Only track the STOCKS that successfully played the pattern out! this way i can look for the multiple similarities the "successful" stocks had with one another, and find consistencies in the probabilities behind a pattern's success.... Then create RULES to follow (based on the factors that the stock ought to possess (i.e. low float, etc.).
FOR ALL PATTERNS, I MUST:
1. track the average gain (the average gain possible across 100+ samples) --- tells me when best  to take profits (so i don't get greedy; gives confidence in holding my position optimally).
2. track the top tick % (what is the avg top tick ($) across 100+ samples) --- tells me when it is best to enter the trade.
3. track the bottom tick % (what is the avg bottom tick ($) across 100+ samples) --- tells me when it is best to exit the trade.

OTC BREAKOUT
-breakout over multi-day highs
-hot sector
-news
-closing strong
-pump*

OTC up-listings are great news catalysts [super rare though, they're not common].....



OTCs move so much slower, and methodical that it's so much easier to find risk .......... Nasdaq's move faster ----------- www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrGfmhOA4J8 .........

In OTCs, it's safer and easier to read the charts (cleaner charts)..... learn listed after you build your account with OTCs.........

OTC breakout: (it would've spiked a week or two ago, it consolidates for a couple of days or a couple of weeks, it then has a PR or something that gets it to then breakout).. OTC B/Os are awesome because they usually trend for TWO or THREE days... I like to swing it for a day or two (esp. buying it in the afternoon, so then you can swing it for that gap-up).. -Matt Monaco

Trade OTCs ------- especially Breaking News releases (STT breaking news chatroom)..... -- holding these plays into the late afternoons may behoove thee (as the stock always trends upwards; then take half my profits and hold into the next day if all seems all good)!

When BUYING OTCs, i need to question ---- is it having a third or fourth or fifth green day of sorts in a row??? ......... this is typically where short-sellers begin looking to short the stock (when it's had 3,4,5,6 consecutive green days in a row and is over-extended).............. use Level 2 to guide me through most of the trade.....

OTCs do not trade AFTER-HOURS.
OTCs start pre-market trading at 8 am.
Listed(Nasdaq) stocks start pre-market trading at 4 am (8am is when things pick up)

After-hour OTCs price moves are not real price moves -- those are prints; market makers are balancing their books.

A TIP TO SELL SHARES QUICKER ON OTCs -------- To get better fills on OTCs, consider putting my shares for sale via different market makers........... For instance, if i want to sell 6,000 shares --- then try to sell 2,000 shares via NITE, and 2,000 shares via ETRF, then 2,000 shares via CDEL.... this will increase my odds of getting shares sold sooner, if but a fraction or only sold..... #yessir... a clever tactic to use to also know which market maker I should use to sell ASAP (it increases my overall odds of getting shares sold)... 

Min 36 - Min 40 -------- technical analysis (OTCs) is easier to learn than fundamental analysis (listed stocks) ------ in OTCs, it's safer and easier to read the charts (cleaner charts)..... learn listed after you build your account with OTCs ------ www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrGfmhOA4J8 .......

Min 32 ----- For beginners, start with OTCs (all you have to learn is technical analysis) ------ for listed (Nasdaq) stocks, it's an art --- you need to know more of the fundamentals (the financials; dilution; is the chart good; what are the algos doing) ---- Start trading longs in the OTC market ------ www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrGfmhOA4J8 ....... #Dom

The OTC market is so hot and cold..... If it is a stock that is either being pumped, or if it's in a hot sector at the time, the technicals will be pure with the possibility of a green-day to extend into a gap-up and second green day..... But the vast majority of days i don't see OTCs in favor.... judge the market environment........ -Grittani

OTC STOCK SCANNERS
There’s a certain subset of stocks you should focus on if you have a small account ... yep, OTC stocks! If you’re a new trader, these stocks can offer the potential to grow a small account. How can you find them?
You’ve probably seen OTCs with multiple green days in a row, breakouts, and morning panic dip buys. OTCs have been hot lately. What’s great about these patterns is they can repeat a lot.
First things first — limit your markets strictly to OTCs. When you run this scan, you can go in and tweak the criteria a bit more. Then, look for stocks under a dollar.
Of course, always focus on volume too.
Keep adjusting your volume and running the scan until you’ve got a manageable number of stocks. Now, if it’s still not a manageable number of stocks, this is probably due to the triple zeros, aka trip-zero stocks.
Criteria to look for: [OTC market] [volume of 10 million shares] [less than $1; maybe include more than $.10 cents] [view the long term chart of each play and analyze it's tape]
Do your research on each stock. Look at the sector, the news, the chart … Figure out how you feel about each. Do any offer the potential to set up for a play?

