⚙️ 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

"Catch it early, ride it hard, bail before the wipeout."

📜 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.
