Today in Focus: Patience & Study

Trading Services I Use in my Trading:

StockAnalysis.com - I’ve been using Stock Analysis as an affordable but reliable method of looking at New and Upcoming IPOs, Earnings Calendars and most notably KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Stock Analysis allows you to view the KPIs for many companies with up to date metrics and segments that you can cross reference against Earnings Results. This is incredibly important when understanding what metrics move a stock. At $65 per year it’s a no brainer. They’ve given me a discount code if you use IRISHBORNINVESTOR they will give you another 10% Off.

Situational Awareness

Market Condition: Extended, Market starting to range out.

Commentary: I don’t see anything today apart from incremental news on various stocks. Market is still in short term froth mode and looks like it wants to chop around for a while. Selectivity is extra important now. Less is more.

I’m going to use today to continue a study I’m doing on Parabolic Shorts.

The only value I will add today is to share this great journey and boom and bust lessons that a catalyst trader posted on X. Here is the direct link to Google Doc - Link

Well worth a read.

Note: This is my methodology for identifying stocks in play. There are many valid approaches to trading catalysts—find the setups, timeframes, and risk parameters that align with your strategy.
