@JustRandomGuy_K @jfsrev @RealSimpleAriel Could you explain ">25% of initial pos only into 21EMA break"? It's not very clear to me. Do you mean selling/trimming at least 1/4 when price breaks down the 21 EMA? I'm interested as I'm developing a system similar to Jeff's but around the 21 EMA.

@jfsrev @RealSimpleAriel After reviewing my trades, most finish at 10-15 ATR extensions, however, a small amount keep going and the 21 EMA break is much much higher, so I developed the following selling rules. >25% of initial pos only into 21EMA break >75% saceld out ATR ext

@omengue @nicbarkeragain What's the difference? It's about software, and you most likely gonna work on less traffic services with less impact than those big companies. Debugging by yourself is dead. You LLM codes, your LLM debugs.

@TradingHorror @nicbarkeragain Like if every SWE in the world was working at FAANG...

One of the biggest problems with using LLMs as a google replacement for programming, is that getting zero relevant results on google used to be a signal that you had the wrong idea about the root cause. Whereas LLMs will happily indulge any terrible idea you suggest.

@S20ll @PrimeTrading_ He does not use MACD at all.

@PrimeTrading_ Not sure if you , is not what I meant with replay.

$CRCL new position for me today, I just couldn't ignore those 3 tight days at the rising 21dma-structure.

@OpenSea_8 @oratnek_ill Hi @OpenSea_8 , how do you classify by themes or where do you get them to classify stocks by themes? For now I'm using sectors and industries in my app.

I have worked on my own version of Theme Radar lately and it showed similar changes lately to Cybersecurity, Software and Space in additional to AI Semi. It is very helpful to get a sense of rotation based on actual price actions & momentum changes. Thank you for your daily sharing and inspiration!

I recommend checking RS Radar daily. It can help you build hedges for your portfolio, and if an industry you're not familiar with or not good at trading is ranking high, it can also help you decide to stop trading.

@fullthr0tll3 @denis__hamel @jfsrev Inflated ATR.

@denis__hamel @jfsrev So is the indicator @jfsrev recommends the correct formula? Or does this give the inflated ATR?

@andylee318 @oratnek_ill I have my own stock universe, do you rank all stocks using RS? Also, how do you identify the industry, for me it's more of a theme as industry would be software.

@oratnek_ill thanks for sharing consistently daily, you're my role model 👏 My own tracking also highlighted software security stock lately

The strongest industries right now are space and security stocks. If you've been consistently checking my RS Radar, this should come as no surprise. I've already taken partial profits on CRWD and reached Phase 3, where I'm just waiting for the final exit. If you've been following my portfolio, you know I took this position on May 7th. At the time, social media was flooded with talk about high-volatility semiconductor names. The point is, most of the information flying around on social media is noise. You need to see the market with your own eyes. Until last year, I used to post breakout and notable stocks while the market was open, but I've decided to stop. I don't want to be your noise. Coming back to security stocks, the leaders have already run up. CRWD's ATR% from 50SMA is above 10, showing signs of overheating. $ZS had a solid move yesterday. And $CRWD, $PANW, $S, $OKTA, $RBRK, and others still have earnings ahead. I'm watching closely to see how this industry moves going forward. Software too.

@FranVezz Let $QQQE at least kiss the 10 EMA please 🤣.

Good morning! A red morning after one of the most violent rallies we've seen? NORMAL! Chill.... Know your plan before the bell rings. If you're trimmed, with cushion, you're golden.

@investingluc I'm fighting against the urge to get quick profits, in this case fueled by my late entry to this bull market leg. I feel I added into positions late into it and want to quick profit and wait for a better entry point (patience...).

I do not take small profits. It is not a part of my strategy. I think in asymmetry, not hit rate. I do not need quick wins. My biggest profits come from playing the exponential game on the long side + letting gains compound multiple times over my initial stake. My only 3 outcomes are small loss (aggressively control downside), scratch/flat, or huge % win. This can vary by environment, but if it feels like you have to take "quick wins"...it's prob not an environment worth trading in. The obsession with hit rate/quick profits is what prevents most people from ever catching the biggest moves.

@PrimeTrading_ There is a big issue for me as I got late to this extended bull leg. Sounds easy but getting on board since last week felt like chasing. I've you've been lucky to get early positions and profit cushion, yes I understand this is easy mode. Otherwise still feels emotionally tough.

Don't Let a Lockout Trend Build You Bad Habits Right now is not a normal market. $QQQ is near 5x ATR off its 21ema. Leaders are 5-10 extended. Someone buys a stock at 3+xATR off the 21ema today, and it pays. Someone chases an extended breakout, and it pays. Someone adds to a name already up 30% on the month, and it pays. That's worth sitting with, because it's where bad habits get built. This tape is rewarding behavior that in a normal market doesn't work most of the time. You're not learning in the average environment — you're learning in a lockout trend, the rare regime where the rubber band keeps stretching and rest bars get bought before they develop. It's helpful if you were already positioned. It's a problem if it starts shaping how you enter trades going forward. The risk isn't today. The risk is what you carry into the next tape — the normal one, which comes back eventually. If this market convinces you that 3xATR entries are fine, that chasing works, that pullbacks into rising 21dma-structure are optional — you're building habits that won't hold up when the regime shifts. Credit Spreads will reclaim structure at some point. VIX will expand. MCSI will roll. When it does, traders who drifted from their process during the easy phase are the ones who give back the cycle's gains. So the job here isn't just to make money. It's to make money without changing the playbook. Before each trade, a simple check: would I take this in a normal market? If not, size it like the exception or pass. Trim into strength. Let setups come on pullbacks into rising 21dma-structure. Don't add into extension. When experienced traders trim and talk about extension as information — that's not bearish posturing. It's protecting the playbook. They've seen this cycle. Discipline isn't really tested when it's hard to make money. It's tested when it's easy. This is the easy phase. The process you keep in place now is what carries you through the harder one later. The market pays for discipline across cycles. Worth deciding which trader you want to be in two years, and trading like that trader today.

