- The chart that I like to look at for these
[2]
is the 15 day 15 minute.
[4]
So, after it goes on its run then I like to look at
[7]
how it's consolidating and
[9]
(upbeat music)
[17]
OTC versus listed, so what does OTC even mean?
[20]
OTC means over the counter and these securities
[24]
are traded via dealer network as opposed to
[26]
a centralized exchange.
[28]
So, when you put in an order to buy a NASDAQ stock,
[32]
it goes through an electronic market maker
[34]
and it automatically executes your trade.
[37]
So, NASDAQ stocks can have a lot more manipulation
[41]
and a lot more moves that are uncalled for
[44]
that don't really make sense.
[45]
And with OTCs it's a lot of market makers
[48]
manually entering the orders, putting them on the bid,
[50]
putting them on the ask.
[52]
So, they're just a lot more fluid in my opinion.
[55]
So, why do OTC stocks have a bad reputation?
[59]
A lot of people on Wall Street, they have way too big
[62]
of accounts, way too much capital
[64]
to even trade these stocks.
[65]
These stocks are really just meant for old people
[69]
that want to put two, three grand into a penny stock
[71]
because they think it's gonna be the next Amazon.
[75]
And everyone says they're a scam because they don't know
[79]
how to take advantage of the scam, or the promotion.
[85]
Why do I believe that OTC stocks are easier than NASDAQ?
[89]
Well, like I was saying, OTC stocks are a lot more slower
[92]
and NASDAQ stocks, they just, they do a lot more
[95]
weird stuff and shorts are a lot more involved.
[98]
There's a lot more fundamental importance in OTCs,
[102]
or not OTCs, NASDAQ.
[104]
And the daily chart for me always tells the story.
[108]
And with NASDAQ, the daily charts are always crazy
[111]
but with OTCs if you ever noticed
[113]
the daily candles make a lot more sense
[117]
when it comes to buying breakouts, shorting first red days
[120]
and first green days.
[123]
The daily charts make sense and they don't really make sense
[126]
with listed stocks.
[130]
So, why do I believe that beginners should start
[132]
with OTC market?
[133]
I think that beginners should start with the OTC market
[135]
because for small accounts they're probably
[139]
the best thing to trade because they're the lowest price
[141]
usually and you can make really fantastic percent returns.
[145]
There's no after hours or pre market trading
[148]
so it's low odds that you get caught in a massive gap down
[152]
like you could potentially get caught in an offering
[155]
with a listed stock and if you're all in on a small account
[158]
you're down 50% and you can't even cut your loss
[161]
because the stock is just gonna immediately gap down
[164]
and that's really scary to me.
[168]
What are the best times to trade OTC stocks?
[170]
So, the best time of day for me is late day.
[174]
That's usually where I like to buy after the stock
[176]
has proven itself.
[178]
It has held up.
[179]
It's doing good volume.
[180]
It has all the criteria to continue further.
[184]
And then, I like to take profits in the morning
[187]
because that's when the second wave of buyers come in.
[189]
That's when you should be selling.
[192]
And then, the best times of year to trade OTC stocks
[195]
from what I've seen so far, the end of the year
[198]
and the beginning of the year.
[200]
During the summer it's been really slow
[202]
and it's the same thing as midday.
[204]
Midday is slow, the summer is slow.
[206]
The start is good and the end is good.
[209]
And then, what are the best OTC patterns?
[213]
So, my favorite OTC patterns I'm gonna go over right here
[216]
on this next few slides.
[217]
So, penny stock breakouts.
[219]
This is specifically talking about stocks that are priced
[223]
between a cent and ten cents.
[226]
Not dollar stocks, not three dollar stocks.
[228]
I want to specifically talk about
[229]
the really low priced stocks.
[232]
And what I'm basically looking for is for the stock
[235]
to go on a run and then stay near its highs
[239]
and go sideways.
[240]
And what I'm looking to capitalize on
[241]
is that secondary spike, that multi day breakout
[244]
is what I'm looking to take advantage of.
[247]
And what will make the move more explosive
[250]
is little to no overhead resistance,
[253]
so there's less sellers on the way up when it does breakout.
[256]
There's a catalyst, there's massive volume,
[258]
and then ideally it's in a hot sector.
[261]
And all these things that, all these things would make
[265]
the breakout way more explosive.
[267]
And the chart that I like to look at for these
[271]
is the 15 day 15 minute.
[272]
So, after it goes on its run, then I like to look at
[276]
how it's consolidating and how the run was,
[280]
the first run that it made.
