Understanding Trading Strategies

A trading strategy is your systematic approach to entering and exiting positions in financial markets. It defines when to buy, when to sell, how much to risk, and what tools you'll use to make decisions. Without a strategy, you're gambling, not trading.

Why Strategy Matters

📊Consistency - Removes emotional decisions and creates repeatable results

🎯Risk Management - Defines position sizing and stop losses before emotions kick in

📈Measurable Performance - Track and optimize what works, abandon what doesn't

⏱️

Timeframe

Seconds to months - choose based on lifestyle and personality

🔍

Analysis Type

Technical, fundamental, or sentiment - often combined

⚖️

Risk Profile

Position sizing, stop losses, and win rate targets

💡 The 90-90-90 Rule

90% of traders lose 90% of their capital in 90 days. Why? No strategy, poor risk management, and emotional trading. A solid strategy with disciplined execution places you in the winning 10%.

⚠️
No Holy Grail
No strategy wins 100% of the time. Professional traders aim for 40-60% win rates with proper risk-reward ratios. Focus on process, not individual trades.
