How to Use Intraday Volatility for Swing Trades
We’ll discuss a simple 4 step process that you can use to take advantage of intraday volatility for swing trades.
2 Volatility Setups to Trade Futures
2 different setups to take advantage of and profit from volatility, using the Volatility Box.
Squeeze Setup in DLTR and Trade Update in AFL
We’ll setup a new squeeze trade in Dollar Tree (DLTR) which has won 4 out of 4 times, over the past 5 years.
Visa (V) vs. Mastercard (MA) – Which Looks Stronger?
With today’s selloff in Visa and Mastercard, we’ll take a look at both charts with a longer term perspective in mind, for trade opportunities.
In terms of pure price movement moves, Mastercard was down 5.60% today, while Visa was down 3.58%. If we layer on a component of volatility, Mastercard was clearly the more volatile stock today.
We broke through both our Aggressive and Conservative Volatility Box models, suggesting that the sellers have full control in Mastercard. On the opposite side,
Bullish Squeeze Trade in Aflac (87.5% Winner Over the Past 5 Yrs)
There’s a bullish squeeze trade pattern setting up in Aflac (AFL) that has won 7 out of the past 8 times it has triggered (looking at a 5-yr period).
How to Use Fibonacci Extensions and Volatility Ranges for Trade Targets
Video Transcription Today’s video is all about how you can easily use the Fibonacci extensions tool along with our Volatility Box to get high probability target zones from which you expect price action to start to reverse. Now for today’s example, we’re going to be focusing on Canadian Solar (CSIQ) and the reason why I’m…
Squeeze Trade Setup in MSFT That Hasn’t Lost in 5 Years
We’ll discuss a squeeze setup on Microsoft that has triggered 10 times in the last 5 years, and has been a winner all 10 of those times.
Building a Watchlist of Weekly Time Frame Squeezes
In today’s video, we’ll use the new Slingshot Squeeze scan and backtester to find profitable weekly time squeeze candidates.
Bullish Daily Squeeze Setting Up on NVDA
In today’s video, we’ll use the new Slingshot Squeeze scan and backtester to
backtest a squeeze in NVDA.
With the backtester, we see that we’ve had 8 bullish squeezes in NVDA, over the past 5 years. With the 8 bullish squeezes, 7 of those have been winners, and 1 was a loser (albeit, a fairly painful loser).
On average, we see that each of the squeeze moves have led to anywhere from a 6-8% move in NVDA from the point of entry. From our current price of $542.33, that takes us to right around
Turning a Watchlist into Volatility Trade Alerts
In this video, I’m going to show you how you can get one step closer to automating your trading process.
In our newest feature of the Stock Volatility Box platform, you can create a watchlist of stocks – these might be stocks in your portfolio, on your radar, or simply just stocks that you like to trade – and let the machine do the rest of the work.
Today, we’ll be using the output of our Bullish Squeeze Signal scan, as our watchlist. Once we copy/paste in our symbol list into the “My Watchlis

3 Stock Volatility Trades – DE, SPCE and NVCR
We had 38 stocks that hit our Live Scanner today between the hours of 6:30am – 10am PT (and stayed on for 3+ minutes).
We’ll break down the 38 trades, using a few different lenses:
1. Time in Trade
2. Hour of Trade
3. Type of Model
With today’s stock VB results, we found the sweet spot to be the 5-15 minute zone, with all hours outside of 8-9am PT being positive.
After a higher level overview, we’ll take a look at 3 specific examples:
1. Deere (DE) – Conservative Long; Coming off an earni
Swing Trade in DDOG and Day Trades in S&P 500
We’ll discuss a swing trade setup in DataDog (DDOG), along with breaking down some of the day trades in the S&P 500 (along with one setup for tomorrow).
Starting off with DDOG, we have a pullback on the weekly time frame chart to our bullish Market Pulse line. In addition, we also have a bullish Edge Signal (oversold) confirmation signal on the daily time frame chart.
Here’s the trade parameters for the extensions discussed in the video, along with 4 potential targets depending on how long y
TSLA, RTY and YM Trades
We’ll do a quick update to our TSLA Broken Wing Butterfly trade, along with discuss two futures trades in the Russell and DOW markets.
Starting off with the TSLA broken wing butterfly, we were looking for a pin near the $550 price point, and had built a 530/550/560 broken wing butterfly for $1.55. Today, that same butterfly is currently selling for ~$3.90.
To manage the trade, I’d be looking at a pullback here in TSLA, which would actually be healthy, and help erode some of the theta premium
TSLA Broken Wing Butterfly Trade Idea
With the news of Tesla (TSLA) being added to the S&P 500, we have a catalyst to support a bullish trade idea looking for a move to the 1.272% Fibonacci extension.
We have a squeeze that has been gaining momentum, leading to the idea that it will fire long. To play this move in a relatively “expensive” ticker, we’re going to build a broken wing butterfly.
The broken wing butterfly gives us 2 inherent benefits:
1. No upside risk
2. Reduced cost compared to owning the shares outright, or buyi
