- 2026-07-04 — I also did not know this in the beginning of the year; I learned through Deep Dive. Everything in trading is hard at first. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Yes, it is called Situational Awareness. Search Google for Stockbee+ Situational Awareness.
The first question I ask myself in the morning is whether breakouts are likely to work; if yes, buy; else trade other setups ↗
- 2026-07-04 — No. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — He is my favorite author. I have read all his books, and his autobiography is fantastic. ↗

- 2026-07-04 — I only put an 8% stop on stocks I have researched, and only in conditions that favor breakout working. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Stocks up 20% plus in the last five days, volume should be 100k plus , price above 5 ↗

- 2026-07-04 — Was there also in November last year ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Was in Copenhagen last year ↗
- 2026-07-04 — I am staying in City center in Radisson. DM me. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — $APP was higher priced so size was big , entry was very good so that moved account more, can not size big in $BLZE kind stocks as a proportion of traded capital so even though % term it made more money, absolute term $APP was better. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Daily study of stocks making 20% plus moves in 5 days and stocks showing up in my EP9 million scans. If you do that daily you will find themes early and be on top of themes. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Index funds best bought on extreme market breadth weakness like when T2108 is below 20
I always buy weakness on them. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Thursday and Friday I am in Oslo ↗
- 2026-07-04 — I have been there before ↗
- 2026-07-04 — 20 % to at times 100% depending on the setup, catalyst and market conditions.
No you need to identify mini home runs and home runs at the beginning of the move.
Take recent example of $BLZE I was confident this stock will at least make 50% plus move. Which it did in 7 days.
You don’t trade random stock expecting them to be home runs or mini home runs. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — There are many catalysts , I scan for stocks that have reacted positively to a catalyst and then look for anticipation or reversal entry on them. Theme are way better catalysts than earnings and revenue for explosive moves in short term. So that is my main focus ↗
- 2026-07-04 — By scanning for them and studying the catalyst ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Only on select stocks with catalyst in trending markets. So the criteria are more stringent than what I use to earlier ↗
- 2026-07-04 — I still have sufficient size to make the trade worthwhile. There is a reason I trade the combination of singles, mini home runs, and home runs: the singles allow you to finance a big risk once in a while when a trade with home run potential shows up, and also help you recover if that big bet does not work.
Singles are the foundation for being able to occasionally bet big. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Index investing and dollar cost averaging. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Stops depend on whether I am trading a single (8 to 20% in 3 to 5 days), mini home runs (20 to 40% in a few weeks or a month), or home runs (100% plus). Ranges from 2.5% to 20%, depending on the setup's potential. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — RT @PradeepBonde: Buy in consolidation in a momentum pause in anticipation of a breakout or buy on a breakout after the momentum pause.
This is the basis for many swing trading methods. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — You do better stock selection and timing and SA to try and control it ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Headed to Norway for bucket list trip to land of Fjords ↗
- 2026-07-04 — It happens sometimes ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Has to be done on curated list of stocks ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Yes tight entries are only possible if we do damn good job of preparing and selecting the right stock. Plus situational awareness. But the joy when it works is priceless. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — I think it is personality issue if you cannot control yourself during trade. For such people it is difficult ↗
- 2026-07-04 — No idea. Trade whatever works for you. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Don’t swing trade focus on your job. Not everyone should trade. World also needs good bankers. ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Yes ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Wry important , also lot of what I used to do after close I do work between 3 PM and 3.45 PM and enter in anticipation in last 2 minutes ↗
- 2026-07-04 — Those with catalyst and reason to go up or down . ↗
- 2026-07-03 — At the time of buy, it should close near the high. ↗
- 2026-07-03 — catalyst ↗
- 2026-07-03 — Stories are themes, speculative, fugazi, but in short run it makes explosive move. I like story stock. But you need to keep logical thinking aside to trade them . Recently a Canadian pest control got in to AI infrastructure. Stock went up that day big. ↗
- 2026-07-03 — This is one of the biggest issues. Buying extended stocks after bulk of move is over. Major disadvantage of using momentum rank blindly ↗
- 2026-07-03 — Simplicity ↗
- 2026-07-03 — Gym , swim , sauna, lunch ↗
- 2026-07-03 — Using stops ↗
- 2026-07-03 — It does not. ↗
- 2026-07-03 — Most discretionary traders use rules, context and qualifiers but final decision is still discretionary. ↗
- 2026-07-03 — No minimum wait ↗
- 2026-07-03 — What did you learn from that. This used to be my case in early years, giving up large open profits in the hope of island dreams, that is when I started doing selling in to strength. ↗
- 2026-07-03 — Average Daily Range (ADR) is a purely backward-looking indicator.
