This is Nicolas Darvas searching for stocks in 1959. One of my favorite quotes from him is: The only sound reason for buying a stock is that it is rising in price. If that is happening, no other reason is required. If that is not happening, no other reason is worth considering.

My thoughts on $TSLA in chart below. Consider "When a stock pulls back in price, you want to see volume drying up, which indicates no significant selling pressure. When it rallies up in price, you want to see volume rise, which represents institutional buying." - William O'Neal

When I buy I do not wait on volume to confirm a move above the pivot point to go long. I buy a pilot position at the pivot, set a stop just under LOD (if the stock isn’t extended) and I observe the stock’s volume shortly after I buy to determine if I want to gain more exposure.

From 1984 to 1989 Mark Minervini did not make any money in the stock market. One of the most accomplished stock market traders of all time did not make any money for a five to six year period. There is no need to feel discouraged when you aren't making money. Just don't quit.
