3 Simple Steps to Quickly Grow a Small Trading Account

--- Thread 🧵 ---

1️⃣ Define a Repeatable Edge

A basis of any successful trading system is having an edge over a series of trades.

Without a well studied edge, you cannot succeed in the market.

Example of edges:

Trend system
* Trading during the power trend
* Trading stocks that are in uptrends
* Trading GROUPS that are in uptrends

High Volume Edges
* Highest Volume Ever (HVE)
* Highest Volume in > 1 Year (HV1)
* Highest Volume Since IPO (HVIPO)

2️⃣ Define Entry Tactics from that Edge

Once you have an edge, you need an entry tactic.

Entry tactics are repeatable and definable. You should know your entry and exit points before ever placing a trade.

Examples of entry tactics:

Trend system
🟢 Enter on two closes above a KMA
🔴 Exit on two closes below a KMA

High Volume Edge
📊 High Volume Close
📊 High Volume Support

Edges & Entry tactics have to be repeated CONSISTENTLY to reduce randomness when trading a small account.

3️⃣Position Sizing

To grow a small account quickly, one needs to position size in such a way that a big winner will grow the account sizeably.

This level of position sizing is only achieved through rigorous $STUDY of your edges and entry tactics in the market.

Examples of how to position size:

🟢The more edges and entry tactics that align, the greater the size.
🟢The fewer edges and entry tactics that align, the lower the size.

This is KEY to consistently sizing big when you have an edge over the market.

Again, position sizing boils down to confidence in your edges & entry tactics.

This confidence is built through accountability and consistent $STUDY of your system and its 🔑 components.

4 Points of Emphasis 👇

✅Edges, Entry Tactics, and Position Sizing are key components
✅ Consistency in action and $STUDY
✅ Recording stats on what is working vs. not (business mindset)
✅ Develop big conviction through $STUDY

Why do we track institutional footprints? 🐘 (Thread)

Large institutions like mutual funds, hedge funds, banks, insurance companies, trusts, etc. amount for over 75% of all volume. These institutions move the market, not you and I.

It makes sense that if these guys are moving the markets, we would ideally want to buy the same stocks they are buying, but before they buy them? Right?

So, let’s get a clear understanding of how and why this is so important and what this might look like behind the scenes.

For starters, let’s discuss what we mean by a large institution. In this case, we are referring to the many funds, pensions, trusts, etc. that are responsible for managing tens, if not hundreds of billions of dollars.

Hence, they easily attract and can afford to retain the planet’s top talent, not to mention, their research budgets are enormous.

They have access to information and resources that the retail crowd simply does not, and if they did, it would likely be extremely unaffordable.

There is only one proven way to prevent blowing up your account:

Setting Stop losses.

Properly setting & implementing stop losses will save you millions over your career.

Here's a top down guide with everything you need to know about Stop Losses, broken down step by step 👇🧵

In this 🧵, we'll cover:

· The Goal of Stop Losses
· How to Place a Proper Stop Loss
· Answers to Frequently Asked Stop Loss Questions
· General Guidelines to Protect Your Account

& tons of examples!

Let's jump in 💪

Overall Goal of Stop Losses 👇

The goal of a stop loss is to cap your downside while maximizing the upside from proven setups.

It is impossible to be correct on every trade you make, so it is very important that you implement stop losses to contain your losing trades!

Let's look at some examples to show you how important stop losses can be:

$PTON (Weekly!)
$TSLA (2020 B/O)
$NVDA (1999 IPO B/O)
$AMPH (Last Week's Action)

In each of the examples above, you could have used proper stop losses to capture massive upside gains & protect yourself from huge downside losses!

How to identify the next Market Leaders (Thread)

After a basing/corrective period in the market, new merchandise will start to emerge and show itself as the market is setting up for another uptrend.

Some leaders from the previous run may continue their moves, but often it's the new leaders which will provide the most alpha.

So keep an open mind and search for the stocks that are standing out from the crowd with the strongest combination of superior price + volume action and fundamentals.

Here is how to find these next leaders:

First, market leaders by definition lead the market. They will often be making new price and relative strength highs as the market starts moving up from a potential bottom.

Keep an eye on Relative Strength Lines especially. A Relative Strength New High Before Price is a key Leadership Blueprint. For instance, $TSLA showed this characteristic before advancing 350% in 2020

The RS Line is calculated by the Price of the stock/ SPX

The market’s best investors have made millions from the simple saying:

“Buy right, sit tight”

Sounds simple - but what does “buying right” even mean?

Use TraderLion's 10-Step Ultimate Guide to buying right 👇

By the end of this thread, you'll know how to:

1. Build an objective list of buy criteria
2. Have 10+ real world examples to study
3. Increase your win rate.
4. Increase your profitability

Let's dive in!

