You know I need a new pinned tweet. So I’m gonna post all my favorite @team3dstocks threads that have personally shaped my thinking. These tweets are based from my 637 page, 106,909 word document I put together during my early years and pretty much made me profitable.

How to short parabolic moves

"How do you short a parabolic move".

Such a popular DM/question year after year. The answer is pretty simple.

You dont.

There are much easier trades out there. The only time i'd recommend it is if your account is large enough to split up your max size in at least 5-10 lots pic.twitter.com/whdIIVMddk

How to deal with emotions

My answer on how to deal with emotions & trading is always the same.

1) systematize ur trading, down to a checklist. same entry and exit signals every time (for each setup). the more room u leave to intuition, the more ammo u give to the emotional brain. pic.twitter.com/i9ZTSEYFo9

Manipulation & underwriters

Underwriters & manipulators use the same dirty tricks all the time. They dont need to change their tactics b/c most traders have been taught to ignore fundamentals anyway. examp if it's a big ATM & they're expecting low volume, 95% of the time they'll gap it up & dump at the open https://t.co/smPZEu4GOi

Sizing up

After a convo with an extremely hard-working mentee yesterday who struggles with swings in performance, i figured most will benefit from re mentioning this.

Take..

your..

motherfucking time!!

You have to EARN the right to size up. The market isn't going anywhere, TRUST ME.!! https://t.co/UMKBVwz79z

Gurus on twitter, how trash most of them are, and what you need to do

Newsflash. on twitter, gurus dont say "i dont know" or "i ll have to do some research on it 1st". that's bad for business. Instead they'll say "it doesnt work". Conclusion, if someone tells u an indicator doesnt work but cant show u the data PROVING that, tell em to STFU !!

Some notes on institutional ownership pt 1

That’s been one of my biggest secrets forever, but i went into detail about it 2 years ago in old tweets. U never wanna see high institutional ownership in a microcap stock. Never. Its ADF score drops substantially when i see that unless other factors compensate#bearTipOfTheDay https://t.co/tLAoOLXrUa

What factors to pay attention to in low floats

For the 1000th time, For lowfloats, all I care about is:

-fundamentals (mainly dilution, news, share structure etc)

-technicals (mainly volume, L2/tape & MAs etc)

-psychology (sentiment, who im up against etc)

to gauge if supply will be higher than demand (volume forecast)

You gon learn today – market psychology

Ridiculously overbought stocks tend to go much higher, and highly oversold stocks tend to go much lower. Simply b/c they attract the most stubborn of shortsellers & dip buyers. No one short w/ size wants to cover at the top, & no one long size wants to stop out into capitulation.

The journey of a trader

The journey of a trader is one of struggle and endless failures. you need thick skin and a stubborn fucking mentality to make it in this biz, simply b/c there are SO many steps u have to climb, SO many pieces of ur shitty personality u have to shed, in order to finally "make it"

Good notes on lowfloat fundamentals

No, a shelf is NOT an instant ATM that can be dumped at anytime.
No, an EFFECT doesnt mean it's TIED to the most recent S3 u carelessly skimmed.
No, just b/c a company has warrants at $3 doesnt mean they can just use em.
No, just b/c a company has an ATM doesnt mean its relevant

When the market gets tough

The lowfloat "sector" has changed over the years. That is not an opinion, that is a FACT, and anyone who tracks patterns & their stats DAY after DAY cannot deny thi. Stocks just dont fade the way they used to. Choppiness & traps have gone through the roof, & the numbers dont lie.

— AllDayFaders (@team3dstocks) January 10, 2019

What moves markets

Why? because the market doesnt care about our indicators, our knowledge, our goals, our plans, our IQs, our egoes etc. The market only respects ONE thing, and that my friend, is deep fucking pockets. Stocks move b/c of fuckers with DEEP pockets and the BALLS to use em. PERIOD.

2 sets of risk management rules

#BearTipOfTheDay

I only have 2 set of risk management rules:

1) Rules that protect me against the market

2) Rules that protect me against my goddamn self.