@TSDR_Trading @FranVezz Awesome control to have first trim after months. Definitely something to learn from it.

@FranVezz Trimmed about 1/3 of position into strength in Jan and have done nothing since with it.

$PL continues to be a great anchor for my account this year. Bought on 12/4/25 at $12.40. Trailed the MAs since. 9EMA, then the 20EMA, now the 50SMA. Just respecting price and trend.

Good move. Today I trimmed most of my PF, mainly because I entered this bull leg very late and don't have the cushion to support adding positions now. Will I miss more of the move? Probably, but the system I'm building tells me to stay patient and do not add exposure in an env so extended.

PORTFOLIO UPDATE 5/11 $ONTO $COHR $LITE $IBKR $QBTS $ORCL $TSLA $MU $ARM $BE $IBIT $GEV $GEV $VRT $VRT $CAT $NBIS $NBIS Hey guys! DAMN!!! What a day, haha. Solid momentum thrust in my PF, and I took that strength to trim a lot of exposure into strength today, as I am fully aware of the market extension.... and now we begin to have a divergence in breadth & internals. So not getting griddy, and definitely went off margin, and also decided to bring my NER down to 0. No new exposure with price being historically extended, and breadth starting to curl down. Look at my posts & reflection today...make sure to respect the market we're in and don,t build bad habits... the worst thing you can do is chase the market here and give back the gains you've made so far. NER is down to 0%, with a 13.4% Open Heat, and growing +16.03% Closed Delta on this market cycle. Risk is known and managed. Cheers HAGN! Today’s action: NEW: ADDED: TRIMMED: LITE, MU, GEV, COHR, TSLA, ORCL, VRT, IBIT, QBTS (that kind of day loll) OUT: CRWV

@PrimeTrading_ I entered Friday and today some stocks in the 21 EMA and working nicely, but really feels not the right time to start positions, but trim extended ones and rest for a bit till a correction. But, who knows.

Guys, don't want to overtrim, but I'm in a situation where I have a lot of position and majority top leaders, so I'm fine having less size in one name but have a solid alpha PF. 8%-ish day.... $QQQ historical stretched, I'm keeping back of my head and not being greedy. Have to reduce exposure, Open Heat and NER. Sitting at 120% exposure, and plan to sit there until my LLs break their structures. if CRWV fails then I'm down to 100% exposure, which will be a good spot to be in (off margin). Pay yourself along the way, raise your stops, and don't be gready....we are machines to re-engage when LLs pullback at their 21dma-structure...no need to FOMO that market will go to the moon without you from here. Enjoy the ride guys! 🐼✌️

@investingluc Awesome, never used the Latest News filter, so I will give it a try. Thanks for the screener!

Strength itself IS a catalyst. People ask me "what's the catalyst on this one?"...but you gotta understand relative strength IS the catalyst. It's a flywheel. Strength/momentum attracts: - capital $$$ - analyst coverage - media attention - options flow - institutions - stories + narratives ^relative strength is the match that lights all of these on fire...and once they're lit, the strength compounds on itself fast (+ the stock *usually* RIPS soon after). You def don't need 9 filters to monitor relative strength, but here's a setup I keep an eye on (see screenshot) Couple other ways to find relative strength: > simply scan for stocks making new 52 week highs while the market chops around...leaders show up fast. > stocks that refuse to go down on bad news Luc

@RealSimpleAriel Does futures give an overall perspective of market positioning in just plain stocks?

There is nothing with positioning that is making me negative. Yes price has gone up a fair amount and likely needs a pause, but I suspect that pause gets supported. $ES_F $NQ_F.

$CRWV So the company buys GPUs and losses money on everyone of them. Still I see the price and, well, it's been a pain in the ass.

@EnriqueVasquez @EnriqueVasquez El modelo de funcionario es el modelo de toda España ahora? Que manera de vender lo que no es. Pregúntale a las decenas de miles de extranjeros levantando este país para que los funcionarios se tomen su café y luego vendan lo bonito en las redes sociales.

Una de las cosas más increíbles de vivir en España es el contraste que nadie te explica bien. Conoces a personas en Estados Unidos que ganan $200, $300 mil dólares al año y que están ansiosas, exhaustas, medicadas, trabajando 70 horas semanales, sin vacaciones, sin tiempo para nada, mirando el techo a las tres de la mañana preguntándose cuándo van a poder parar. Luego ves España… Y ves a un tipo que trabaja de administrativo, que gana 1.800 euros al mes, que trabaja 40 horas a la semana, se toma un mes de vacaciones en agosto sin culpa, que come con calma, y se toma su café sin prisa, que los fines de semana desaparece del trabajo como si el trabajo no existiera. Y duerme perfectamente bien por la noche. La diferencia no es el dinero. Es el modelo. En Estados Unidos te venden el sueño de acumular. En España viven el presente sin disculparse por ello. La sanidad no te arruina. El despido no te deja en la calle sin red. Las vacaciones no son un privilegio que te ganas: son un derecho que nadie te discute. ¿Ganas menos? Sí. ¿Tienes menos? Depende de cómo midas. Porque si mides en horas de sueño, en almuerzos tranquilos, en años de vida sin ansiedad crónica, en poder enfermarte sin que te llegue una factura de $40,000… entonces la pregunta no es por qué España gana menos. La pregunta es por qué seguimos midiendo todo en función al dinero y no en función a la calidad de vida que tienes.
