He graduated college in 2010 with $5,000, worked at a "modern day bucket shop" with 60:1 margin, and made nothing. He traded e-minis from his mother's bedroom. He ran a $7,500 options account to six figures in a stock called NQ Mobile — then Muddy Waters exposed it as a fraud, and his entire annual income evaporated in a single day. He was essentially fired from an institutional brokerage, failed as a financial advisor making 200 – 300 cold calls per day, and even detoured into Philadelphia real estate. Every failure deposited knowledge. The bucket shop taught order flow. The institutional desk taught block trading and algorithmic execution. Being unable to trade compliance-restricted positions forced him through every human emotion — and taught him how price actually moves. In 2020, he entered the U.S. Investing Championship, posted a +941.1% return, and won. TAKEAWAY 2

EMA Crossback — the first pullback to the moving averages after the pop 4. Base n' Break — a multi-day consolidation above the EMAs that breaks higher 5. Exhaustion Extension — price stretches far from the 10 EMA, signaling a potential top The sequence then inverts for a downtrend. This framework isn't rigid — steps can be skipped — but it prevents buying late-stage moves and helps identify low-risk entries early in new trends. Kell applied this to TSLA, ZM, FSLY, and TWLO throughout 2020. TAKEAWAY 3

“ The goal is to combine multiple different timeframes so you can capture a higher timeframe trend while defining your risk with a lower timeframe entry. ” e.style.display='none');if(typeof getContentsSections==='function')setTimeout(getContentsSections,50)" /> Price action is fractal. The same Cycle of Price Action patterns appear on five-minute charts, hourly charts, daily charts, weekly charts, and monthly charts. Kell exploits this by using higher timeframes to identify the direction of the trend and lower timeframes to pinpoint entries and manage risk. A stock pulling back to its…
