Good point, mean reversion setups are very frequently found in current markets, one of my favorite patterns.
Agree with OP points re hazards of cheap stocks. I trade stocks mainly in $15 - $40 range with >1million shares daily volume.
I prefer gap charts the best.
Yepdoh! Small 40sh spec earnings trade stopped out on gap down.. that's why I trade small, also did winning SQQQ overnight, bought into close sold into late morning pullback.... I take lots of small shots
Sry offtopic but re handguns I like my sig226 9mm alot more than my glock22 40cal. Like my Remington 12ga pump tactical. Miss my charter arms bulldog 44cal revolver.
Re tape reading it's best used at hod lod vs inside ranges--- Big tip there
from jesse livermore's 'reminisces of a stock operator' (I think), it's all about the 'patter of the tape' -- pure price action
i follow blocks, speed of how fast price moves, ratio of red/green transaction order flow etc
I did the industry's first tape reading seminar at Sheraton Anaheim in 2001.
Wrote the first modern article on it for Active Trader magazine
I have a popular course on it at www.tradingvideos.com
I feel fcking old lol

Bottomfishing SQQQ here for daytrading though I'll likely get stopped out, sl at 25.6, buy signal is pivot over whole number. Entered @ 26.12, next 26.22 26.44
Selling most SPXS if sl 6.04 hits
Mostly cash
Smart approach re pyramid and scaling.
Right now is a good example, I'm in inverses from last week SQQQ TZA etc. Goal is to scale in if they keep going up.
