Most traders think they need a "perfect strategy" to win

I made $95k in 1 month following a simple approach.

All you need to is find momentum in the markets

Here is how to do it using a simple and repeatable strategy:👇🧵

To start off, we have to understand the point of this strategy..

The goal is to simplify trading and look for repeatable setups to trade

We want to take advantage of strong market trends & use the leverage of options for a low risk high reward approach

Using big momentum swings in the markets we can catch the biggest moves

we want to be in the strongest stocks in the market that institutions are pouring into

That way when the markets move higher these will be the leading stocks and when markets move lower these sectors and stocks will hold up well

Momentum is rooted in human psychology.

When a stock is trending strongly (up or down), buyers and sellers pile in, reinforcing the move. This persistence creates opportunities to ride waves.

1. Finding market strength and weakness

The easiest way to find out if the markets are trending is to:

Pull up a chart on tradingview.com

and add the 8, 21, 50 EMA's

EMA's can be used as a momentum gauge for when the markets are the hottest and stocks follow through the most.

2. Framework

Now that we have the EMA's on the chart, we can make some rules for when we want to be active in the markets.

Use $SPY / $QQQ

1) Whenever $SPY / $QQQ are above the 8/21/50 EMA's, we want to be long with full size/conviction

2) Whenever $SPY / $QQQ are below the 8/21/50 EMA's, we want to use smaller size or completely avoid trading

This way we have a guide for when markets are going to be following through, and our strategy will be the most effective.

We can also use this on the individual names we are swing trading to narrow down our criteria.

3. Finding leading stocks

Easiest way to scan for leading stocks and themes is to use: tradingview.com

Click on screener(bottom right corner)

We want to narrow it down to search for liquid stocks that are leading on volume

Here are the parameters I use in my scan:

Price: Over $3
Market cap: Over $300m+
Volume: Over 500k
Change: Over 0.01
ADR: Over 2%

And most importantly the 21 and 50 EMA's below price to find leading names

Now we have a list of the strongest and most liquid stocks in the market

Sort the list by volume highest

This scan will show you the strongest stocks starting to ignite out of big bases

4. Setup

You are now looking for a chart that is setting up in a tight base with a tight pattern forming

The goal is to find names that are either just breaking out or about to breakout of tight bases

Use this checklist
1. Tight pattern or base
2. decreasing volume on consolidation
3. Setting up above the moving averages

Below are some examples of setups I look for

The goal is to scan through all these stocks and look for setups that match our criteria

we want to find a few of the best looking stocks and create a watchlist.

By focusing on only a few of the best setups in the markets we can stop ourselves from overtrading and focus on executing our plan.

Less is more.

A name that caught my attention on my scan: $RKLB

The stock is setting up in a big daily base

Moving averages are catching up

leading theme in aerospace

volume decreasing in consolidation and increasing in expansion

relative strength to markets

5. Entry

The easiest way to enter is to find a trigger level for the breakout

What I look for, is a previous level of resistance that price has rejected multiple times

In this example, you can see the $50 price level has rejected multiple times

If price breaks over that level, then we can assume a daily breakout is likely to occur

We want to confirm the breakout with lots of volume over the trigger level

Entry is taken on a break above the trigger level

For confirmation, we want to see high volume on a break out of the base.

For example $SMR recent base breakout:

-Leading stock in nuclear theme
-Breaking out of a tight daily base

Enter long at the break above the the trigger level

We can use the 5m time frame to confirm our entry.

First 5m close above our level triggers long entry.

Stop loss is placed on the low of the daily candle that broke trigger

to make sure that we manage our risk in case of a failed breakout

there is no 100% win rate strategy every strategy will have losers but this strategy is meant to keep losses small and winners big

you must respect your stop loss.

7. Targets

Take profits at previous resistance levels

If price is making new all time highs, use Fibonacci levels to scale out.

My scale out strategy is 25% of the position at a time and moving up stop to break even after first trim.

after third trim you leave runners with a trailing stop at 8 EMA

This sets you up for a huge r/r trade

for breakouts we do not want the stock to comeback to our entry level

the strongest stocks will lockout traders and keep running

this is why this scale out strategy works so well to hold winners

This works best when markets are very strong and setups are firing(above moving averages)

Always listen to the markets

Like any other strategy this is not a holy grail strategy but there's a reason why some of the best traders in the world swing strong names, and buy leading stocks in leading sectors.

I've personally used this strategy to catch:

$CVNA at $20
$HOOD at $15
$PLTR at $40
$JOBY at $9
$RKLB at $8

And many more big winners

I post these setups every night on my twitter with trigger levels, option contracts, and targets.

So you can follow along, and learn the strategy.
