The TTM Squeeze for Swing Traders: Looking for "Big Move" Potential | Advanced Charting Techniques

Advanced Charting Techniques | Cameron May | 12-12-25 Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. https://bit.ly/2v9tH6D In this video, Schwab Education Senior Manager Cameron May will explore how a trader might use the TTM Squeeze to identify stocks transitioning out of a quiet, low-volatility phase and into a more directional phase. We’ll break down how the TTM Squeeze is constructed, what the indicator is measuring, and how a compression-and-release pattern may help highlight moments when price is shifting into stronger momentum. Using real-time thinkorswim paperMoney charts, we’ll walk through how a Squeeze setup might be recognized, how momentum bars are interpreted, and how those signals might support a structured trade idea. We also discuss how a trader might plan both profit-taking and risk-management decisions using the TTM Squeeze as part of the overall trade plan. That includes considering potential breakout failure, volatility expansion, and how the indicator reacts when momentum weakens. To tie everything together, we close the session by planning and placing a complete example trade on thinkorswim Desktop paperMoney, illustrating how the TTM Squeeze might fit into a rules-based approach to trading stocks transitioning from recent quiet periods.
