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

Thread about what I've been doing and what I've found trying to trade options. All of this was inspired by @AdamSliverTrade @drippy2hard @WealthBrah .

First thing I do is find any good traders watchlist. Sometimes they put their triggers other times they don't. For practice sometimes I'll type in "watchlist from:AdamSliverTrade" on twitter to see all of his past watchlists.

Like this:

Then I go to that date in trading view and only look at the past data to draw trend lines and support/resistance levels. So let's take $MU from his 11/30 watchlist and chart it out.

Normally I would look at the monthly candle, weekly, and daily to see if they have any continuity (all red or all green). But I can't really do that with past trades I don't know if the monthly or weekly were red before.

Let’s say you start with 1k and your win rate is 70%. You take 30% profit and 30% loss fixed. End of 100 trades you net around 45k excluding fees.

If your win rate is 60% you end up with 2k.

What’s the lesson? Be selective and keep your win rate high. You’ll win

How to ensure win rate is high?

Buy calls at support and puts at resistance

Trade highly liquid names to avoid slippage

Take advantage of breakouts
I’ll suggest just scalp every day

Don’t wait for 30% loss, use time based stop loss. 5m trade didn’t work, get out

#driptip

How to ensure you loose less?

Stop over trading

Stop chasing or FOMO

Stop buying weeklies on Thu

Don’t wait for 30% profit target. If it’s not working, sell for 10%

Stop trading strikes with wide spread

Which setups will work for this strategy?

Find setups with higher ATR and identify a trend 30 min after market open, ride the trend

Find setups with higher relative volume first 30 mins and ride trend

Find setups right at 10m 34-50 EMA and ride trend

#driptip

How to scan with these parameters?

Use finviz
Use trading view
Use thinkorswim (it’s free)

Trading Education Thread time 1/8

There are really only two types of trading styles:

1. Mean Reversion Trading
2. Breakout Trading

All other "styles" are merely indicator-based trading systems.

This thread will specifically discuss Breakout Trading

2/8

Breakout Trading requires identification of four elements in order to be successful:

1. Trendlines (pattern based support/resistance)
2. Price Action (overall trending direction)
3. Volume (the amount of participants)

3/8

Trendlines serve as support/resistance like order blocks (areas w/ prior bull/bear struggle) & lead to patterns. Human psychology does not like randomness which is why there tends to be strong reaction at the extremes of historical reference points or anticipated patterns.

4/8

The mkt tends to test two extreme ends of reference areas for a time, leading to a distinct larger pattern or range. A misconception is that certain patterns are always bearish/bullish, but the dominant trend (~4-7x TF above yours) influences the eventual breakout dir more.

5/8

Still, false breaks occur quite frequently. Basic patterns like triangles often trap newer traders that seasoned traders/algos regularly exploit, especially in crypto. Frontrunning or chasing mid-candle breakout is at high risk of being exit liquidity for the counter dump.
