Think Small, Win Big With Guerrilla Trading Hacks: T3 Live's Sami Abusaad Reveals Tactics

During the Benzinga ‘How to Trade Earnings Season with Sami Abusaad‘ virtual event on Thursday, traders were given an in-depth look at a high-risk, high-reward method.

Abusaad, director of education at T3 Live, captivated attendees by unveiling his highly influential “guerrilla trading” strategy.

The Guerrilla Trading Approach

Abusaad described guerrilla trading as his go-to strategy for earnings season, emphasizing its potential despite the risks. “There are three ways to trade earnings season. The first is guerrilla trading, where you enter the day before the company reports. That’s the riskiest because you don’t know what will be reported,” Abusaad explained. This method involves making trades just before earnings announcements, leveraging the market’s reaction to the reports.

Identifying Opportunities

A crucial element of the guerrilla trading strategy is identifying stocks expected to react significantly to earnings reports. Abusaad shared his criteria for selecting these stocks, focusing on market patterns and sentiment.

“I’m looking for stocks that have low expectations. How do I know they’re low? Because people sold the day before earnings,” he noted. This approach aims to capitalize on the market’s misjudgment and the subsequent correction post-earnings.

Proven Success and Real-Life Examples

Abusaad provided several real-life examples to illustrate the success of his guerrilla trading strategy. He discussed specific trades, such as his profitable moves with FedEx options, to demonstrate how the approach works in practice.

“The key to trading successfully is knowing where you are, where the stock is in its cycle,” Abusaad emphasized, highlighting the importance of timing and market understanding.

Practical Tips and Risk Management

Throughout the event, Abusaad also addressed the importance of risk management in guerrilla trading. He offered practical advice on managing trades and mitigating risks, which is essential for those adopting this strategy. “Trading is risky, and this is just for educational purposes only. It’s not a recommendation to buy or sell anything,” he reminded attendees, stressing the need for caution and careful planning.

Engaging with Transparency

Abusaad’s transparency about his trading journey and willingness to share his strategies resonated strongly with the audience. “I’m not like one of those always selling you stuff in hindsight. You get the plays ahead of time,” he asserted, highlighting his commitment to providing genuine value to traders.

Abusaad’s insights into guerrilla trading offered attendees a unique and practical approach to earnings season. His emphasis on market psychology, pattern recognition, and risk management equips traders with the tools to make informed decisions. The event proved to be a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their trading skills and apply effective strategies during earnings season.
