Kristjan Kullamägi (Qullamaggie)

Momentum swing trader of stocks; writes the Qullamaggie blog

AA — the trader’s own published text (rule document, own site) was read.

Breakouts, episodic pivots, parabolic shorts. He describes three setups with entry, stop and exit rules and the typical position size on his own blog. Rules are written for stocks on daily charts with intraday entries; any use on crypto is our extrapolation.

A published rule is a hypothesis, not evidence of profit. We do not know how often these rules won, and traders who publish their methods are the ones who survived.

Limits of these rules

He writes about stocks with high ADR and a very selective choice of leaders. He does not publish a trade-by-trade record on these pages. The stop-at-the-low-of-the-day rule makes the stop distance a function of the entry time.
