@CubbieBears Hey Ryan it was nice meeting you this was the symbol I was talking about the Relative strength is impressive. Cheers!

@Dev21X So I am not sure what the times are this year but last year the session was in the morning I think 9:00 am eastern went to 1:00 or 2:00 and then there was a recording of that session in the evening. I would reach out to the team they will have that information.

@Brandon_RTM3 What is the schedule on those days? It would be helpful to know the hours so that people like me would know if it can work for us - I'm in Pacific Time Zone

For those still on the fence about doing the Master Trader Program. I know it may seem like a big investment upfront (it was for me at the time) however it is THE BEST investment one can make for their financial future. Not only do you get all the charts and the incredible wisdom from my two favorite Mark's the program’s section on Risk Management has had a profound impact that extends far beyond trading. It’s completely reshaped how I approach risk in every area of my life—how I measure it, manage it, and make decisions with greater clarity and confidence!

IMPORTANT ANNCOUNCEMENT! We are considering staking/seeding a few traders over the coming years in what we are are calling 'seeds to oaks'. This is equal parts taking a trade all its own (investing in others) as well as a way to give back as what better way then to be sticky capital to those trying to figure this out same as we did years ago. If you’re interested, please submit your information—including your full name, contact info, background details, strategy, trading history, and any performance metrics (real trading P&L only; no hypothetical results)—to seeds2oaks@gmail.com. Please note this is an early-stage, beta process, so response times may be very slow to not at all.

Had a really good conversation(s) with my two 18yr old sons yesterday in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder and felt I should share at least how I'm currently praying as a local church leader. Not my usual so feel free to skip as there won't be ANY market stuff herein and trigger warning if you are anti-faith. I am and aspire to be a follower of Jesus of Nazareth and I generally try and let my life do the talking (James 2:18) vs my mouth, that being said I have tried to be a real follower of 'the way' (Christian was a derogatory term and has become widely misused and understood in our times, although I definitely am one) since I was roughly 16 and currently an elder/teacher/worship leader at my local church. There has been a quiet revival going in among youth in the US the last few years. You won't hear about it on the mainstream media but places like Asbury or recently Ohio State are evidence as is actual polling of the younger generation as well as things like bible sales. Faith in Christ is on the rise and guys like Kirk were a part of it. My prayer as a laid down lover of Jesus is that people would cling to him and remember that he asked for forgiveness of the very men who were nailing him to the cross! That is the radical love of God and the only thing that can soften a hard heart. There was a miracle working rabbi 2000 years ago who came with a message of Gods love and a ministry of healing and a call for repentance. He never harmed anyone (healed many) and only offended the religious/political order of the day. They nailed him to a cross thinking it would kill the movement and it has only grown ever since, they did the same to many of his early followers and to everyones surprise the movement only grew. That is the power of the Gospel. His kingdom isn't about politics as those things come & go but about ruling & reigning in human hearts (Luke 17:20-21). What if we came in the opposite spirit of the age and adopted what he actually preached on the sermon on the mount? 'Loving your enemies' and 'praying for those who persecute you'. Super hard, but that is what changes a culture and will only accelerate the move of faith that is happening in the youth or anyone growing in their faith. This is the amazing truth of the Christ centered life, no one can take it from you nor can death, because as Paul said many years ago you can't make laws against the 'fruit of the Spirit' such as love, joy, peace, patience...(Gal 5:22-23). Be blessed on what is a tough day for many and my heartfelt condolences to anyone feeling real heaviness out there.

Today marks 24 years since the attacks on American soil. We will never forget the lives lost, the heroes who rose, and the pain that changed us forever. In the aftermath of unimaginable tragedy, we found strength in each other. We stood united—not as strangers, but as one nation.

@RobbieMay @MarkRitchie_II 👍

@Brandon_RTM3 @MarkRitchie_II Appreciate it!

@MarkRitchie_II @Brandon_RTM3 Would you trade a power play that is still in a longer term stage 1? For context, this is a weekly chart that had a 200% move in 8 weeks and only gave back 19% in the last few weeks

@bhongjya Not sure what happened. We got it resolved and got it posted this morning sorry about the delay!

@Brandon_RTM3 Hi, Brandon. Was there an issue with yesterday’s session? The replay hasn’t been uploaded.