Matt Monaco's favorite OTC longs
• OTC breakout ---- (it would've spiked a week ago or two ago, it consolidates for a couple of days or a couple of weeks, it then has a PR or something that gets it to then breakout).. OTC breakouts are so awesome because they usually trend for TWO or THREE days... So Monaco likes to swing it for a day or two (especially buying it in the afternoon, so then you can swing it for that gap-up)..
• morning panic dip-buy... awesome patterns [where a stock might drop 40% or so , and then bounce 50% in one instance that occurred with DPLS in October 2021]...

*Matt Monaco really learned OTC first because they move slower, and give you a lot of time to think about the plays... Then i shifted over to listed, and tried to apply those same strategies.. but dip-buying listed stocks is much, much more difficult and I don't think the edge is really there.. -Matt Monaco

Min 21:30 ------- Grittani on OTC stocks (gap ups) | they're much better at holding their gains.......... HOLDING OVERNIGHT: Grittani prefers holding OTCs overnight (not listed/Nasdaq stocks). I think it's a lot higher odds when you see an OTC closing strong on the day, that it will GAP UP and have another strong day. OTCs are very technically pure (clean charts). With listed stocks, it's much more of a toss up; take the trade, but manage your risk. If the stock GAPS DOWN the next morning instead of GAPPOING UP like you expected, you just gotta get out ---------- https://youtu.be/mDrcRDcjRCw ......






DON'T EVER BUY A STOCK CHASING IT...because that opens the door to it coming back down to the breakout level.... if it comes back down to the initial breakout median, then i may buy it.... -Sykes

Strategy::: when the stock breaks out to new highs, and then bases at that breakout level, that means that the stock will accelerate up.


You never know how much a stock is going to spike.....you can try and guess...but that is why stock investing isn't an exact science. -sykes


When I trade during volatility (for OTC stocks) I base my decisions more off of level 2 than the chart
During consolidation, key points on the chart matter more to me than random level 2 movement --Tim Grittani


DON'T EVER BUY A STOCK CHASING IT...because that opens the door to it coming back down to the breakout level.... or if it comes back down to the initial breakout median, then i may buy it....

Grittani says that buying BOUNCE PLAYS (dip-buys) on OTCs is a little bit trickier than buying BREAKOUTS. -[Grittani commentary]









I really like OTCs on their first green days (a stock that's been doing nothing then has a big move on news, or something; it'll usually gap up on day 2.. i will usually look to buy an OTC play that has a FGD in it's pattern with good news (it almost always gaps up 10-20%, and it's much more reliable of a pattern than NASDAQ and PINK SHEET plays)......... -Tim Sykes

HOW GRITTANI BUYS OTC BREAKOUTS:



_________________________________________________________________________________

OTC #BREAKOUTS for OTC daily, weekly, and monthly breakouts, it needs to have steady volume of at least 3 million, 4 million, 5 million ---- the volume slowly increasing over the hours and days on it's runup......... - I love OTC breakouts.... OTC breakouts and dip-buys..... When OTCs are hot, it's one of the best places to be, period... There's no better place to grow a small account than with OTCs when they're hot... They're cheaper, they move thousands of percentages at times, and they flow a little bit better, as opposed to Nasdaqs that have been so choppy for months and months and months... -Roland Wolf - A breakout mistake to not make --------- www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2SC0-1g49g ............ #SMBCapital


OTC MARKET GAP UPS (Friday spikes, Monday morning spikes | weekend holds)
            I love OTCs (over Nasdaq or any other exchange) because they don’t trade very much premarket or after hours … a few orders sneak through. 
            By and large, if a company has good news overnight or premarket, everyone has to buy right at the open. This is what I love. (this allows OTCs to really surge predictably).
            One of my favorite strategies is buying a stock with good news on a Friday / Friday afternoon and holding it over the weekend. 
            As people read about it over the weekend, they put in their buy orders -- all the buy orders stack up on Monday morning, and you can just sell into the spike. 
            This creates a little bit of an opportunity where there’s no pre-market trading, and that allows for a more predictable GAP UP or morning spike based on supply and demand.    -Tim Sykes
-
The hype-believers or newbies looking for a lottery ticket see the news after-hours. But they can’t buy. So, they put in an order to buy as soon as the market opens. Those orders stack up — demand is high. And that can create a GAP UP where the stock opens higher than it closed.

