If you want to grow fast as a trader, study the BEST SETUPS again and again. The 5-STAR ones. The ones that actually move your equity curve.

I added 5 clean examples in the thread 👇 1) $AEHR 2021 - Moved 274% before it took off again.

Most traders don’t fail because their setup is bad.
They fail because they can’t repeat it. 🤯

Consistency = Same Setups, Same Rules.

Here’s how to build it 👇 1. Pick One Setup

Stop chasing every pattern. Choose ONE you understand deeply (e.g. breakouts from tight bases). Trade it until you know it inside out. Mastery beats variety.

Most traders fail not because they don’t know what to do — but because they can’t do it consistently. 😵‍💫

Here’s how to fix that 👇 1. Trade the same setups

Consistency means repeating the same patterns again and again. Define your setups and trade it — nothing else.

Most traders buy random charts.
Pros only buy A+ setups.

Here’s my 5-Star Setup Checklist 👇 1. Clean Base:
The chart should show a tight consolidation or flat base near highs. No sloppy patterns or high volatility.

Advice to my 21-year-old trader self.
Here are 9 lessons I wish I knew in my 20s 👇

(Don’t make these mistakes) 1. Stop hunting the holy grail.

There is no perfect system. Pick 1–2 strategies that fit you and commit. Build on proven models like CANSLIM – and make them your own.

Most traders panic out too early. 🥵

But when you’re +20% in a stock, everything changes.

Here’s the Cushion Effect — and why it’s the key to holding big winners 👇 1️⃣ What is Cushion?

It’s the profit buffer you build once a stock moves +20% or more in your favor. That margin changes how you think — and how you manage the trade.

Most traders get shaken out too early. 😲

The solution? Trailing stops with EMAs.

Here’s exactly how I use EMA8 & EMA21 to hold winners longer 👇 1️⃣ Why EMAs Work

Moving averages reflect trend strength. EMAs (Exponential MAs) react faster than SMAs — perfect for momentum stocks. They let you ride trends without guessing

Cut losses fast — or they cut you. ⚡

Risk management rules that keep me in the game 👇 1. Max 1% Risk:

Every trade is sized so a stop-out costs max 1% of capital. It’s not about avoiding losses — it’s about making sure they never grow large enough to take you out of the game.

Here is the formula for the right number of shares: (1% x trading capital) / (Entry – Stop loss)

The 15-Minute Morning Scan That Finds Big Movers 📈🚀

I don’t spend hours hunting trades.

My scan takes 15 minutes — and it catches 90% of my biggest winners.
Here’s exactly how I do it 👇 1) Start with momentum screener

Every big move starts with money flowing into a stock. That's why I look for momentum. Stocks that are up 70% or more from their 52 weeks low show momentum.

Here's a scan I use: finviz.com/screener.ashx?…

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.

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 👇 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.

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!) 👇 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%!

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.

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.

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.

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 story

How I mastered selecting stocks that can move 50–100% in weeks 👇
(Start now learning!)

It wasn’t luck. It was a repeatable process. Here’s what changed everything for me: 1. I stopped chasing noise

No news trades, no hype stocks. I only focused on emerging themes with real momentum: AI, robotics, quantum computing, space, biotech, rare earth metals etc.

We traded $CRWV for a +125% gain in just 4 weeks.
Yes, the stock kept going — but this was still a textbook trade.

Let’s break it down step by step 👇 (thread) #1 Short term IPO patters

Good short term IPO pattern are rare. They usually work only in the right market.

After the IPO the stock moves sideways for a couple of weeks or days before it moves higher.

The demand is so high that the stock will not have a long consolidation.

Why and how I use a Market Trend Model to increase the probabilities to win 👇

(You should have one too!) #1 The simplest market trend model (not in the screenshot!)

The simplest market trend model is an EMA 21 or a combination of an EMA 8 and 21. It's free and you can use it any time. If the price is above both moving averages and both are rising, you go long. Otherwise you are in cash.

It is great, robust and free to use. You can apply it in every chart software.

The irony of trading:

The moment you stop trading for money and start trading well, the money follows.


Took me years to understand this. Here’s why 👇 #1 Everybody comes to the stock market to make money. It's the only goal, right?

Maybe. I see it differently today. I came for the money, but stayed for the game.

The process brings fun to me: Researching great companies, discovering awesome charts, staying patient until you get the right chance. That's what challenges me every day!

The world's best traders don't rely on spontaneous trades.

They rely on clear, almost boring daily trading routines.

Here is how and why 👇 #1 Routines help to keep focus and consistency

I have the same routines day in and out. They are part of my trader mindset. I optimized them over the years and fitted them to my personality.

In my routines I include technicals as well as mental parts. My goal is to keep the same level of quality every day.
