CORE LESSONS
What to understand before you risk capital.
A framework for finding unusual participation, waiting for a defined trigger, and exiting when the reason for the trade changes.
Relative volume
Volume relative to normal activity separates real attention from random movement.
Location
A strong stock can still be a bad trade if entry is far from support.
Continuation
Momentum needs follow-through; failed continuation is information.
Exits
Momentum can fade quickly, so partials and trailing rules should be planned.
Market temperature
Hot cycles reward aggression; cold cycles punish chasing.
SETUP EXAMPLES
More chart examples to study.
This second visual group sits deeper in the guide so the page teaches progressively instead of dropping every image in one place.

CASE STUDIES
Use these examples for review practice.

COMMON MISTAKES
What usually hurts new traders.
- Buying extended moves.
- Ignoring halts and spread expansion.
- Holding after failed breakout.
- Believing every runner will continue.
PRACTICE DRILL
Turn the lesson into skill.
Tag each momentum trade as breakout, pullback, or continuation so you can see which you trade best.
Important: education should improve preparation and risk awareness, but it does not remove market risk or guarantee profit.
Trading involves risk, including the loss of capital. Use these materials for education, verify important information independently, and make decisions that fit your own circumstances.
