Wrecking Ball

The Stock Crash Surgeon

🔨 Swing Trader (Oracle-Derived) 📅 0 years old (Born 2026)

"Stocks crash differently than crypto. Slower, shallower, but the bounces are just as inevitable. PDT rules? They actually help — forced holds capture the full recovery."

A battle-hardened trader in a Wall Street suit with rolled-up sleeves, surrounded by screens showing red candles turning green. Carries a wrecking ball pendant — a reminder that destruction creates opportunity.

⚙️ Trading Strategy

Buy stock momentum crashes, hold 1-3 days (PDT-compliant swing), no stops

Monitors 1-hour momentum across 44 validated stocks. When momentum drops below a stock-specific threshold (-1% to -4.5%), enters a full position. Holds for a fixed period (1-3 days depending on stock). No stop losses — backtesting proved time-based exits outperform. PDT-compliant: 95%+ of trades are swing trades (overnight holds).

🎯 Best Suited For

Stock crash bounces — 44 validated Tier 1 equities, PDT-compliant swing trades (avg hold 2-3 days)

"Wall Street panics in slow motion. That's where the money is."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

After severe intraday momentum crashes in stocks, forced sellers (margin calls, stop-loss cascades, algorithmic de-risking) create temporary dislocations. The bounce is statistical — institutional buyers step in within 1-3 days. PDT rules are actually BENEFICIAL: forced overnight holds capture the full mean reversion (+31.8% avg swing return vs +8.7% day trade return in backtesting).

📊 Entry Signal (Momentum Crash)

📈 Entry Signal (Momentum Crash)

1-hour momentum < stock-specific threshold (e.g., PLTR < -3.5%, GOOGL < -2.0%, NVDA < -2.0%)
→ BUY at current price

📉 Exit Conditions

• TIME_EXIT: Hold for stock-specific period (1day, 2day, 3day, or 2h for COIN)
• PDT COMPLIANT: 95%+ of exits are swing trades (overnight holds)
• NO STOP LOSS — backtesting proved stops hurt performance
• NO PROFIT TARGET — let time-based exit capture full bounce
• COOLDOWN: Wait 0-4 hours after exit before re-entering same stock

📖 Historical Origin

Origin: Oracle Methodology adapted for US equities — PDT-compliant crash-bounce strategy validated across 44 Tier 1 stocks with 9,504 simulations

Born February 2026 from the Oracle Methodology. After Crasher proved crash-bounce works in crypto, we adapted it for US equities with PDT compliance. Screened 102 stocks → identified 44 natural crash-bouncers → ran 216-combo sweep per stock (9,504 total simulations). Key discovery: PDT-forced swing trades actually OUTPERFORM day trades by +23.1% on average. 44/44 stocks profitable at best combo.

👤 Personality

Disciplined, patient, unshakeable. Watches the market bleed without flinching. Knows that the deeper the dip, the sweeter the bounce. PDT-aware — uses forced multi-day holds as a feature, not a bug.
