How I Find WINNING Trades for the US Investing Championship 💰

from How to Trade Stocks and Options Podcast with OVTLYR Live · host Christopher M. Uhl, CMA

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you’ve ever wondered how a professional investor actually screens for stocks instead of guessing, chasing headlines, or gambling on earnings, this breakdown walks you through the full process step by step. This is the exact framework used while competing in the U.S. Investing Championship, and it is built around structure, data, and risk control. Not hype. Not hope. Not predictions.The process starts with the market itself. Before even looking at individual stocks, the first question is simple: is the S&P 500 in a bullish trend? Is there a confirmed buy signal? What is the Fear and Greed heatmap doing? If the market environment does not align with the rules, no new trades. Period.Then comes breadth. How many stocks are actually trending up versus down? Are buy signals accelerating or evaporating? This is not about guessing direction. It is about measuring participation. When defensive sectors like utilities and staples begin outperforming, that tells a very different story than when aggressive sectors are leading. That context matters.From there, the focus narrows into sectors and finally into individual stocks using a structured screener. The goal is not random stock picking. The goal is stacking probabilities.Here is a simplified version of what is being evaluated:✅ Market trend and buy signals✅ Sector relative strength versus SPY✅ Breadth confirmation and acceleration✅ Fear and Greed heatmap direction✅ Volume, price filters, and current signal statusOnce a stock passes through those filters, the next layer is performance analysis. Not just raw returns, but capital efficiency. A stock might show similar total returns compared to buy and hold, but if it only requires capital 31 percent of the time, that changes everything. That means capital can be deployed elsewhere instead of sitting idle. That is how you increase expectancy without increasing risk.Risk management is the foundation throughout this entire strategy. Rolling options to reduce exposure. Avoiding stale signals. Ignoring profit targets that anchor psychology. Reducing risk as trades move in your favor instead of pyramiding recklessly. Even earnings are treated as calculated risk events, not emotional bets.Order blocks, gap and go versus gap and crap setups, ATR levels, delta selection on options, intrinsic versus extrinsic value, and position sizing based on portfolio growth are all addressed with practical examples. This is real trading talk. Real numbers. Real expectancy metrics. Not vague motivation.The emphasis stays consistent: cut losers short, reduce risk aggressively, let structured signals guide entries and exits. A proven plan showing positive expectancy and a documented win rate around 56.94 percent is what drives execution. If you do not know your expectancy, you do not have a trading plan.If you want to see how this screening process works inside OVTLYR, how signals are evaluated, and how trades are structured in real time, subscribe to the OVTLYR channel for deeper breakdowns, live examples, and risk-managed strategies built for serious traders.👉 https://www.youtube.com/@ovtlyrdotcomGain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.
