The #1 HIDDEN Trading Mistake (Not what you think)

[@moonlightandsunshine6875]

This conversation may sound straightforward on the surface yet I find it’s the missing link that I have not noticed on my end. Glad to be sitting in on this locker room talk!

[@moonlightandsunshine6875]

A lot of these questions are missing in my own process! Many of which I didn't find in myself to ask during a review.

I stopped taking any wedge that consolidates right below VWAP and that rule has helped me to avoid bull traps where price fakes a breakout to the upside, runs into VWAP, and then immediately gets slammed back down through the bottom of the wedge for a large loss. Learned that lesson the hard way. Sure, sometimes you'll get a short squeeze, but it's not worth the risk in my opinion, and in general if a stock is trading below VWAP it means the sellers are still in control.

Would you think about taking a short position in those scenarios, or is it not consistent enough to add to the playbook?

Tape reading and chart patterns recognition has help me a lot especially on TOS platform. You guys are dropping liquid gold 🗣️

[@mo938]

why liquid?

[@Apex.Machina]

Yes. I learned the hard way that these cookie cutter pattern cheat sheets are very inconsistent. I've also learned that a pattern that may be present in one stock/crypto may not be present in others You have to learn the patterns for the asset you are trading and most strategies taught on the internet based on pattern recognition are not one-size fits all.

[@smbcapital]

absolutely right!

[@realruggeddiy]

@@smbcapital Isn’t it strange how trading one stock on a Monday could be different from trading a stock on perhaps a Tuesday or even a Wednesday?

[@DavidSkerritt]

The setups are only a piece of the picture. You have to have the screen time and intuition to know when to apply a particular setup and when to pass on a legitimate textbook setup because something about it or the context didn't quite look right. That "didn't quite look right" is your intuition scanning through 1000's of hours of screen time telling you that something about it isn't right. Those decisions are what take a long time to master.

Really, really appreciate all of the content you all provide. Can't get enough! There are gold nuggets hidden in every video.

[@arttorrez5548]

Luv the topic. Failed setups are common. It took me years to learn that you can't just trade a setup on one timeframe. This is why most need to supplement it with technicals, order flow, fundamentals, news, volititily all for a mere scalp. I learned you need to trade mtfa on specific key timeframes in a confluence. There actually is a science behind the higher and lower tfs. The real setups are hidden in the keyed mtfs. And so I trade mtfs for the setup and not one tf. This eliminates the need to depend soley on catalysts for movement with technicals and fundamentsls. And I get large high tf movements and not scalps. jmho Great content. I learned strict mindset of deep market analysis from smb videos. 👍

[@realtimeforextraderthebrut8571]

Another FABULOUS video from SMB!!!!! Thank you for sharing.... Sharing the experience and knowledge of professional traders benefits the trading community as a whole. Lots of pearls of wisdom from this serious trader. Please keep posting more of these informative and very positive interviews.

Good stuff. Context + money management are part of the process to PROTECT YOU from YOUR own PSYCHOLOGY!

This is one of my fav's ! SMB consistently hits it out the park. So much knowledge condensed in this one I have watched it 3 times. The stash is a solid 7.8, the data sheet is info for the algo I will code. I owe everyone at SMB big time. Outstanding work Gentlemen!

[@shanebrown8242]

Great video! Something thats helped me when looking for context for a trade idea is to look on a longer term time frame and ask myself the question 'where has it come from, and where does it have the potential to go?' Its basically a brian shannon quote lol

[@markmcgwiresbackne5705]

Long ago we shared everything with each other, what I do is not a secret, it's simple stuff, I traded $MRNA wedge 10/28, I bought $PXD on Monday morning after Friday earnings selloff, then caught the backside trade, I bought $AA ahead of the open today, I bought $AMD today after the close on earnings. The why and how too's are simple. I'm getting older and the excitement comes from watching the new guys light up when they get it right.

Filter is the hardest part to get through. There is so much noise going on that spin beginning traders around.

[@KT-zx9jr]

Thanks Mike. I think the most statistically reliable indicator for success to ensure you have a higher probability trade relying on any pattern, is the strength or weakness of both the underlying stock and market. A stronger stock may outperform the mkt yet a strong stock + a strong market with a bullish chart pattern is more probable to work ....the foregoing assumes a bullish position n pattern such as a bullish continuation pattern of any geometric shape....

Man. Garrett’s stach is epic! First video I’ve seen with him rocking the stash.

[@santobosco6167]

I took a base break on TSLA today. It was basing just below but on vwap, entered when base was broken up, which also put price above vwap! I entered, TPd at 1:1 but let the reminder of the move take myself out in green vs letting it go red, and in the end it never broke the actual stop level, and went on to make at least a 3-4:1 .

[@joesephburns1628]

This is why trading really takes so long to become consistent its not enough to learn how to trade you have to adapt to trading and everything revolving around how you plan to trade

Another fantastic discussion ! So in essence the context drives the set up.... and the set up only works best when the context of the catalyst is significant....the direction of the move is clear on higher time frames with price above important levels and holding... finally the interest expressed through rvolume is also significant showing buyers and sellers are paying attention

Can you make a video or say what constitutes an "elite trader" by your standards? How profitable must one be and over what period? You throw this term around but I have yet to see it defined

[@realruggeddiy]

I think maybe you’re missing the point here. There’s a unique strategy that they’re trying to convey and it may be different from that of those you hear from other traders online and what worked for you and one situation may not work for you across all situations, but somewhere along the way, there’s a key mistake that you’re making. Does that summarize what you’re getting from listening to this video?
