I swing trade momentum stocks and have averaged 100%+ returns for the past 6 years. All while trading ROUTINE: - I get to my computer at 3:30 pm EST, half an hour before the close - I start running my scans and see if there are any stocks that fit my strict criteria. - By 3:50 pm I already know if I have signals to take, - I move those symbols to TradingView to better manage my positions (I like the charting there) - enter trades in Interactive Brokers before 4pm, place my stops, BE alarms, and repeat the next day My whole process takes less than 30 min every day, and I take setups according to my system rules. --> SCANS: I run 3 separate scans, one BULLISH, BEARISH, and ETFs (TC2000 runs ETFs on a different list). Make sure to include ADRs with US Stocks on your equity scans. Here are the conditions (adapt for PCF): 1) price > $1 2) average dollar volume past 20 days: $20M 3) 8>20>50 EMAs 4) close >20 EMA 5) CML indicator = GREEN 6) close > yesterday's high 7) Sort results by ADR % Same for the BEARISH and ETF (on bear scans, I look for price> $6 As you see, scans are not the secret sauce to trade. What most people miss is that scanning is a process derived from your trading system rules!!! You first need to develop an edge, I developed my swing trading system after going through 6000 stocks over 3 decades, all market conditions, and derived hard rules to trade them (95% mechanical). Once you have your system in place, you naturally know what to scan for. Most people get it the other way around. System/EDGE first, scans second. Work on your edge, and you won't have to ask for a scan in your life 📈

Here is my full daily routine and scan process I follow. I swing trade stocks, and do all of my work in the last 30 min of the trading day. That's how I manage to average 100%+ returns/year with -10% max DD, entering my trades EOD. If you don't have a daily routine/process you adhere to, it will be almost impossible to make money swing trading stocks in the long term. I have the same routine and scanning process I followed for the past 6 years without fail. That's how you build consistency in your own trading and your setup/system/strategy. If you don't have a solid process you repeat every single day, you would be doing random stuff. Random stuff = losing money. Here is how my day goes: --> 3:30pm EST - I get to my laptop (yes, ditched the 5 monitors for a single laptop), - open up my software (TC2000, TradingView, and TWS) - And begin scanning on my long, short, and ETF scans on TradingView (see video attached for scan details and layout ✅) --> 3:50pm EST By this time, I: - already know which stocks are giving my signals according to my system, - I sort them in TradingView by ADR %, - And prioritize if I have more than 5 signals (that's my max limit per day) --> 3:58pm EST - Now I pre-loaded my orders on TWS, - check my position size to have a 1% risk per trade in all positions, - and execute just before the close --> 4:01pm EST - Markets are closed, so I add my Stop Loss and BE alarm - close my computer, and come back tomorrow in the last 30 minutes before the close and repeat... As you see, once you have your system and process in place, you can execute your system flawlessly, and that's what brings consistency and growth to your account over days, weeks, months, and years of doing the same thing over and over again... Build your process, and execute every day and you will grow with your system 📈

After many requests, here is my full stock scanning and daily process to swing trade momentum breakouts. I've been swing trading momentum stocks and averaged 100%+ returns per year, with $1 - Avg $ volume past 20 days is 20MM min - 8 >20>50 EMAs - Close above 20 EMA - Close > previous day high - CML indicator GREEN I just inverted these for shorts, and the same for ETFs long and short. My universe is US stocks + American depositary receipts. Once I get my scanning going, all I do is identify stocks breaking out according to my rules. I manually go through the scan results (shown in the video), identify potential setups, bring them onto TradingView, and decide if I want to enter. If you want to know more about my setup and how I swing trade momentum breakouts long and short to play with this scanning process, make sure to read my latest explanation in the tweet below. Once I identify with a manual review a setup that meets my criteria, I load it into TWS, make sure my position sizing is in check to risk 1% per trade from entry to stop, and enter. After 4:00 pm EST, the markets are closed, and I enter my stops and my BE alarms. That's it. I close my computer and come back the next day, and repeat the process, every day, every week, every month, every year. If you are NOT doing the same thing over and over in your process, you are doing random stuff. As you see, scanning is NOT the answer to a profitable strategy. Scanning is a process that derives directly from your EDGE. Not the other way around. Once you know what your edge is with extreme detail, you know how to find the stocks you want. Remember. Setup > Process > Scans. Everything starts with your EDGE 📈
