Energy Top 100 Model - XLE -
Top picks for today. (Above 50% is what i focus on for additions) Was able to get a solid position prior to this XLE rally. The model kept me heavier cash early last week as it was making less than 10 picks per day. Then became more active after the …
VIX + VVIX Compression While the VIX Curve Is Flattening
I’m watching a volatility setup right now that I think is worth paying attention to. Using Andrew Thrasher’s *Forecasting a Volatility Tsunami* framework, the idea is that volatility spikes are often preceded not simply by low VIX, but by compressed VIX and VVIX. A low VIX reading alone is not …
Swing Trading through an ATM offering - NVTS uggh

What would you do here (and why)?
This is my best trade so far this year, one of my best ever. 81% unrealized gain in 8 days (actually, the profit so far was all made in the first 5 days). It came up in my breakout screener and I caught it before the big move. Rare occurrence. …
what to do now
28yo here. Been investing for 5 years, but over the last year I’ve taken it much more seriously — mainly swing trading alongside some longer-term holds. What’s frustrating is that around 70% of the stocks I’ve added to my watchlist have gone on to do 100%+ moves. I haven’t been …
NOC (Northrop) poised for a bounce
$NOC has fallen quite rapidly in the past couple months. Right now, it is sitting on major support around $550 and 14 day RSI is way oversold around 19. Looking for a bounce here to $570-$600.
