About this strategy

This is a rules-based swing and active trading strategy focused on high-quality entries, early risk reduction, and adaptive exits.

The strategy trades a pre-screened universe of liquid U.S. equities selected for:
Adequate liquidity and tradability
Consistent price movement and volatility
Favorable technical conditions for momentum or reversal setups

Stocks are filtered daily using trend, volatility, and momentum characteristics, ensuring trades are taken only in names that can realistically move.

Trade Selection Logic

Each candidate stock must qualify under one of two market behaviors:
Trend continuation setups, where price is expanding with strength, or
Reversal / mean-reversion setups, where price is stabilizing near key lows

Trades are armed first, not immediately executed. Entries occur only after:
A valid technical setup is detected
Price pulls back in a controlled manner
A rebound confirms the move

Real-time pricing is used to avoid chasing price or entering during unfavorable spreads.

Risk & Trade Management

Each position begins with a starter allocation, portfolio exposure is capped, and losses are managed mechanically. Once a trade moves favorably, risk is reduced quickly, often to break-even or better.

There are no fixed small profit targets. Profitable trades are allowed to run while momentum persists and are exited only when price action shows signs of failure.

Trades may be held intraday, overnight, or multiple days depending on market conditions.

Risk Disclosure
Trading stocks involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Losses can exceed expectations, and no strategy guarantees profits or prevents losses. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