[282]
Was it clean?
[283]
Was the stock faking green to red every morning?
[287]
Did it not hold its highs?
[290]
Did it not hold the review opp all day?
[291]
I want the cleanest possible stock.
[293]
Ideally it spikes, it goes sideways,
[295]
it spikes, it goes sideways, it spikes.
[297]
The stair stepper pattern that Tim always talks about.
[300]
So, you can stay long during it
[303]
and you're not gonna get faked out.
[304]
VYST, so, this stock was awesome.
[308]
As you can see it made an awesome run up
[311]
from basically nothing to five cents.
[314]
And then for five days the stock went sideways.
[319]
As you can see on the 15 day 15 minute
[321]
the stock went sideways especially these last few days.
[325]
You can see that the range got tighter
[328]
and every single day that the stock got more
[330]
and more and more tight.
[331]
And then on Monday the stock released a press release.
[336]
And then as you can see in the morning
[337]
volume started to come in.
[339]
That's when I took a fourth of my position.
[342]
I bought 50 thousand shares right out of the gate
[344]
and I was risking green to red.
[347]
And then as the stock breaks out I add another
[350]
50 thousand shares and I'm still risking green to red
[353]
but now the win percent is higher
[354]
because now it's a confirmed breakout.
[356]
And then when the stock comes down
[359]
and then as you can see those three red candles right there,
[362]
the stock held the breakout perfectly.
[364]
And then when it started to perk off the breakout
[368]
that's where I'm adding my full size
[369]
and I get up to 200 thousand shares
[371]
from about a 636 average and I change my risk
[376]
to that level looking consolidation.
[378]
Because if the stock breaks down below that
[381]
I don't want to be long anymore because it's proven
[383]
that I can't hold the breakout level.
[385]
And then from there the stock had a really nice slow grind
[390]
all the way up to about ten cents that day
[391]
before the first harsh pull.
[393]
And I sold this stock out into pieces into the strength
[397]
and I got out for about a two cent gain.
[400]
And the stock went all the way to 16.
[401]
So, I left a ton on the table but I can't be mad
[404]
because I made 4,400 and I was risking a very small amount.
[410]
As I slowly sized in I'm pretty sure my final risk
[413]
on the stock, I had 200 thousand from a 636 average
[417]
and I was risking 61 or a very small amount.
[421]
So I was still achieving great risk reward
[423]
and that's really all that matters.
[426]
ALYI, this was probably my favorite set up
[429]
of the entire year.
[432]
As you can see the stock had three beautiful green days
[436]
on the daily chart and if you notice, too,
[439]
it was on increasing volume which is really nice.
[441]
I like to see the stock as it keeps going
[444]
more and more volume to get into the stock.
[447]
And then something that I use to tell myself
[451]
if the stock has a good potential of breaking out again
[455]
is for the stock to hold half of its spike.
[458]
So, for instance, this spiked exactly from a penny
[461]
to three cents.
[464]
And then the stock came down and held two cents
[466]
for two days perfectly.
[468]
As you can see on the 15 day 15 minute
[472]
there on Monday it came down to two cents
[475]
and then perked off a little bit and then closed sideways.
[478]
And then the second day it didn't break down,
[480]
it held again and then went sideways into the close.
[485]
And then when the stock had a morning spike on Wednesday
[489]
that's when I get interested because the stock
[492]
has proven to me that it can hold half its spike.
[495]
The stock can go on a three day green streak
[497]
as you can see from the first run.
[499]
So, that's when I start nibbling a little bit
[501]
and buying some shares.
[504]
Near the late day when it broke of a high day.
[507]
I put a little bit on just to keep it
[509]
on watch for tomorrow.
[511]
And then the next day it had a small gap up
[514]
and they dropped a press release
[516]
and as you can see there on Thursday
[518]
massive, massive, massive volume came in.
[520]
Absolutely astronomical volume on the daily chart.
[523]
As you can see the stock traded 75 million plus shares.
[527]
And that's just amazing to me.
[530]
So then, as it started spiking I add into my position
[533]
and I got up to 500 thousand shares
[536]
from a three cent average which is about the breakout level.
[539]
And I was basically just risking break even on it.
[542]
If it failed to hold the breakout I was just gonna cut.
[545]
And the stock kept going and I sold that
[548]
for almost four and a half cents.
[551]
And as you can see it went all the way to seven.
[553]
So, once again, I left a lot on the table
[555]
but I was still happy with my gain on this one.
[557]
I made about 6,700.