Buy Rule #1: The General market must be in an uptrend.

3 out of every 4 stocks follow the market trend both to the upside and to the downside.

This means that if you are buying a breakout in a downtrend, it already has a 75% chance of failing!

It doesn't matter if the stock is in a leading group with an impressive RS line and strong fundamental story.

At the end of the day, market direction is the MOST important factor!

10 truths I wish I knew when I started trading:

Trading always was, is, and will always be a game against yourself. Nobody can make it happen for you, and there’s nobody to beat.

Your only chance of winning is to practice being a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday.

/1

Traders waste so much energy lamenting on "I missed this" - if all that energy was spent on fixing a problem they just identified — many of them would be better off than they are today.

Be a good problem solver, not a complainer. That negative energy is no bueno.

/2

Performance is a byproduct of position sizing.

Position Sizing stems from conviction.

Conviction is built by doing deep dives and studying specific setups in the markets, especially ones that tap into its structural tendencies consistently.

/3

Have a few setups you know really really well.

I have hundreds of examples on each, done deep dives & can trade them when I see them instinctively.

You have to know exactly what ur looking for…so u can repeatedly execute those setups & make them sources of income.

There is one simple habit that William O’Neil, Nicolas Darvas, and every other Market Wizard share that is the KEY to their success & outperformance.

The habit? Analyzing their trading through post analysis.

Here is our guide to doing post analysis like a Market Wizard.

🧵👇

Post Trade Analysis (PTA) is one of the most important parts of any trading system.

It is the process of analyzing each & every one of your trades, highlighting:

✅ Setup/edge
✅ Market env. at time of trade
✅ What you do well/poorly

& more!

By the end of this thread, here’s what you’ll learn about PTA:

1. Non-negotiable Benefits of PTA
2. The most important metrics to look at
3. Letting results guide your trading
4. PTA Frequency guidelines
5. Top Trader Template

PTA Tip #1: Non-negotiable Benefits of PTA

By analyzing your trades, you are ensuring that:

· You will know what works best for you
· You will know what is holding your performance back
· You will know how to FIX your trading issues

& there's one more hidden benefit of PTA...

How To Reach Peak Trading Performance (Thread)

Trading is you versus the Market. It’s a one on one battle with a system designed to take your money if you lack discipline and an identifiable edge.

To achieve success and be able to take on this opponent, you must conquer your own faults and work towards incremental improvement.

Learning to trade, analyze charts, and manage risk are skills that you can carry with you for a lifetime.

However before you can reach the performance phase and consistently capture alpha, every trader must go through learning phases.

Your journey begins as a rookie trader, thrust in the midst of a pitched battle between yourself and the market.

10 Lessons I Learned While Working With William O’Neil (Thread)

↓

1. The importance of trading psychology and emotional/physical well-being

Trading psychology and physical/emotional well-being is probably one of the least discussed, yet most important aspects of becoming a successful trader.

However, the large majority of traders spend little time if any focusing on this aspect of their trading and instead, dedicate their time to methodology, technique, and “special indicators.”

Start by taking good care of your physical and emotional health.

This means getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, etc.

Next, pick up a couple of books and study trading psychology. Two excellent books on this subject are, “Trading in the Zone,” by Mark Douglas and “The Psychology of Trading,” by Brett Steenbarger

2. The importance of sound rules to avoid emotional decision making.

Having a sound set of rules that are proven to work is essential to success in the stock market. Why is this so important? Two words. Human nature.

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

Demystifying Ghazwa-e-Hind. A #thread.

A recent video of Shoaid Akhter surfaced in social media creating a lot of controversy where the #Pakistani Cricketer can be seen suggesting invasion of India by using the term Ghazwa-e-Hind.
Radicalization of sportsmen seen off late
(1/10)

Some radical Islamic preachers believes that Ghazwa-e-Hind means a “Holy War against India”. As per this irrational & profane concept, there will be a fierce battle to secure victory over #India.
#Kashmir
(2/10)

#Pakistan-based terror groups, like JeM have been using Ghazwa-e-Hind as a Hadith to recruit, fund and justify its terror strikes as a religious holy war against #India.
#Kashmir

Some machiavellian people claim it is a prophecy that Muslim warriors will wage war against the #India.
Jaish & others falsely propagate that Jihad against India is considered holy in Islam & that those participating in it will be granted an easy entry into paradise.

However prolific scholars says that this is a made-up interpretation of some verse in The Holy Quran to mislead the gullible youth of #Pakistan into picking up arms and fighting its Army's personal battle against #India.
