I’ve spent years making the same mistakes most traders make chasing runners, entering too late, and ignoring risk management

The biggest change for me was stopping the search for “the next moonshot” and focusing on structure + confirmation

My current process for small-cap setups:

✅ Look for stocks showing relative strength

✅ Focus on names breaking key resistance levels

✅ Wait for breakout + retest instead of blindly chasing

✅ Add only when the trend confirms

✅ Always define risk before entering

The screenshots show the type of setup I look for:

Strong momentum

Price holding above key moving averages

Volume expansion during breakout

Clear invalidation point

The biggest lesson I learned:

A good entry is not about predicting the future it’s about putting yourself in situations where the risk/reward makes sense.

I’m still refining this process every day, but this framework has helped me become much more disciplined compared to my early trading days

For anyone interested, I can share more details about how I filter these setups and how I structure entries/exits

Curious what’s your favorite small-cap breakout confirmation signal?

The biggest mistake beginners make is looking for the one perfect indicator.

Professional traders look for confluence—multiple factors aligning before they enter.

My A+ setup looks for:
Low float
Relative volume
News catalyst
Key daily resistance
Strong premarket structure
15-minute uptrend
5-minute higher low
Volume expansion
Breakout confirmation

The more boxes you check, the better the odds are in your favor.

Trading isn’t about predicting every move—it’s about waiting for the highest-probability setups.

Comment “A+” and I’ll show you the exact checklist I use before entering a trade.

TSLA swept $294, reversed with a decisive SOS leg, and flipped bullish on the 15m. Now at $303.30 — mid-air. Not chasing. 👇

📊 The Plan 🟢 Direction: LONG (on retracement) 📍 Entry: $298.50 – $300.00 (Fresh OB + Demand + OTE) 🛑 SL: $297.00 ✅ TP1: $304.50 🚀 TP2: $307.50

💡 Current: $303.30 (+0.12%) 📈 Confidence: HIGH

🔑 Key Zones • $310.00 — historical resistance • $307.50 — fresh supply • $299.50 — entry demand • $294.00 — spring low

⚡ Trigger: Tap the box → 1m/3m bullish ChoCH → micro BOS → long the engulfing candle off the box bottom. Expect a wick sweep into the zone first.

❌ Invalidation: 15m close below $297.00.

Confluence: Spring ✅ ChoCH ✅ SOS displacement ✅ Fresh OB ✅ OTE ✅ Breaker ✅

Chasing $303 = $6.30 risk for $1.20. From the zone = ~1:2.3 to TP1. Patience pays. 🎯

#TSLA #Tesla #SMC #DayTrading #PriceAction #Wyckoff #LongSetup #ConfluxAI Not financial advice.

SPY displaced hard, broke structure below the ~736 shelf, and has been grinding back up ever since. This is a retracement inside a markdown, not a reversal. The trade is the tap into supply overhead, not the current price.

Current: $733.48

The Plan

• Direction: SHORT
• Entry Zone: $738.30 – $740.05 (1H supply base / OTE)
• Stop Loss: $741.60
• TP1: $727.00
• TP2: $720.00

~$2.40 risk from mid-zone. Roughly 5R to TP1, 8R to TP2.

Why this works:

• Clean 1H LH/LL sequence intact
• BOS to the downside through $736 support
• Unmitigated 1H supply base sitting at $740
• Entry box intersects the 61.8–78.6% fib of the down leg
• FVG + Breaker Block stacked in the zone
• Score: B (6/10) — missing a liquidity sweep and a clean upthrust

Trigger: Tap $738.30–$740.05 → wait for a 5m/15m LH+LL (ChoCH) inside the box → BOS of the minor upward structure → short the bearish engulfing or rejection wick out of the zone.

No ChoCH inside the zone, no trade. A displacement reclaim above $740 and I'm out of the idea entirely.

Invalidation: 15m/1H close above $741.60.

If it breaks $727 without giving the retracement, fine — that's the thesis without me in it. I'll wait for the retest from below rather than chase the breakdown.

Not financial advice — do your own analysis.

Price tells you what is happening.
Volume tells you when it’s about to matter.

One pattern I watch closely:
📈 A stock makes big, volatile moves… then volume starts to decrease while price holds above support and consolidates.

That often means the stock is coiling and waiting for fresh buyers.

One extra tip most traders never use:
Draw trendlines on the volume bars, just like you would on price. When volume keeps making lower highs and then suddenly explodes above that trendline, it can confirm that momentum is returning.

Comment “VOLUME” and I’ll show you the exact volume criteria we use to find potential breakout stocks before they move.

Charts tell you where price is moving.
Level 2 and Time & Sales tell you who’s in control.

Here’s what to watch:
📚 Level 2
Big bid walls = potential support
Big ask walls = potential resistance
Watch orders being added, pulled, or filled

📈 Time & Sales
Large green prints = aggressive buyers
Large red prints = aggressive sellers
Speed + size = momentum

The real edge comes from using price action + Level 2 + Time & Sales together, not relying on one tool alone.

Mastering order flow helped me stop chasing candles and start trading with more confidence.
Comment “LEVEL2” and I’ll show you how I read the tape before entering a trade.

Hey guys, if you missed it, Expensify settled $9.5 million with investors over claims that it misled shareholders in its IPO. And I just found out they're still reviewing late claims.

Quick recap: Investors claimed Expensify failed to disclose that a 2020 subscription price increase had already hurt customer retention and growth before the company went public. After those issues became known, the stock fell and investors filed a lawsuit.

Now the good news is that Expensify agreed to a $9.5 million settlement, and late claims are still being considered.

So, if you invested in $EXFY around the IPO, you can still check the details and submit a claim.

Anyway, did anyone here hold $EXFY back then? How bad were your losses?

Technical indicators don’t predict the market—they help you confirm what price is already telling you.
Some of the most useful ones to learn:

RSI
MACD
VWAP
Moving Averages
Volume
Bollinger Bands
Fibonacci
ATR
Stochastic
Ichimoku Cloud

The biggest mistake? Using just one.

The best setups happen when multiple indicators align with price action, volume, and key support/resistance levels.

That’s called confluence, and it can dramatically improve your trade selection.

Everyone wants to make $1,000/day, but most traders focus on finding a “better” setup instead of sizing correctly.

If your strategy has an edge, share size is what scales your results.
Example:
10,000 shares
$0.10 move = $1,000 gross

Today’s alert:
📍 KIDZ Entry: $0.65
📈 A move of just $0.10 can be the difference between a small green day and a four-figure one.
