16 years of stop losses, pain & grit to $ 10M multi-asset. My 17-Chapter Trader’s Guide - https://t.co/0F5tgGM49z

Shorts

“Everyone wants to win — until they realize how many losses it takes.” October has been one of the toughest months for me (and likely for some of you), especially when comparing LoD stops based sizing swing traders vs. % stops based sizing position traders. I’ve had 16 straight losses — but each one was small, contained, and the streak was fully within the expected variance range of a 30% win rate. While it can be challenging for some of us, the key to navigating this, both mentally and emotionally, lies in accepting uncertainty through predefined risk management, where every trade has a clearly defined pain threshold. Your dollar-value tolerance should never trigger emotional reactions or push you off your intended plan. By acknowledging that losses are part of the process, we enter each trade with humility — assuming we may be wrong until proven right. The market must prove and continue to prove the validity of our thesis. Start small, and let your risk grow only as your consistency and performance justify it. I always advocate using a fixed % risk relative to your latest net realized equity. Don’t increase risk just because you’ve had a few good trades — risk should only expand when it’s truly earned from realized profitable performance. Avoid the illusion that everyone wins in trading. The real objective is not just to make gains, but to preserve them. True risk management goes far beyond setting stop losses — it means being proactive enough to cut size when the market proves you wrong. In the end, the trader who manages losses best will always outlast the rest. “The best loser is the long-term winner.” - Phantom of the Pit

Video Walkthrough of My Daily Process: How I merge my Finviz screener, TradingView watchlists, and a 'Compression' screener to generate stalk & focused ideas. Here’s a quick walkthrough of how I generate my stalk/focused ideas—also shared exclusively with my X subscribers through a daily pre-market tweet condensed into a 5-minute reference. A breakdown of the process; 1. Tradingview as my based charting and watchlist management platform. It is tile next to my finviz web browser. 2. I have 13 preset screeners across both platforms , 9 in finviz (post-market to watchlist), 4 in tradingview (watchlist compression, pre-market gapper of stock & etf, watchlist RVOL sorted). Details of each screener are shared in Chapter 3 of You can also get direct Shared Screen access from 3. I copy each screened result from Finviz and paste it into its corresponding TradingView watchlist (e.g., “Hottest Stock” results go into the “Hottest Stock” watchlist). Erik Carell has built a Finviz API workaround that lets you import an entire screen directly into a TradingView watchlist. 4. Screened results aren’t usually actionable on their own, so I add an extra layer— “compression” screener within TradingView—and run it through each dedicated watchlist. This is what I refer to as a “screen within a screen.” My watchlists are color-coded to show which screener each stock came from—and to highlight when a name appears across multiple screeners (e.g.,🔴= Hottest Stock). 5. I review each name that passes the “compression” screener, evaluating them one by one on the chart to determine whether they qualify for my stalk/focused idea watchlist. The criteria I use are outlined in my “15 Hard Rules” in Chapter 6. 6. The same process is then applied at the ETF level, since TradingView separates its Stock and ETF screeners into two different sections. 7. On top of that, I manually review over 160 ETFs to track day-by-day price action/RS across industry groups (not shown in the video). The full workflow—including post-market study—takes at least 2 hours per session. The process flows as follows: Screening → Watchlist Management → Focus List Rebuild & Preparation → Qualitative Market Reading for Situational Awareness → Portfolio Stop Management (when needed). No single screener will ever capture every opportunity. To stay ahead of the market, you need unwavering dedication, discipline, and consistency. Eventually, the market rewards that effort with the strong, or trending moves. But first, you need a strategy and process that fits your lifestyle and is sustainable over the long term. I hope you all find this helpful as we navigate this challenging yet financially rewarding journey.

Chapter 5 is done, featuring a detailed write-up on Situational Awareness, along with my thought process behind going aggressively short on March 28th and heavily long on April 7th—both during peak market volatility expansion phrase. Chapter 6 will take a little while because there's alot of nuances to my trade design, % risk, and execution decision at live market, but I am trying to streamline via beginning from some non discretionary hard rule I have (some u may not even be aware)

My Daily Routine on TradingView Screeners: Discovering Daily Swing Setups Through Multiple Screening, Watchlist Management, and Tightness Screening within Watchlist. Note: This 3-minute video is played at 2x normal speed from real-time. Upon uncovering the screening feature within the 'Watchlist' on TradingView v2 screener, I would like to demonstrate how you can optimize your daily screening routine, efficiently manage your watchlist, and identify potential setups from within it. 1. I utilize a set of 12 swing trading scans to transfer results into individual watchlists, along with two daily scans specifically designed to filter setups within all my watchlist. However, most of these scans are executed on a weekly basis due to the repetitive nature of daily results. But I will showcase the utilization of all screens, including each parameters. 2. Every screen result goes into their individual watchlist. eg. 'Strong Movers >10B Mcap', 'Strong Movers <10B Mcap', 'Fundamental (CANSLIM)', 'Post Earnings Continuation Base', 'Daily Tightness'. I also have watchlist that are already established for 'IPO Base' , 'China Top 30' MCap, 'Short Float', 'Back Watchlist'. 3. After transferring all screening results to individual watchlists, I introduce two additional scan parameters: 'Watchlist Scan Price Above/Below EMA Below 5%.' These parameters aim to identify tight swing trading setups within a range of above and below 5% of the 5-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). To consolidate the filtered results from all watchlists, you will need to create a new watchlist. In the video, I label this watchlist as 'Scan Result.' This is the only watchlist that I will refresh weekly (delete and rebuild again for the start of the week). You're not obligated to adhere to my screening parameters. If you already have your own set of screens, what I'm illustrating is simply how you can optimize your time more effectively with the introduction of 'watchlist' screening. While this feature offers significant time-saving benefits for daily use, I firmly believe it remains crucial to dedicate time during the weekend to thoroughly review and analyze stocks, identifying potential industry group setups one chart at a time. I would review all the stocks in each individual watchlist on each Saturday. I hope this will be helpful in your process. If you have missed the previous discussion, please find the link below.