It cannot predict future price directions or sudden market shocks.
When markets suddenly have momentum burst the ADR increases as stock moves in the direction of the breakout.
Low ADR stock becomes high ADR once momentum comes in.
Similarly a high ADR stock can become low ADR if it goes in to consolidation.
You can deep dive and quickly find this. ↗
- 2026-07-03 — Yes it is called Sugar Babies scan. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — I don’t want to seat in front of of computer and get tempted to push random buttons. First one hour hundred percent attention, then gym and then last one hour full attention. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Behavior changes. $ORLY was my favorite swing stock pre split it gave many opportunities to swing with low risk entries now post split it is not same. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — For those using momentum based swing trading ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Yes. Momentum burst can start from any level and make 3 to 5 days move. Do your own research to check that. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Prior close ↗
- 2026-07-02 — If you do that on a stock with a catalyst, EP, DEP, or theme, then it works. I trade two types of moves: home runs and singles. For home-run-kind of stocks that have the potential to make a big move, trend-following works. Home runs, I will give them time to run. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Fixed targets do not work; some don't make much in 3 to 5 days, some make multiples, so the philosophy should be to take what the market gives you rather than forcing a target. The market is not our mistress that guarantees three blow jobs a night. 🙃😁😀 ↗
- 2026-07-02 — All my setups will still work, gaps are not at all important for me. If they stop working I will develop new setup. I don’t worry about it at all. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Not for me in this environment ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Sell all by day 5 or use trailing stops .
Momentum burst are 3 to 5 days moves, using 10 day moving average on a move of 3 to 5 days just does not make sense mathematically.
Moving averages for trend following setups. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — I just close the position. I don't have any psychological issues with that. This is just part of the game; not every trade works. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Currently popular stocks that are on most active traders radar. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Whatever works for you, if you like trading with wider stops , it is your choice. There is no right or wrong way as long as you make money. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — It had no meaningful catalyst ↗
- 2026-07-02 — When breadth is positive and improving, breakouts work. Breakouts also work best after a period of extremely bearish breadth in the short run. Deep Dive breadth, and you will see how it works. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — By deep diving into stocks that have made 20% plus moves in five days over the years. They have common characteristics in terms of price, volume, capitalization, sector, IPO age, and where they start their moves, and so on. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — I enter when it shows up in scan and meets my qualifiers checklist ↗
- 2026-07-02 — That happens if you trade random breakouts, it has to be done on only stocks capable of making big moves. Stock selection is essential to buying breakouts. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — It is based on historical study of stocks that make 20% plus move in 5 days. Almost all of them start with a 4% plus move. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Try Super performance stock by Richard Love ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Use this. You need the Platinum version to do that. Does not work on Gold
https://www.tc2000.com/~MwbHQv ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Not for me ↗
- 2026-07-02 — You have a different definition of the start of a swing than I do. For me, swings start with a 4% b/o signal, which was a day earlier, not Monday.
