Stop loss
Exits & selling
Everyone tells you to use a stop loss. Nobody tells you which one. The stop menu: a trailing stop, a measured price stop and a stop under support — and what each one has cost, measured on our own record.
Risk & sizing
Two flags from the same scanner: one paid, one died. The ATR number didn't call either one. What it tells you is how rough the ride gets and how much room the trade needs. Then the stop: why it's measured in the stock's own ATR instead of a flat 10%, and why a wider stop doesn't have to mean a bigger loss.
Exits & selling
The obvious spot for a stop is usually the exact spot the market loves to reach. Where protective exits actually belong — and how to place them around real levels instead of round numbers.
Reading charts
Price isn't random. There are a handful of levels the market keeps returning to, and once you can see them the whole chart snaps into focus. This lesson covers what support and resistance really are, how to spot the levels that actually matter, why they're zones and not thin lines, and the two ways to trade them — all on real charts.
Exits & selling
Most trading content is about what to buy. This lesson is about the harder question — how exits actually work, and how to think about them with math instead of gut feel.
