Mark Minervini won the U.S. Investing Championship with a 334.8% return in 2021 — the largest return in the history of the competition at the time.
He also won it in 1997 with 155%, averaged 220% annually for five straight years, and only had one losing quarter along the way.
He built one of the most systematic growth trading approaches in modern markets. Here is how he did it 👇
8/ His Books
Minervini has written three books that remain widely cited in the growth trading community:
— Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard (2013) — his main methodology book, covering SEPA, the Trend Template, and VCP in detail
— Think and Trade Like a Champion (2017) — a follow-up focused on execution, risk management, and trade management
— Mindset Secrets for Winning (2019) — focused on the psychology side of trading
All three are considered required reading for serious growth traders.
Minervini's edge is not one setup or one indicator. It is the combination of a strict filter, a repeatable pattern, and the discipline to wait for both to line up.
His method still works because the underlying behavior of institutional buyers has not changed.
Deepvue includes Minervini-based scans directly in the platform — the Trend Template scans (3-month and 6-month) and the Power Play scan surface exactly the kind of setups he trades.