On ur largest losses, the market didnt take ur money. YOU gave the market ur damn money. Rules=insurance against YOURSELF

Jesse Livermore’s Walk Into Profits Quickly (WIPQ)

"The best trades go into profit quickly"

This simple quote from Livy the GOAT is the CORNERSTONE of my risk management. You have NO business, I repeat NO business, being on max size if you're not in the money. This simple advice will save u from SO many fucking huge losses

— AllDayFaders (@team3dstocks) October 19, 2018

Big ass losses, breaking your rules, and dopamine hits

#BearTipOfTheDay:

One of the absolute WORST things that can happen to you as a trader, is to make money after breaking one of ur rules. Why? One of the evolutionary roles of dopamine is not just to give pleasure, it is to REINFORCE the behavior that JUST gave u that pleasure

No trading system is foolproof, but that’s not the point

u wanna know what grinds my fucking gears?

when ppl say dumb shit after a win like "yay look at me, i did this without indicator x, and indicator Y, just chart only"

Oh so when u get ur face ripped off after trusting the "chart only" do u ALSO brag about how accurate it is?

— AllDayFaders (@team3dstocks) October 24, 2018

Volume analysis and bullish factors

You also now see why Im EXTREMELY careful & use bitch size or tight stops on stocks with either:

1-high inst interest
2-thin floats
3-few bagholders
4-little dilution
5-forward looking news

Historically, those factors led to my LARGEST blowups, & also the LARGEST squeezes

Doing the work yourself and stop being lazy

Some of these DMs just show me how LAZY ppl fucking are. SAME questions EVERYTIME. Dont ask me to give u my system. Are u mental? You know how many years went into this shit? You know how many sleepless nights? how many blowups? How many "sorry, daddy is busy" words to my kid?

Shitty advice you commonly see all over fintwit

The more i get closer 2 finishing these DMs, the more i see how much damage was caused 2 GOOD pals this week. Yes, part of it was from bad risk mgt, but another part is from HORRIBLE advice given from ppl they look up to. Here are 3 WORST pieces of advice i see ALL the time!!

— AllDayFaders (@team3dstocks) September 23, 2018

Optimizing risk management and lvl 2

It was on that night that I decided that i was gonna murder $NBEV no matter what. I knew it was gonna be a hard fight, so I literally stayed up for HOURS optimizing only ONE thing:

Risk management

I knew that as LONG as i took care of that, rest would take care of itself

The goal of fundamental analysis in lowfloats

The goal of fundamentals is to detect supply/demand imbalances BEFORE they happen. Then u use Technical Analysis (price action, trend, volume, tape etc) to CONFIRM the fundamental thesis, & manage risk (entry/exits/size). Shitty fundamentals either increase supply or lower demand https://t.co/WniTzQN08r

Only trade your system and nothing else

Until you understand this concept of ONLY trading the setups you KNOW, MASTERED, and UNDERSTAND, you'll never be profitable. The BEST traders I know, whether they're scalpers, swing traders, investors, daytraders etc, obey this SIMPLE rule. They ONLY trade what they KNOW

— AllDayFaders (@team3dstocks) October 24, 2018

Which technical indicators to use

I start with the daily (bagholders, prev big volume vwaps, key levels, trend etc). Then i check 60min, 15min, 5min chart etc to see which MA whoever is controlling the stock is using. Whatever timeframe they’re using is the one i focus on. Market doesnt care about my preferences https://t.co/z6VM1O0ucA

Signals are context dependent

1/2 Trading is never that binary. If u go back to that tweet u'll see that i said "when the OTHER stars align". Every buy or sell signal is relative to the context of the trade. Multiple things have to line up for a signal to indicate REAL strength or weakness. Here are examples: https://t.co/OQJnIU15aG

Time frames different traders use

Going back and re-reading things you studied

Each time ur knowledge grows, so does ur INTERPRETATION of knowledge. Thats y i ALWAYS recommend goin back 2 old stuff u read in the past. ull always get new "Aha" moments & go "fuck how did I miss this the 1st time". u didnt miss it. u were just not ready 2 absorb it at the time

Starting from the bottom

Lvl 2 confirmation

Btw from early 2018 and before, ADF did not post in threads, and instead just posted (sometimes with numbers). Maybe twitter didn’t have that functionality. I put the tweets together in order in my document and will post the screenshots here

Information is the most important commodity

Shady shit behind the scenes

Short selling is not the main factor in a stock going down
