Almost every profitable trader we sit down with has one rule they never break. For some it's a daily loss limit. For others it's no trades in the first 15 minutes. What's yours?

YOU GOT STOPPED OUT. THEN THE STOCK TOOK OFF WITHOUT YOU. @ConnorJBates_ , 25 and co-managing $50 million, explains the setup that looks for an entry AFTER that shakeout. A stock breaks support. Stops get hit. Then price reclaims the level. That reclaim is what gets his attention, but only if the stock has been holding up better than the wider market. “Stocks that resist the urge to go down when the market goes down.” In under five minutes, Connor breaks down two ways he looks to catch major moves: the first earnings gap that changes a company’s story, and the undercut-and-rally setup during market weakness. He shows what confirms his entry, where he places the stop, and why buying the obvious breakout can sometimes leave you getting shaken out. The move that forced you OUT could be setting up his way IN. Watch the breakdown, then study his full “super stock” playbook in the episode. Full episode 👇

Fabio Valentini ranked top 3 in the Robbins Cup with over 500% in 12 months. He only trades his model during the New York session. Most traders try to trade every session. The fix: find the hours your setup works best, and stay out of the rest.

You see someone post a trade, so you take it too. But you don't know their stop, their size, or when they plan to exit. So when it goes wrong, you have no plan at all. The fix: only take trades you could explain yourself.
