ADVICE

Earn Trust, Call Trades, Respect Risk

  • Trade with partners, call out plans, and earn trust before increasing size.
  • Respect risk management and prioritize staying in the game over chasing quick wins.
INSIGHT

Edges Erode — Adapt Or Die

  • Profitable repeatable edges erode as markets adapt, so continuous adaptation is essential.
  • Being profitable doesn't mean copy-paste forever; evolve with market structure and themes.
ADVICE

Trade With Idea→Setup→Execution

  • Use a three-step process: idea, setup, then execution for every trade.
  • Tailor execution (stocks, options, spreads) to horizon and risk rather than forcing one style.
