Top Performers in US Stock Market since 2000 I want to share a self-hosted stock research tool that identifies and visualizes the most powerful price moves in US equity market from 2000 to current date. It processes raw daily OHLCV data for over 12,000 US tickers — including delisted stocks — and surfaces the top 7% performers each year for in-depth chart study. Github link: github.com/willhjw/big_mo… The project is inspired by the trading methodology of Kristjan Kullamägi (Qullamaggie), which focuses on learning from stocks that made exceptional gains in a short period of time. By studying these historical moves in detail — their price structure, volume behavior, and timing — traders can develop a sharper eye for recognizing similar setups as they form in real time. This is also a use case for my open-source charting platform. github.com/willhjw/ib_cha… If you find this project helpful, welcome to buy me a coffee. buymeacoffee.com/willhu Disclaimer Stock data and any statistics or charts derived from it are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate or complete. You are responsible for independently verifying the accuracy and suitability of the data before using it for any purpose.

Staying off X or following way fewer people is actually a smart move, because there’s just too much noise on here that gets in the way of making money.

Self Awareness in a Hot Market In a hot 🔥 week with a great PnL, you can fall into either one of these 4 categories: 1) Flashing & know you deserve it 2) Flashing while it last only 3) Quiet & know you deserve it 4) Quiet & wonder if this is just the bull market Not to forget that there are also other categories: naive new traders who just entered the market; struggling traders who are still unprofitable; and veterans who have been missing out from most of this rally and wonder how they should “catch up” to others. Imagine what they are thinking now. Do you know which category you belong to, and what are your inner self whispering in your ears? The risk reward, volatility and the structure of market participants (% invested/ profit cushion/ desire for profit taking) and price levels are now different than from a few weeks ago. Note this is not saying that you should be bullish or bearish, but you have to know your own situation and have your own strategy on how you should deal with it. I have my own bias, but I have my own traction and risk tolerance to support it, you might not have. Just like how I was willing to hold through leaders in March, but you simply won’t, even if I told you that it would be a replica of 2025 as early as April. It is simply human nature, a rigid process plus our different beliefs. Remember this: Trading is not a competition, and social media is a popularity contest. You don’t have to be compelled to rush trades and sizes outside of your personality and process just because others are doing things differently than yours, or are at different places in the ranking. While cheering for your favourite follows, remember to focus on running your own race, and improving yourself. That’s what matters. Pictures 888 Hokkien Noodles and Fried Oyster at Penang

Anthropic is behind Akamai’s new $1.8B, 7-year cloud computing deal, after $AKAM only disclosed a “leading frontier model provider” on earnings.

While the ATR extension level of $IXIC is currently high, it hasn't yet reached the extremes seen in the 1990s. The white horizontal line represents the current extension; in contrast, the 1990s saw the level extend beyond the 10x mark on multiple occasions. I’m not saying we’ll definitely reach the same level of madness as the 90s, but AI is also unprecedented. Who’s to say this extension level can’t reach unprecedented heights as well?

May 07 Daily Review: Pullback The major indices remain resilient, though AI infrastructure saw a sharp pullback today. Conversely, cybersecurity and software showed relative strength, highlighted by CRWD’s 8% move. Given the current extension in the indices, the market is at an inflection point; I am monitoring whether we see a meaningful pullback or a consolidation through sideways price action. In other sectors, BTC is retreating below its 200MA, with ETH tracking the weakness. Precious metals continue to trend higher following their breakout above the 20EMA, while copper is exhibiting leadership characteristics. Meanwhile, oil remains range-bound, chopping between its 20 and 50EMA. I proactively reduced exposure throughout the session. By trimming positions where my conviction was lacking, I successfully de-risked the book ahead of a potential market pullback.

May 06 Daily Review: Acceleration The equity market continues to grind higher, showing signs of acceleration as indices push to fresh record highs. It appears the rally may require a blow-off top in AI-related names before any meaningful exhaustion occurs. Meanwhile, sector rotation is evident, with rare earth and uranium stocks beginning to gain traction. In crypto, BTC is encountering resistance at the 200-day moving average, suggesting a period of consolidation before a potential breakout, while ETH remains a relative laggard. Commodities show strength in copper, which has cleared a cup-and-handle base, and silver, which is reclaiming its 50-day EMA; gold remains comparatively weak. Oil undercut its 50-day EMA but reclaimed the level following geopolitical headlines.

What Qullamaggie said before when market was very overbought always one foot out of the door, stay cautious but not bearish "I’m always one foot out of the door, since the markets are kinda extended, and every indicator is saying very overbought. But the thing is, if we go into a blow off move, looking at the Nasdaq, everyone’s been calling to top for years and years. What if we start speeding up, what if we speed up and go to like 11k, 12k, just like in the late 90s? So I don’t think there’s any reason to be bearish. Cautious yes, but bearish? Absolutely not. Until the strong price action in the indices change, and in my long positions change, you know, that’s when I sell. But right now, things are acting really well, and that’s why I’m heavily invested right now."

@traderwillhu Love this look - where are you getting the stocks and themes? Is there a database somewhere? TYIA!

May 05 Daily Review The broader market remains resilient, showing a willingness to overlook earnings misses, as evidenced by the price action in $LITE. While AI-related sectors continue to lead, non-AI groups are struggling, reinforcing the need to maintain a narrow focus on high-relative-strength themes. $FLY, $LUNR, and $CCJ all gapped and failed, closing poorly despite some positive fundamental catalysts. The IXIC has reached an ATR extension multiple of 7, signaling a highly extended market. However, this does not necessitate an immediate sharp pullback; the index could just as easily bleed off this extension through sideways consolidation or a slow grind higher, similar to last year’s price action. I am prioritizing individual stock selection and relying on disciplined stop placement to manage my exposure. Elsewhere, BTC remains strong, clearing the 81K level with potential room toward the 200DMA, while ETH shows relative weakness. Precious metals are soft, though copper has reclaimed its previous session’s losses. Oil continues to consolidate above the 8D EMA, forming a constructive bull flag.

May 04 Daily Review: May the force be with me. Market rotation is underway. Software and crypto, both heavily beaten down this year, appear to have carved out a bottom and are leading today’s session, while previous leaders in CPU and photonics consolidate. If hardware pulls back while software rotates into a leadership role, the index should remain range-bound—an ideal environment for stock picking. BTC has cleared the 80k level, though ETH remains relatively weak. Precious metals are showing weakness, presenting a clean short setup in both gold and silver, while copper has broken below its 20 EMA, failing to hold its cup-and-handle formation. Conversely, oil maintains relative strength, printing a bull flag above its 20 EMA.

May 01 Daily Review The market remains robust, characterized by healthy sector rotation. While conditions are technically overbought, the current momentum mirrors last year’s trend where the market sustained these levels while individual stocks continued to break out. Memory names gapped down only to reverse to all-time highs, while CPU and photonics sectors continue to lead. Recent earnings from TWLO and TEAM suggest that select software companies are successfully navigating the AI transition; should the IGV bottom here, we may see early leaders emerge from this group. In crypto, BTC and ETH price action has improved, with BTC poised for a potential breakout from its base above 80K. Conversely, precious metals remain weak, though copper is currently forming a cup-and-handle pattern. Oil is pulling back to the 8EMA, where it has successfully found support.

Apr 30 Daily Review: Respect the Trend. The IXIC undercut the 8EMA before breaking out of a tight flag, though the intraday price action remained choppy. IWM displayed relative strength against the broader indices, and breadth is expanding into lower-liquidity names and speculative "shitcos." Sector-wise, strategic minerals, space, quantum, and photonics led the session. In crypto, BTC pulled back to the 20EMA to form a bull flag, suggesting potential upside, while ETH remains relatively weaker; both assets are currently trapped in Stage 4 or early Stage 1 bases. Precious metals remain below key moving averages, though copper is constructing a handle above its 20EMA. Oil staged a strong move following a wedge breakout and may retest 52-week highs, though equities appear largely decoupled from energy volatility at present.

@traderwillhu Hi, thanks for posting this, how did u come up with leaders and do u have a tool to track such rotation?

Apr 29 Daily Review: Underinvested Now. AI-related leaders remain robust, with INTC, NOK, and SNDK continuing to print new highs. Conversely, other tech sub-sectors, specifically space and crypto-related equities, show persistent weakness. Lithium and oil stocks are currently basing, exhibiting signs of volatility contraction. In the broader markets, ETH and BTC continue to display relative weakness. Precious metals remain soft; gold and silver are struggling, though copper is showing relative strength as it pulls back to its 20-day EMA. Oil remains very strong, while the energy sector consolidates, likely awaiting a breakout in the underlying commodity to drive the next leg higher.

"Be patient. Let the market re-set. After a nice run it often takes a couple weeks for things to re-build and re-set." - Oliver Kell

Apr 28 Daily Review: Be patient. The broader market saw a mild pullback, though AI-related names sold off aggressively following morning headlines regarding OpenAI. My positions in NBIS and CRWV were stopped out, which was a painful realization of the current weakness. Conversely, BE and STX reported strong earnings, driving a post-market rally in memory stocks that provided a tailwind for the SOXX sector. Elsewhere, rare earth names pulled back sharply, and space stocks failed to find follow-through after yesterday’s bounce at the 20-day EMA. Photonics names like GLW and LITE are also losing their 20-day EMA support, suggesting these sectors may require a multi-week or multi-month consolidation period. In commodities, gold, silver, and copper all broke down, while oil successfully broke out of a three-day tight range to trend higher. ETH and BTC remain weak, and I have no interest in participating in that tape.
