With SPY approaching new all-time highs, several important market signals are starting to improve, creating a potentially bullish setup for stocks.The first piece of the puzzle is the 10/20/50 EMA Trend Template. SPY currently has the 10 EMA above the 20 EMA with price above the 50 EMA, showing a bullish trend direction. This doesn't predict how long the trend will last or how far it can run, but it gives us the direction we want to see.Market breadth is also starting to turn higher after months of deterioration. OVTLYR breadth measures bullish versus bearish momentum signals, and the recent improvement suggests more stocks may finally be participating in the move instead of the S&P 500 relying on just a handful of mega-cap stocks.That's where RSP vs. SPY becomes important. SPY is market-cap weighted while RSP is equal weighted. When RSP begins strengthening, it can signal broader participation and less concentration risk. RSP had been falling sharply, but it is now showing a potential turnaround.We also look at MMFI, MMT, stocks making new highs, the put-call ratio, Treasury yields, and sector rotation to determine whether the bullish case is strengthening.Technology has dominated the market, but we're beginning to see potential rotation into other sectors, including consumer discretionary. Amazon, Tesla, Home Depot, McDonald's, TJ Maxx, and Starbucks are among the names showing strength. At the same time, defensive sectors such as staples and utilities remain an important warning sign to watch.Finally, I explain why I'm currently long SPY through the new SPY Balancer Plan, which has been backtested and forward tested before being put into action.✅ S&P 500 breakout and SPY all-time highs✅ 10/20/50 EMA Trend Template✅ Market breadth, RSP vs. SPY, MMFI and MMT✅ Sector rotation and concentration risk✅ Treasury yields and the SPY Balancer PlanThe market may finally be preparing to break out of its long sideways trend. The question is whether the improving breadth and rotation can provide the broad participation needed to push the S&P 500 to new highs.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense. 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ovtlyrdotcom

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcCut your losses. It sounds simple, but it's one of the hardest rules for traders to actually follow.A billion-dollar hedge fund manager drilled this lesson into me years ago, and recent trades provided another real-world reminder of why it matters. I had trading plans in place, predetermined stops, and when those stops were hit, the correct decision was to get out.The key risk management tool in these trades was a half ATR stop.ATR, or Average True Range, measures a stock's typical price movement. Using half an ATR as a stop gives you a defined point where the trade is telling you that something may no longer be working. Earlier this year, I tested tighter stops against a large number of potential setups and found that the half ATR approach was significantly more profitable overall.Why does cutting losses matter so much?Because losses work against you geometrically. A 50% loss requires a 100% gain just to get back to breakeven. The larger the loss becomes, the harder recovery gets. That's why traders need to keep losses small and let winners run.STM, AAOI, VSH, and Cisco provide real examples. Some of these stocks looked strong right before they fell sharply. That's the point. You cannot consistently predict when a stock is about to reverse. You can control how much you lose when it does.For the Outlier Fund, position sizing is also built around risk. The target is 2.5% risk if a trade reaches 2 ATR, while a half ATR stop can allow the position to be closed for substantially less than that maximum risk.The goal isn't to avoid every losing trade. Losing trades are part of trading. The goal is to survive them.✅ How to cut losses before they become disasters✅ Half ATR stop loss strategy✅ ATR and Average True Range explained✅ Position sizing and risk management✅ Why losses work against you geometrically✅ STM, AAOI, VSH, Cisco, and SPY examples✅ Trading psychology and staying in the gameYou can't see the future. Neither can I. What you can do is control your risk, follow your trading plan, and make sure one bad trade doesn't take you out of the game.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense. 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ovtlyrdotcom#StockMarket #SwingTrading #OVTLYR #RiskManagement #StopLoss #ATR #TradingStrategy #TradingPsychology #PositionSizing #StockTradingHere's how we plan to DOMINATE the US Investing Championship for 2026You can see our step by step trading plan developed by a team of over 20 quants for FREE by clicking here: https://www.ovtlyr.com/usicplan

What if you could make money when a stock goes down? That’s exactly where this class goes today.

We’re breaking down short selling, Stage 4 breakdowns, short squeezes, trading risk, and the psychology that can make or break your results. And trust me, this is where trading starts getting real.

You’ll see why trying to predict the market can get you into trouble, why waiting for the right setup matters, and why managing your losses is more important than being right every time.

Here’s what we cover:

✅ How short selling actually works
✅ Why short squeezes can become extremely dangerous
✅ Why Stage 4 is the key setup for short trades
✅ How to use stops without moving them the wrong way
✅ Why losses can cluster, even with a real edge
✅ How hindsight and confirmation bias can wreck your decisions

One of the biggest lessons? Don’t short a stock just because you think it has gone too far. Short the decline, not your opinion.

We also dive into the midterm quiz and the mindset behind becoming a better trader. The goal isn’t to predict every move. It’s to build a process you can actually follow.

A stock gaps up 5% and suddenly everyone wants to know what happens next. Does it keep going, or does the move completely fall apart?

The Gap and Go vs. Gap and Crap strategy gives you a simple way to answer that question using a 5 candle pattern. It works across stocks and timeframes and gives you a specific level to watch after a significant gap up.

Here's how it works.

Start by measuring the gap between the previous day's close and the next day's open. Then mark the low of the gap candle, including the bottom of the wick. That becomes your line in the sand.

From there, watch the next three candles.

If any of those candles closes below the low of the gap candle, you've got a Gap and Crap. The stock gapped higher but failed to maintain its momentum.

If the stock holds above that level and continues moving higher, you've got a Gap and Go. The gap can act like a momentum boost, giving the stock the opportunity to continue higher without getting in its way.

There are plenty of real-world examples. Palantir had an 11% gap after earnings before falling below the key level within three candles. Meta produced examples of both Gap and Crap and Gap and Go behavior. Micron had a 9.61% gap that continued higher, while Nvidia and AMD provide additional examples of the pattern in action.

The important part is that you can't see the future. You aren't predicting whether the stock will continue higher. You're watching the next three candles and letting price tell you whether the gap has momentum or is starting to fail.

After the fifth candle, the specific Gap and Go or Gap and Crap pattern is finished and you can return to normal price action.

✅ 5 candle Gap and Go strategy
✅ Gap and Crap trading strategy
✅ How to identify and trade stock gaps
✅ Palantir, Meta, Micron, Nvidia, and AMD examples
✅ How to use the gap candle low as your key level

Add this Gap and Go and Gap and Crap method to your trading toolkit and start watching what happens after stocks make significant gap-up moves.
