Jared’s Tips
- Trading familiar stocks: “I find it much easier to trade stuff you’re familiar with how they move. So you don’t get caught off guard nearly as much. It’s already so difficult. And you just want to be the best version of you when you’re trading.”
- What contributed to the high win rate: “I think I had a pretty good read on what the market was going to do. On the day that a lot of that profit came from, I really felt that the market was going to squeeze and continue to squeeze for the rest of that day. So I felt very comfortable holding my long, longer than I normally would.”
- VWAP retest strategy: “I like to see a long retest VWAP and come back up, and I feel a lot better about a breakout on the second attempt once it’s already retested the lows, put in support, and I find that a good entry after that pullback. Same with breakdowns—I like to see it come down to the low of the day, and normally if it’s under VWAP, I’ll feel good about that short.”
