#1 Question I get Asked

How do you mark your Pre-Market High (PMH) and Pre-Market Low (PML)

Lets answer that question 🧡
1/ Different Market Sessions

There is 2 market session
1. After Hours: 4pm-8pm EST
2. Pre Market: 4am-9:30am EST

We cannot trade options for the most part during these times, $SPX trades until 4:15 fyi.
2/ After Hours

This occurs After the market closes therefore it is called After Hours or AH. See chart below. During this time news come out like earnings or headlines. Image
3/ Pre Market

This occurs Before the market open and is the open drive of the market and normally determines the direction for the day. Trader's focus here as there's higher volume here from the London session. Notice how we didn't break it today therefore no bullish momentum. Image
4/ Pre Market High

Based on the above this is HIGH of the premarket session. We mark this every single morning because if this breaks the momentum is in the bulls favor. Image
5/ Pre Market Low

Based on the above this is the LOW of the premarket session. We mark this every morning because if the low breaks the momentum is in the bears favor. Notice the follow through once the pre market low breaks. Image
6/ Phantom Wicks

Depending on your brokerage you will see random wicks in the PM (webull.) These are not real wicks as there's low volume PM. Focus on where price is clearly basing that is the low not the random wick. Image
7) After hour Lows

Sometimes price will make a low AH. This is important but it does not represent the momentum during the Premarket this can be used as price target when the PM lows. If there is ER this can be used as a new candle low. Image
8) How do I draw PMH/PML on Webull Automatically?

You can't you have to manually mark these every single morning but this can be annoying an a time waster so I use TradingView and have a custom script that marks it for me. This helps my charts stay clean day to day. Image
9) How to use these levels to trade?

If a stock breaks:
PMH = Long
PMH + PDH = Mega Long
PML = Short
PML + PDL =Mega Short

Levels don't break = no trades

Most traders completely missed the free money layup last week.

I made 360% on $SPY while you were busy figuring out WTF just happened.

Here is the ridiculously simple setup that hid in plain sight 🧡
1/ Friday was a masterclass in simplicity

While most people are studying 10 indicators and drawing Fair Value SMTs DD PoS 3.0. The market handed us the most obvious breakdown setup. The market wanted us to take advantage, but 90% of you didn't. Image
2/ Lets understand how price moves

Stock goes up and to the right = Buyers/Bullish

Stock goes down and to the right = Sellers/bearish

But what happens when price reverses what does that signal? Image

Stop overcomplicating trading.

The simplest method to quit your job is right in front of you.

Let me show you how I beat $SPY yearly return in 2 days 🧡
1/ Everyone is making trading sound way too complicated

You're out here studying the RSI FVG MACD EMA Cross Over that matches the intuitional order flow on the daily bias, while reading 35 books on technical analysis. Meanwhile I made 23% in two days with something that is stupidly simple.Image
2/ The secrets of Wall Street

Wall Street was built on confusing words, fancy certifications, and lack of transparency. This is so they can profit off the regular person like you and me. Wall Street is design to confuse the people who aren't in the "know." Image

The reason you're not making money trading is because you're using the wrong time frame

This 🧡will save your portfolio or you'll keep blowing accounts
1/ The problem with new traders

New traders just want someone to tell them what is the best time frame, because the REAL answer is: It depends.

If you got annoyed from me saying that congrats we just found out you will never make it in trading. Image
2/ Everyone uses the same time frames

Everyday I get dms from traders saying how they ONLY use the 1m or the 5m or hourly. I hate to break it to you but only using one time frame is a trap and likely why you're not making any money. Image

How to make an extra $5k/month trading this summer (to fund your second vacation)

Making money this summer will be a breeze🧡
1/ Why Summer is Different

Summer is different compared to the rest of the year, because people are on vacation. By people I mean institutional traders (people who actually move the market.) Traders traveling = less volume, but that doesn't mean money can't be made. Image
2/ Sleepy Summer

Every year volume dries up around June into August. Without volume the moves become smaller and chop risk is extremely high. In my 6+ years of trading I have seen many traders blow their accounts, but most don't realize its the BEST time to LEARN. Image
