$BORR: Why Avoiding Pre-Earnings Trades Is a Survival Rule in Trading
''Always seek for reasons to avoid a trade'' — a real-time lesson witnessed in my gated community. $Borr Drilling Ltd(BORR)$ was a reminder why having a hard rule of avoiding trades within 3 days of earnings matters. No matter how clean the chart looks, you need enough duration cushion against an earnings gap with binary outcomes — almost like a casino game. I stayed patient and avoided proposing the May 18 entry on the triple base-on-base setup because earnings were due in T+3, which fell outside my initial partial profit-taking window — limiting the ability to size down risk even if the trade moved in favor beforehand. My thought process on the chart after it moved on 18th May is the better reward-risk trade post earnings that one could aligned
$ARMG Explodes Higher While $DXYZ Sets Up the Next Trend Leg
$Leverage Shares 2X Long ARM Daily ETF(ARMG)$ (Update) — further push with a +21% move at the open. Taking some size off at 12x ATR% from the 50-MA, $ARM Holdings(ARM)$ is at 9.5 x ATR% from 50-MA. This could still develop into a range-expansion move with a larger upside day ahead, but at this level of extension, it can also easily tilt and deflate. Scaling partial profits helps reduce pressure and gives peace of mind, while allowing the remaining position to ride/retrace on the rising 10-MA and stay involved for any reset to the future rally leg after this — similar to $Destiny Tech100 Inc(DXYZ)$ . $DXYZ (Update) — We should have memory of how Qullamaggie style s
$ARM $MRAM Highlight Why Relative Strength Still Matters in This Tape
$ARM Holdings(ARM)$$Leverage Shares 2X Long ARM Daily ETF(ARMG)$ We’ve been focusing on leadership names that can either move sideways or pull back lightly while allowing the 50-MA to catch up to within 4x ATR% from the 50-MA, and setup for a low risk entry. Those are areas and inflection point that present the biggest RRR opportunity imo. Still only T+0, but market has been pretty resilient. ARMG Huge +29% move with 117% RVOL in 90mins for a 222B market cap in ARM $Everspin Technologies Inc(MRAM)$ so May 13th was the exact top that I shared below. wanted a few more up days but parabolic screener is doing well even with tight filter of only 2 results in MRAM and
$WGMI, $DAPP, and $BLOK Quietly Became Market Leaders
The biggest winners I have in relative to size are early positions build in March from this space and $Invesco DB Agriculture Fund(DBA)$ before everyone jump on April rally in market. I am positioned purely on principle of Relative Strength from industry group first, a top-down approach. There’s been significant tailwind here since the March RS shift. I wrote about $BTCUSD on monthly log chart support on March 2nd and dived to floor price at $60,000 in March 17th to take the first mover opportunity I’m constantly learning to build positions before themes become crowded in the mainstream. $BTC, blockchain, and data-processing related names and group in $Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF(WGMI)$
$Quantum Computing Inc.(QUBT)$ (Update) – Avoided a losing idea by respecting ATR-based LoD distance, despite 900% RVOL. The importance of not chasing entries extended beyond the security’s ATR-based volatility range remains critical. If your entries are precise and efficient — keeping risk contained below the 50–60% LoD stop threshold relative to ATR behavior — you significantly improve both trade quality and risk control, also you will get a more impactful RRR for winning trades. I highly recommend referring to @CFlanders7’s recent excellent post to understand how tightly he manages risk. The entries are incredibly tight, yet highly rewarding. The relationship between RRR and position sizing is not linear — it becomes exponential when risk is ef
