely an earnings gap up if we were to zoom into the daily chart that then rode the 10-week all the way up to a 1000% gain. Image
14. Hansen Natural & Monster Energy from 2004.

An originally choppy move in the lower left turns into a controlled uptrend above the rising 10-week MA.

Note the amount of add points on this name!! Image
15. Crocs Inc from 2005.

Another name that lead after the recent bear market to start the early 2000s.

Again, tight weekly closes on low volume = accumulation! Image
16. Alliance Semiconductor from 1994.

Note the increase in volume on breakout right after the 7/13/1994 Follow Through Day.

Leading stocks can still break out and lead the market higher AFTER a FTD! Image
17. Redman Industries Weekly from 1969.

An example of volume coming into the name in the early stages as a sign of institutional accumulation, but the proper buy point didn't happen until after a large base.

You don't have to be early, be on time! Image
18. Syntex Weekly from 1962.

Easily one of the top 5 best stock charts in history right here.

10-week MA acts as a perfect guardrail to the upside. Image
19. Pulte Group from 1980.

Larger the base, higher the space! Image
20. Simmonds Precision Products, INC in 1963.

This mark up goes to show the level of expertise and analysis WON was able to articulate on a chart.

Multiple points outlining the exact actions investors/traders need to learn how to recognize on their own in real-time. Image
I specifically left off the extra descriptions that WON gave so you would feel obligated to go study the gold he puts in extra paragraphs describing each chart. 😉

The first 100 charts in O'Neil's "How To Make Money In Stocks" are unbelievable, but clear annotations along with a full description of every factor that played into his analysis is what separates this resource from the rest.

R.I.P. to the GOAT.
That's it!

It's never been easier to learn from Market Wizards.

Yesterday I watched a webinar with US Investing Champion @1charts6 as he shared his 10 Principles Of Trading.

These are a must read for any trader that wants to be profitable long-term.

Here they are (bookmark this):
#1. Put Risk First

Here are some general guidelines Oliver shared:

→ Stock: 3-5% stop loss
→ Maximum Loss: always know it!
→ Protecting Principal Capital is key

To make money, you first have to stop losing money.

Here are 3 key Stop Loss approaches he shared as well: Image
#2: If You Fail To Plan, You Are Planning To Fail

You have to own your ideas. Following will get you into a lot of trouble in the long run.

In Oliver's eyes, proper planning comes down to articulating your strategy on a single sheet of paper.

More notes on this principle: Image

Learning how to trade Earnings Gap ups has made traders like @Qullamaggie millions.

This level of success is what every momentum trader strives for.

But, how do you identify which gaps are worth trading?

Here's my 3-Step Gap Trading Guide (that can be applied instantly):
Why trade gap ups?

Simply put, a single earnings gap has the ability to change your year (and career!).

$TWLO and $FSLY were two incredible examples from 2020:

But, not all gaps have TWLO or FSLY potential.

So, let's cut the BS & focus on the best:

Step 1: Look at Gap Volume

Volume on gap day is the clearest form of institutional accumulation we get as retail investors.

The higher the volume, the more powerful the gap.

Here are the simple volume classifications, ranked by level of power:

You will find the market's next leadership stock by running these 10 screens every weekend:
1. YTD Performance > 100%

It's a high chance that the names already up 100% will continue to lead the market higher throughout the rest of the year.

If you want to be in those names, highly recommend studying/scanning this list on a weekly basis.

So far 62 results... ↓ Image
2. Reported EPS Prior Week

I always keep track of EPS gap ups, and one of the best ways to do this on the weekends is to look for the names up > 10% and had reported earnings in the past 5 days.

These names then funnel into my gappers WL, which I then trade using the HVC setup. Image

There's been a lot of talk about the market being extended & what this means going forwards for the next couple of weeks.

Instead of relying on other peoples' opinions, I use @mwebster1971 Webby RSI Indicator.

Here are some historical examples & what this could mean near term:
First and foremost, what is Webby's RSI indicator?

It's not the traditional RSI that you may be thinking of...

It stands for Really Simple Indicator.

And, it is really simple:
The Webby RSI plots the difference between today's low and the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

I use this indicator to plot extensions from the EMA in 4 different categories:

In February of 2023, I suffered the single worst overnight loss of my career, losing 8% of my capital in a matter of minutes.

I was devastated & went through a ton of growth as a trader in a short period of time.

Here are the 10 most impactful lessons I've learned since then:
1. Recovering Emotional Stability Must Be Your #1 Priority

It's human nature to want to make money back that you feel the market took from you.

Unfortunately, this mindset is flawed & will result in more losses.

The best thing you can do is focus on recovering a level head.
2. Lose the Get It Back Quick Mindset

Progress in the market comes in waves. Catching these waves will take time!

It's unrealistic to think that you can make back a large amount of money right after you lost it.

Creating a focus list can be daunting, especially when you have a universe of over 100+ different stocks.

The best way to narrow it down is by focusing on stocks that can double your money.

Here’s how you can make this mindset a reality when trading:
1. When you first look at a chart, glance to the left.

What does the price action tell you?

Where are the next large liquidity zones?

Is the stock trading near or at 52-week or all-time highs?

Asking yourself these questions will tell you all you need to know.

An example: Image
The stock above: $RVNC

This name went up +173% in only two months when the market rallied from early July to early October in 2022.

Clearly, this is a stock that can double. With this in mind, we can then look at the weekly chart to gauge any upcoming pockets of supply: Image
