Follow the white dots...trading can be, and should be, as simple as this!
Learn more this Thursday night during my free webinar, where I'll be walking you through the entire Big 3 Squeeze system for finding nothing but A+ setups ✅
After many years of being in the game (a lot of those years spent struggling) here’s what I’ve found to be the best swing trading setup 📈 This is all I focus on trading, and I really believe you can build a trading career around this 👇🏽
Not a bad week! We closed our $GOOGL + $CAT put credit spreads in the Simpler options room for 75%+ of max profit on each, along with the $NDX iron condor we held over the weekend.
Now, wish me luck as I'll be proposing to my gf tomorrow 😬💍 👀
*Small account update*
Started small account with $2,500 on 5/17 in which I trade nothing but Big 3 squeeze setups.
Just shy of $25k in profits @ today's close.
+993% on starting balance (have wired out about $6k)
Will have a video out on this soon
Today started with a trip to emergency room. All is good 🤞🏽, but a good wakeup call nonetheless.
Prioritizing health moving forward. Wanna be a dad soon, and I’ve got a lot of big goals to accomplish. Easy enough to take your health for granted til you get a good scare! 🙏🏽📈
In an effort to reach your trading goals this year, consider setting goals for things outside of market-hours that impact performance. For example:
- get better sleep 💤
- drink more water 💧
- exercise more 💪🏽
- less time on social media, more time reading/journaling 📖
Question: if I started documenting these setups in an organized fashion that I could share online, is that something that would interest any of you? Perhaps a google doc that I could update/share once per week? 🤔
Archive your A+ setups (even if you didn't trade them)
$ES_F from earlier this morning:
- at the same time, the 15m, 5m, 3m, and 2m timeframes printed squeezes + buy signals on the B3 indicator, with each timeframe trading > it's ATR trailing-stop
A+ intraday setup...📈✅
🟠SETUP CRITERIA🟠
✅ a strict focus on mid/large cap stocks in clean ups trends
✅ stock must be in a weekly, 3 day, or daily squeeze (the more the better 🚀)
✅ stock must be trading just above its 21 period EMA
✅ the EMA’s must be stacked positively
My options trading career got started by learning from the traders on the Simpler team many years ago.
Talk about full-circle! 🙌🏼 Couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this team 📈
🔥 We're excited to welcome Taylor (
@FTMAlerts
) and Chandler Horton of
@FocusedTrades
to our Simpler Trading community. They will be sharing their expertise in our Options Live Trading room, and we look forward to having them as part of our team! 🔥
Started a small account with $2,500 on 5/17/ in which I trade nothing but B3 squeeze setups.
Just about $15k of profits so far. Aggressive position-size + squeezes + tight stops.
Some stats so far:
Avg gain on winning names = +$1,368
Avg loss on losing names = -$308
Chinese night at grandmas ❤️ very grateful to be in my early 30s and still have her around.
Don’t get so lost in the sauce that you don’t make time for the important people in your life. Those charts aren’t going anywhere
As traders (not investors) just remember that we really shouldn’t give a shit which direction the market is trending… Too much “fear”/emotion amongst traders when things get bearish. It’s our job to get & stay on the right side of the market with no bias, plain & simple 📈📉
Newer traders 👇🏽👂
if you can keep your head above water during a week like this, you have a successful trading career ahead of you. If you take significant pain during weeks like this, you’re just a few changes in mindset & execution away from being well on your way 🎢
This book can change your trading forever. I’ve learned I need to listen to it on a very frequent basis.
The more I listen the more I understand why we sometimes do the f’d up things we do as traders. If you’re ready to “expose your emotional weaknesses” give it a listen
Starting a personal account challenge (will also do something in Mastery soon) for myself next week to end the year 🏁📈
Goal = $30k to $100k+ in 14 weeks
Will require about 10% return per week. I'll document along the way on my YouTube Channel
Florida friends, I’ll be in Orlando for the Money Show this June to discuss building a trading career around the squeeze setup 🚀 (also my first time speaking publicly so that should be interesting 😂)
Good morning, traders ☀️
If this post gets 20+ likes I’ll do a live pre-market stream this morning 📈
Off to the gym 🫡 ( $CL_F nice daily squeeze 👀)
$SPX $QQQ $NVDA $SMCI $MSFT $META $AMZN
When a momentum stock in a strong uptrend “pauses” and squeezes on a major time frame, holding above its 21ema with a positive histogram, this is one of the highest-probability long setups you can trade. If a setup doesn’t fit this criteria, I completely ignore it! That simple.
Looking for some feedback 👇
How many of you would be interested in a 25 trade challenge?
- 25 trades in a row, NOTHING but A+ setups on the Big 3
- a combination of swing trades, day trades, and futures trades
- using the B3 squeeze radar to find the opportunities
🤔
$WFC took the profits here this morning ✅
Two solid base-hits this week out of A+ squeezes:
1) first trade taken in A+ hourly squeeze
2) second trade taken in A+ 4hour squeeze
Rinse + repeat
#B3
$COIN ✅
Off the mic this week, but got the room into $COIN yesterday off the 4hour A+ setup. Sold this morning for +50%
Plenty of room for higher, but it’s my wife’s bday and we’re hitting the road now 🚗
30 minutes before market close: man, I can’t wait to detach for a few days 😅
30 minutes after close: man, I can’t wait for Monday 😅
Have a good weekend, everyone 📈
For better or worse, always take your daily notes, recapping the good + bad from the days session
Need to tighten things up a bit and stop thinking 🧠
(if you find notes like this helpful, let me know in the comments and I'll start posting them daily)
$SPX $QQQ
I can remember trying to upload my first

