I like rules, and structure, because it allows me to track outcome and repeat what works.
Twice this week I talked through a trade I’ve been developing using the NAS100 TICK. It’s nothing fancy—just a 3rd sigma event that happens 5-7 times per week. If it stands up to walk-forward analysis [the back test has a positive expectancy] then I can add it to my intra day Nasdaq repertoire.
Behind the scenes I have been completely absorbed in Exodus. Without spending a ton of time, I can work a layer of fundamental analysis into my trade qualification. The algos help define the holding period and give me a ballpark target to shoot for. These tools are fantastic for improving trade management skills.
Markets behavior is mixed and aggressive, which is reasonable given the overall nature of Q1. I will have a clearer view of our situation after I build next week’s strategy session.
