Very strong ticker, gapped down a lot when it beat earnings right of an important HTF support level. Traded the wedge pattern, but there were also trend PB's to trade.
MSFT was gapping down on earnings news. They beat the estimates but also guided a bit lower. There was a key support level that MSFT bounced of. Together with a strong market MSFT reversed and made a strong PB.
My preparation wasn't detailed enough. I didn't put enough emphasis on a potential trend day, even though we had a significant fundamental catalyst: TSLA missed on delivery numbers for Q4. But I adapted quick and prepared for my first Trend PB trade. I did okay on my entry, but I puked the exit. I need to learn how to hold for a bigger move. That will be the main focus for next time, not selling unless there's a good reason2sell.
Failed gap down bounce day - trend pb - AP vwap pull in - PG - 20-1-23.pptxMaartenvanBemmel3

Gap down Bounce trend day - Trend PB - TSLA - 6-1-23.pptxMaartenvanBemmel3
Added a new setup to my playbook: bounce trend day. Wasn't really familiar and I therefore didn't prepare for this setup. Glad I have added this setup to my playbook. This is a great setup for growth stocks that sold off a lot.
Did a great job of finding a stock showing relative strenght to the market. The semiconductors were the strongest class yesterday and NVDA was gapping up.
I prepared NFLX in great detail but it was not easy to form a bias. There was an earnings miss with a positive reaction. But there were some elements in the catalyst that were positive. The technicals were also strong so a reversal wasn't obvious at all. In the end the price action fitted the catalyst and setup: indecisive and choppy. Nevertheless, there was a solid trend PB trade that occured EOD. SPY was trending all afternoon and this was an important factor.

Well defined wedge pattern on a AMZN. Stock showed relative strenght during the open and broke out of a larger downtrend. The SPY eventually started to break HOD and trend which resulted in a HOD close of AMZN as well.
Fail to recognized the wedge pattern because I put too much significance on one specific price level. Then I decided to chase the breakout with a scalp trade. That idea wasn't bad, but the execution was very poor. I was trading a little bit on tilt and didn't use my scalping system.
The document discusses a potential high time frame breakout trade in the stock BABA. Key points include:
- BABA is in a strong sector and has the potential for a technical breakout.
- The stock has consolidated in a tight range near key resistance at $95 in the pre-market.
- Traders should watch for a breakout from the opening range consolidation, entering on the first higher low with a stop below the opening range low.
This is a playbook trade I made on MRNA. MRNA is a stock that was very strong in the last two months and had a new catalyst. They had positive data on their cancer vaccince. It is a continuation play.
It was my first time in this setup a trading this specific trade. I plenty of things right, but luckily there is also a lot of room for improvement. Cheers.
After a large gap up of 6%, TSLA made a bullish opening range and pulled into VWAP. Institutional buyers were clearly present around VWAP on the level 2, and we got a quick bounce of VWAP and made a new HOD.

A specific trade that doesn't occur that often. After either a very strong or weak open, price starts to consolidate for at least 15 minutes. When price doesn't really pull in, traders will have to chase higher or lower and we get a nice continuation trade.
Strong price action on earnings play. Since I discovered that I in general shouldn't trade between 13-14PM, this is the first time I am making this mistake. That can happen but from now on it's unacceptable. I also did some research on playbook setups that made a huge ATR move, pulled back and made a new HOD. SPOT didn't fit these criteria.
D2 continuation play on ILMN, very similar to LULU the day before. Due to a mistake I missed this setup.. Lower volume stock, but it still made a very nice move and closed strong.
COST had a positive catalyst and broke out of a daily range. It had a very strong opening drive and quickly formed a wedge during the open. This wedge broke out and before 11AM COST was already up almost 2.5ATR move. This seemed very extended, but we got a HTF Trend PB that closed near HOD because the overall market was trending as well.
First day of MRNA where it broke trough very important Higher Time Frame (HTF) levels whilst having a very strong fundamental catalyst. This playbook captures two trades: a First consolidation - Morning continuation trade and a Pullback (PB) retracement. The move during the morning was huge. In the end we trended but but didn't manage to close into/near the high of the day.
The miss on earnings caused a significant gap down of -4% and -2ATR. Directly when the market opened, NEE was extremely weak and sold off without a proper PB. Then it reclaimed VWAP on volume. This should have been the cue for a solid EOD Trend PB opportunity, but I missed it.

