If you want to get profitable with BigShort as a day trader, this is for you. If instead you intend to swing trade more, then check out this Quick Start first.


Day Traders Quick Start

Follow OFFICIAL Tae Recs for day trades


100% track record so far.

Tae makes them as they arise, in the Official-Tae-Recs Discord Channel about 12 times per year. This requires that you sign up for the subscribers-only discord which is included free with your subscription to BigShort.

Many of these recs take weeks or months to play out and are squarely Swing Trades, so take the ones that work on the daily timeframe. The return is often 100% or more on these trades.

Difficulty - Easiest. No special training is needed in advance of these trades.

Preparation - None. No preparation need be completed before these trades besides being a BigShort user who is logged into the Subscribers-only Discord.


Trade every Honey Badger (and Badgerish) Day


90% success rate.

Honey Badger Days occur about six times per year. Often user return more than the annual subscription to BigShort on one Honey Badger Day.

Difficulty - Easy. Users must use some minimal discretion about when to enter the trade at the beginning of the day.

Preparation - Light. Users must read one simple set of instructions and one visual beforehand (like the visual shared here).


Check Top 10 Short Exempt (SE) on the Dashboard for Tickers with an indicator over 1

A high Short Exempt (SE) indicator over 1 on the Dashboard implies high volatility in the coming day(s) for that ticker. Use the BigFour BigShort indicators to trade that stock.

Difficulty - Moderate. Users must know how all BigFour BigShort indicators work and be patient enough to wait for agreement. Users must use their own discretion as to how much signal is enough for them to enter

Preparation - Moderate. Users must read and be comfortable with the workings of the BigFour BigShort Indicators - Dark Pools, NOF, Momo, and SmartFlow.



Check the Day-Trade channel in the Subscribers-only Discord for day trading ideas

The Day-Trade channel in the Discord is extremely active throughout the trading day. BigShort traders are very helpful and of share profitable and exciting day trading setups they're looking at before and during the trading day.

Difficulty - Moderate. Users must understand the BigFour BigShort indicators and use their own discretion on whether to follow another trader's recommendation.

Preparation - Moderate. Users must read and be comfortable with the workings of the BigFour BigShort Indicators - Dark Pools, NOF, Momo, and SmartFlow.