video and having no idea wth I was doing 😂
Appreciate everyone who takes the time out of their day to watch the videos ✊🏽📈
Pops reading a stock market publication with me on his lap @ 8 months old. Very grateful for the journey the market has brought me on since.
The irony is, 28 years later, I wouldn’t trade this picture for any amount of money in the world ❤️
$GOOGL looks like it could be setting up for a big move sometime soon
Squeezes printing on the 2day, daily, 4hour, 2hour, 1hour, 30minute, 15minute, 5 minute timeframes.
A+ setups on the 2day, 15minute, 5 minute.
Call wall @ $180. Through that, it could really heat-up
$GOOGL A+ weekly squeeze setup. So long as the buy signal prints, looking for $150+.
I like cheap OTM call debit spreads for Feb-March expiration.
#b3squeeze
$GOOGL $SPX $QQQ
My entire prep process took about 15 minutes this weekend ⏰
I'm used to spending a few hours running scans, going timeframe-to-timeframe through different charts, looking for A+ setups.
Now I just look at a few different watchlists, and the columns do the work for me ✅
$CRWD we picked up some April expiration OTM calls here this afternoon in my room:
3-day, 2-day, daily, 4hour, 2hour, 1hour squeezes printing. Targeting a move into the $350 level
$SPX $QQQ $CRWD
Going to narrow this list down a bit, but here's some of the daily squeezes that caught my eye in the scans this morning:
- $GOOGL
- $AMAT
- $LRCX
- $MSFT
- $AMZN
- $RBLX
- $DE
- $MDT
- $ADI
- $VRTX
- $SHOP
- $HCA
- $SNOW
- $GD
- $BIDU
- $LULU
- $AZO
- $CRWD
- $ZM
- $XLV
- $CHWY
Good morning ☀️📈
Weekend prep work has begun ✅ $AMZN slingshot squeeze looking solid into next week 👀
I’ll post my full watchlist here later this weekend

After reviewing my stats over the last 5+ years, it’s very (very) clear that my best swing trading/most money made is in a select few names:
- $AAPL, $AMZN, $TSLA, $NVDA, $MSFT, $GOOGL, $AMD, $META, $NFLX, $SPX, $QQQ
Everything else? A wash at best.
Narrow the focus

Fun fact: $GOOGL has been in a squeeze on the 4 hour time frame since February 17 lol. Once this squeeze fires (long or short), we could see a really nice move.
(holding 4/16 put credit spreads personally)
“Has anything changed?”
Such an important question to ask when swing trading. Take $AMD for example: jumped into put credit spreads yest, today it gaps down on goofy news. Ideal? No. Has anything changed about the bullish structure of the weekly squeeze? NO! So we hang tight😁
This update I'm working on for the B3 squeeze system is the best so far, and it's not even close 🙏
Tightened-up requirements for an A+ setup, ensuring we focus on nothing but the absolute cleanest setups. New "Trend" + "Momentum" labels, along with the A+ watchlist columns.
The journey to a 315 bench continues 😅
- paused singles this morning @ 275.
Lockout-strength is 🗑️ and my CNS feels fried. Lots to improve upon (better sleep and not eating like 💩 would likely help, too)
$NVDA daily momentum histogram on the B3 squeeze finally crossing above the 0-line today. Time for a push towards $950?
A+ squeezes on the 2h, 1h, 30m here
$SPX $QQQ $NVDA
Christmas gift to myself; a piece of the court that MJ & the Bulls played on from ‘95-‘98, during their second 3-peat 🏆🏆🏆 The sweat of legends is engrained in this chunk of wood 🐑
Put together a B3 Score spreadsheet for the traders in my room to see the "total score" across 8 different time-frames.
+80 is best overall score for bulls, with -80 being best overall score for bears (would not have guessed $BKNG is top-dog lol)
Enjoy! I'll update this daily
Our STATurday post is on $AVGO (and its chop fest). Sold a put credit spread in July and 30 days later the stock has barely moved.
🔑 Lesson: Think in probabilities. If we can catch $0 of direction and still walk away with 70% max profit, we still win.
$AMZN has A+ squeeze dots on the weekly + 4hour, with B3 buy signals across all timeframes heading into this week
Needs $190+ on a close. From there, weekly squeeze target is $200+
Next Wednesday my (younger) brother
@FocusedChan
is hosting a free webinar to discuss his approach to day trading options 🚀🚀 I wanna see y’all there! 👇🏽
Closed out a solid trade in $NOW this morning in the mastery group 🚀 Trend + structure + momentum.
- green 10x bars & positively stacked EMA’s on weekly + daily
- daily squeeze
- entry at the 21EMA
- exit @ 2+ ATR (bought back our spread for a quick 50% of max profit)
Goal for May = trade NOTHING but A+ setups. Less trades, more size ✅
Documenting every single trade I take, and will share the document at the end of the month.
When I first launched the B3 sqz last year, I ran $2k into $25k in less than 2 months with this laser-focus
$GOOGL expected move into Jan expiration is $9. However, weekly squeeze can trigger a much bigger than expected move.
IF weekly squeeze fires ahead of Jan expiration, the $145C (currently $0.50) could end up ATM/ITM. I like the idea of throwing 1-2% of account at these calls
@simplertrading
Focus on small, consistent weekly/monthly compounding. It may not feel exciting at first, but it will lead to great things. Not just compounding of the account balance, but compounding of your skill set!
Best Loser Wins ✅
This is one of my top 3-5 trading books/audiobooks of all time (and I’ve read them all)
Going to make this required-reading for the traders in my room 📕

studied game-film religiously, looking for an edge.
Why aren’t you doing the same with your trading? Make it a goal to record/review the film of your trades on A+ setups this year. Review, rinse, repeat 💰📈
