FABIAN 🇨🇭

The biggest acceleration in my trading career didn’t come from a new strategy. It came from changing my environment! A short thread 👇

If anyone tells you that in order to be successful in trading you need to make some unknown discovery on your own... This is a lie!! - I learned about volatility contraction and progressive exposure from Mark. @markminervini. - I learned about momentum bursts and Episodic pivots from Pradeep @PradeepBonde - I learned about the importance of creating a model book for myself with 100s of past examples. As well as the idea of focusing on higher ADR stocks from Kristjan @Qullamaggie - I learned about stage analysis from Stan @StanWeinstein13 - I learned how to read and interpret COT data from Jason @Crowded_Mkt_Rpt - I learned the right side of the V concept and proper bet sizing on A+ opportunities from Lance @TheOneLanceB - I learned to think a little more contrarian from watching @TheShortBear - I learned about the flat base breakout and value in leading groups from @PatrickWalker56 - I learned about the HVC/HVE edge from @AmeetRai - I learned about trading more aggressively during high momentum periods from @DanZanger - I learned about the Undercut and rally or Double top short sale setups from Gil Morales @gilmoandco - I learned how to think about creating and implementing systems from @Peoplewish - I learned the failed follow through setup on an intraday timeframe from @InvestorsLive - I learned about the importance of prior day channels from @danshep55 - I learned about support and resistance gaps for entries from @NickDrendel - I learned about using the 50sma as a guide to measure extensions from @jfsrev - I learned about creating a daily trading plan from Marcel Link. - I learned about the CANSLIM methodology from Bill O'neal I'm sure there are many I missed but the point is: Trading knowledge is passed down from one generation to the next. But it is up to us, the trader, to implement what we have learned in a safe manner while we put together all the pieces for ourself. We live in a time where you DO NOT need to make up some magical elixir for trading in order to be successful. All the people mentioned above have found an exploitable edge in the market, and like myself relentlessly execute that edge over and over. I am personally grateful for all of the educators I've had along my journey; which is part of the reason I so willingly share any bit of knowledge I acquire along the way. The same way they all graciously imparted knowledge on me.

@edgeofsteve @RealSimpleAriel @NickDrendel 💯

I want to give a shoutout to @RealSimpleAriel and @NickDrendel, who are giving an absolute daily masterclass in swing trading through Market Pulse They are on the mic 🎙️ everyday sharing priceless wisdom on risk management, entry tactics, and market environment. It's an education in real time that is available no where else. 👏

@edgeofsteve Congrats @edgeofsteve . Impressive in this environment! Are you mostly short?

Hanging in there with 4th place, 21.5% return💥 This is a market for surviving, not thriving. Huge opportunity brewing in the coming months.

@USICOfficial Nice to see you up there @CFlanders7 🔥

@PeterLBrandt @PeterSchiff Bold statement. Markets usually need more pain before that.

Hey @PeterSchiff I am giving it a 75% probability that this week's low or maybe slightly lower will be the low for Gold for years to come

@TheOneLanceB Supply shocks don’t resolve in a day. They build pressure… then reprice violently.

At the start of the Iran war, I made a video that said oil is not like silver. This was a real supply-side disruption that is fundamentally driven. And that the oil experts that never panic or freak out, were in total panic and freaking out. That remains even more true today. While generalists and flat price remains shockingly complacent.

@RealSimpleAriel Labels are lagging. Price is leading.

If you wait for the $SPY $QQQ to go down 20%, and for CNBC to call it a "Bear Market", before you start shorting.... News flash, you would have already missed the best opportunities to short!

@PeterLBrandt Funny how people doubt charts until price reacts exactly where it should.

Note to cryptomaniacs I find it amusing when I read on X chatter that charting does not work on an asset like Bitcoin.🤣 Actually, Bitcoin obeys the rules of classical charting (Schabacker, Edwards/Magee) better than most markets What you think does not matter to me $BTC

@gilmoreport Nice 6/20 setup today. Love it.

