⚙️ Trading Strategy
20-day momentum, 5% threshold confirmation
Looks for stocks that have gained 5%+ over the last 20 days. Enters on pullbacks (red candles) within the uptrend and rides until target hit or momentum fades.
🎯 Best Suited For
Growth stocks, meme stocks
📜 Why This Strategy Works
Momentum persists because of behavioral biases. Investors underreact to good news initially, then pile in as the trend becomes obvious. Momo catches the middle of this wave.
