About Sam Shames

Sam specializes in options, equities, and macro trading using short-term signals. His strategy is top-down – the tide first, boats second using three unique indicators, the Trend OscillatorX, the HiLo ProX, and Structure Score Pro to tie it all together to determine the structure and momentum in a stock setup. All three indicators, known as the True Momentum Score, provide important information about a chart's momentum. Sam is primarily a short-term swing trader, but as long as the setups and market momentum signals remain valid, he will hold the trade. 

A typical path Sam will take before entering a position is understanding the setup on the index, such as S&P or Nasdaq first, then the sector, such as technology, second, and the stock third. This gives him an edge in trading as it shows the money flow from the broad market to stocks. Once he has found a setup, he looks for an entry using multiple timeframe analyses to ensure the signals are aligned on the weekly, daily, and intraday charts. The strongest setups have clean alignment from the intraday to the weekly.
