How I Trade
Easy. I trade with the trend. Buy low sell high for up trends. Sell high, buy low during down trends. I don’t care about fundamentals. Often I don’t even know what sector the stock is in. Half my trades, don’t even know the name of the company.
I look at the setup. I look for skew. If a few other variables line up. I stalk it for an entry.
Then I use options to maximize my capital. I mitigate the risk with diversification.
How to spot the trend?
Let’s take a look at this chart. Now. Let’s trade it.
I have no idea how. There are no landmarks. It could be going up, or down, maybe sideways. If I have no clue where it’s going. How do I make a plan? Where do I enter? Where is the exit?
Elliott Waves Principle
Now this one. A simple fact. If you see a 1-2 setup. 3 is next. 3 runs fast and hard. Usually between 100% to 161.8% of 1. However if price break down below 2. This trade is invalid. We have to consider an alternative.
Can you manage a trade like this?
How long does it take to learn Elliott Waves?
Months probably years to be an expert in it.
Not that is not going to do you any good eh? Years to master something before making any money.
