When to buy
Risk & sizing
You can't see every punch coming, but you can decide how many you're going to take and which ones you can block. Stop betting on being right and decide what you'll do if you're not. People don't learn from victory — they learn from defeat.
Risk & sizing
FIGS paid about 10% in eight trading days. IVA was up about 5% on its second day, then turned and never paid. At the start the two looked the same. What was yours to decide was the plan: where you're out, and what that costs.
Signals & data
By this point four numbers already exist: your R, your target, your stop and your share count. There's only one left. And Olympia doesn't hand you a single price for it — it draws a band, because a plan that needs one exact penny isn't a plan at all.
Reading charts
Every stock has a normal day. ATR tells you how big that normal day is: the high minus the low, the overnight gap counted in, averaged over fourteen days and divided by the price. It won't tell you which stock wins — it tells you how much room the trade needs.
Risk & sizing
Two charts, one number apart. Pick the winner. The ATR never picks winners — it measures how big the swings get and how much room your plan needs. A stop inside the breath gets clipped by noise, win or lose.
