🚨 Desk Alert: Today’s PlayBook Review — Nolan Takes the Hot Seat 🚨
Today we are back for another mentoring session that our traders have used for over 15 years to build their trading business—the PlayBook.
Nolan Lennon is stepping into the hot seat today to deconstruct a live setup from his trading ledger: The Day 2 Play in $WFF.
Nolan was a traditional hire for us—he interned with us in college, did two separate internships, consistently stood out, and earned a full-time offer to join our desk. But because Nolan is a new hire, the bar is exceptionally high.
I have graded hundreds of these presentations over the years. On our desk, 80 gets a Junior Intern passing grade, 85 is the Senior Intern benchmark, and 90 is the line required for new hires. Today, we will grade Nolan using our 10-point scorecard for 10 elements of The PlayBook.
What You’ll Learn Today:
• The Low-Float Day 2 PlayBook: Why low-float runners trade in distinct cycles, and how a stock that "should be dead" after a massive Day 1 run can trap early shorts and trigger an explosive Day 2 continuation squeeze.
• Confirmation vs. Anticipation on Opening Ranges: Nolan identifies a clean Opening Range Breakout (ORB) on Day 2. We’ll examine whether he waited for volume to confirm the reclaim or fell into the trap of anticipating before the tape gave the green light.
• Trading Limit Halts (LRP Bands): Low floats on 10% limit bands demand unique tape mechanics. Nolan walks through how he navigated LRP halts—and I will challenge him on whether scaling out 40% on the first LRP up left way too much R on the table.
• No More Piker Sizing on A+ Setups: When a stock trades over 146M shares on Day 1 and continues to hold elevated RVOL with under 1% short interest, how do you size it? We’ll look at whether Nolan sized up to his conviction or stayed in hesitant "C-tier" risk.
• Custom Technology & Range Breaks: Nolan shares how he utilizes custom scanners for high dollar-volume runners under $10, LRP montage tools, and automated Range Box tech. We’ll see how systematizing your screeners prevents you from missing moves.
Get off the sidelines, come support Nolan as he takes the hot seat, bring your questions, and let’s see what grade he earns today.
Will Nolan pass?

🚨 Desk Alert: Today’s PlayBook Review
Alkin Takes the Hot Seat 🚨
SMB Inside Access Team,
Today we’re back for another mentoring session our traders have used for over 15 years to build their trading business: the PlayBook.
Alkin Meletiou is stepping into the hot seat to deconstruct a live setup from his trading ledger:
The 2nd Day Play in $SOXL.
Let me be clear: the 2nd Day Play is one of the two best trades to learn and develop as a trader. If you pinned me down and asked for my top 3 trades for new and developing traders, a 2nd Day Trade makes that list every single time.
On our top desk, Nano has repeatedly noted how instrumental learning this trade was for his career—and how much value Steve Spencer has added by continually pounding the table for desk traders to take it.
If it’s good enough for a top trader on our top team in 2025, it ought to grab your undivided attention.
This is an absolute must-add to your PlayBook.
I’ve graded hundreds of these presentations over the years. Our desk benchmarks:
80 — Junior Intern
85 — Senior Intern
90 — New hire
Today, we’re putting Alkin through our standardized 10-point scorecard live.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
1. The Power of the 2nd Day Play
Why this setup is a foundational building block for consistent, professional traders—and how Day 1 institutional sponsorship sets up asymmetric Day 2 continuation.
2. Systematic Trailing vs. Leaving R on the Table
Alkin backtested VWAP, 9 EMA, and bar-break trails. We’ll examine why the VWAP trail paid over +3R while tighter bar breaks choked off the second leg.
Are you cutting your winners too early just to see green P&L?
3. Technology & Team Collaboration
Alkin built a custom Pine Script screener to filter Day 1 candidates before sharing them with his pod. We’ll look at how using technology to systematize your universe directly fuels desk collaboration.
4. Confirmation on the Open
When a high-momentum asset gaps down 3.0% against a roaring market, how do you wait for price to confirm the reclaim before striking?
5. The 10-Point Scorecard Audit
Presentation diligence is a direct proxy for trading discipline. We’ll grade Alkin across all 10 variables, from Reading the Tape to Trade Management.
Get off the sidelines. Come support Alkin in the hot seat, bring your questions, and let’s see what grade he earns today.
Will Alkin pass?
