Learn how to find high-quality stock setups using the PJT TAZ system. Built on trend, pullbacks, and disciplined execution.
Every trade follows a simple process: scan for the trend, wait for a clean pullback, confirm the setup, and manage risk before entering.
Is SPY trending up or down? Only trade in the direction of the dominant market structure. No exceptions.
Williams %R (3-period) must be between -75 and -100, confirming the pullback is in the scan zone before searching.
Run the PJT scan. Filter for stocks meeting structure criteria. Build a focused watchlist — not a random list.
Price must be between the 10 SMA and 30 EMA — the Trade Action Zone. That is the only place we look to enter.
Wait for the confirmation candle. One candle closing in the trend direction — then and only then do you act.
Maximum 1% account risk per trade. Stop loss defined before entry. No position without a complete plan.

The long-form written version of the PJT system: structure, pullbacks, risk management, chart examples, and execution logic for traders who want the complete framework.
I grew up in Haiti and moved to the United States in 1996. I started trading the Forex and stock markets in 2001, and trading wasn't handed to me — I had to figure it out the hard way. Years of trial, loss, and discipline eventually produced something that works: a repeatable process rooted in structure.
Patrick Joseph has been actively trading the Forex and stock markets since 2001. PJT Academy was built to simplify trading into a structured process: scan, evaluate, and execute with discipline.
"I don't want this brand to feel like noise. I want it to feel like structure, discipline, and purpose."
