My favourite set-up is the Sweet Potato Pie set-up: The best stocks in the best groups coming out of clean and simple bases on volume in a good market @PatrickWalker56 🥧

@TedHZhang @ConnorJBates_ if I remember correctly you guys are students of Qullamaggi. Perhaps this Model Book might be of interest to you. Cc @RichardMoglen

Looking forward to the bases we get out of this, whenever that may be. Been in cash except for one winner hanging on by a thread. For now, study time

Some thoughts from my journal on the switch to 23-hour trading days: "I think when we make the switch, there should be less major earnings gaps... Sure, you can think of the stocks that go up a bit only to reverse down and close ugly. But if a move is real the demand should still greatly overpower the supply. The real ones should just GO and that's where there might be opportunity where there isn't as much now. Set a stop, a stop loss in case it reverses." Just a thought. Could be nothing.

Remember how you do one thing is how you do everything

I buy, and if it sticks, i sits

$HTFL - not sure exactly what they do but I like the base. Good sales. Health care name. High tight flag, 5-week consolidation, the train should come soon if it's coming..

You can only improve if you're willing to look in the mirror of your results and learn from your mistakes. After a good 2024, I was humbled in the early 2025 chop. I got overconfident. I made classic mistakes. I let USIC get in my head. I ended up down early in the year and that affected my psychology the rest of the year so that I was not able to trade the following rally as best as I should have. I finished the year down and it felt like the end of the world even though I believe "the Marks" would say the downside was relatively contained. My post-analysis of the year made me think "what was I even thinking" - down in a good environment where I should have done well - the worst! Now this year I've been treading super lightly after a good start and a punch in the nose in June. Still up and my equity line has been pretty much flat since then - I'll take it because if I didn't learn what I did from the early 2025 chop, I'd be down. Progress is progress in this never ending game.

$MRNA through @Deepvue - powerful weekly chart. Price and volume action. Near 52-week highs. In RS phase.

One of the worst things you can do is miss a buy that you had planned. The next worst thing is to chase it and buy it once it's extended

Bend with the wind

It appears to me that the story of 'the man in the mountains" is as applicable and advantageous today as it was when Livermore wrote about it. I've found i trade my best when im most detached from the market and keeping an eye on it like a dad BBQ'ing and keeping an eye on his kids playing outside so they dont get hurt or into trouble.