Different ways of trading. If buying on the second day of swing works for you, continue to do what works for you. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — No ↗
- 2026-07-02 — No, according to our way of trading swing started 4 days ago. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — If you are a day trader, how does it matter if it is choppy or trending? ↗
- 2026-07-02 — I did a long video on finding momentum; see that. It also shows how to scan for young momentum.
https://youtu.be/znVOT0rPhto?si=txWSF3Tbx1eAFHHA ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Yes, they are like a bullet once fired, they don't revisit the lows ↗
- 2026-07-02 — Momentum bursts and news plays. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — For breakouts, no end-of-day entries. Only the first hour. For anticipation and reversal setups, I enter in the last 5 minutes before close in anticipation. ↗
- 2026-07-02 — All part of trading. There are no perfect solutions in trading; you have to be satisfied with workable solutions and not constantly keep saying "but" and "what if" ↗
- 2026-07-02 — That is part and parcel of trading ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Because that is where best entries are ↗
- 2026-07-01 — RT @PradeepBonde: No amount of hard work or discipline will change things unless you are willing to change your beliefs. There are thousands of very hard-working traders who don't make it because they are working on wrong beliefs. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — I only buy breakouts that show up in the first 30 minutes; if they don't, I don't. Plus, the stock was not on my select list before the breakout. Sometimes I buy later if for some reason I cannot scan in the morning.
My process is geared towards finding breakouts that happen in the first hour. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Exactly, but we want more of these late buyers for Thursday entries to work. 🙃🙃🙃 ↗
- 2026-07-01 — 10% ↗
- 2026-07-01 — no that is third day of swing way too late for entry ↗
- 2026-07-01 — 4% breakout ↗
- 2026-07-01 — no ↗
- 2026-07-01 — You have a hard-coded belief that the stop should be wider, and nothing in the world is going to change that . Plus, if you are surrounded by people who reinforce that, it is even more difficult. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Because start of swing was a ay earlier with 4% b/o that was second day of swing ↗
- 2026-07-01 — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6uL1SepW88
see this video ↗
- 2026-07-01 — If it was in my watchlist thn yes otherwise pass ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Go through the Stockbee blog and youtube ↗
- 2026-07-01 — It was 4% b/o ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Different setups have different holding periods. Momentum bursts from 3 to 5 days . High-priced stocks' momentum bursts last 5 to 10 days. EP can be a few weeks to months.
I trade for magnitude not duration ↗
- 2026-07-01 — http://Briefing.com for earnings news and Marketsurge for earnings and sales projections ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Low-priced stocks inherently have higher volatility and require wider stops to account for that. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — 60 dollars plus. They offer better risk-reward, you can enter them with closer stops, and most of them have smoother action compared to lower-priced stocks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be1FQ3IQbco ↗
- 2026-07-01 — yes ↗
- 2026-07-01 — You will end up buying many extended stocks that will fail on a breakout. By the time a stock or sector makes it to the top list, most of the moves have happened. Find young momentum ↗
- 2026-07-01 — By daily looking at stocks up 20% in last 5 days ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Most of my momentum burst entries are in the first 30 minutes. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — No ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Yes. You can also get closer entry by operating from pre-qualified watchlists.
This was my watchlist created on the weekend, and every trade I bought was from this, so it gave close entries as these were pre-qualified. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — Thursday was the start of the swing and the correct buy point. It was 4% b/o on that day in our method, ↗
- 2026-07-01 — I always select the one with higher priced stocks, higher volume and has currently working theme. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — And on higher priced stocks you can have more than 50% with 1% risk.
Buying with close stops to me is what trading is all about. ↗
- 2026-07-01 — That was good ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Thanks ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Also many of new to trading people have no basic understanding of swing trading, they just are doing random things without having a framework. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Yes I like to find trades with less than 2.5% risk or less. Only exception is if buying a EP ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Toby Crabel ↗
- 2026-06-30 — I have no idea what you are talking about. If a stock breaks out on Monday and if you don’t buy it on that day and try and buy it on Tuesday you no more have an edge. Where will you put the stop. You don’t have cushion of profit from Monday move. This is absolutely basic knowledge of swing trading. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Years of experience of doing and judgment where stop is likely to get hit based on experience. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Go through history of discussion has been explained many times. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Yes if stop gets hit I would just close and move on to next trade.
If I worry about gap down risk I would never make money. Research the setup how many times it gaps up against gapping down.
