VOL_4: The Clean Slate

Welcome to Episode 4 of The Enemy in the Chart: Advanced Technical Curriculum. In this hands-on starter finale, "The Clean Slate", Thomas Rooney walks you step-by-step through configuring your first clean charting workspace and executing your first breakout strategy. Drawing from 25 years of athletic conditioning, 10 years of stage discipline, and 16 years of market discipline, Tom teaches you how to organize a streamlined daily watchlist and identify institutional breakouts. Using real-world daily setups on Apple (AAPL) and Blackberry, Tom demonstrates how to locate key historical resistance ceilings (such as Apple's $148.09 level and Blackberry's $9.41 peak) and draw clean horizontal anchors. You will learn how to identify high-volume breakout candles that signal major momentum entry points, and why Tom mandates a structured paper-trading phase to build cognitive muscle before risking real capital. FROM THE MUSCLE TRADING VAULT: Originally recorded as a premium curriculum across three courses during Muscle Trading's retail education era (2016–2021), this masterclass is unsealed from the archives and syndicated globally for free on streaming platforms for the first time.
