Hey everybody. This is the next installment of Trading large caps again, there's there's millions of ways to trade large caps What I want to talk about is the way that I trade them and the way I transition into trading them So what I do is I scalp mid to large cap companies, okay? So Let's be clear. I scalp gappers That's it. I have other stocks that I watch daily to trade with the trend But majority of the time what I what I wake up every day and do is run a scan To look for the gappers in these mid to large cap companies and I trade those gaps. I trade the volatility So here is my criteria. I did the scanner video I hope you all have seen that again just to reiterate this the criteria is this a gap plus or minus three percent, okay? This means that I I don't really care about Trading with the gap. I just want to see it gap So the gap creates volatility and so that's why I look for this So plus or minus three percent three percent or more for a gap up three percent or less minus three percent or less for a gap down So next criteria is a hundred thousand plus pre-market volume I use this to start to analyze but by the market open that Volume should be more than three hundred thousand. So if it's not it's up to you to decide whether you trade it or not If it's a known company and a popular ticker and might trade it just depends The price has to be greater than ten dollars for me and the average daily volume has to be greater than a million Now I don't put that in my scan because I want to see Everything if you put that in your scan and something that is gapping down a bunch or gapping up a bunch But doesn't normally trade that much volume. You won't see it. So you leave that out of there This is just something I do when I look at the daily chart after it hits the scanner I look at the chart and in I look at the daily Candles and I see if you know on average it trades more than a million right at a million or more than a million And my exception is that if it's already traded more than a million shares pre-market And the average daily volume is not greater than a million Probably still gonna consider a big interest in it because most other people are Considering the amount of volume It needs a catalyst. I Will not trade mergers. I will not trade acquisitions and I will not trade ETFs, I don't trade D gas you gas TV IX VIX None of them. I won't trade spy. I won't trade QQQ. I don't care about any of those Okay, don't care about it. I don't care about it Market cap. I want it to be greater than 300 million again I just don't want to see the typical small cap company in there I want to make sure that I'm not seeing a price greater than 10, but it's actually a 2 million Market cap, so I want to make sure that I'm looking at a mid to large cap company even though a mid cap company You don't see a mid cap company until a market cap over 2 billion. I Believe is what the criteria is. I can't remember. I know a small cap company is technically anything under 2 billion But I mean it's very different for what we think so I just don't want to see anything around 300 million or less Next I trade with the trend. I don't care the direction of the gap I care about the direction of the chart. I look at the five-year Weekly chart to start off with and the trend indicators that I put on my chart are the 50 period Simple moving average and the 200 period simple moving average all that is is a 50 period SMA and a 200 period SMA That's really it One-year daily is my inch is my daily chart and that's the same as the weekly now when it comes to finding the levels That's different. Okay. This is just this is determining the trend What's the trend on the weekly is it above the 50 period SMA and above the 200? Definitely in an uptrend if it's below the 50, but above the 200 It could be a trend change if the daily confirms it if the daily says that it's below the 50 and below the 200 It's a trend change and now I'm going to be looking at it as a short So those are just some of the things that I judge using those little indicators They're not based on my entries or anything. They just give me my bias on the trade Whether I'm looking at it for the long side or the short side Hey traders, this is Tosh.
