Happy New Year!
The start of the new year presents a prime opportunity to explore potential trading strategies within the "strat" edges, specifically focusing on Inside Candles reversal strategies across various time frames. Here's a breakdown of the stocks I'll be keeping an eye on for yearly, quarterly, and monthly and weekly:
Yearly Reversal Strategies:
BABA: My favorite for this year. After dipping below last year's low, it has since reclaimed its ground. I'm optimistic about BABA's performance in 2025.
GXO: A recent long-term addition to my portfolio, bought between $41 and $42. I'll provide a deep dive on this stock soon.
SBUX: If Starbucks can initiate a turnaround, this could be a significant play this year.
VRSN: The last on my watch list for yearly reversals.
Inside Year Strategies:
ANSS and JOBY are my top picks for charting. I also fancy the SCHW chart, bolstered by recent earnings reports. Notably, JOBY is also an inside month.
Here is the full list:
Inside Quarter Strategies:
I have 14 stocks under review for this timeframe:
ENS is an inside quarter within an inside year.
MBLY closed near its yearly highs, often indicating it might be among the first to break out.
DKS presents a compelling chart setup with potential to reach $253 quite easily if it moves.
Here is the full list:
Monthly Inside Strategies:
December provided a substantial list of monthly insides. My favorites among these are FTNT and FLEX.

Inside Week Strategies:
I'm watching 13 stocks this week. I particularly focus on those with multiple inside candle formations. For example, DKS has both an inside week and an inside quarter. Breaking the inside week could trigger a breakout of the inside quarter, pushing towards new highs.
Here is the weekly list:
