Most #traders chase the #gap. I wait after it.👇 Late-gap entries work better for me than trading the initial gap — and there’s a simple reason: The first gap shows interest. The setup after it shows commitment. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Confirmation first: A big gap tells me institutions are buying. But I don’t need to be first. I want to see if the stock can hold those gains and build structure. 2. Let weak stocks fail: Many gap-ups fade and never recover. Good. That’s free information. I remove them and focus only on the ones that stay strong. 3. Wait for structure: The best ones pull back, tighten up, and go sideways for a few days or weeks. That’s where volatility contracts and risk becomes clear. 4. Define the entry: I’m not guessing the top or chasing strength. I enter when the stock starts to follow through from that tight area. 5. Control the risk: These setups often allow 3–5% stops. That’s exactly what I want — small risk with the chance for a big move. 6. Align with real demand: If a stock gaps, holds, and continues — that’s not retail. That’s institutional support. 7. Better risk-reward: I don’t need to catch the first move. I want the bigger move that comes after the setup. 8. Repeatable process: Scan for big gap-ups → track them daily → wait for structure → execute when it’s ready. Not every gap-up becomes a winner. But the ones that build tight structure after the gap… are often the next leaders. These patterns repeat. I trade them again and again. I’ve taught this process to thousands of traders. You can learn it too.

Qullamaggie: "I want to see higher lows, tightening ranges, and relative strength, cut 99% of things that don’t matter and your trading results will improve." @billyonaire__/i-didnt-ask-for-permission-kristjan-kullam%C3%A4gi-mock-interview-fb3c51509c23" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@billyonaire__… One of the simplest, repeatable, structural patterns to trade is to look for: 1) Strong leg up. These should be obvious range expansion bars. Bars much bigger than recent price action - at least one, but preferably 3-5 large range bars. Volume will also usually be much much higher than usual on the expansion bars. These bars with obvious range and volume expansion should clearly tell you there's demand for the stock. Stocks without strong demand don't go anywhere very fast. This is the first requirement - trade stocks in demand now - not six months ago - but showing strong demand very recently. I color the bars purple with the simple formula h-l>avg(h-l,10) just so I can clearly see them. 2) After the range expansion, you are looking for tight ranged bars. You can do this visually by looking for bars that are much smaller relative to recent bars. Or you can use other tools, like color bars ( or bollingerband width to tell you when price action is tighter on average. I color narrow ranged bars white with the formula h-lترجمہ

Q showing a 7 star setup on a 5 star scale. "this is like a big big move, goes sideways. builds a tight range, and look at how tight it gets look at this thing, it breaks out and boom. this is like a seven star setup on a five star scale. memorize this this is the basic principle we're trying to like stocks move like stairs. right, you get a leg higher, sideways, leg higher, sideways you get another step higher, sideways, step higher sideways, so we are trying to identify the areas when the next step higher could be formed. you know tight areas we're looking for tight areas so we can get a tight stop so we can get a good risk reward. This is how stocks move. like this one is kind of a perfect one most are not perfect but this is the basic principle this is how stocks have moved in 100 years and there is no reason they should stop moving like this just because you're getting started in trading..."

If you don't have a crystal clear understanding of your strategy, and the environment needed for that strategy to thrive, then you will remain seduced by "action" until you gain that understanding.

Most simply CAN NOT wait for an environment conducive to their style. 1 - Define what that environment is. For me, Follow Through IS the environment. 2 - Address the battle going on between your ears, fueled by the noise you ingest. That’s where your struggle usually lies.

Stocks with momentum always have relative strength, but stocks with relative strength don't always have momentum. Knowing the difference is important.

@humanityisone1 The method, just like the market, is fractal, meaning it can be used on any timeframe. You have to understand the dynamics and tradeoffs of using this on a 60 min versus daily versus weekly.

@AsymTrading What timeframes should b used

@GNapatov My entries are the same as most of my trades. I trade breakouts on price/volume expansions above tights congestion areas. $UMAC I was stopped out of once, but reentered. The market has been lacking follow through lately so not surprised you've been clipped out a few times.

@AsymTrading May I ask your entries for RCAT and UMAC? I have not found an entry for RCAT, as I was more focused on UMAC on Monday. UMAC I have tried multiple times this week but stopped out b/e each time. And b/e stop with ONDS today. Frustrated right now 🙃

Some things developing but keeping it light.
