Quick context I posted an AMA on various communities last week — some of you
might have seen it.
This month I wanted to break down something specific because
I keep seeing the same question: "what strategy should I use?"
The honest answer? Your strategy probably isn't the problem.
Your TIMING is.
Thats my April on one express I traded more aggressively but the edge is the same one I use on every account.
Here's what my journal data shows after tracking 400+ trades:
AM session (9:30 - 11:00 ET):
\- Win rate: 82%
\- Average R:R: 1.34
\- Biggest drawdown in a single session: $400
PM session (12:00 - 16:00 ET):
\- Win rate: 64%
\- Average R:R: 1.47
\- Biggest drawdown in a single session: $330
Same setups. Same risk management. Same me. The only variable
is time of day.
When I stopped trading PM, three things happened:
1. My win rate jumped because I was only taking the highest
probability window
2. My funded accounts stayed alive longer because I wasnt
giving back AM profits in the afternoon
3. My mental health improved massively because I wasnt
staring at charts for 8 hours
I trade 3 setups on NQ — all OHLC-based, no indicators. But
honestly the setups are maybe 30% of why this works. The other
70% is:
\- Session filter (AM only for this regime)
\- Entry grading (I rate every setup A+ to C before I click.
Below B = I sit out)
\- Hard daily target (hit it = close charts, no exceptions)
\- Journal everything (if you can't measure it, you can't
improve it)
The reason most traders keep blowing challenges isnt that
they dont know enough. It's that they take every mediocre
setup they see, trade all day, and have no system for knowing
when to STOP.
And the best advice I can always give you is: look at the data I guarantee you will see a pattern.
Happy to answer any questions about the journal system, risk
management or how I approach the market.

Start simple and don’t try to learn everything in one week because investing becomes easier once you understand the basics of risk, compounding, and patience. Start with index mutual funds or ETFs instead of trying to pick random stocks, and invest small amounts consistently through SIPs so you build discipline without stressing about market timing. Before investing, make sure you have an emergency fund and avoid putting money into things you don’t understand just because social media says it will “moon.” Good beginner resources are Zerodha Varsity, Zerodha Varsity, Groww Learn, Groww Learn, and books like The Psychology of Money and The Intelligent Investor. You can also follow basic finance channels from ET Money and Investopedia for beginner-friendly explanations. Focus more on consistency and long-term investing rather than daily trading because most beginners lose money chasing quick profits. Even ₹500–₹1000 monthly invested regularly is enough to start learning and building confidence.

It opens at 8pm ET

Not sure what this is but it's ticking...
This is what Gemini said about it.
>The term BOATS in your screenshot is the market identifier for the Blue Ocean Alternative Trading System. ​It is the specific venue that handles 24-hour and overnight trading for US-listed stocks and ETFs. ​What is BOATS? ​Full Name: Blue Ocean Alternative Trading System (often abbreviated as BOATS in trading platforms like TradingView or TradeStation). ​The "Overnight" Bridge: It operates from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM ET, Sunday through Thursday. This bridges the gap between the US market close and the European/Asian market opens. ​Why it's active now: Since it is currently Sunday night (after 8:00 PM ET), the US primary exchanges like the NYSE and Cboe are closed, but the Blue Ocean session has just opened for the week.

Here's what Stock Pulse flagged this week. These are the alerts that hit 10%+ gains with enough time between the alert and the peak to actually catch the move (filtering out instant spikes that came and went in a couple of minutes).
\*\*$AEHL +203% — Bitcoin treasury update + buyback\*\*
Antelope Enterprise pumped on a "Genius Plan" update — $190K realized BTC gains plus a $95K share buyback authorization. Alert at 8:39 AM ET at $0.94, peaked at $2.77 about 2h 31m later.
\*\*$YMAT +89% — $100M battery facility MOU\*\*

\*\*$SDOT +33% — technical bounce\*\*
Sadot Group bounced after an 84% eight-session decline tied to Nasdaq compliance issues. No fresh catalyst — pure mean-reversion play. Alert at 7:44 AM ET at $0.48, peaked at $0.61 about 1h 47m later.

\*\*The misses\*\*

I am looking for a way to bulk access data from around 400 mid-cap US stocks in real time during a specific time every day (11am ET). Basically I want to run my own stock screening and indicator logic in Python and filter out the most promising ones to trade on. Any good data sources that allow this?

Like clock work. I need to figure out how to short BTC. 5pm ET is dumps.

[ig.com](http://ig.com) doesn't reflect any sentiment. It is a group of gamblers who will be drowned to core of earth at 8:00 PM ET

BTC is a guide for me as well, but not until 5pm ET.