D3 continuation play. The strenght was mainly in the opening action, but it didn't provide any playbook setups for me. After a VWAP pull in a trend started, but the volume wasn't enough to reach HOD.
COIN, a broken stock on the daily, bounced out of it's downward channel and reclaimed the 50SMA. ARKK was also showing relative strenght which made it a solid market play as well. Strong trend day after a weaker open.
Gap down bounce day - Wedge and trend PB - LULU - 9-1-23.pptxMaartenvanBemmel3
Strong bounce play on LULU. They announced that they were lowering their guidance for the next quarter. This is bad news, but recent prior earnings LULU already gapped and trended down 13%. Today LULU gapped down almost 11%, and the market deemed that it was extended.
Today price
Strong setup on D2 where we opened below an important higher time frame level that validated the breakout/continuation. Price immediately reclaimed this level and start to consolidate early in the open. The breakout that followed was huge, it went straight up.
WBA had decent earnings but a net loss due to massive legal costs caused a 4% gap down. Price sold of sharp in the morning, chopped around and then pulled back into VWAP. This was a good trade2hold that I recorded but didn't trade because I was ill.
After some strong price action following a gap up, price starts to struggle and fails down VWAP on some elevated volume. Then price pulls into the EMA's on shallow volume and got some nice follow through.

1. Gap down bounce
day
Catalyst: Earnings beat
Setup: Gap down bounce day
Trades: Wedge & Trend PB
Ticker: DFS
Date: 20-1-23
2. Bigger picture: XLF and VIX
XLF:
Just like SPY and Q’s, XLF has
broken down the 50SMA. But
it outperformed a little
intraday because it managed
to close green. Like most ETF’s
it was a small range day.
VIX level : 20
VIX has reclaimed the 20
threshold. It’s a market where
traders should/can focus
more on market plays.
3. Gap down
bounce day–
Setup
Strategy
Setup idea
There’s a catalyst, usually negative, that has caused a large gap down. The thesis is that the market
has overreacted, and the stock has sold of too much. The stock will bounce and have an intraday
trend. It can become a trend day, but I think this is less likely. It can also turn into a failed gap down
bounce day and have a bearish trend.
Setup variables
-Large gap% and ATR: <gap>% / -<ATR>ATR
-Preferably a HTF support level: <price>
- Strong intraday price action that confirms thesis.
Playbook examples: LULU, ILMN and DFS.
Playbook trades:
-Opening range breakout.
-Wedge pattern.
-Trend PB
Anti playbook trades:
VWAP Pull In.
Gap down (bounce) day is not a setup that goes along with the VWAP pull in trade. I am going long
on a stock that is down. When I trade that, I want there to be strength and an intraday trend. If we
have strength and pull back into VWAP, then almost always we have broken the intraday trend.
Getting in at VWAP and anticipating a new trend instead of joining it, doesn’t have high odds and
these setups with a gap down and negative catalyst.
4. Gameplan/ 5 step’s/checklists
1) Premarket game plan.
2) Prioritize and deep dive
Identified this correctly as a gap down bounce day setup, compared it with
LULU and ILMN. This is a strong setup because the catalyst was positive AND
there was an important HTF level. I had high conviction in this setup. I should
do a better job grading the potential of the setup. Would be the first cue for
a potential big move. Next time I’ll compare it with current playbook setups.
3) Analyze intraday price action.
Room to trend on the intraday was questionable, I thought. The opening
range breakout already made a 2ATR move which made me a little hesitant.
But the biggest movers are those who have already made big moves! We
don’t have an open of 0.8ATR and then trend towards 2.8ATR. I want to work
on a system to grade the setups next time.
4) Structuring the trade.
Didn’t do a proper job here. Wasn’t completely sure why this was a
trade2hold. The setup, elevated volume and intraday price action were
strong.
5) Rate the trade pattern.
I went through the variables in my head which is enough for the wedge
pattern. It’s an easy pattern to spot.
Potential to go higher/lower DFS
Holding above/below key level? Yes
Strong/weak market (bigger picture)? Medium
Strong/ weak market intraday? Yes
Strong/weak fundamental catalyst? Yes

