Knowing the difference is what separates a winning entry from a stop-out.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ Why price is the only signal that truly matters✅ The Slingshot setup — entering pullbacks with low risk before the breakout✅ The Fishhook setup — how to trade earnings gaps without buying the top✅ The auction model — buyer's auction vs. seller's auction vs. balanced✅ Icarus levels (wicks that fade) vs. Atlas levels (real support)✅ Why most wicks form in the first 10–20 minutes and why they don't matter✅ How to draw clean pivot lines and "rungs on the ladder"✅ Why moving averages get sliced through and what to use instead✅ How Scot1and held Spotify through a 30%+ drawdown using pivots✅ Position sizing: distance to stop, liquidity, volatility, and price✅ How to scan IPOs (CRWV, CRCL, HNGE) for the next big leader✅ Managing flow, tilt, and imposter syndrome as a traderFollow Scot1and:https://x.com/Scot1andT— The TraderLion TeamFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/traderlion_https://x.com/TraderLionhttps://www.facebook.com/traderlionhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/traderlionhttps://www.tiktok.com/@traderlionTimestamps:0:00 - Welcome & Introduction2:39 - Icarus to Atlas — origin of the framework3:27 - Background: dot-com era, market making, learning to trade6:47 - Trading philosophy — price is the only thing that matters8:42 - Intro to the Slingshot & Fishhook setups12:23 - The Slingshot formula — 4-EMA of highs explained17:39 - Slingshot examples & what is NOT a slingshot22:32 - The Fishhook setup — trading EPs without buying the top26:36 - The charity auction story — origin of the auction model30:37 - Buyer's vs. Seller's vs. Balanced auctions31:09 - Icarus & Atlas — wicks, fading spikes & real demand33:19 - Why the 10-minute chart shows the auction best37:07 - Why moving averages are overrated40:18 - How to draw pivot lines (cutting off the wicks)43:47 - Distribution example — Roblox ladder breakdown53:21 - How pivots saved his Spotify long position55:33 - Reading IPOs — Robinhood, CRWV, CRCL, Hinge1:01:16 - Position sizing, risk per trade, and account management1:07:16 - Finding flow, avoiding tilt & imposter syndrome1:19:24 - chart walkthroughs — Nike, Sezzle, LEU, Hinge
