Start with lesson 1Hold the direction the market is already going; let winners run and cut everything else.
Buy the dip — but only in a proven uptrend, at a logical support, with defined risk.
Fast MA over slow MA — the simplest fully mechanical trend system, and a masterclass in tradeoffs.
Buy new highs out of tight bases — entering exactly where the market proves you right.
Buy what's accelerating on volume; sell it the moment acceleration dies. Fast in, fast out.
Overnight repricings — trade the continuation of strong gaps or the fill of weak ones, never both blindly.
Fade statistical extremes back to average — the anti-trend edge, valid only where mean-reverting behavior actually exists.
Multi-day holds capturing one 'swing' of the trend — the style most compatible with having a day job.
Two indicator-driven playbooks: RSI extremes with trend filters, and MACD crosses as confirmation — never as lone oracles.
