Other Traders (Quick Notes)¶
Zanger's Golden Rules¶
Gap & ORB Rules¶
- If big move prev day, check 15/30m ORB to see if holding
- Never chase gap up/down > 2-4% unless coming out of large base
- Use 15m ORB on stocks > 5%
Zanger Philosophy
"Stocks are only good when they are going up."
Ben of Verified Investing¶
RSI Rubber Band Effect
Having too low RSI under say 30-40 entire day on a stock getting hammered also sometimes acts like a rubber band and may push up for small 3-4% push-ups.
Richard Moglen¶
Uses something called Relative Measured Volatility... and also has a relative strength indicator (I think it's close to my 50 NRSI with 20 day signal line).

TradingEdge Guy¶
Tradingedge guy is really good at picking stock names. I made good money by entering his stocks like HOOD and telling myself to stay long like position trade.
Should probably subscribe back to him after a few months.
Amit (amitisinvesting)¶
Why Simple Works
Amit is investing will be successful because: he says after making a lot of money in HOOD and PLTR now he wants to add another stock i.e. AMZN to dip buying strategy because it hasn't moved much this year and is probably safe to bet on MAG7 and rotate some profits into it.
He is not doing anything special; he is not trying to prove to his own insecurity inside that he is smart by counter trade trending. He did very basic dip buying and now he is making a safe move.
He is not that smart and that's why he will make it in stock market.
Common Themes¶
What all these traders share:
- Defined risk - Know your stop before entry
- Cut losers fast - Don't let small losses become big
- Let winners run - But take partials
- Trade what you know - Familiar setups and stocks
- Context matters - Market environment affects everything
- Probability thinking - Nothing is 100%
Everyone Uses Indicators¶
The Hidden Truth
I am pretty sure every major trader or even minor firm has some kind of indicator or confluence of indicators or algo which flashes buy or sell at multiple time frames.
All these service guys or Matt act like they just stare at charts and take decisions. Perhaps they do but...
