So is everyone watching 4135 to hold and for 4200 level to get tested Thur-Fri?

I'm leaning towards a stall out, then pullback next week.

I think we are going to sell into the close for profit taking.

In 2020 I expected the market to go down more and kept thinking that it didn't make sense we were running up, so I kept shorting and losing.

I think the same thing now and it's still going up after 6 green qqq days. What should I look for to know that it's time to throw logic out the window and just ride the wave up?

Your exact reasoning foe wanting to enter, are exactly why this leg up has a little more left, and then the big sell. This is not a market to chase.

Hola Amigos!

Big spot.

200EMA in red.
Trend line channel back to Jan.

Trade wisely!

You long puts yet? or waiting to see if it breaks upward?

Since most trade SPY here, plenty of room to keep going up if they want it. Still believe this is just a typically bear market rally. Probably get to a least 4200-4220 ES before turning, but will be a good time to get into longer term puts, started legging into them today.

You forgot RUBI/MGNI, X, and MBIO. Those were massive green trades just in the last couple years.

OA has my full respect and doesn't need me to defend him, but I would never in a million years call his sessions a waste. I'm an OK trader and I am one of the first to admit when someone is a superior entity. I've learned from OA. He's #1 on this board. I don't know who #2 is, but there's a large gap. Maybe Greasen or Prog.

You know why?

He talked about execution and in particular how he executes. Execution is a person's edge in trading or how they differentiate. Most of these sub services will post entries and exits but they will never tell you the why behind it - how they decide on an entry and how they decide on a target. It is an amazing gift that he does that.

The alpha and ideas he's brought to this board are amazing. ASAN, MVIS, NIO, NET, RIG, ROKU, and so on. Has he had losers? Yes. Everyone does. Even Mark Minervini and Paul Tudor Jones have losers.

WWR more than doubled from the time he called it. If you lost money on WWR it is your fault. You own your trades, you own your risk, you own your stops. Nobody can push the buttons for you and do the thinking for you.

I think OA is extremely accessible too. Folks on this board should consider themselves lucky to have access to actual pro traders that are willing to help them.

Just my two cents.

Those QCOM calls from the 2019 Apple lawsuit that OA called out, made tons of people 10k+ each. Never questioned OA after that

I only got one of your sessions and still watch it. Not an OG but it's obvious you are here to help everyone achieve financial freedom. Anyone who doesn't see that can kick rocks IMO.

---

His teaching sessions were extremely good. Gave information you just don't find publicly available.

When I grow up, I wanna be "that guy". I'd sacrifice a live animal to get into his class.

It's BS to blame OA for this board going collectively crazy over WWR but let's not rewrite history here. It was always a "mass accumulation" play so anyone that bought in wasn't going to sell at 8 bucks (unfortunately).

There was some mass delusion on this baord about that play and OA never did much to temper it.

Calling OA "that guy" is the ultimate sign of capitulation. The bottom is in on WWR. Load the boat.

---

I mean he did take this board for close to six figs on his "sessions", and then disappeared.

Just a lurkers opinion.

---

Would it be possible to help this board out if you could list 5 things you learned and retained from OAs sessions, then applied them and your success/failure?

Just curious……

416.30s has been a spot I've traded a bunch. So if I had a wish we'd push into and over that today/tomorrow which would run us into the long trend channel upper and into +3ATR.

Then I will hedge pretty good out at least a month. SPY Puts, and selling covered. Trading wise I think a short weekly here pretty soon is a green trade. Maybe next Friday ATM on a high close.

Arrow is +3 (30k special)

I appreciate OA tremendously. He definitely changed my approach to the stock market in a positive way.

Hey all, I lurked a long while back and then purposely looked away while I went to school and got my degree. New graduate now with a decent job and hopped back on. Looking for education from the long timers here.
I know this board is an incredible resource and from the outside looking in, a fantastic community. I know I asked in the far past ( several years ago) about starting off but legitimately can't find that post and the responses so going to pester y'all and ask again.

So, apologies for asking again, but what are the best practices and techniques to truly start learning and making this a thing in my life? In general I mean. I know there is obviously a lot of nuance at the personal level. Googling and YouTubing generates information overflow and want to weed through the fluff as fast as possible and looking for recs.

Snapshot of me to understand my position and desires. Been poor to crippling poor vast majority of my life. Talking going to bed with aching tummy from hunger as a kid kinda poor. To be frank I was tired of it so made the decision to go back to school in my 30s and better myself. Graduated this year and secured a respectable and actual career job finally. (Bless the Aggie Network). I should be ok now but frankly I am no where near where I want to be financially. I am closer to 40 now than 30 and getting a very late start at a decent life. Single, no kids. So I'll only hurt myself if I suck at this. Used to that so no biggie. Destroyed my retirement to go back to school, maxing it out now with new job. Extremely low five digit long term stock holds. My couple financial positives is that I am debt free and have great credit. I also do not have stars in my eyes and probably the one thing I know best about this world, is that it is volatile and I am guaranteed absolutely nothing. I mess up, that's on me.

Just to paint a picture hopefully that I am not a punk kid that just wants to dabble to make a few fat stacks to party with and that I am worth y'all's time being here. I also find it rather fascinating to be honest.

So all that being said, with the accumulated knowledge and my situation, if you had to do it all over again. Where would you start? Which books to read? Gurus to follow and listen to? Videos to watch?

Thanks all.

Look at S&P and NASDAQ futures this morning. That's just silly. First time I've held anything overnight in my trading account in months and those two TSLA P that I didn't get sell at the close are going to be worthless. The gap ups are crazy.