OTCs do not trade in afterhours... they can trade in pre-market but they're usually very very illiquid (so most of the time they're an 'ignore' in premarket)... -[Bohen]

QUESTION: Is it easy to learn NASDAQ(listed) first, or OTC?
TIM SYKES: I really prefer OTC. . . If you see me trading OTCs, there's a reason why. . .

COMMENT: Tim, it took a while for your cynical mindset to sink in about OTCs. You're absolutely correct, the stock can have the greatest news but if the market says it's not worth it then it's just crap.
TIM SYKES: OTC companies just lie. . . . The promoters that are behind these OTCs are shady af. . .

Sub-penny stock plays, I’ll watch it, but I’m just not a fan of sub-pennies unless they're going up 300%, 500%, 1000%, cause then they might not even be sub-penny by the end of the day. . . -TIM SYKES

USING STOP LOSSES WITH #OTCs::::::::::: You can use STOP-LOSSES for OTCs.. You can use STOPS anywhere... The problem is, with OTCs, you're gonna really big SLIPPAGE... I'm comfortable more times than not putting STOPS on Listed(Nasdaq) stocks... So in that case, if i get stopped out, i'm not going to get that much slippage.... For OTCs, what causes the big panics is when people put STOPS on them, because market-makers will purposely fill you at the bottom (of your stop loss)... You basically gave them an empty check into your account to make sure you're filled at the worst possible spot. So... you can use STOP-LOSSES on OTCs... but it's a very dangerous game to play... STOPS on OTCs swings are difficult... Jackaroo does this thing where he puts TIME-BASED STOP LOSSES, where he sits in a position for like 6-months waiting for it to run. That's cool too. That's hit style, that's just not something i'm really comfortable with at the moment for the time being... -Monaco

HOW TO #SWING TRADE #OTCs::::::::: Min 10 --------- put money into OTCs that are basing, in hot sectors.... you can make 500% and 1000% winners -------- Swing Trading can allow you to grow your equity safer, than buying these dips ------- https://youtu.be/pzWJvuUJ4ps ........ #Jackaroo

When traders of OTCs / pink sheets see a stock is down a lot, they start seeing their account balance and they start thinking about the implications and seeing how far it goes down --- that's when they usually start to realize the risks of pennystocks, and they pu tin a sell order over night or in the morning before they go to work... and because OTCs don't trade pre-market, it usually creates a ton of sell-orders at the open, and the panic (stock drops immensely)....these newbies were believing the promoters, etc...

I love OTCs over Nasdaq or any other exchange because they don’t trade very much premarket or after hours … a few orders sneak through. 
By and large, if a company has good news overnight or premarket, everyone has to buy right at the open. This is what I love. 
One of my favorite strategies is buying a stock with good news on a Friday or Friday afternoon and holding it on the weekend. 
As people read about it over the weekend, they put in their buy orders -- all the buy orders stack up on a Monday morning, and you can just sell into the spike.

scanner grittani uses to find OTC plays ----- http://tradetheticker.blogspot.com/2014/02/watchlist-for-february-24-2014.html?m=1 .........

OTC SCANNERs
There are a few criteria I look for when scanning the OTC market. I set my scanner to find stocks that are trading above $500,000 in volume, priced above $0.05, priced below $5, and up more than 5% on the day. This will pull up a list of stocks that meet this criteria for the day. Next, I look at the daily charts for the stocks that appear on this scan and look for chart patterns that I'm familiar with and like to trade. For example, I'll look for daily stock charts that are getting overextended, or perhaps close to a key breakout. If I like the chart, I add the stock to my watchlist. If I don't like the chart, I simply ignore it.
From there, it's simply a matter of prioritizing what I'm most likely to play the following day and which plays are more on radar than immediate plays. When the following day concludes, I decide which stocks to keep on my watchlist (based off of their charts), which to remove, and then I start the whole process over again.
Hope this clears up my preparation process! There really is no more to it than this. I don't dig through filings, I don't analyze news releases, I don't worry about what the message board trolls are saying. It's all about the chart and the pattern for me. If any of this isn't clear, feel free to leave a comment, I'll be happy to clear up any confusion!


