Introduction 
 
How many times have you witnessed a momentum stock just explode (to the upside or 
downside) and thought to yourself… “Man, if only I was able to trade that stock, I 
would’ve made a killing.” I know I have, and that’s why I developed a handful of key 
patterns to help me hunt down momentum. 
 
For the majority of my trading career, I traded small-cap momentum stocks and focused 
on a handful of patterns, allowing me to lock down some massive winners, as well as 
(some losers). Of course, I know how to locate stocks set to run up in the small-cap 
space, as I’ve shown before…

Uncovering momentum stocks potentially poised for massive gains in the small-cap 
vspace is great and all. However, I knew in order to become a complete trader, I needed 
to expand my horizon. You see, by focusing on just one type of stock, I realized I was 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 4  


leaving a lot of potential profits on the table — after all, there are mid-caps and 
large-caps that make up TRILLIONS of dollars on the market. 
 
So I went out and studied chart patterns in mid- and large-cap stocks. 
 

Guess what I found? 


 
The same simple momentum patterns I used for the better part of my trading career 
were prominent in both the mid- and large-cap spaces. 
 
Those are the SAME patterns I’ve been using for years… and I thought to myself, “Man, 
was I stupid for not hunting down momentum in other areas!” 
 
I’ve kept this a secret for quite some time now, but it wouldn’t be fair to everyone if I 
just locked away forever. Finally, I will reveal to you the process I use to hunt down 
momentum in small- and mid-cap stocks with just a few simple patterns. 
 
Well, I’m an educator at heart, and I believe if I focus on large-caps… it would actually 
box some people out because those stocks are expensive to trade and eat up a lot of 
capital. In order to help as many people out as possible, I want to solely focus on small- 
and mid-cap stocks because I believe they offer some of the most explosive and 
accessible opportunities in the market. 
 
I want to show you the benefits and risks of momentum trading and put you in the 
driver’s seat, as you’ll learn throughout this eBook. 
 
After studying it, you’ll learn my S
​ calable and repeatable patterns to keep in your 
arsenal — the same ones I use to hunt down my momentum trades. 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 5  


As a former elementary school teacher, I’m really excited to show you the ropes, as I 
truly believe every trader should be using momentum strategies to target high returns. 
 
If things don’t click at first, don’t get discouraged. Re-read this eBook, study the 
patterns, and go back to the lessons, and I believe it will eventually click for you… just as 
it did for me. 
 
If and when it does, you will be well-equipped with a strategy that has the potential to 
build wealth for you and your loved ones. 
 

Patterns To Keep In Your Tool Kit 


For the most part, there are just a handful of patterns I use when I trade momentum 
stocks. The thing is, I found that mid- and large-caps exhibit the same scalable patterns 
I’ve used to make money in small-cap stocks in the past. 
 

Bull Flag and Bull Pennant Patterns 


 
Let me walk you through some of these patterns — the classic b
​ ull flag pattern. 
 
With the ​bull flag pattern​, we’re looking for a sharp move higher, followed by an area 
of consolidation — what I like to call the rest stop. You see, when stocks suddenly rise, 
they typically need to take a rest as I’ve seen from my experience. 
 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 6  


Think if you’re going on a long road trip… you’re going to have rest stops in between 
until you continue on the drive and reach your destination.  
 
Here’s what I’m talking about.

If you look at the chart above, the stock made a sharp move higher and had a rest stop. 
The area highlighted in yellow is what’s known as the flag, while the blue rectangular 
area is known as the flag pole.  
 
While not a given, typically after the rest period, the stock breaks out.

The bull pennant pattern works very similar to the bull flag 
pattern.

Notice the yellow rectangular area, this is the flagpole – pretty much identical to the 
flagpole in the bull flag pattern. However, you’ll notice two blue lines that look like 
they’re converging and forming a symmetrical triangle. Well, this is the pennant part of 
the pattern. 
 
This is actually a small-cap stock I’ve traded before… and the pattern worked for me, for 
multiple trades, as I show in the case studies later on. 
 
 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 9  


I know what you’re thinking, “Jason, this can work with small-caps, but can it actually 
work with mid-cap stocks?” 
 
You tell me. 
 
The classic bull flag pattern popped up in Beyond Meat (BYND), and if you understood 
how to use the bull flag pattern coupled with successful entry and exit prices… it could 
have resulted in big gains.

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 10  


Now, this isn’t the only bullish pattern I have in my arsenal… the ascending triangle 
could also be a high probability setup to hunt down momentum stocks. 
 

Ascending Triangle 
 
There are three things I look for to identify the ascending triangle pattern: 
 
● A “ceiling” of resistance (sometimes I call this the supply line) 
● A series of higher lows 
● The resistance line and the line connecting higher lows should be able to 
connect at some point, forming an acute angle (almost like a triangle!). 
 
Once the stock tops that line of resistance, it typically moves higher. 
 
For example, check out this chart below, it’s a classic ascending triangle pattern. 
 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 11

Notice the blue horizontal line, this is known as resistance – or the supply line. The 
stock had a tough time breaking above this area. However, if you look at the uptrend 
line, the stock was still running higher… and looked as if it could break above the blue 
horizontal line. 

Historically, you’ll see stocks flirt with the resistance area before breaking above it. 
That’s exactly what we saw here. As you can see below, once the stock broke above 
that blue horizontal line, it jumped higher!

Fish Hook Pattern 


How many times have you seen a momentum stock fall significantly, stall and think it 
could bounce? 
 
Well, I have so many times… and for the most part, I’ve been able to use it successfully. 
What’s the fish hook pattern? 
 
