Follow my thoughts on trading and investing

I’m very passionate about trading and do it on eToro so that anyone can follow my trades for free and see what I’m up to (you can open a free account here https://bit.ly/JFetoro . Since the portfolio and track record is public information, it keeps me accountable too. This newsletter is where I break down how I actually trade, not just what I trade. And some market musings from time to time.

The core idea: get in the institutions’ slipstream.

When a fund like Fidelity (c.$7T AUM, 250+ funds) decides to build a position in a stock, it can’t do it in a day without moving the price. It might take them weeks. My job is to spot when that buying is underway — and ride the wave.

I call this Insti-Alignment: Leadership → Setup → Entry.

Leadership — Is the stock showing visible strength? Unusual volume, relative strength (staying up when the market sells off), and is the whole group acting well?

Setup — Is price tightening up? I look for VCP (volatility contraction patterns), undercut-and-reclaim (UnR), pullbacks to key levels that actually turn around, or “news failure” (bad news that can’t knock the stock down).

Entry — I favor end-of-day bullish reversal candles in key zones.

My best example in 2026: a Dell trade that returned +150% over two months, publicly tracked on eToro. High volume caught my attention in late February — but it was not ready yet. I didn’t buy. I waited over a month, watched it hold up through market selloffs, waited for the breakout, then bought the pullback to the breakout zone on a reversal candle.

The idea is to share more of such setups here.
