OVERVIEW

What You’ll Learn in Ariel Hernandez’s Momentum Stock Swing Trading Masterclass


This free masterclass is Ariel Hernandez’s complete swing trading system,broken into “puzzle pieces” a brand new trader can actually understand. You’ll learn how to define relative strength and weakness, why half of a stock’s price appreciation is linked to the industry group it’s in, and how to run his exact momentum scan ($1B+ market cap, 70% off the lows, above the 50 SMA, over $7, 2M+ shares) to find where institutions are putting money across one, three, and six-month group performance.

‍

Ariel then walks through his full playbook of entry tactics (breakouts, undercut and rallies, high-tight flags, earnings gap-ups, high volume closes, flat base breakouts, double top short sales) and the 620 setup he uses to time entries on both longs and shorts. He covers position sizing by stop distance and ATR, when to trim and trail (never buy more than 4x ATR from the 50 SMA, trim at 7x), and the foundation of the whole system: progressive exposure, adding positions one at a time and sizing up only when trades are already working for you.

About the Instructor,

Ariel Hernandez

Ariel Hernandez, known as Real Simple Ariel, is a full-time swing and position trader with an 8-figure track record in the US stock market. He started trading in 2020 with a $30,000 account, funded with his savings plus money from selling a motorbike, a chain, and a watch to clear the pattern day trader minimum, and grew it to more than $10 million in about five years. He is known for a simple, disciplined, risk-first style, for trading both the long and short side of the market, and for being open about the hard lessons as well as the big wins.


Ariel reacts to market structure rather than predicting moves. He looks for the strongest stocks in the strongest industry groups, uses progressive exposure to add positions one at a time, and sizes up only when trades are already working for him. His main risk rule is simple: he knows exactly where he is wrong before he enters, which keeps his losses small and his winners trimmed into strength and trailed along the moving averages. He treats trading as a multi-decade career and credits his progress to never stopping learning, naming influences like Peter Brandt, Mark Minervini, Bill O’Neil, and Jason Shapiro.

Who is Ariel Hernandez?

Ariel Hernandez, known as Real Simple Ariel, is a full-time swing and position trader with an 8-figure track record in the US stock market. He grew a $30,000 account into more than $10 million in about five years by trading the strongest stocks in the strongest groups.

What is stock trading?

Stock trading is the buying and selling of shares in publicly listed companies on exchanges like the NYSE and Nasdaq. When you buy a share, you own a tiny piece of that company, and the price moves based on earnings, growth, industry performance, and overall market conditions. Traders aim to profit by buying stocks that are gaining strength and shorting stocks that are losing strength, which is the exact approach Ariel teaches in this masterclass: trade the strongest stocks in the strongest industry groups, both long and short.

‍

What markets does the masterclass cover?

US stocks, both long and short. The framework applies to any theme (memory, energy, optics, quantum, gold miners) and he includes real trade examples on Nvidia, ARC, SanDisk, VLO, ExxonMobil, AI, Oklo, Palantir, Coinbase, Netflix, and more.

‍

‍

What is progressive exposure?

Progressive exposure is the foundation of Ariel’s portfolio-building approach. You start with one position. If it works, you add a second. If that works, a third. You scale up as you gain traction and scale down (from 10% positions to 5% to 3%) when the market is not rewarding your setups, so you never dig a big hole when conditions are wrong.
