[Pullback stock trading tips]
When it comes to stock trading, it’s possible to have hundreds of stocks forming a pullback trading setup at the same time.
So the question is:
How do you know which stocks to buy and which to avoid?
Well, the secret is to focus on stocks which have increased the most in price over the last 12 months.
Why?
Because these are stocks likely to outperform the market (and it’s been proven in theory as well according to the paper Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers by Jegadeesh and Titman).
So, how do you apply this to your trading?
1. Rank stocks according to their rate of change (ROC) over the last 50-weeks—from the highest to the lowest
2. Look for a pullback trading setup on stocks with the highest ROC value. If there isn’t, then move to the next stock (with a lower ROC value)
3. The top 5 stocks with a valid pullback trading setup are the ones to focus on
Pro Tip:
You can use a platform like Thinkorswim to help you rank the stocks, and it’s free.
Good trading isn't about how much you make.
You can make money on poor decisions and lose money on good decisions.
Instead, focus on the process.
Identify your edge, execute it relentlessly, and don't look for shortcuts.
[How to improve your trading results, fast]
Here’s the deal:
You can figure things out on your own which will cost you time and money or, simply follow what works.
You’re probably wondering:
“How do I know what works?”
Well, the key thing is to look for trading books which contain specific trading rules with backtested results.
Here are some books worth checking out:
Following the Trend: Andreas Clenow
Trading systems: Urban & Emilio
Automated stock trading: Laurens Bensdorp
Short-term trading strategies that work: Larry & Cesar
Building Reliable Trading Systems: Keith Fitschen
This way, you don’t have to re-invent the wheel and can simply tweak their trading strategy to your needs.
Most broke people can't be traders. The need to make money repels the very thing you seek.
Get a job first, then figure trading out.
[My trading journey]
Here’s my learning curve as a trader:
I started with indicators, then price action trading.
And for a few years, I thought that’s all I needed because after all, the price is king and that’s all I needed to be a profitable trader.
But that hurts my growth because I tuned everything else out (and limited myself only to price action trading).
When I realized my folly, I quickly went back to being a student of the markets.
So I asked myself:
“What are other winning traders doing to profit from the markets?”
That’s when I got exposed to trend following, systems trading, mean reversion trading, etc.
The outcome?
Today, I trade multiple trading strategies across different markets—which results in a smoother equity curve of my portfolio.
So the lesson is this:
You might be a profitable trader but, it doesn’t mean your learning curve is over because you’re always a student of the market.
Don't take losses personally because the market has nothing against you.
It doesn’t know who you are, what you do, or why you traded.
Instead, it’s an opportunity to learn what works and what don't, so you can become a better trader—and that’s how winning is done!

[This is the most important technical level one the chart]
Here are a few reasons why…
Reason #1: Losing traders hoping to get out at breakeven
Multi-year highs represent extreme optimism in the markets because most traders (and investors) are in profits.
But as you know, the price cannot go up forever. Eventually, it has to retrace or reverse altogether.
When that happens, many traders will exit their long trades.
However, not everyone will do the same. Some will continue holding, hoping the price could breakout higher to give them even more profits.
But when the market collapses even lower, they’ll regret not selling earlier as their open profits have been eroded and they are now sitting on their losses. They hope the market could re-test the highs so they can get out of their trades at breakeven.
Reason #2: Bearish traders looking to short the markets
For bearish traders, multi-year highs present an opportunity to short the market at a “high price” because they can reference the highs to set their stop loss.
So as the price approaches multi-year highs, the short interest from bearish traders will increase.
Reason #3: Momentum traders looking to buy breakouts
Momentum traders buy breakouts as the price moves above a certain level. It could be breakouts of a range, swing high, resistance, etc.
But what’s interesting is if the price breaks out of multi-year highs, it’ll attract attention from traders across different timeframes.
That’s because whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, long-term trader, etc. the multi-year highs will be something visible on your timeframe (and charts).
Now, whether you’re bullish or bearish, multi-year high is a significant level for traders.
If you’re bearish, then you can reference it to set your stop loss above the highs.
If you’re bullish, then you can look to buy the breakout and have your stops below the previous multi-year highs (anticipating that it could become previous resistance turned support).
(And vice versa for multi-year low.)
No one can consistently predict the markets, call tops and bottoms.
So just follow price. Ride winners. Cut losers.
You'll be much further ahead than trying to outsmart the market.
[The truth about support and resistance nobody tells you]
If you read most trading textbooks, they’ll tell you that the more times support and resistance are tested, the stronger they become.
But that’s not true, because the more times support and resistance are tested within a short period, the weaker they become.
Here’s why…
Support exists because there’s potential buying pressure around a certain price level.
(This buying pressure could be institutional orders, retail orders, the smart money, etc.)
So what happens when the price re-tests support multiple times?
Well, these orders start to fill up.
Eventually, when all these orders are filled up, there’s no one left to buy and that’s when support breaks.
This means the more times support and resistance is tested (especially within a short period), the weaker it becomes.
Why a short period?
Because it’s unlikely new orders will be “replenished” so quickly.
And that’s why the more times support and resistance are tested within a short period, the weaker they become.
[The hidden cost of copy trading that nobody tells you]
Copy trading is a business.
So, if you’re not being charged any upfront fee, then you’re paying more for the spread and overnight fees.
I’ll explain…
For most Forex brokers, the spread on EUR/USD is 1 pip. But on a copy trading platform, you might pay 2 to 3 pips more.
But don’t take my words for it because you can compare the spreads of a normal Forex broker with a copy trading platform and you’ll see the difference.
So, what’s the implication?
Two things.
#1: If you’re a trader being copied, then bear in mind your trading strategy won’t work as well because you’re paying more in spread (compared to a typical Forex broker).
#2: If you’re copying another trader, then it’s best to follow traders who trade infrequently so the spread doesn’t eat up a huge chunk of your profits.
Now, the spread isn’t your only cost because you still have to consider overnight fees (if you’re holding positions for longer than a day).
This fee is calculated by taking Libor + X%.
(Libor stands for inter-bank offered rate. It’s an interest rate that banks charge to other banks for borrowing the money.)
So, what is X?
Well, this is the mark up that’s determined by the copy trading platform and you’ll need to check with them for the exact amount.
The good news is, you don’t have to worry about calculating all these because the platform will likely do it for you—so do check it out before placing a trade.
Now, there are probably other fees to consider but the spread and overnight fees make up the chunk of it.
You shouldn't think about how much money you're going to make this week.
Instead, you should ask yourself:
Do I have a plan that keeps me in this business for the next 50 years?
If you do, the money will take care of itself.

[If you want a consistent income, don’t be a trader]
Here’s the deal:
Many traders get into trading because they want to generate another source of income.
That’s because they want to quit their 9 to 6 job and have the freedom to do the things you love.
Now, if that sounds like you then here’s a warning to you…
Trading is one of the worst ways to earn a regular source of income.
Why?
Because the markets are always changing!
A trading strategy that makes money this week might go into a drawdown the next.
Now, it doesn’t mean you can’t trade the strategy anymore but, it’ll take time for market conditions to revert to your favour—and it could take a few weeks or months.
This means you shouldn’t expect to make profits every single day, week or month.
You only take what the markets give, and nothing more.
Don't take losses personally because the market has nothing against you.
It doesn’t know who you are, what you do, or why you traded.
Instead, it’s an opportunity to learn what works and what don't, so you can become a better trader—and that’s how winning is done!
