About First Move Opportunities

I’m not trying to predict the market. I’m documenting what happens before the move.

First Move Opportunities is my public market journal.

I regularly scan stocks for situations where price, volatility, momentum and options data suggest that something interesting may be developing.

When I find one, I document the setup before I know the outcome.

Then I come back later and review what actually happened.

What I look at

My analysis may include:

• Price structure and momentum

• 14-day ATR and expected movement

• Moving averages and compression

• RSI and MACD

• Options spreads

• Delta, gamma and other Greeks

• Implied volatility

• Risk/reward and probability

• What happened after the original analysis

Why subscribe?

Because the interesting part isn’t someone showing you a chart after a stock moved 30%.

It’s seeing the original thesis before the outcome was known.

Subscribers receive new First Move Opportunities research directly by email, including new setups, follow-up analysis and reviews of previous ideas.

Who am I?

I’m Sagar Podilapu.

I approach markets analytically and experimentally. I’m interested in understanding why setups work, why they fail, and whether the same signals remain useful when tested repeatedly.

First Move Opportunities is where I document that process publicly

.

One important distinction

This is not a trade-alert service.

I’m not telling you what to buy or sell. I’m documenting research, hypotheses, trades and observations so that we can examine what happens next.

The record stays visible — including the ideas that don’t work.
