My biggest winners weren’t luck.
They followed the same patterns — over and over again.

Here are 10 lessons from my biggest trades 👇
1) Clear Pattern Before Breakout:
Every one formed a clean base — flat base, flag, or VCP. No sloppy ranges. Tight price action = power building. Image
2) Strong Uptrend Before the Base:
They were already leaders. Most were up 50-100%+ before forming the base. Strength attracts more strength. Image
3) Explosive Volume on Breakout:
The best breakouts came on 30%+ average volume. Funds were buying. Weak-volume breakouts? They usually failed. Image
4) Hot Sector or Theme:
AI infrastructure, battery tech, drones, rare earths … big money flows into big stories. Narrative matters. Image
5) Fundamental Power:
Most had EPS growth of 50%+ YoY and / or sales growth of 20%+. Institutions chase growth. Image
6) Liquidity to Handle Size:
$10M-20M+ average daily turnover made it possible to scale in and out without moving the stock. Image
7) Patience After Entry:
Many ran for weeks. I didn’t sell at +10% — I held above EMA8 or EMA21 until the trend broke. Image
8) Scaling Out Into Strength:
Taking 10–20% off on big up days locked in gains and reduced stress — without killing the trade. Image
9) No Additions in Weakness:
I only added on strength — reclaiming highs with volume. Adding in pullbacks often destroyed the trade. Image
10) Conviction From Preparation:
I knew the story, the chart, and the risk before I entered. That’s why I could hold through noise.
These patterns repeat.
I’ve taught them to thousands of traders.
I think everybody can learn them. Image

Blowing up trades? 🧨

It’s probably your position sizing — not your stock picks.

Here’s my simple rule set to size right and stay in the game 👇
1️⃣ Start With Position Size

In strong markets, my default is 10–15% of total capital per trade.
In choppy or bearish markets, I cut this in half.

The size you start with determines how much room you have to hold.
2️⃣ Risk Per Trade is Fixed

I never risk more than 1% of total capital on a single trade — no matter how good it looks.

The position size must match both the market conditions and the stop distance.

The first 30 minutes can make or break your day. ⏰

Most traders lose more here than they make all week.

Here’s how to use it for better trades — not blowups 👇 Image
1) Know the Flow
The open is a liquidity event — funds adjust, day traders chase, spreads widen.

Tip: Use smaller size early. oder wait 5-15 minutes. If the stock proves itself, you can always add.
2) Pre-Market Leaders
Focus on stocks already showing strength:

1. High relative pre-market volume (10-20% above avg.)
2. Strong leading theme or catalyst
3. Clean setups

Tip: Avoid stocks that act choppy or trade on low volume — they often fade fast.

I used to sell too early — every time. 😭🤬

+5%, +7%, sometimes +10%... and then I watched the stock explode another +50% without me.

Here’s how I fixed it — and how you can too (THREAD!) 👇 Image
1. I stopped trading junk setups.
You can’t hold weak charts with conviction.
I now only trade clean patterns — flags, tight bases, VCPs — with strong volume and a real theme behind them. You need to select real winning stocks that can move 50-100%!
2. I started sizing smaller.
Big size = emotional exits.
Smaller size = room to breathe.
If I want to hold 12 weeks or longer, I must trade an appropriate initial size to stay objective during pullbacks.

How I Handle Drawdowns (Without Changing My System) 🛡️💪

Most traders panic during drawdowns — and ruin the one thing that actually works: their system.

Here’s how I handle losing streaks like a pro — without blowing up my edge 👇
1. Zoom Out Fast
A 3-week drawdown feels massive… until you look at a 12-month equity curve. Context kills panic. Review from a wide-angle view.
2. No System Changes Mid-Storm
Drawdowns are part of any system. I don’t tweak rules in reaction. I wait until the data is clear. Never adjust during emotion.

Most traders obsess over entries. I focus on what happens AFTER. 👇
Here’s my full post-entry playbook — how I manage winners without stress, drama, or roundtrips.

(Bookmark this. You’ll need it every week.)
1. Partial Profits: Lock in strength
If the stock is up +10%+ on volume in a momentum setup, I trim 10–20%.
Not always — but when it runs hard fast, I lock in some gains.
It protects my equity and locks in progress.
2. EMA Trailing Stop: Use the 3+7 Rule
I use EMA8 or EMA21 to trail, but not from day one.
Only when:
– 3 clean retests of the EMA
– 7 weeks above it
This confirms the trend. Until then: I manage with structure.

3 stock trading setups I trade 👇

(YOU can learn them too!)
1) Breakouts from flags, consolidations etc.

This is my bread and butter setup.

- Stock made a big move like 50-100% in a couple of weeks.
- Extreme tight consolidation
- Higher lows inside the consolidation
- 3-5 weeks consolidation
- Strong volume in the prior momentum move
- Big growth in sales / EPS, hot storyImage
2) Breakaway gaps

Really good breakaway gaps are rare but they appear from time to time.

- Stock went nowhere since months
- Sideways consolidation or another big pattern
- Stock is in a long-term uptrend
- Gaps up on a catalyst like news, earnings etc.
- Huge volume on the gap up
- Price must open above the consolidation or close to it
- Big growth in sales / EPS, hot storyImage
