Ever wonder how traders get in stocks before they explode? 🧐

Or find options that move 1,000% in a single day/week?🤯

I made a thread going over exactly how I find these stocks BEFORE they take off 🚀
👇👇👇

So, let's start with the software I use…

Finviz!! Finviz is a free website that I use to scan for stocks.

They have a lot of other cool features as well, but I only use their scanner.
👇

Head on over to finviz and go to the screener

Click on the “All” tab on the top and put in the criteria in the next tweet
👇

This is the first scan that I use for bullish swing setups
✅Quarter +10%
✅Week Down
✅Vol over 400k
✅Optionable
✅Price > $20
👇

The next scan I use is the opposite of the first one.

Simply change:
✅Quarter +10% to -10%
✅Week Down to Week up

This is my bearish scan for swing setups. 👇

BEST OPTIONS STRATEGY FOR CONSISTENT INCOME -

OPTIONS WHEEL STRATEGY

Everything to know about this strategy I'm posting in this thread.

(1/12)

Step 1: Stock Selection

1. For this strategy you're going to have to choose some stocks that you think will be doing well in the future/long term.

2. Stock must be in an uptrend.

3. Stock options should be liquid enough to trade in.

4. List of stocks attached

(2/12)

Step 2: Which option to sell?

1. Sell put at a support according to charts.

2. Sell put at a strike far away from the spot where you think the probability of the stock falling will be very very low.

3. Sell put at a price where you're willing to buy the stock at.

(3/12)

Step 3: What to do when in profit/loss?

1. If in profit you can just roll up the puts thereby increasing the ROI or shift to other stocks to make more profit.

2. If in loss take delivery of the shares equivalent to the lot size in cash market.

(4/12)

Step 4: What to do after taking the delivery?

1. Sell calls to lower your cost price of the stock. For eg, you took delivery of Reliance at 1900, sell 2100 CE which is about 10% away.

2. Keep doing this till your CE expires ITM and then give delivery of your stock away

🏆 TRADE EXECUTION 🏆

You do NOT have to know what's going to happen next in order to make money. We MUST identify our edge, and act on the edge with proper sizing and risk management.

In this thread I will go through multiple different trade situations and how to process them.

First and foremost, my RULES (tailor to your liking):

- No more than 10% of account in a trade (usually 5-7%)
- No more than 1 full position at a time
- No averaging down
- HARD stop loss @ -10% (you can always re-add the position)
- I do not hold overnight (100% cash)

Scaling in profit situations:
(I like to sell in 1/3's most of the time)

1. 15-20% scale 1/3

2. Scale next 1/3 into momentum on next leg (35-40%) or if it starts to reverse I will sell remaining position +10% or have breakeven stop

3. Next leg scale into momo. or stop out +20%

Stopping out:

KEEP LOSSES SMALL. If your max loss is -10% and average gain is 20%, then you can lose more trades than you win and STILL be profitable.

You must think of each trade as "playing an edge." The trade either works or it doesn't. Accept it.

My goal is to get an entry as close as possible to my trigger. That way if it goes against me, my loss is minimal. I am not looking for any sort of confirmation to take losses.

Suppose I enter just past my call trigger, but the very next minute, it drops back below. I'm OUT.

**Options Strategies Broaden Your Range of Trades**

1/n

Going Long Calls/Puts are the plays most retail traders use (equity trader strategies, higher leverage/lower margin)

The beauty of options is there are many more ways to profit, beyond pure directional bias.

#MomoTwit

2/n *Quick Review of Options*

Options are a derivative contract which allows the holder to buy/sell the underlying at a determined price by a certain expiration date.

Options Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta) affect contract P/L based on changes in volatility, time, & price.

3/n -Covered Calls-

If you have 100 shares of XYZ stock, you could short a call contract, w/ your shares as collateral. Strategy allows you to collect premium.

Either your call expires worthless or it closes ITM. If ITM you sell the shares at the strike price of ur short call

4/n Generally, you employ a covered call strategy when you have a near/short term neutral/bearish view on your position. Thus this allows you to collect money/premium or hedge when the stock is not rallying.

5/n -Straddle-

This is where the trader buys a call & put at the same strike price and expiration date. You would do this when u expect a large move outside the expected range in *either* direction

You will lose on this trade if the stock does not move/stays within a range.

How to avoid blowing up your account trading OPTIONS
(A thread)

1. Becoming consistently profitable trading OPTIONS takes practice and discipline.

2. Trading Options is similar to trading stock, YOU are in control of your profits per movement (up or down) in the underlying.

3. Buying a CALL- You pay a Premium price based on the STRIKE price you choose. With a call you get paid when the stock moves up

4. Buying a PUT- You pay a premium price based on the STRIKE price you chose. With PUTS you get paid when the underlying stock price goes down

5. Premium price goes up when the trade moves in your favor (call betting upside, put betting downside movement)
6. The goal is to buy a premium and resell it for a higher premium when the trade works
7. Like basic stock trading, you want to scale in and out of your position

9. People see cheap premium and tend to pick those, not knowing in reality they are risking more!
10. Don’t let the premium price dictate which strike you chose.. the higher the premium, the less risk/ volatility that trade will see!

11. When day trading options, you are essentially trading DELTA
12. Delta is what your premium will pay per dollar movement in underlying.
Ex. Delta .5 pays 50c per dollar movement in underlying
So if original cost =50$ premium,
1$ move up in underlying pays .50 or 100% trade

As promised, here is a thread on how I use @unusual_whales to help me find actionable plays.

Please note that these are TOOLS, they are not a magic perfect tool for you to get rich quick. There will be winners, there will be losers.

1. The Live Flow

I use this tool by far the most. Here is where I identify all of the big moving transactions happening in the market. I generally look for Strikes that are OTM and are weekly or bi-weekly expirations, this shows urgency.

Minimum Premium - For me, I set my minimum premium at $200,000

Emoji's - All selected besides Bid Side, ETF, Monthly, and Leaps.

EXPIRY - Nearest 4-5 Dates

Ask Side - ON
Bid Side - OFF
Exclude Deep ITM - ON

I use this tool at night to prep for the following day. I scan through it watching for anything that pops out at me, when it does I immediately check that tickers flow (more on that next). If I see things jumping out at me that skews the stock bull/bear with strength, I chart.

2. Ticker Flow

I start by looking at the 1K, 5K, 15K, and 30K to get a good feel for the volume for each expiry and strike price. I then go to the history to look at the options breakdown for each day. I mainly focus on Call Prem %, anything over 65%
EX. $MU
