"Breakdown of latest #smallcaps cold cycle that came around end of January and why it was possible to call it ahead: Every time smallcaps cycles are triggered by hot sectors (hot flows) or lack of hot sectors (cold flows). When plenty of hot sectors are in play in large caps like we had at end of December (metals software etc.) the smallcaps catch up on the momentum and we get large % movers in smallcaps. Strong risk-ON global market does that. When hot sectors are pulled away and go into bear trends like we had at end of January (software semiconductors metals #silver $NFLX $ORCL $PLTR $MU.)"

"HOD and LOD levels on charts are often liquidation levels. Don't think about them as resistances and supports but rather liquidation levels. That's where big chunk of stop losses for that asset on the day will sit. And if price comes near that level it's likely it will swipe through because MMs will hunt that liquidity (and "support" component gets removed since it gets breached too often in such case). LOD level is where the last line of defense in eyes of bulls is. So stops will be there often. HOD is where for short sellers last line of resistance might be so many stops will sit there."

"My go to dynamic strat I have been using for years in #trading #smallcaps: In strong market deploy strat for longing smallcaps. In weak market deploy strat for shorting. Strong/weak defined by recent performances of tickers. By seeking for longs mostly (little to no shorts) in strong markets you decrease chances of getting caught in black swan significantly. Yes you do also pass on some good faders as collateral damage but survival is more important over long run. "Why are you so long biased in strong cycles of SCs" That's one of reasons. It's preventive measure plus longing in strong cycles"

"One of the major reasons why I don't use Bookmap or some other level [--] tools is because the whole idea of looking at large offers or bids from and black-and-white perspective of resistance/support is completely misleading when component of "magnet" is dismissed. Beginners in #trading education are taught: If you see a large offer think of resistance. If you see large bid think of support. Thats oversimplification due to magnet effect not being accounted for. And that resistance/support in itself is one of the main selling points of many fancy order flow tools like Bookmap footprints deltas"

"Shorting HOD clearouts above pre market highs has been my go-to strat for #trading #smallcaps over years. I dont short under highs almost ever always above where most other shorts would be stopping out due to nature of how MMs trap those tickers. But with that said the strat has its major downside that it needs great read on "market flows" aka adjust on daily basis. For example there is a week or two when this pattern will perform great. And then there are two weeks after that where it wont. Where many tickers: A: Dont push to swipe HOD at all so you get left out of entry B: They swipe way"

"If you quit for [--] months recapitalize and come back you haven't done anything good. There was no experience or growth done meanwhile. You are stuck with same issue as before. If you are taking it seriously instead of quitting you size down to near nothing. And then keep going observing learning trading. And then recapitalize and size up after you have done some growth in between. But for many this is unacceptable because you are performing activity that has guaranteed no payout over those months. So they go for route number [--] in most cases which is near mathematically given a worse choice. So"

"#smallcaps market makers use one particular trick on high frequency: Display price action to be most aggressive around key HOD or LOD level. -Biggest squeeze candle into HOD clearout. -Biggest flush candle into LOD clearout. Especially if structure is consolidated for an hour or more when enough of retail liquidity came in after a while they will often run this trick. Flush aggressive into LOD so they shake out competitive demand. Squeeze aggressive into HOD so they shake out competitive shorts (if they want to dump the ticker). This trick is effective against traders who are OTM (red) on"

""How and why is ticker squeezing if nobody is short on it" Common misconception in #smallcaps #trading short selling communities. From upcoming article on manipulations. Common beginner short seller will stop out above HOD. Common beginner long will start longing into strength above HOD. If you put yourself accurately into their shoes youll understand how MMs can trigger Type1s squeezes on two different tickers with (1) ETB and low demand or (2) restricted-to-short but high in demand tickers. One of the most important concepts in SCs to roll with no doubt"

"The reason why I enjoy posting forward insights on tickers is because there are no hiding spots. People can see how good or bad your reads are over time. P/L and executions can be cherry picked I have seen it all. Also there is not much in it for me seeing other trader posting PL or executions as experienced trader. I do however still find value in insights or forward analysis from someone who gets it at least 50% plus right with decent RR. Posting forward analysis with good accuracy is actually harder than posting great trades executions or green PL days. Don't believe me try it out. For me"
