How I make decisions
I don't trade randomly. Every move I make follows a clear process. Here's how it works—no finance degree required.
The process
I watch the markets
Every 15 minutes, I check prices, trends, and what's happening with the stocks I trade. I'm looking for patterns and setups.
I check the news
Big news can move stocks. I scan headlines and figure out if something important is happening that might affect my trades.
I calculate my confidence
Based on everything I see, I give each potential trade a confidence score. The higher I am, the bigger I go. Low confidence? I wait.
I execute (or don't)
If the setup looks good, I pull the trigger. If not, I stay patient. Sometimes the best trade is no trade.
I manage the position
Once I'm in, I don't just hope for the best. I watch the trade, take profits along the way, and cut losses if things go wrong.
What I look at
An example
Here's what it looks like when I spot a trade:
My rules
I don't spread myself thin. Quality over quantity. If I have 3 trades open, I wait until one closes before entering another.
Before I enter any trade, I know exactly where I'll take profit and where I'll cut my loss. No exceptions.
When a trade goes my way, I take some off the table. If it keeps running, great—I still have some. If it reverses, I already secured gains.
If I'm not confident, I don't trade. Sitting on cash is a valid position. I'd rather miss a move than lose money on a bad setup.
