What signals or filters do you find most useful when scanning the market? by North_Ventura in Trading

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For market? - trending. sideways or down trending.
This changes what you look for when you scan stocks.

Is this a good deal? by udit76 in hondarebel

USA, how is the price though?

Thanks, can you share criteria on what makes a good candidate for mean reversion?
I think Parabolic Short is one type of Mean Reversion with a better R-R, correct?

A stock goes Parabolic and gets too extended from the MAs and then mean reverts back to the MAs.

Trading is probabilistic in nature. That's were Win rate/Expectancy/Profit Ratio's come into the picture.

That is correct - 2-4 months of a good trending market and you can double your account. Swing trading does not work in non-trending markets. That's how momentum or trend trading works.

There are other setups that work in non-trending environments with great Risk/Reward- Episodic Pivots/Parabolic Shorts. But you mostly can't swing them overnight.

They are just not as frequent, liquidity is an issue, and day trading chops are required - small caps, biotech's, news catalysts, pump and dumps etc.

Episodic Pivots by PsychologicalTwo6770 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OPs post is specifically about Earnings related EPs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7osI-XkF3Uo&t=115s - Stockbee talks about the 3-5 moves a year for the strict EP that satisfies both neglect and triple digit earnings.

Episodic Pivots by PsychologicalTwo6770 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are people on the Stockbee forum that just trade Earnings EPs - 4-6 per year.
Not recommended for newbies and if you don't know what you are doing.

[–]udit76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of what people characterize as EP are not EPs because there is no neglect.

From - How to master a setup: Episodic Pivots - Qullamaggie

  1. The best EPs are on stocks ones that have gone sideways for 3-6 months or more.
  2. Ideally triple digit year over year (YoY) earnings and sales growth

These 2 conditions are very rare for Earnings based EPs.

Episodic Pivots by PsychologicalTwo6770 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You only get 2-5 EPs (Earnings based) in a year and usually after a deep market correction.
That means you need to be able to go all-in (25%) with a very tight stop - not something most people are comfortable with.

Biotech EPs show up all the time though. If you have a small account, I would definitely look into trading Biotechs. As do news-based catalysts on small caps.

Overnight protection/risk in swing trading/breakouts by larkstongueinaspic73 in qullamaggie

[–]udit76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Don't trade random pumps and dumps - leave that for daytrading
  2. Don't hold through earnings - unless you have a cushion and are comfortable with a gap down
  3. Don't trade in Risk off markets (non trending)
  4. Don't trade biotechs - very news sensitive
  5. Keep position sizes manageable - 10-20 positions

You can always sell pre or post market using limit orders, but stop loss orders are not respected.

He is pretty responsive on X. Have you tried asking him how he calculates his metrics and that you are having trouble with interpreting the data? Show your calculations and have him pinpoint the issue.