It’s easy.  
 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 13  


 
I’m looking for a big drop in the stock, a slow down in the selling pressure… followed by 
an area of consolidation. Thereafter, I want to see the stock catch a pop. 
 
Here’s how it looks on an actual stock chart. 
 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 14

What I’m really looking for is an area of support, and it helps if the Relative Strength 
Index (RSI) is below 30. Basically, the RSI is a momentum indicator that lets us know 
whether a stock is potentially oversold or overbought. 
 
Typically, when a stock’s RSI is below 30, momentum traders consider it oversold… and 
that’s a signal the stock could catch a bounce. On the other hand, if the RSI is above 30, 
it indicates the stock may be overbought and it could be at a top. 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 15  


 
Of course there are plenty of bullish patterns out there, but these are the ones I’ve 
found most useful to get started with momentum trading. I’ll show you how I use some 
of these bullish patterns to my advantage when I’m trading momentum stocks, whether 
they be small-caps or mid-caps. 
 
In order to understand how the fish hook pattern works, I believe it’s helpful to 
understand some bearish patterns as well. 
 

Make Sure To Keep An Eye On Bearish Patterns 


 
With momentum stocks, when they fall… they fall fast, and it’s helpful to know a few 
setups that could signal a stock could drop lower. That way, it allows for better timing 
of entries and stop-losses. 
 
That being said, let’s take a look at a few bearish patterns. 
 

Descending Triangle 
Remember the ascending triangle pattern? Well, the descending triangle pattern is just 
the opposite. 
 
With this specific setup, I want to see three things happen: 
 
● A series of lower highs (a downtrend) 
● An area of support 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 16  


● The support line and the line connecting lower highs should be able to connect 
at some point, forming a triangle. 
 
Here’s how it looks on an actual stock chart.

Now, we’re not looking to short momentum stocks because it could be extremely 
dangerous. The purpose of studying bearish patterns is to improve the probability of 
success when hunting down oversold stocks set to bounce (using my trusty fish hook 
pattern).

As you can see above, if you wanted to try the fish hook pattern in BYND… it wouldn’t 
have been wise because there was a big descending triangle pattern there. 
 
I want you to go out and pull up some stock charts and see if you can spot this pattern. 
I find it’s helpful to actually draw and annotate the charts. 
 
This brings us to the bear flag or pennant pattern. 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 18  


 
 
 

Bear Flag / Pennant Pattern 


 
The bear flag / pennant pattern is the exact opposite of the bull flag / pennant you saw 
earlier. However, this time we want to see a sharp move lower, followed by a period of 
consolidation. 
 
I’m going to use Facebook (FB) as an example for the bear flag / pennant pattern — just 
because most people are familiar with the stock. However, keep in mind, this pattern 
comes up in small-cap and mid-cap stocks as well.

Just take a look at what happened once the stock (Facebook) broke below the 
consolidation area.

If you look at the bear pennant pattern, it almost looks like a fish hook pattern right? 
 
It’s very easy to get faked out, and that’s why I wanted to bring some bearish patterns 
to your attention. 
 
There’s one more pattern I want to walk you through... 
 

The Rest And Retest Pattern 


This is one of my favorite patterns to use, and sometimes I refer to it as the Fibonacci 
retracement pattern. 

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 21  


 
If I miss out on a massive move in a momentum stock, often the rest and retest pattern 
comes into play.  
 
Why? 
 
Well, generally, a momentum stock will move higher and there is a high probability 
there will be pullbacks along the way. Thereafter, once it finds a key support level, it will 
typically bounce off and often continue higher. 
 
With this specific pattern, I’m literally looking for the stock to “rest” at a key level… and 
“retest” or reclaim recent highs. 
 
Here’s what the Fibonacci retracement pattern looks like on a chart. 

Chart Courtesy of ​StockCharts.com

JASON BOND’S​ •​ ​ ​Trading Patterns Cheat Sheet 22  


Notice how Glu Mobile Inc. (GLUU) broke out… if I missed the move, that’s okay. I 
identify the high and low points for the stock and draw the Fibonacci retracement. The 
retracement charting capabilities should be found on your trading platform or charting 
software. 
 
If you notice, there are key support levels in the chart above. Don’t worry if this is 
unclear to you right now… because I’m going to show you how this works in the next 
section. 
 
Of course, there are plenty of charts you can study out there… and anyone can teach 
you any chart pattern and tell you they work. It’s one thing to be able to identify chart 
patterns, and it’s another to actually make trades based on them. 
 
I’m a real money trader and I want to show you how I trade some of these patterns. I 
believe the easiest way for you to learn how to spot momentum stocks that may move 
significantly is through real-money case studies. 
 
After you study the real-money case studies, I believe it’s beneficial to paper trade and 
test these patterns out on your own to see if they work for you. With that being said, 
let’s see how I’m able to consistently hunt down momentum stocks.

Are You Ready To Hunt  
Down Momentum Stocks? 
 

By now, you should have a good understanding of how to hunt down momentum plays 
in small- and mid-cap stocks. You can find high-probability trades in these classes of 
stocks to put yourself in a position to maximize profits in a short period of time. 
 
Not only that, but you should be well-equipped with easy-to-use and highly-effective 
patterns to locate stocks poised to move. 
 
If this doesn’t click for you right off the bat, don’t worry. Making it in the momentum 
trading game is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Go back and review these lessons, paper 
trade and things should eventually click for you. If and when they do, you’ll be armed 
with a high-probability momentum trading strategy designed for fast profits and risk
