Good morning, traders…
If you find yourself tracking 100 stocks at once, looking for dozens of indicators, and confusing one pattern for another…
Stop what you’re doing right now.
Trading doesn’t need to be complicated.
Let me introduce you to someone who has spent years proving that simplicity is a virtue…
Tim Bohen is one of the most experienced traders I know.
As the Lead Trainer at StocksToTrade, he’s taught thousands of students and created incredible trading tools.
But even more importantly, he’s learned what not to do … the hard way.
Tim traded for five years before he started making money. What finally changed things for him wasn’t some magic trick or hidden market secret.
It was simplicity.
He stopped trying to trade everything, dropped all the unnecessary indicators, and focused on one pattern that worked.
And that same chart setup still works today.
Tim uses it, I use it, and you should start using it too.
Let’s Talk About What This Pattern Is, Why It Works, And How You Can Apply It To Your Day Trading, Starting Right Now…
The “VWAP Hold High-of-Day Break” Pattern
Tim calls it the VWAP Hold High-of-Day Break Pattern…
VWAP stands for Volume Weighted Average Price. It’s a technical indicator that traders use to measure the average price a stock has traded at throughout the day, based on both price and volume.
Think of it as a moving average that accounts for the volume at each price level.
There are three steps to this pattern:
- A stock surges early in the day – This shows buyers are present and demand is strong.
- It pulls back but holds VWAP – VWAP is a key level that tells us if buyers or sellers are in control. When a stock stays above VWAP, it means buyers are defending the price.
- It breaks above the High-of-Day – This is the moment when buyers officially take over. A break to new highs confirms that demand is still strong, and it often leads to another big push higher.
That’s it. Three steps. If you don’t see them, the pattern isn’t there.
No guessing, no chasing, no FOMO.
Just a simple, repeatable pattern that has worked for decades.
A Real World Example
You’re probably thinking, “That’s great for penny stocks, but does it work on larger stocks?”
Absolutely. If you know what you’re looking for, you’ll see this pattern all over the place.
Example: One of the strongest momentum stocks in the market, Texas-based satellite manufacturer AST SpaceMobile Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS)…
This chart is on a face-ripping run. 15 of the last 16 trading days have been deep green on heavy volume.
Looking at an unstoppable freight-train chart like this, it might seem difficult to pick an entry.
But that’s where this pattern comes in.
Over the past two days, ASTS:
- Pulled back but held above VWAP (purple line).
- Broke the high-of-day and took off.
The result was an extremely high-probability setup that blasted into the stratosphere like a satellite (excuse the pun).
This pattern works across stocks, options, and even larger-cap names.
Instead of chasing random moves, you’re waiting for clear confirmation before taking action.
How You Can Start Using This Today
- Look for strong stocks – These are stocks that gap up or surge early in the day.
- Watch how they react at VWAP – If they hold above it, buyers are in control.
- Wait for the high-of-day break – This is your signal to enter.
And remember:
- You don’t need 50 indicators.
- You don’t need to trade every setup.
- You just need one repeatable edge.
Tim found his. I found mine.