8. Wedge/ Trend PB Bullish Trade2hold – Trade
Management
Trade2hold - Flat
Significant 5m close below 20 EMA:
1) close on above average selling
volume;
2) a new 5m low that occurs after
close;
Goal: don’t sell more than 50%
when going flat.
Reason2hold
-Shallow volume and making lower
highs. Sometimes the trend is still
intact when there’s a significant
close above the 5m 20EMA.
Trade2hold – Core Exit strategy
Hold core, at least 50% of
position, until there’s a true
reason2sell.
When price hits you’re
measured move target, hold
your core until there is a true
reason2sell. Trail up your stop
along 5m 9EMA.
Wedge Entries
Tier 1 at the first lows.
Tier 2 at the second and higher low.
Tier 3 & 4 as the stocks breaks out.
Trend PB
When price bounces of the 5m 9 or 20
EMA, enter within 25% of the range.
Reasons2sell
-Significant selling volume on 5m.
-Unable to make a new high on low
volume. Double top.
-Time. It’s almost closing time (15:45) and
we are near HOD. Good to take some
profit.
9. Technical
Analysis:
Wedge pattern
Break through OR High.
Wedge visible on multiple
time frames.
Low volume in consolidation.
Elevated volume when price
breaks out of wedge.
Pattern with higher lows and
lower highs. Tight pattern!
Holds above premarket/
opening range high.
10. Technical
Analysis:
(HTF) Trend PB
10m holds above 9EMA,
5m holds above 20 EMA.
Shallow volume during PB
Pullback visible on multiple time
frames: 1m, 5m, 10m.
Bounce of key level: 108
Elevated volume when PB
starts to work.
11. Trade management
Entry:
I got in after the second low at a 33%
entry. I got in too large due to a mistake,
therefore I didn’t add. It would have
been possible to get a better entry if I
had been more prepared calling the 2nd
low.
Exit:
Stop was at the low of the wedge, 1 cent
below it. But I changed it later for no
reason and got to break even. Not
according with my trading plan. I did
that because there was an increased 1m
volume bar that failed. I was anticipating
the breakout here. But it wasn’t the true
break out. Therefore, I can’t move my
stop yet. I didn’t add so I should hold on
to my core with the original stop.
Break even: 0R
12. What was the optimal trade management strategy, in order to
minimize risk when wrong or maximize gain when right? How does
that compare to your trade management strategy? What signals (if
any) did the market provide for moving the stop to breakeven, or
beyond?
Optimal strategy I want to work on is to add one tier on the first low,
one tier on the second and enter tier 3 and 4 on the breakout.
I ruined this strategy by getting in too big.
What was the optimal exit location or locations, in order to minimize
risk when wrong or maximize gain when right? How does this compare
to your exit location? What signals (if any) did the market provide to
identify this ideal exit location?
My trade2hold target was 2ATR. But then there was no reaso2sell when
we hit that price target: price trended along the 9EMA all the way.
I should focus more on the reasons2sell then
13. What could I have done
better?
• I looked at DFS and thought, this is up too much. This is a biased
mindset that leads to underperformance. I don’t know have any
data that supports this claim. I know that the intraday price action
is extremely strong, and price is trending. Even when price is up
2,64ATR, there were still 2 or 3 opportunities to get in for a trend
PB. After I got stopped out on my wedge trade there also was a
great opportunity to get long.
I should accept that I don’t know how much it will trend higher. I
should just be dumb and follow the price action.
• I don’t have to worry about price trending all day or not. I should
focus on taking playbook trades and follow that trend. I should
focus at getting great entries. I should accept that I don’t know
what’s going to happen and that I also have a lot of work to do on
my exits criteria/system. And that’s okay. But if I am not getting in
good trades then I don’t have a proper opportunity to learn.
