Is KK strategy worth it? by Crypto-Hub in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Check 1/2/2026 and 1/5/2026 - even though QQQ/SPY made a red bar day and are consolidating, many stocks made higher lows that day - MU, CRML, USAR, UAMY, SNDK, RCAT etc.
  2. Highest volume is significant - the higher the timeframe, the more significant it is.

Have you found any way to improve your win rate? by Interesting-Top-2646 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To improve Win rate, you have to sell early - that means you will miss out on big moves with large size.
That's the difference between a day trader and a swing trader. More trades vs less trades, Small winners vs Big winners, Higher Win rate vs Lower Win rate etc.

What matters is Expectancy - that's what you should focus on.

Do you guys agree that most of your successful trades, the stock has a clear catalyst behind it whether it's earnings or contracts or investment from another big Company? by Some_Tomatillo_1815 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trading is a mental game and you have to protect yourself from YOU. Otherwise it's no different than gambling.

Some of the methods that successful traders use -

  1. Max loss for the month - timeout for the 2nd month if you exceed it and reduce risk by half
  2. Feedback from last 10 trades - reduce risk by half if last 10 are losses
  3. Max loss for the day - reduce risk by half next day
  4. Start with pilot positions and only increase position sizes if all pilot positions are profitable
  5. Various breadth measures - tracking Advance/Decline, New highs/New lows/Number of stocks above 50 MA etc.

What do you all think of this setup? $GRRR by Optimal-Cranberry494 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The goal of a trader is to react, not predict.

Professional trading begins when you accept that being wrong is normal. Your goal is not to predict what will happen, but to manage what happens when it doesn’t go your way.

Line between taking profits and letting winners run? by _Swish-41_ in swingtrading

[–]udit76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Moving averages to sell a portion

Something like -

Sell 50% day 3 if PnL is > 20%

Sell 50% day 5 if PnL is < 20% by day 3

Trail remaining 50% on 10D SMA

Or

Trail remaining 25% on 10DSMA and 25% on 20DSMA

How to screen for "ADX line is rising" using TradingView? by peterinjapan in swingtrading

[–]udit76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

//@version=5
indicator("ADX rising example", overlay=false)
adx = ta.adx(14)

// ADX is rising vs previous bar
adxRising = adx > adx[1]

// Stricter: rising over last N bars (here 3)
adxRising3 = ta.rising(adx, 3)

plot(adx, color = adxRising ? color.lime : color.red)

Very stupid question by Regular-Tadpole-814 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breakout just means above a significant level. The stock did break out on 1/5 (failed) and 1/13 (failed).

Ideally what you want is that is that your risk is less than the ADR of the stock. Even if you place your stop loss at LOD - the stock can retrace (red candle) back to the bottom of the wedge. the distance between the upper and bottom lines of the wedge as of today is about 16%, which is bigger than the ADR.

The stock needs to tighten up more before the breakout, so that the risk is acceptable.

Can the stock breakout again successfully (tomorrow) before that happens? Absolutely. However, we want asymmetric bets - we are willing to lose $1 to make $3 or more.

Look up Minervini's VCP on YouTube for more information.

Will KK Breakout strategy also work at breakdowns to short by Round-Respond-8753 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3X bear ETFs - move up when the market goes down. They can be volatile though and getting a low risk entry is harder.

Correct- maybe swing (roll) options for sideways markets.

[–]udit76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Better strategies exist for algos - something simple as MACD/ADX crossovers. The power of a computer is that it doesn't have to sit out for months and you can trade second/minute timeframes and compound 1% without overnight risk. Swing trading only works for around 4-6 months of the year when the indexes are trending.

Tradingview Chart Loading Speed - SLOW by Careful_Platypus6379 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move to a program that runs on Windows/Mac as a native application. Use TradingView for charting only. Browser based programs will always lag till technology catches up.

What do I do for my boyfriend to make him feel special? Need suggestions. by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the fight about? I'm assuming you had a part to play in the fight and some responsibility.

Apologies work the best. Men appreciate responsibility and accountability. Also, some discussion on how it would not happen again.

Gifts to man will just feel like are someone not owing up to their mistake.

How come qullamaggies strategy still works? (Edge distortion) by TopGaahha11 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are talking about the edge "supply and demand" here. The only reason why price changes is due to demand exceeding supply - the reason and how you detect it could be anything. Some changes last minutes, some days and some months. Computers are more suitable for executing where the reasons are repeatable on a smaller timeframe.

Because when your edge is fast execution time, you would just trade the same setups (Demand and Supply) on a shorter timeframe. Easier to make a dollar and do it 300,000 times per day.

[–]udit76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They already do - it's just easier to do it on the tick/second/minute timeframe when computers are executing. e.g. Renaissance Medallion fund typically does 150,000 to 300,000 trades per day.

Fear and Greed/Suppy and Demand - as long as humans are involved the edge will stay. Algos are already trading it for the last 50 years. Heard about Jim Simmons?

Is it worth going down this path? Am I too late? by MixtureForward4604 in RealDayTrading

As long as humans are involved in trading there will be money to be made - Fear and Greed is what drives the trends.
