Important Tips to Identify Ideal Hight Tight Flags

Posted July 4, 2025

In our most recent trading boot camp, we received a lot of questions about whether a particular stock was in a high tight flag.

As promised, we have a blog post going over the common mistakes traders were making in qualifying an ideal technical pattern during the boot camp.

In this blog post and video we will be going over these common mistakes and how to correct them.

How to Rapidly Grow Your Account

High tight flag breakouts on stocks with the best fundamental characteristics often lead to enormous moves in the months ahead. In 2023, we featured SMCI just before it formed a high tight flag, it later broke out and then soared nearly 1,000% within 9 months.

In early 2020, we featured TSLA in a high tight flag just before it broke out and skyrocketed 900% in just over a year. APP was breaking out of an ideal high tight flag after hours when we featured it last November just before it more than doubled within a few months.

SEZL nearly tripled within a couple months (so far) after we mentioned it in May. It, too, was breaking out of a high tight flag when we mentioned it to customers in the closing comments in the daily alert.

Mastering the high tight flag is a great way to pad your trading account. Especially during a strong market uptrend. But the first step is identifying the pattern in the first place.

The Most Common Mistakes

A lot of traders will look at a chart and see whatever they want to see. But there are some key rules in identifying the best bull flag patterns.

Its called a “high tight” flag for a reason. The stock needs to move far enough, within a certain timeframe and the form a long enough and narrow enough consolidation (this is the tight part) to qualify as a high tight flag that back-tested so well and continues to score big profits for us.

So lets dive in with a good example brought up by a student during the boot camp.