Risk is inherent to stock trading, you manage it by proper setup selection and situational awareness. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Yes I bought it in last few minutes yesterday ↗
- 2026-06-30 — If I follow your advice, I will have very small positions in these trades and make less money. You widen the stop, and the position size drops accordingly. I will be leaving so much money on the table unnecessarily. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — I don't sell everything at a fixed price. I peel my positions in tranches. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Do not use it ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Buying on the second day is for people who do not understand swing trading. There's no edge in second-day buying for 3 to 5 day swing trades that make 8% to 20% ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Yes. I only buy things where I can put close stops. If I can not, I let it go. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Exactly, many of these people who keep arguing about these things just don't understand risk-reward. Both $$APP and $ARM have done multiples of my risk without stopping, even coming into play. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Don’t be a scan collector, focus on understanding context and qualifiers that is 95% of the game. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Screenshot ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Most edges used by swing traders are small , what magnifies them is creating right context or situational awareness filter to decide when to trade them aggressively and creating a qualifying filters that improve probability of success.
Context and qualifiers are most important for selecting a specific stock showing up in a scan , many who just collect scans have no idea of those things and as a result it doesn’t work for them.
Scan is not a setup it is a tool the real meat is context and qualifiers. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Isn’t that trading is about to make money with least possible risk.
And it works ↗
- 2026-06-30 — All answered previously. Search my feed. ↗
- 2026-06-30 — Because it works ↗
- 2026-06-30 — No, I am happy being a discretionary trader. ↗

There are sites like this that rank popular stocks on Twitter, Reddit, and so on
Plus, I use an AI prompt to track the most popular newsletters or Discord runners on Twitter ↗
- 2026-06-29 — Number one criteria is how many funds own the stock and second how popular it is amongst the Twitter influencers and newsletter writers, it is not about chart pattern. It is about front running the newsletter. Do you have those criteria in your scan. 😜 ↗
- 2026-06-29 — Works in all market conditions ↗
- 2026-06-29 — That is how momentum ranking is supposed to be used to avoid getting in to extended stocks and then but mean reverts. ↗
- 2026-06-29 — That is textbook definition of chop ↗
- 2026-06-29 — To find stocks that are consolidating or pulling back after a big move. That is how momentum is supposed to be used. If you just rank by current performance you will get mostly very extended stocks.
This is ABC of momentum trading ↗
- 2026-06-29 — It is choppy ↗
- 2026-06-29 — Chopping ↗
- 2026-06-29 — I have additional qualifiers not just a chart pattern. The number of funds that own it is below 500; it is not a popular name among Discord and newsletter writers on X. ↗
- 2026-06-29 — Just a few cents below 340 for my 343.31 entry. ↗

$INTC $HLIT $DELL ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Getting ready for next week of trading. ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Risk is very personal decision. Some traders are lion some are scared cats. ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Shorts ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Yes. Lot of stars have to be aligned for that. ↗
- 2026-06-28 — It is called procedural memory. You have developed a very refined procedural memory for day trading but do not have yet a good procedural memory for swing trading.
Procedural memories are very task specific, that is how brain works. ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Risk is entry minus stop. You can have 80% in a trade and the risk can still be one percent of capital. When you can get in to trade with close stop this is possible. See the explanation below
https://stockbee.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-i-calculate-position-size.html ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Sheets traded. ↗
- 2026-06-28 — 4% breakout and $ breakout are two different setups. $ breakout is for high priced stocks which behave differently. ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Start with one setup, master it then add others. Most profitable traders have multiple setups they trade based on market conditions. ↗
- 2026-06-28 — It is a scan used for high priced stock above 60 where we scan for them to be up at least a dollar in first 15 minutes to enter if they meet our qualifying criteria. It allows early entry in to them. The actual scan condition is close-open should be more than 90 cents plus liquidity condition ↗
- 2026-06-28 — 300 to 1000 depending on market conditions ↗
- 2026-06-28 — Yes ↗
