Learn: Strategy & Workflow Mastery

Master core trading criteria, swing strategies, the Kelly Criterion, and professional research workflows.

Momentum Strategy Section

Core rules for identifying and executing fast, parabolic intraday squeezes.

1. Price Action & Low Float

Focus strictly on low-priced stocks ($0.30 - $20.00) with a share supply (float) under 20 million shares. Restricted float combined with heavy demand creates fast parabolic squeezes. This breakdown explains how to identify key squeeze levels in low float runners without getting trapped.

2. Relative Volume (RVol)

A stock needs more than just high volume—it needs high relativevolume. We look for >5x the daily average. This confirms mass institutional and retail participation, which drives clean technical breakouts instead of false traps.

3. Fresh Catalysts

Never trade random movers blindly. Ensure the stock has a fresh press release, earnings beat, or SEC filing driving the momentum. Trading news catalysts correctly allows you to capitalize on morning spikes before they lose steam.

4. Strict Risk Management

Breakout trading provides the highest return at the cost of the highest risk. Target a minimum 2:1 Reward-to-Risk ratio. Use trailing stops and hard stop losses at key technical support levels. Never hold a low-float momentum runner overnight.

Swing Trading & Kelly Optimization Section

Optimizing multi-day position sizing, risk mathematics, and workflow integration.

Swing Trading Foundations & Research Workflow

Unlike fast intraday momentum trading, swing trading requires patience across multi-day and multi-week setups. This walkthrough covers structural trend identification, sector rotation research, and integrating macroeconomic data into your daily scanning workflow to find high-probability swing targets.

The Kelly Criterion & Capital Optimization

The Kelly Criterion mathematically determines the optimal size of a series of bets to maximize long-term capital growth. Learn how to input your historical win rate and average win/loss ratio into our built-in calculator, and why professional swing traders often utilize a "Fractional Kelly" (such as half-Kelly) to protect against severe drawdowns.
