My hyper specific @unusual_whales strategy, The Blue Whalevator. A Thread.

This is an intraday strategy I've developed. It only takes huge whales, waits for confirmation, and filters out 99% of plays.

Fewer trades but high prob setups for bigger

The requirements are so specific and narrow that you will only get a few alerts a day. Once you get the alert, follow the checklist.

Today, the method took two trades so far.

$UPST 200c 9.00 > 12.20
$UPST 195c 10.30 > 15.00
The benefit of being hyper specific & requiring a long list of criteria protects us from false signals such as this one on $TSLA today.

Confirmation never hit and the move gave a false positive before breaking down. There's now a whale somewhere with an angry wife.
Here's another signal today that we would've not traded as it didn't meet the confirmation criteria.

As we are focusing intraday, we need to see moves in the desired direction occur relatively quickly to show that the momentum is there for an intraday play.

$NFLX
On Friday, the strategy went 3/3 moves for good gains.

It filtered out many more false signals by waiting for confirmation criteria.
I've made adjustments to the document to include smaller account settings as well.

The default settings are going to be extremely hefty premiums from extremely high spending whales. The small account settings should alert more cheaper plays.
These are still a WIP, so be selective.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