@TraderDor Thanks @TraderDor sounds like you are figuring it out keep it up! I am honored to be mentioned as a mentor that has helped in some way. That has been a goal of mine over the last few years to give back and help pull others up the mountain!

Sharing some thoughts here, haven't done so lately. I've been trading for around 4-5 years (even 6 if counting earlier more hobbish years). I've gone through the period of researching myself within the trading world, learning from so many traders, some are just awful some are absolutely legendary. As time went on and I got more experience and maturity I was much more decisive on who I can call a trading mentor, and I'll tell you guys, those are: @markminervini @MarkRitchie_II @Brandon_RTM3 @Trader_Dante @PeterLBrandt And the common character of all, they walk the walk and talk the talk, each and everyone in his own unique way is a phenomenal trader which speaks the real truth about trading.

@bhongjya @boichatea For trades that have stopped me out it all depends. At times it can be a lengthy list but as they drift lower and take out key lows and cant bounce I usually kick them off. Sometimes I will also use relative strength if it gets below say 90 RPR then I will delete it as well.

@Brandon_RTM3 @boichatea What about the losing side, sir? I saw a video where Mark listed stocks that broke out and later failed, even those from weeks ago. I tried to follow what he was doing, but the list became cluttered with too many stocks.

@Brandon_RTM3 Can I ask you a question? How long do you typically track leaders on your focus list to get a feel for the market texture? I usually remove names after about 2–3 weeks, but I sometimes miss evidence from a stock like $CRWD which took time before it follow through.

Thanks for the kind words, it helps when I am slugging through to know there are a few out there reading it. I wish I had more time to put in to it which I will once my kids get a little older. After 3 hours my wife is constantly asking when I am going to be done🤣. I enjoy doing it as it makes me slow down and articulate what I am looking at!

@Brandon_RTM3 Just thought Id let you know your Sunday Stock Analysis is always my fav of all the minervini education that comes out weekly. I really enjoy reading it weekly and always gain a lot of insight where/how/why you enter. Thanks Brandon!

IBIT has rallied over 46% now from the lows in April and has had two minor pullbacks of less than -5%!! And has now broke out of its base! Impressive!!!

@anishsikri @markminervini Oh man I am Jealous!!!

I had an absolute blast hanging out with Mark @markminervini (and new friends - thank you James and Wolf) at VIR—Thank you, Mark, from the bottom of my heart. You’re an inspiring force, and your generosity lifts everyone around you. I’m striving to follow in your footsteps, but your awesome actions keep raising the bar for success, pushing me to step up my game in the best way. It’s thrilling to chase that ever-higher goalpost, and I’m loving the journey to reach it! 🙏👍🏻

@AOljoff @JHB_Capital I would say a chart with VCP characteristics but also high relative strength 90 or above. In one of the four growth groups: Consumer/retail, Computer related software and services, drugs/medical, and leisure and entertainment

@Brandon_RTM3 @JHB_Capital ok i think thats understandable, thank you :) So the most important thing is a chart with VCP charakteristik? Or do you also enter positions after Breakouts above trendline or something like that? Thank you, i am glad to learn from you!

I really want the fundamentals but I will trade anything that has a high relative strength number of 95 or above. Remember stocks are forward looking so yeah maybe the fundamentals are not on the table yet but are coming and therefore the price action today is discounting that tomorrow. Institutions are the ones driving stock prices and that is what I am looking for. I also know they like growth but again sometimes they will anticipate future growth and start buying ahead of it and therefore you could have a stock setup with no fundamentals on the table but has been trading well.

@Brandon_RTM3 @JHB_Capital Thank you for your response! In general: Do you look at earnigns at all, or do you just trade the technicals and ignore the fundamentals?

Yeah, because it has a relative strength number of 98 and this is not trading on earnings but on the bitcoin holdings and yes I get that it is trading at many multiples of the actually value of the bitcoin they hold but clearly the price action is telling us the buyers are willing to accept that as it can go on these large runs in short order. But it is volatile so I want to see it set a tight pivot.

@Brandon_RTM3 @JHB_Capital Would you Buy MSTR, even there are no earnings?

@TheShadowHeDo Funny...I forget who but someone posted a chart on recent google searches on bitcoin and it was on its lows, Also even though we have an ETF now there are still many platforms that do not allow their clients to buy it. Meaning there is still plenty of demand out there!

@Brandon_RTM3 Tulip Mania...
