Strategy writeups and trading process notes. Entry tactics, base reading, sizing rules.

Process

Reading the Weekly Report

A guided tour of the weekly report. What's different from the daily, what each section sets up, and how to use the read to plan the coming five sessions.

Process

Reading the Daily Report

A guided tour of the daily report. What each section means, what to look at first, and how to use the read to walk into the coming session with a plan.

Process

Reading the Close Report

A guided tour of the close report. What story stocks are, what the three classifications mean, and how to use the late-session read to set up the next trading day.

Process

The CMRF Score

A single number that summarizes how favorable the broader market is for taking long swing trades right now. Five things go into it; the answer comes out as one composite score and one regime color.

Process

TradingHQ

The pipeline behind the reports. A personal pre-market scanner that does the screening, scoring, and regime read every trading day — so the morning starts with a written plan instead of a blank watchlist.

Entry Tactics

Base 'n Break

The third entry in the cycle and the most familiar — a multi-week consolidation at the rising EMAs, then a breakout on volume. The setup most traders know. The trick is the base count: by the third one, the trade is over.

Entry Tactics

EMA Crossback

The first pullback to the EMAs after a wedge pop, where the EMAs flip from resistance to support. Two to three sessions, low volume, clean stop — the cleanest add inside the cycle.

Entry Tactics

Wedge Pop

The first close above both EMAs after a downtrend. The highest R/R entry in the cycle, and the one most traders skip because it doesn't yet look like a trend.

Process

The Three Primacies

Trend first. Leadership first. Regime first. Three filters that run before every entry decision — and the only reason the entries themselves work.

Strategy

The Contraction–Extension Cycle

Every leading stock moves through the same four phases. Extension, contraction, expansion, extension. The job is to find names in contraction, before the next expansion fires.
