When a stock has already made a big move, the question is not just whether it can keep going. It is how much risk you are taking to participate.

Brian Shannon breaks down how he approached strength in the semiconductors by using shorter timeframes to define a tighter stop rather than relying on the previous day’s low. The result was a much smaller risk reference on a stock that was already extended.

The bigger lesson: position size, timeframe, and risk management should adjust as conditions change.

Waiting for confirmation has a trade-off: sometimes the stock moves before you get involved. Brian’s view is that this is okay. The goal isn’t to catch every cent. It’s to wait for evidence of strength.

The name of the pattern matters less than what the pattern is telling you.
Brian Shannon breaks down SanDisk by focusing on what really matters, supply and demand. As buyers create higher lows and return to the same area of supply more frequently, each test provides another clue about who may be gaining control.
The lesson: don’t just memorize chart patterns. Understand the behavior behind them.

Only Price Pays.™ is a reminder to stay focused on the evidence. When price contradicts your idea, the story doesn’t change what is happening.

A sharp decline doesn’t tell you where the bottom is. Brian’s approach is to wait for evidence that strength has returned rather than trying to predict the exact bottom.

Higher highs and higher lows are constructive, but where is the real leadership?

Brian Shannon takes a closer look at Nvidia and Tesla as the MAG stocks continue to send mixed signals. Nvidia is grinding higher after recent failed breakouts, while Tesla is approaching an important area where Brian would rather see the stock pull back and build energy before getting more constructive.

In an indecisive market, patience and selectivity can matter just as much as finding the next setup.
