Ariel turned $30,000 into over $10 million using a strategy focused on institutional-quality stocks and gap-up days. The approach trades flat-based breakouts at market open instead of waiting for retests, designed to follow institutional flows.

Someone who actually took $30,000 in 2020 has taken it to well over $10 million. We are with the one and only Real Simple Ariel, AKA Ariel. This one was actually one of my bigger P and L traits. It's the most scalable way to trade. You can get to 50 million, 100 million, you're aligned with big money. You're aligning yourself with the best names that are institutional quality. And sometimes you know their institutional quality because they all of a sudden on the large gap up day, it's going to trade 12, 15, 20, 30 million shares a day, right? That's not my Aunt Suzy coming in to buy the stock. That's an institution. Then it becomes, how do I get involved in that? For people who are intraday, they should know what's called an open. You could literally say price is good above the horizontal line and bad below the horizontal line. And so for me, this is called a flat based breakout. Now, I know a lot of people, they like to wait for the retest. I personally don't like a retest because when you're in a period like this big gap up, you know, look at how separated these moving averages are. If you're just buying it up here just because you're getting fomo, chances are it does nothing for you. Don't I wish I just never sold some in the 37s and sold it all at 72? Yeah, I would have made double. But that's just not the reality and I'm okay with that. And obviously look at what happened afterwards.
