Three years ago I published the Qullamaggie deep dive research bundle
@TheShortBear called it the best thing since Tim Grittanis work was shared
With the help of AI I've now made it into an interactive app

As for Qullamaggie.. 24%..
Everyone says let your breakout winners run..
Qullamaggie's breakout winners made 77% of their total gain in the first five days. 87% in the first 8.
And it slows down fast..
Days 1-5: 4.6% per day
After day 5: 0.8% per day
And that 0.8% comes from a few big winners..
The typical trade still open after day 5 actually gave back some gains..
Is it worth locking up buying power to eek out those last %?

He still made about $300,000 on it..
GME, one of Qullamaggie's best breakouts, came when the weekly chart was not trending up.
"Only buy when the weekly agrees" is one of the most repeated rules in trading.
17 of his 50 best breakouts came with the weekly not trending up.
Validate everything.

📢WEEKEND STUDY RESULTS ARE IN!
Qullamaggie's tightest stops had the fewest winners.
His tightest charts had the most.
Not really surprising. What surprised me was how clear the difference was, and how it affected the avg. R
Winrate based on how wide the stop was:
Tightest: 17% ended green. Widest: 28%.
Winrate based on how wide the 10 days before the buy were, high to low, compared with how much the stock usually moves in a day.
Tightest: 28% ended green. Loosest: 17%.
A loose chart with a tight stop: 9% ended green. A tight chart with a wide stop: 32%.
Resulting avg. R?
Tightest chart: +1.90R per trade
Widest chart: +0.67R per trade
No wonder @Qullamaggie says:
"Wide and loose is for losers, tight is for winners."
📝Study work this weekend: Qullamaggie's tightest stops had the fewest winners. Did his tightest charts?
WHY
"You want tightness before a breakout, not like loose action."
Earlier this week I split the breakout buys he showed on his streams into thirds by how far the stop was under the buy.
Selling on the first close under the 10-day moving average, the tightest third ended with 17% winners. The widest, 28%.
So the tight stop was the worst. This makes sense.
But how important is it to have a tight chart? According to Qullamaggie it's very important.
THE STUDY (2 to 3 hours)
1. Open 30 breakout entries in date order. Not the pretty ones - there are many, trust me.
2. Scroll the chart so the day before the buy is the last candle. Look only at the 10 days up to it. Write down the highest high and the lowest low.
3. Turn that into a range in %, then divide it by the stock's ADR (its average daily range over the 20 days before).
4. Sort the 30 by that number and split them in three: tight, middle, loose. Then scroll forward to the exits and mark the winners.
5. Count the winners in each third. Then look at his stop on each one: were the tight charts also the tight stops?
WHAT I'M AFTER
Two win rates: the tightest third and the loosest. If a tight chart works like a tight stop, the tight charts should come out worst again.
If you want to change your life with trading, you have to stay away from groupthink.
It's not intelect. It's not discipline. It's not emotional robustness.
It's your ability to think for yourself.
Militia Capital's founder David Orr (@orrdavid) on the PM trait that signals groupthink:
"If a guy is looking for outside affirmation, like he's looking for someone to tell him that, oh yeah, what you're doing is the right thing, that's a kind of tell of groupthink."
"And people who do this tend to not perform well."
"In hindsight with my mentor, now I can tell he was testing me. He'd try to push back in these ways that were very rigid. Like, no, this is wrong. You can't do this this way."
"And I was just always thinking, I'm going to do it my way. I don't really care what you think, when I was sure."
"He's saying that nobody has been able to do it the way I've done it, for example. But that doesn't mean it's wrong. You gotta ask, well, why has nobody done it?"

Qullamaggie says you can't manage your emotions in trading.
"I think people who think you should manage your emotions, I think they're full of shit."

This week alone I've tested 9 of fintwits' finest traders' rules on real trades.
@ShakePryzby1, half off at +4R: fewer round trips, lower average
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21122287…
@jfsrev, three stops: less drawdown, less profit
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21125793…
@RossHaber, 2nd close under the 20-day: longer holds, nothing extra
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21128714…
@Wordsofrizdom, weekly trend: didn't help
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21129249…
@ohiain, breakeven at +3R: a wash
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21130355…
@TMLitalia, no buys with T2108 under 30: held up
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21125237…
@PradeepBonde, skip 20%+ run-ups into earnings: held up
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21133000…
@InvestorsLive, wait 15 min on parabolic shorts: under half the stop-outs
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21135922…
@RealSimpleAriel, don't chase the open: right, except the biggest winner
xitter.cf/Muninn/status/21129938…
Verify everything.
In the next update of app.qullamaggiedeepdive.com I will be introducing a new research-desk. Cant' wait to share.
Always study. Always look for edge.
@jfsrev has so many brilliant ideas and adaptions.
It's not only about bagging those big winners, but also about cutting our losses (smaller).
Jeff says that "If your win rate is below 40%, your top priority should be reducing your losses further."
I tested it on Qullamaggie's breakout trades. It reduces the drawdown by almost a third, but gives up some profits..
88% of Qullamaggie's breakout buys were above the 30-week average.
@NickSchmidt says one thing he learned from Stan Weinstein "is you never buy a stock under the 30-week."
The ones bought under it: 19% winners, against 25% above.
Something I learned from Stan Weinstein is you never buy a stock under the 30-week.
A stock below the 30-week is dangerous.
All of memory is now below the 30-week besides $MU, which will not be able to diverge from its group for long.
