David S.

David trades with a “large-cap gap and go” strategy, zeroing in on the day’s top gainers fueled by earnings beats or breaking press releases. Using Webull’s screener, he hunts for high-potential setups and jumps in on intraday pullbacks above VWAP, leveraging daily breakout levels. His goal? Snagging extra 2-5% trending moves on a 1-minute chart.

When markets turn choppy, David pivots to quick scalp trades, focusing on boosting win rates while staying disciplined with tight risk-reward ratios.

His strategy focuses on identifying strong catalysts, such as earnings reports, press releases, or merger announcements. David adapts to market conditions, unfazed by major market crashes like in 2020, knowing that fresh daily opportunities are always around the corner.

Tip 1

Looking for catalysts

I look for the top gainers on the day, filtering for large-cap stocks. I’m looking for stocks with catalysts—earnings, press releases, mergers, contract wins. Once I understand the catalyst, I dive in and search for a setup, exploring various setups

Tip 2

Room for improvement

I can improve a lot by focusing on higher probability setups. Over the course of evaluating my trading career, I've noticed a lot of reversals, particularly in uncertain markets. Holding positions for the entire day might not support long-term sustainability. So I've shifted to shorter-term trades.
