Trading "cheat code": Weekly charts 👇

Most underrated trading advice: Right position sizing! 👇

One lesson from studying hundreds of big momentum winners: Never reject a stock just because it is already up 200%, 500% or even 1,000%. Some of the biggest moves start after the stock already looks “too extended” to most traders. A stock doubles. Then it builds another setup. Then it doubles again. These stocks are often not fundamentally perfect companies. Many trade primarily on expectations and a powerful story. That's okay. I'm not trying to determine what the stock “should” be worth. I'm looking for the combination of: • Explosive momentum • A powerful story • Extreme attention and demand • The right chart pattern • A defined entry and risk The four charts below are from my Blueprint Model Book. Different stocks. Different stories. But the behavior repeats. The mistake is not buying a stock after it has already made a huge move. The mistake is chasing it without a setup. Big momentum creates opportunity. The setup tells me when to take the risk.

A trading rule that will save you money: Never buy a stock more than 3–5% above its breakout level. You might miss a few winners. That's fine. I'd rather miss a winning stock than chase an extended one and turn a great opportunity into a bad trade.

I'll never stop studying historical stock market winners. Why? Because every time I study them, I strengthen my conviction in my trading strategy and discover something I can apply to my own trading. Take Newbridge Networks in 1992. The stock advanced 724% in just 49 weeks. But look closely at the chart. The initial breakout wasn't the only opportunity. The stock formed several additional entry points during its massive advance. I've missed big winners myself because I thought they were already too extended. Studying charts like this reminds me of three important lessons: 1. Some of the strongest bases form during general market corrections. 2. Great leaders can offer multiple entries through tight consolidations after powerful advances. 3. A stock that has already doubled isn't necessarily finished. It can double again. Of course, not every pullback is a buying opportunity. I still need a high-quality setup and favorable market conditions. My advice: Build your own historical winner model book. Study it regularly. Compare past winners with today's leaders. The stocks change. The patterns often repeat. And the more you study them, the better prepared you'll be to recognize the next opportunity.

Underrated trading advice: Stop micromanaging every position. Stop watching every tick. Stop checking your P&L every 5 seconds. Stop overanalyzing normal price action. Stop being a nervous wreck every time a stock moves against you. I’m not preaching. I used to do all of that myself 10 years ago. What helped me stop? Mentally rehearse the trade before you enter. Imagine the stock pulling back, shaking you out emotionally, or going nowhere for days. Decide in advance how you will react. Risk less. If every small move makes you nervous, you probably have too much money on the line. Smaller risk makes it much easier to follow your plan instead of your emotions. And then practice patience. Give good trades room to work without constantly interfering. Over time, you get more comfortable with uncertainty and normal volatility. Patience, conviction, and mental toughness are skills. You build them trade by trade.
