5 Simple Rules I’m Following:
- Stick to the Strategy: The hardest part of any strategy is just sticking with it, especially when trading real money.
- Never Chase Price: ONLY BUY AT SUPPORT. Never ever chase price – let price come to you. Do not overtrade. There are many opportunities out there. Avoid FOMO.
- Limit Position Size: Allocate a maximum of 10% of the portfolio per position. Enter positions with 1% – 3% buys when volatile or lower conviction of support zones.
- Buy at Support, Sell at Resistance: Avoid buying in ranges—wait for clear support or resistance. When price is in a range, volatility works against you. ONLY BUY AT SUPPORT.
- Stay Uncomfortable: Be prepared to buy when the price feels low or difficult, as this can be when the best opportunities are available.
