@felipeguirao Thats great, does trading volume play a role in your trade setup or decision-making process?
English
You don't need to spend hours in front of your charts to make big returns.
I swing trade stocks, and here is my daily process:
- Show up 30 min before the NYSE close
- Open up TC2000 with all my pre-defined scans
- Look at my breadth indicators and indexes in 30 seconds (know the cycle)
- Get scanning for 10 minutes,
- Select stocks that meet my system rules
- If there are trades I enter just before the close,
- Put my stop loss,
- and close my computer...
Next day I came back to do the same.
I do all my trading in the last 20-30 minutes of my trading day.
A simple process I've done daily for years now.
It's effective, repeatable, and got me triple-digit % returns on avg for the past 6 years, with a <10% max drawdown.
You don't even need to be the first hours of the market open to enter breakouts.
You can swing trade, kill it, and still have a life to do other things.
That's what trading should be all about anyway.

@lolzmax I just stick to the long side on Biotechs with enough liquidity.
I never:
- trade very illiquid and nano/small cap Bios, and
- never short any bios.
Those are my rules.

Those who look for relative strength, this chart must be saying something...
My scans clearly do.

02 Oct 2025:
September Trading Recap -
The biggest nightmare of the market running hot while I went on holiday became a reality. Regardless, I continued to participate albeit on smaller size - you have to strike when the iron is hot! 🔨
Overall, I guess I did okay while travelling, but with the opportunities in September, this should have been the best performing month if I was on the desk. Results aside, what I am most happy about is seeing myself noticeably improve compared to the last run (Apr-May). Let's dig in:
Trading Stats (MTD +18.9%, YTD +223.0%) -
A Walkthrough of September -
Part 1: Chop Chop Chop 🪓
I concluded last month's recap stating that the market conditions felt increasingly hostile, as a large chunk of the gains I made post-Jackson Hole was given back (and that was a negative expectation breaker).
Therefore, headed into September, I was leaning short-biased, thinking stocks had room to the downside after an extended run off the April lows. The individual stocks were seemingly hanging by a thread at their respective 50-day moving averages, which had me thinking perhaps these were bear flags waiting to break down.
However, what my short sale operations brought me was a ton of chop to the account, downside moves lasted no longer than 1-2 hours and I just could not adjust! Hence my tweet (in frustration):
With a long holiday coming up in Japan, I thought that it would be appropriate for me to close shop and let the market sort itself out. 🤷♂️
Part 2: Chop -> Traction 📈
As I sat back and re-evaluated my market stance, I had noticed the HK equity market setting up.
The HK-listed $BABA (SEHK 9988) reclaimed it's US-listed gap lows while China's battery maker CATL (SEHK 3750) set up exactly like $ALAB. Those two made first blood as I found myself positioned in them for a run. 🩸
Next, I drew second blood on the $OCTO EP (8th Sept). This was a high conviction play given the nature of its news, sharing many parallels to $BMNR.
This I believe, was what sparked risk momentum across the market, with 5* opportunities in $IONQ $RGTI $OKLO breaking out strongly out of picture perfect weekly consolidation patterns shortly after (9th Sept onwards). To my annoyance, I had stalked these plays for the longest time, only for me to miss them completely. Size them right and you'll have a monster month!
Part 3: Market Heats Up -> Press Harder 🥵
As the momentum factor kicked into the markets, you would have noticed multiple thematics getting into gear and breaking out (drones, robotics, autonomous driving, AI data centers, etc.). I was then taking the setups as they came from the limited screening I could do:
$UGL $TSLL $SOLT $LEU $MP $CCJ $AG $WRD $SOUN $NBIS $CRWV $ORCL $XPEV $NIO $BILI $BIDU SEHK 981 SEHK 1347 SEHK 7226
Part 4: Pressing Too Hard -> Friction Warrants Foot off the Gas Pedal ⛽️🌬️
Towards the end of September, momentum noticeably stalled as we invited our first 3-day pullback last week since the indices $SPY $QQQ broke out to new all-time highs. I had found myself losing traction, encountering multiple stop outs from new positions and giving back equity curve gains.
-----------------------------------------------------------
What I Did Well -
+ The biggest breakthrough for myself was not dislodging everything on that 3-day pullback last week, as I still hold runners in multiple positions with good cushion. Recall in my May recap that I did exactly that and missed much more upside gains in $HOOD $CRWV $PLTR. That said, I did dislodge out of $UGL $NBIS as I took a bit of heat on stop outs last week, but in the grand scheme of things huge improvement.
+ The behavioral leakages is trending lower. Of course, I would want it much much lower ideally, but I'm happy for the time being in exercising much more restraint than before.
Room for Improvement -
- Controlling the pullback in my equity curve: At present, I've given back about 1/3 of the total monthly gains, landing me at +19% for the month, but based on my trading last week, I feel this could be MUCH less.
This can be achieved by holding all my runners and being quicker to reduce trading activity once momentum had stalled.
- In strong momentum markets when you can throw a dart, buy a stock, and see it run up 50% - recency bias really kicks in.
As the adrenaline/testosterone courses through your body like a Greek god, you will naturally loosen your trade criteria (thinking there is absolutely no way you will lose). That translates to taking sub-par setups, and I still have a habit of making this mistake as the rally progresses.
One thing that I find really helps is to do a quick simple write up of the stock on your focus list, list out all it's edges + 1-2 liners on why it should be bought/shorted. This is something I'll look to adopt as a habit going forward.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Closing Thoughts -
Overall, Q3 2025 featured my best trading this year. I still made a ton of dumb mistakes (and trust me I feel like an idiot every single day), but the key is in recognizing those mistakes early and course correcting asap.
Much more work for myself to do as we face the final quarter of the year. Let's keep going! 💪
