It’s been a crazy week in the markets. With earnings season, there are dozens of stock gapping up and down on high relative volume. It is a momentum trader’s dream. Here is a trading recap of some of the day trades I took and some of the swing trades Paul took:
TSLA, TAL, and ALGN were all similar setups: Earnings breakdown short plays. All 3 had gapped down in response to negative earnings reports, and all 3 of them gave setups at the open for entries. TAL and ALGN offered great ORB (opening range breakdowns) setups at the open to offer, low-risk high reward entries. On TSLA my trigger was the break of pre-market market lows. My exit strategy on all of them was to scale out and cover on dips.
OSTK was a tough trader this week, and I ended up taking a few small losses on it. It’s always a choppy one, it never trends clean from breakouts or breakdowns. If you’re new, I’d recommend avoiding trading it altogether. Here is an video breakdown my trading week and my trades in more detail:

Some of Paul’s Trades
Paul had a ton of great trades throughout the week. Had great timing with NFLX on the earnings gap down reversal. A nice exit in SOXL, and some great entries in ZM and FAS. He had a scratch trade-in BRZU as well, which didn’t end up having any follow-through. Here is a trade recap of Paul’s NFLX trade-in cased you missed it. A lot of momo names offering great swing opportunities this month, and we have been capitalizing!