Check out ET

going chronologically in RK’s meme timeline, there’s this scene about a young master.
Young master gets a horse on his 14th bday and the village says “wonderful he got a horse” and young master says “we’ll see”
2 years later the young master falls off the horse and breaks his leg, village says “how terrible” and young master says “we’ll see”
Then a war breaks out and all the young men have to go fight in it except the young master because of his leg and everyone in the village says “how wonderful” and the young master says “we’ll see”
Wonder if there’s any correlation to this and RC’s 3 interviews with CNBC, Payne and TPMC or whatever..
Also to note this is the second to last meme video in the set, with the final one being ET going home..

Using point-to-point CAGRs and rolling return consistency as tests, the data broadly confirms that most active small-cap funds do NOT reliably beat Nifty Midcap 150 TRI — especially over 7–10 year horizons. But a small cluster of funds does, consistently.
# Why Nifty Midcap 150 TRI as the benchmark?
Nifty Midcap 150 TRI is a structurally demanding yardstick: it has delivered **\~23.9% (3Y), \~24.0% (5Y), \~20.6% (7Y), and \~18.3% (10Y) CAGR** (Mirae Asset ETF presentation, late 2025). Its 10-year average rolling return is \~17.3% vs \~15.1% for Nifty Smallcap 250 TRI (Equirus/ET study). So a small-cap fund must first overcome the inherent index-level gap before even accounting for fees and execution costs.
# Point-to-Point: 3/5/7/10Y
|Horizon|Nifty Midcap 150 TRI|Typical Small-Cap Fund (category avg)|
|:-|:-|:-|
|3Y|\~23.9%|Mid-20s (few match, most trail)|
|5Y|\~24.0%|High-teens to low-20s|
|7Y|\~20.6%|Mid-to-high teens|
|10Y|\~18.3%|Mid-teens (majority trail)|
SPIVA India (2025 YE): \~79% of mid/small-cap active funds underperformed their benchmark over 10 years. Over 5 years: \~41–46% underperformed even their own small-cap benchmark — let alone a tougher midcap index.

Rolling Return Consistency (Freefincal study, Jan 2013–Sep 2025)
Funds needing **≥70% outperformance frequency** vs Nifty Midcap 150 TRI:
|Rolling Window|Funds Qualifying / Total|
|:-|:-|
|3Y|7 / 23 (\~30%)|
|4Y|11 / 23 (\~48%)|
|5Y|11 / 21 (\~52%)|
|3+4+5Y combined|**7 / 21 (\~33%)**|
**Only 1-in-3 small-cap funds beat Nifty Midcap 150 TRI with high consistency across all 3–5 year rolling windows.**

Outliers (funds that do beat it)
A 10-year SIP study (₹5,000/month, mid-2015 to mid-2025) showed Nifty Midcap 150 TRI delivered \~21.2% SIP XIRR — roughly mid-pack. Several active small-cap schemes exceeded this:
* **Quant Small Cap, Nippon India Small Cap, SBI Small Cap, HDFC Small Cap** — SIP XIRRs in the 21–27% range over the same period.
Common traits of outperformers: restrained AUM, high active share, better downside protection in crash years.
**Practical takeaway:** Nifty Midcap 150 index fund as core, selective small-cap allocation only to funds with demonstrated rolling-return consistency vs this benchmark — not just vs their small-cap category benchmark.

You’ll wish you had oil calls and SPY puts at 6PM ET today

ET

My guy you’re placing money on something you don’t even know what the hours are.
The U.S. stock market (NYSE and NASDAQ) regular trading hours are Monday–Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). The market is closed on weekends and federal holidays, with pre-market trading beginning as early as 4:00 a.m. ET and after-hours trading lasting until 8:00 p.m. E

It looks as if you issued orders at saturday. At weekend there is no trading at NYSE, only at some OTC and there you need trade permissions first. And your oders are there where the ticks went, but possibly not the deals. At the tick you see how the bid/asks are always that one magic tick away from each other before a deal is concluded, and I doubt that 140.0 would be filled but 140.10 or 140.20, so why waste the comission on a single stock order?
Outside of the trading hours you will get a message "the order wasnt placed yet, we will place the order at.... am". Depends whether you select the "overnight" option or not. And "overnight" is 4 am till 10 pm ET at NYSE, NASDAQ and DirectEdge, not round the clock.
Round the clock is planned for NASDAQ, and you can try your luck in Japan, wich would be the first marketplace to open after a weekend.

Spent the weekend going through 100 saved screen recordings of my own trades. NQ futures, mostly from 9:30am ET till like 12ish
Here's the 5 patterns that became visible only on tape:
1. I scale out way too early. Every. Single. Time.
2. After a stop, I revenge-trade within 4 minutes \~32% of the time.
3. My best entries are between 10:13 and 11:00 ET. Outside that window my win rate drops by like 27%
4. I move my stop too soon when the trade goes 50% to target.
5. I'm worse after lunch, by a lot. Roughly 60% W/L pre-lunch, 41% post.
None of these patterns showed up in my paragraph-style trade journal. Only on tape.
Curious: anyone else doing video review instead of written? What's your workflow?
