March 2025 Review
Dip Buys & Small Caps
I honestly think this month was super packed with opportunities of almost every kind. Didn’t capitalize well so definitely lots of work that needs to be done. Smallcaps were technically slower than the few months prior and increasing size substantially since the end of last year is going to take some toll on the quality of executions and re-occurrence of mistakes that were previously thought to be resolved. Had a boatload of momentum at the beginning of the month but kind of fizzle by the end. Just need to get better and not complain.
Traded the majority of the opportunities so I was definitely present for the right moments on the right tickers. Main issue was taking initial losses before nailing smallcaps and then sizing like a monster on those huge largecap plays. I’ve noticed those losses on the way up really take a huge toll on how well I capitalize on stuff overall even after I get into it at the right spot.
Dip Buys:
March 11th TSLA/CRWD

Not listing gappers too many
This was a trade that could have had a lot of potential. Was the day after TSLA -17% day or whatever (heard that was tsla’s 2nd worse day in history). If it went down that much yday how could you NOT buy it today. But considering how it played out intraday it was honestly pretty crap other than the opening drive. We had that stupid gap up which made it not as good but the orb after the flush was pretty clean. Also buying the undercut of yday’s low would have been pretty good for a swing for multi-day which didn’t work immediately well.
CRWD which was a market leader for the last couple years and a strong stock before this tariff news was a great. Multi-day continued selloff and buying open for a swing was a pretty tidy idea. I didn’t participate in this name specifically but definitely notable.
I would say this was probably the best trade last month which I partially missed. I was long small size and swinging from the 10th but wasn’t attentive enough to slap a bunch of size on the breakout day which was a big mistake. Buying that 240 break with a stop at lows would have been a monster trade and a lot easier than holding multiple days as it ticks sideways and tortures you.
Couple decent smallcap D2 gap types. GV being the better one for sure after that swipe near highs off open. Unfortunately GV obliterated swing shorts the day after but intraday I think was really clean. Even the squeeze day GV was a decent short too but a little more tricky. Really need to wait till it squeezes shorts when we reclaim prior HOD.
Very clean intraday on MULN gap up day. Parabolic unwind was a killer short on the sub1d. Also well known piece of crap stock so easy to have conviction when we look like this intraday.
GME convertible notes offering was also a killer trade. Remember those other convertibles notes offering on EV’s NIO and RIVN back in the day that worked really well. Haven’t really seen them destroy a stock like this the day after a convertible notes offering since but I guess after it stays heavy and doesn’t trap that’s the confirmation of them dumping new shares. That LOD or even wedge type VWAP break was the spot to get short. Could have sized really tight too on a name like this.
Also very excited about a new opportunity. I started proprietary trading at WealthMill managed by Yurii Kitikari, CMT. Really happy to join a team of professional and highly skilled traders.