I have been looking for an upside rip in precious metals, but I have to say this is not occurring exactly the way I expected, but then in this market you absolutely have to expect the unexpected. Yoww!!! #Gold #Silver

@RealSimpleAriel Yep we need this unwind for a reset.

Market starting to lose $NVDA into a stage 4 trend. 1 trillion dollars in capex spend couldn't save the biggest company in the world. $AVGO another top 10 market cap company living below the 200sma.

@CFlanders7 Thanks for sharing. Worth studying. I know a lot of swing traders who gave back everything they made last year in this choppy market.

This kind of environment would be the most dangerous: Dec 2014 to June 2016. Any weakness would be exposed. Many active traders would get wiped out.

@TaPlot @mwebster1971 Love it; see you together guys.

There were cries and laughs in this one and Mike was the perfect person to do this with. Something I will cherish for a very long time. Should be out soon! @mwebster1971 ⏬⏬

@LeifSoreide Hard times for the US Investing Championship attendees. Same like 2022. Do it like the winner in the million division @sameersid !

Trading tip: Don't trade this hard when the market is too volatile. 📉 We are all guilty of this from time to time. Probably the main issue for US Investing Championship competitors this year... Trade like this when things get hot 🔥 and you can't miss:

@TheShortBear The real risk isn’t bad news. It’s when good news stops working.

Markets losing faith. headlines barely helping at this point, empty promises and non-stop contradictory statements are exhausting bids as Institutional players move to the sidelines. The market is clearly showing us it wants a resolution.

@TheOneLanceB @TraderLion Everyone is looking for complexity… Meanwhile the edge is doing simple things exceptionally well.

Wow, what an honor to have the most-watched video on the @TraderLion channel! A true classic on trading with the trend 🙏

@CFlanders7 This game humbles everyone first. The few who stay, adapt and endure… eventually get paid.

Results for USIC by year. 2020 was one for the record books. Appreciate how hard this game is. Just being profitable is difficult. I have spoken to traders who were profitable and chose not to report but they probably make up a small # of the traders who enter. Even if you bump the numbers up by a few %, on average only ~20% report being profitable for any year.

@markminervini @epictrades1 Bear markets don’t kill capital. Overtrading in bad conditions does.

The market's character is still one of a bear market or cyclical correction; strong open, fade into close and major average living below the 200-day line. Before a reliable bottom can be established, we need to see better price and volume action, including better action from breakout names forming bases. We are clearly NOT out of the woods yet. The market backdrop is one where sentiment has improved with rising pessimism, but not a full capitulation. The VIX has reached bear warning levels, but remains below true washout extremes. A volatility washout is not required for a bottom, but would add conviction. Bullish Scenario --The war ends --Oil prices recede --Stagflation concerns ease --Central banks continuing their easing trajectory Under this scenario, we would expect: -A broadening market advance -Emergence of new leadership from sound bases -A Follow-Through Day (FTD) on the NYSE and/or NASDAQ confirming institutional buying with little in the way of immediate distribution -Significant drop in volatility Bearish Scenario --The war persists or escalates --The Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted --Oil prices make new highs --Stagflation becomes evident in hard economic data This would likely result in: -Limited general market rally attempts with most breakout stocks failing -Lack of follow-through from breakout names -Further deterioration in breadth and leadership -Dearth of setups in buyable position -Continued elevated volatility and distribution In that case, sentiment would likely need to reach higher levels of pessimism before a durable market bottom could form. In its absence, and end to the factors that are pressuring the market could cause the market to bottom in less dramatic fashion.

@AmeetRai Thanks for sharing yesterday Rai. I owe you a 🍺

Added $LWLG to the HV Watchlist on March 12, 2026. Starting to setup.

@IUTraders @AT09_Trader Thank you @nieto for that great interview. We need more of these. Keep up the good work.
