New trading system called MSFT, NVDA & MSFT (Ad)

Look 2023 kind of sucked from a trading standpoint… Despite the market finishing 24% higher…. Just seven stocks did all of the work… Unless you were holding or actively trading those 7 stocks, your trading year probably wasn’t as fruitful as you had hoped… According to my research, my new trading system would have spotted all seven of the “Magnificent stocks” MONTHS before they reached the highs they are trading at today.
