Really great video! I'm definitely the type of person to get frustrated buying breakouts that later fail. Having alternative points to buy on weakness really resonates with me. Look forward to trying this out!

[@TraderLion]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@refikb]

Great, concise video, thanks guys. Food for thought, two additional ways to buy on the right side of the cup is break out off anchored vwap from previous top and also breakout off of first higher high.

[@TraderLion]

Good point!

The tactics of trading and the principles underlying them that Mr. Harris presents so ably here are almost identical, but for his terminology and his employment of moving averages rather than trendlines, to those developed by Richard W. Schabacker and set forth in his great, seminal work, Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits, first published in 1932 and subsequently regarded by many as the "original bible" of the discipline.

[@Political_observer]

Watching this video in 2024, trying this strategy from past couple of months, made some successful trades, i made an indicator based on this strategy.However I am willing to learn more and refine my process

In buying prior to breakout at 18:03 example , Red MA is falling not sure if its 50 or 200 DMA , is it fine as it indicates that stock is not trending ?

[@whatschrisupto4138]

your initial guideline/rule was 50 day uptrend...does the first swks example contradict this rule?

[@carlosbigott4004]

Condensed wisdom! Thanks so much!

[@Kmuja18]

[@sameerbhatia451]

This is by far the best explanation on how to buy a pullback that I have heard. Thanks Charles & TL for sharing this. Priceless stuff!

[@TraderLion]

Thanks for watching!

[@IsaacWendt]

Would love to hear the percentage buys on these buys.

[@Chris-wk8nu]

When your swing trading smaller size around a core position. Are you doing LIFO or first in first out? Wouldn’t that raise your overall cost average? Any thoughts on this?

[@irf1897]

Great lesson. Thanks a lot Charles

[@TraderLion]

Glad you liked it!

[@monzoncali]

~1 to 2 weeks accumulation around 50-day MA support zone, allows for 'normal' chop as it bounces off the 50-day (if it bounces) and resumes up trending

[@mhrosoha]

Thanks for uploading this video Richard. What does he mean by upside reversal day ? Green day after the stock pulls back to a key support level/moving average ?

[@mrtravelhub4313]

I think gap down and close green , near high

[@callmemoa8701]

Hi Charles, thanks for this wonderful content. At minute 9.20 you talk about liquidity compared to the size of your account. Could you give a rapid guide to what to seek as Average Daily Traded Volume in respect to the position we are trading? Should we seek, for example, only stocks that trade daily 1000x the size of a full size position? Or more? Thanks

[@stephenkutney9626]

Great video. Maybe Mr. Harris should consider moving to a no tax state. I live in NYS which is a high taxed state. I don't have his problem because I don't have his skills.

[@p.r.7776]

20' 03”, do you require increasing volume for each pull back buy? Other than the first upside reversal, the other ones seem not having big volume. How do you weigh the volume vs desired price pattern

[@pphils14]

Loved this presentation. I was just searching for a strategy during these kind of markets where "correct" pivot points are failing and institutions are selling into strength. Thanks so much!

[@TraderLion]

Glad it was helpful!

[@secretnobody6460]

Yoo Richard, this is very helpful! i have been trying to follow VCPs and following trends. i am too conservative with my positions because i use only 0.1% of my position at risk every trade or 2.5% of my total portfolio. This strategy of buying pullbacks will add entries to my strategies because it is still based on the CANSLIM/ VCP style of trading. This will help pyramiding or averaging up my positions without risking too much in a single entry. I can enter with 2.5% positions with very low risk but will be able to do it a lot of times to build it up to 20% by adding these pullback entries!! i was only focused on buying Pivot breakouts before and it takes a while for a new breakout set up to form before i add so this pullback entries helps a lot! Do you apply these pullback entries as well Richard?? :)

[@leson2028]

Becoming better and better in just one skill in the industry could help us getting profit consistently

[@tariktijanovic2646]

I have a question. He is saying that he only enters the trade if it is in uptrend and also if pullback is above 10%. I don't have much experience, but it seems to me that it is very rare or it barely ever happens that stocks pullback more than 10% during uptrend?

[@TraderLion]

Stocks will very often pullback 10-30% while still in a longer term uptrend. After large moves stocks tend to pullback/base before the next leg higher.

[@ThomasDowner]

@traderlion which portfolio ended up winning😂? Did Charles ever update I must know

[@israelpg77]

I like TraderLion videos, and this was a good presentation, Richard does a great job with the questions. However, I have the impression that these pro traders are just showing an overall picture of their setups. Do they really trade based on a strong conviction with a particular stock plus a reversal candlestick just after support? I am not sure... So I get the main idea but I know there is a lot more work to do behind the scenes...

[@TraderLion]

There definitely is more work to do behind the scenes, and I think Charles and the other traders would say the same. Hundreds of hours of chart time, reviewing past trades and past market cycles, along with being able to identify the market environment that fits those setups the best.

[@israelpg77]

Hello Richard, Thanks a lot for this masterclass. I just don't understand how to add position if a stock is getting close to 21 or 50 MAs. Speaker tells that he never go all at once. He slowly add position. I never understand this concept. If I keep adding on the way up, my risk increases. And if I keep adding on way down, I just don't know when to stop. Plz help

you look to enter after the stock shows strength at he level and pushes up

[@TraderLion]

Noted!

[@LeftSideCapital]

This should be looked at as a course on what not to do. This is why mark Minervini takes very small losses 6-8% should be considered a bad loss. Buying as stocks fall is insane. Especially beginners should be cautious about listening to this advice.

[@naimmazlan114]

Lol. Buying pullback in uptrend stocks is a solid strategy. Better risk to reward ratio compared to breakout style. 5-7% loss is normal considering it offers 1:2 reward or more.
