I've compiled a master thread of the top 5 threads I've made in 2021🔥

Here's a complete guide to everything you should know about trading
👇👇👇

I turned $500→ $2,200 in 10 days🤯

Here’s how I did it 👇

Before we dig into the strategy breakdown, let’s first look at the results

In 10 trading days, I turned $500→ $2,200 with only ONE of those days resulting in a loss💰

Out of 11 trades, only 2 of them were losses💪

I had an 81% win rate. Not too shabby right? 😆

To see my daily results (proof), search my name on twitter with the tag #SAC

Ok, let’s breakdown the strategy now👇

For this challenge, I focused on scalping options using my institutional levels💰

(I will have more info on how I find institutional levels in the future)

My goal everyday was to get a quick 10-30% gain and then get out🏃‍♂️

For the most part, I succeeded in that. There were only a few times where I got greedy and went for a higher % gain

This strategy made it so I was done for the day in usually an hour after market open⏳

10 hours MAX of “work” led to ~$1,700 in profit 🔥

Ever wonder what the best tools for trading are? 🔨

Here are the top tools I use as a full-time trader🧵

👇👇👇

Before you read this, please RT the first tweet above this.

There's room for everyone to make 6 figures in 2022 and I want this to reach everyone that aspires to do so🙏

Here we go 👇

1. Tradingview - @tradingview

Tradingview is the main charting platform I use.

It’s very clean and easy to use.

Also free for anyone wanting a basic charting platform with all the best features👏

2. Thinkorswim - @thinkorswim

Thinkorswim is an amazing charting platform similar to tradingview.

Everything is free and the possibilities are endless with this platform.

The main reason I love it?

The ability to chart individual options👇

3. TD Ameritrade - @TDAmeritrade

TD Ameritrade is the best overall broker in my opinion.
Customer service is great, commissions are low, and you have free access to thinkorswim.

Can’t be better than that🤌

I made $55,000 in 6 months on ONE trade.

A 600% return

Here's how you can turn typical 10% returns into 200%+ using long term options:

Let's not waste any time and get right into it👇

Long Term Options are simply a way to "invest" on a more aggressive way

There's a specific strategy that I use to pick stocks for long term options, but first...

let's talk about WHICH options to select:

With typical swing trades I always prefer going ITM.

Not the case for LEAPS.

With longer term options, I love going OTM

Decay isn't that much a factor and you'll be paying less per contract since leaps are already pretty expensive

Depending on the stock, I'd recommend going 20-30% OTM of the current share price

This is pretty loose, but the main concept to recognize is that you want the contracts to be ITM within 6 months

There will be a point where decay will kick in and for that you'd want to be ITM.

If you aren't sure about the strike, then go more ITM. It's always better to get closer to ITM then OTM.

Okay, let's move onto date to expiry:

I’m a full time day/swing trader for a living.
I’ve learned a lot through my time trading.
Here’s a thread going over my exact trading strategy
As well as some helpful tips/tricks.
👇👇👇

My trading strategy revolves around three things:
1. Supply and Demand
2. Trend
3. Liquidity
All are important and essential for my trade setup.

Supply and Demand: What is it?
Supply and Demand zones are areas of price where institutional buying or selling is taking place. These zones are key because price is likely to reverse at these zones since institutions want to defend or add to their position.

To find these zones, you want to look at the SPEED of price action. Supply/Demand zones are formed when price moves FAST from an area. Look for wicks or long body candles.

How to draw zones?
To draw these zones, you take the top of the body or wick of the candle PREVIOUS to the explosive candle and draw it down to the bottom. Extend the zone and there it is. (Knowing whether to use the wick or top of the body will take experience)

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

#driptip

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)

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. 👇

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.

#tradingtips #entry #riskreward 1/5
If price is extended from ema or makes New Highs and you slap the ask, you already skew your risk reward (in case of short you slap bid at new lows)
You have to let entry come to you for best risk reward, find pullback in the trend!

#tradingtips #entry #riskreward 2/5
When you chase, you are one providing liquidity to someone who is going to exit at that price, so you will be immediately down or negative in your position.
Even though our mind is wired to give us FOMO and we click the market buy..its wrong

#tradingtips #entry #riskreward 3/5
rather than skewing your risk reward chasing 5 plays....wait for a pullback in trend on 1 play and have size with conviction with clear support/risk off level...same if shorting...wait for resistance level bounce

#tradingtrips #entry #riskreward 4/5
If Day Trading, Tape Reading and watching where most volume is being soaked is key level for entry (Example VRPX at 8 today)...add those tape reading skills for better entry...along with support/pullback level

#tradingtrips #entry #riskreward 5/5
Take 100 charts and study the trend. Make a journal and explain to yourself if you were trading those 100 charts, which pullback would you have entered and what would have been you risk/reward and best entry!
Backtest Entries! Very important
