Welcome to season 4, episode 7 of the Stock Trading for Beginners Podcast!

After wrapping up eight weeks of live training inside the first Momentum Trading Alliance mentorship, one theme kept coming up—not what strategy to use, but how to trade it. Members weren’t confused about entries; they were unsure about exits, profit-taking, patience, and activity level. That’s where the idea of Trading Avatars was born.

In this episode, we break down how the same momentum strategy can be expressed in different ways depending on your schedule, risk tolerance, and personality—and why clarity around your trading identity is the key to consistency and stress-free execution.

Key Topics:

Why Strategy Isn’t the Problem

Most traders struggle not because they lack a strategy, but because they don’t know how to execute it consistently. Mixing styles—buying like an investor and selling like a day trader—leads to emotional decisions and broken rules.

What Is a Trading Avatar?

A trading avatar is your trading identity. It defines how often you trade, which timeframes matter, how you manage risk, and when you take profits—so decisions are made before the trade, not in the moment.

The Four Trading Avatars Explained

• The Active Trader: Frequent trades, quicker exits, profits taken at resistance
• The Swing Trader: Weekly structure, partial profits, balanced activity (best fit for most traders)
• The Momentum Trader: Fewer trades, bigger moves, holds through pullbacks
• The Long-Term Investor: Monthly/weekly focus, low stress, long-term positioning

Why Alignment Beats Discipline

Two traders can take the same setup and manage it differently—both correctly. The difference isn’t skill, it’s alignment. Avatars don’t make you trade better; they help you trade consistently.

Takeaways

If trading feels stressful or you’re constantly second-guessing exits, the issue may not be your strategy—it may be that you haven’t chosen the right trading avatar yet. Once your avatar is defined, execution becomes mechanical, emotions fade, and consistency improves.

Welcome to season 4, episode 6 of the Stock Trading for Beginners Podcast!

When I first started trading, charts felt random and frustrating—until I learned the breakout backtest strategy. It transformed my portfolio, and now beginners in our group are spotting consistent setups in weeks. Building on last episode's "buy at support, sell at resistance" framework, here we discuss the precise entry points for low-risk trades in bullish stocks. Listen for a simple, patient approach that minimizes stress and maximizes wins.

Key Topics:

Step 1: Spot Proven Winners and Build Your Watchlist

Focus on bullish stocks in uptrends for low-risk trades—nothing rises straight up, so capitalize on natural rhythms. Diversify with speculative trend-changers if your risk tolerance allows, but beginners should stick to strong performers. Use AI like Grok or ChatGPT to generate 30-50 bullish stock ideas (e.g., heading into 2026). Or grab our free list in the Skool group. Confirm uptrends on TradingView's weekly chart: Look for higher highs/lows (market structure) and Ichimoku Cloud (above lines with green future cloud = bullish). Example: Coinbase post-April 2025 shows bullish engulfing candles and volatility but upward trend; avoid pre-2025 bearish phases with lower highs/lows.

Step 2: Wait for the Pullback

Patience is key—don't chase breakouts or buy at resistance, a common beginner mistake leading to panic sells. Overextended stocks reverse sharply; recent October 2025 red days (5-20% drops) follow massive prior gains (50-100%). Identify resistance (prior highs, indicators) and let price come to you. Pullbacks are healthy for momentum—buyers step in at support, positioning you for the next leg up.

Step 3: Enter at Support Zones

When pullbacks hit support with confluence (multiple indicators aligning), that's your low-risk entry. Use Ichimoku Cloud, Fibonacci, Gann Squares, or flipped resistance. Don't fear red days—they're buying opportunities. In volatile markets like November 2025, enter cautiously to avoid deeper retracements. This yields high win rates, low stress, and high rewards as bullish stocks resume uptrends.

Takeaways

Don't chase—build a watchlist, confirm trends, wait for pullbacks, and enter at support for conviction and gains. This strategy boosted my portfolio this year and helps our community trade flexibly without constant monitoring. Start with a few stocks to build skills.

Welcome to season 4, episode 5 of the Stock Trading for Beginners Podcast!

When I first started trading, I felt totally overwhelmed staring at price charts without knowing when to enter. Then I discovered a one-rule strategy that changed everything: only buy at support. After six months of trading real money, my portfolio jumped 144%, and I only spent minimal time scanning charts. In this episode, I break down this simple, stress-free approach that delivers real results—no fancy setups required.

Building a Watchlist of Bullish Stocks

I start by explaining how to spot bullish stocks without needing screeners or scanners. Use AI tools like Grok or ChatGPT to generate a list of 30-50 stocks in trending sectors (e.g., Palantir, Tesla, Amazon). Plug them into TradingView, check for higher highs and higher lows on the weekly timeframe, and use the Ichimoku Cloud for a quick bullish/bearish confirmation—above the cloud with a green future cloud means it's a keeper.

Learning from Past Mistakes with Market Structure

I share my own story with Tesla: It hit an all-time high around $414.50 in late 2021, then shifted to bearish lower highs and lows, dropping to $100 by January 2023. I held through massive unrealized losses because I ignored technicals and focused only on fundamentals. Fast-forward to now in late 2025, and Tesla's showing positive structure, building a base above that old $414.50 resistance—proving why bullish market structure keeps you on the winning side.

Identifying Support Zones for Safe Entries

Once you've confirmed a bullish trend, I dive into finding support zones where buyers step in and prices are likely to hold. Use historical price data (like old resistance turning into support), plus tools like the Ichimoku Cloud, Fibonacci retracements, and Gann squares. Don't fear pullbacks in bull markets—they're prime buying opportunities for better risk-reward. I emphasize accumulating shares here to keep things low-stress.

Taking Profits at Resistance (or Holding for Momentum)

Finally, I cover when to sell: at resistance zones identified the same way as support—historical levels and indicators. If you like trading in and out, lock in gains here to avoid mistakes. Personally, I prefer holding through volatility in bullish stocks to ride the momentum, but either way, never buy at resistance.

Takeaways

This boils down to one rule: only buy at support in bullish stocks—it's shockingly simple but tough with emotions in play. I've seen great results personally, and beginners in our group are up and running with positive gains in weeks. Trading doesn't have to be overwhelming; this strategy proves it.
