Pullback Longs

Where can you get the tightest stop to maximize risk-reward?

4 Aug 2026 · Edited from Martin’s stream; not a verbatim quotation.

For me, it would be a pullback into the nine EMA. The nine EMA works well in a strong rally. When it fails and the stock closes below it, that is probably the end of the uptrend, or at least the start of a sideways pause. The past can't predict the future, and there are always exceptions and nuances between examples, but I've found this approach effective. I'll keep following what the market does. For now, the nine EMA is working fine.