The First Green Day pattern is more predictable with OTC stocks. Why? OTC Stocks Don’t Trade Premarket..... Because with listed stocks, you never know what will happen in extended-hours trading. 

If you hold the FGD pattern overnight on a listed stock, you need to be present during extended hours. You need the ability to trade in extended hours and watch the stock to protect yourself..... Less meticulous, uneducated traders see the price action/news after hours. They get interested — but the market’s closed. So they place a market order that gets executed at the market open. This can create a gap-up — where the opening price is higher than the closing price. For this reason, an overnight hold on the FGD pattern tends to be more reliable with OTCs. 

 
• OTC breakout ---- (it would've spiked a week ago or two ago, it consolidates for a couple of days or a couple of weeks, it then has a PR or something that gets it to then breakout).. OTC breakouts are so awesome because they usually trend for TWO or THREE days... So Monaco likes to swing it for a day or two (especially buying it in the afternoon, so then you can swing it for that gap-up)..
-

If you’re looking for an OTC breakout, you want to see more buyers than sellers. If everyone’s matching the asking price, the price will go up. You’ll see a move up on the ask and the bid moving up as more buyers come in. If you want to short a stock, you're looking for the opposite.

OTCs are very tough with execution (to get out)... even when there is significant volume... You have to be very very quick...... I don't recommend buying OTCs (largely) unless there's significant liquidity, otherwise you're going to get stuck... -Croock  #OTCs #SIZING

#OTC Gappers

OTC MARKET GAP UPS (Friday spikes, Monday morning spikes | weekend holds)
            I love OTCs (over Nasdaq or any other exchange) because they don’t trade very much premarket or after hours … a few orders sneak through. 
            By and large, if a company has good news overnight or premarket, everyone has to buy right at the open. This is what I love. (this allows OTCs to really surge predictably).
            One of my favorite strategies is buying a stock with good news on a Friday / Friday afternoon and holding it over the weekend. 
            As people read about it over the weekend, they put in their buy orders -- all the buy orders stack up on Monday morning, and you can just sell into the spike. 
            This creates a little bit of an opportunity where there’s no pre-market trading, and that allows for a more predictable GAP UP or morning spike based on supply and demand.    -Tim Sykes

The hype-believers or newbies looking for a lottery ticket see the news after-hours. But they can’t buy. So, they put in an order to buy as soon as the market opens. Those orders stack up — demand is high. And that can create a GAP UP where the stock opens higher than it closed.

Min 21:30 ------- Grittani on OTC stocks (gap ups) | they're much better at holding their gains..... HOLDING OVERNIGHT: Grittani prefers holding #OTCs overnight (not listed/Nasdaq stocks). I think it's a lot higher odds when you see an OTC closing strong on the day, that it will GAP UP and have another strong day. OTCs are very technically pure (clean charts). With listed stocks, it's much more of a toss up; take the trade, but manage your risk. If the stock GAPS DOWN the next morning instead of GAPPOING UP like you expected, you just gotta get out ---------- https://youtu.be/mDrcRDcjRCw ......

QUESTION: Does Level 2 matter more or less in the different types of markets, like OTC [vs] listed stocks? Do you take it into consideration?
ANSWER: 100%. I love OTC stocks because they’re less choppy. OTCs don’t trade premarket or after-hours, so a lot of the orders pile up.
Let’s say an OTC company has good news overnight or before the market closes. If anybody sees that news and wants to buy anytime in the next day, all of those buy orders pile up and try to get executed right at the market open at 9:30 am.
This usually creates a GAP UP or a morning spike as the market makers like to spike this stock when there’s say 200 different people who want to buy, and only seven people who want to sell. That’s versus Nasdaq or other exchanges where they trade pre-market. They’re usually more liquid. They’re easier to get executed.
Even if you put in an order on an OTC stock, you might not get executed for a few minutes. It’s a much smaller exchange, and that can lead to good and bad.
The good thing is if a stock does have good news — if there are a lot of buyers — it pushes the price up. And if you’re already long, it’s just like surfing. You’re riding a wave of buyers.
But it’s bad if you’re trying to sell into a panic and you can’t get out because everyone else is trying to sell too. So you have to think about the differences between Nasdaq or listed stocks and OTC.

The First Green Day pattern is more predictable with OTC stocks. Why? OTC Stocks Don’t Trade Premarket..... Because with listed stocks, you never know what will happen in extended-hours trading. 
If you hold the FGD pattern overnight on a listed stock, you need to be present during extended hours. You need the ability to trade in extended hours and watch the stock to protect yourself..... With OTCs, less meticulous, uneducated traders see the price action/news after hours. They get interested — but the market’s closed. So they place a market order that gets executed at the market open. This can create a GAP UP. For this reason, an overnight hold on the FGD pattern tends to be more reliable with OTCs.

IF A STOCK GAPS UP, AND HOLDS ITS SUPPORT LEVEL #OTCs

If a stock gaps up and holds support, you've got a very easy risk level (and you can just basically click the buy button) #lol -Matt Monaco

STOCK GAP DOWNS CAN BE POTENTIAL BUYS
When you have a gap-down and the stock's trying to come back, they actually have a tendency to fill the gap.. don't expect necessarily that the gaps will be filled, but they will try to make an attempt..... -Sykes

OTCs TEND TO GAP DOWN (THE PLAYS CAN BE WEIRD | BE MORE CONSERVATIVE ON "WEIRD" PLAYS | MAKE A MENTAL NOTE ON THESE ONES)
The thing is down 80%. . . it GAPPED DOWN 80%. . I know some people were long overnight. . . that's the risk with OTCs. . . On any play, especially these sketchy OTCs, you can have these big gap downs. . .  -Sykes

Min 8:30 -------- WHEN YOU GET THE GAP, SELL THE GAP::::::: when it gaps up 10%-40%, you sell::::::: sell the GAP UP for OTC stock moves -------- www.youtube.com/watch?v=441zuv1YJes ........


The OTC market is so hot and cold..... If it is a stock that is either being pumped, or in a hot sector at the time, the technicals will be pure with the possibility of a green-day to extend into a gap-up and second green day..... But the vast majority of days i don't see OTCs in favor.... judge the market environment........ -Grittani

 
There are millions of trading patterns... So how can new traders find what works for them?... keep it simple.
1. the OTC gapper: OTCs can be great for traders with small accounts.
                [a big percent gainer … It hits multi-month and multi-year highs. When this happens, it tends to show up on everyone’s scanners. Traders are buying into that close. Then it proceeds to trend up all day].
2. the morning panic dip buy:
                [an OTC gapper for four days in a row ... Once the stock has gapped up, it goes red and crashes hard. Look for the turning on the level two … They see bidders step in and a green candle on the five-minute chart. That’s what traders key in on].

I CAN ADD [SPIKEET] TO MY EXCEL SPREADSHEETS BY USING THE "SPIKEET PLUGIN" TO RETRIEVE STOCK MARKET DATA FOR ME -------- www.twitter.com/_spikeet/status/1567826513915006976?s=20 ......... https://bit.ly/3xB4seL ......... #SPIKEET #EXCEL

DATA-DRIVEN PATTERN STATISTICS
Within the past 15 days (if it's a very hot market) [or if it's a slower market, then the last 100+ days], find statistics on the strategy for:
~ what percentage did the pattern work (turn profitable)? (i.e. the pattern works 82% of the time)
~ what was the average profit rate percentage return of the pattern? (i.e. the pattern gives a return rate of 15% gains)
~ what was the average risk rate percentage return of the pattern? (i.e. the pattern gives an average risk rate of 5%)
~ what is the frequency of the pattern occurring? (i.e. the pattern over the past 10 days "in this hot market" has been working every single day, multiple times)
* then from the data, i can determine what my risk/reward for the setup would be (5% of 15% = 3:1 risk/reward), with 82% profitability, and it's happening every single day multiple times.
~~~running data benefits you a lot in seeing what works and what doesn't work, how often it works.............

  • When tracking VOLUME, always track both of these:::::: [VOLUME in premarket] and [VOLUME end of day].......
  • What was the stock's OPEN price?
  • What was the stock's CLOSE price?
  • What was the stock's HIGH TICK price?
  • What was the stock's LOW TICK price?
