Hello Undefined,
When I first started trading, I only had $15K to trade with⦠and fast forward to today, Iâve generated more than $8,000,000 in career trading profits â and more than $1,000,000 in 2020 alone.
The thing is, it wasnât just a straight shot to profitability for me. In fact, I made a lot of common mistakes⦠and that led me to lose approximately half of my $15K account.
It wasnât [until I went back to figure out what I was doing right and wrong]( â that I discovered what was eating at my account. Itâs one common pitfall I believe traders should avoid at all costs⦠and itâs known as:
Style Drifting
Whatâs style drifting?
I believe itâs the number one factor that can ruin accounts. If you diverge from your trading objective or strategies, then you would be considered a âstyle drifterâ.
Think about it like this, mixed martial arts fighters have a specific style⦠and if they deviate from that, they may get beaten. The same goes for trading, in my opinion. Thatâs one common pitfall I fell into when I first started trading.
I basically traded whatever moved. However, I knew in order to become a better trader, I needed to [set some guidelines for myself and find an edge](.
Thatâs when I developed strategies that focused on catalysts. In other words, I looked for reasons why a stock would move. Thereafter, I created a concise trading plan and executed⦠and thatâs when I started to become profitable.
To this day, [I still follow the same approach](.
The thing is, I know the struggles of being a trader with a small account⦠and [the one thing I wish I knew when I first started was to take things slow and just focus on one trade idea a week](.
Let me show you how it works.
Case Study: My One Trade A Week Strategy
The strategy Iâm using is called [Fast 5 Trades](.
Let me show you how it works.
It all starts with an idea. Thereafter, I look for key areas where I believe itâs advantageous to buy and take profits⦠I also know where I want to stop out, in case things go against me. My goal is to generate double-digit percentage returns (or more) in 5 days or less.
Hereâs how one of those trade ideas look...

As you can see above, I had a thesis⦠and the catalyst here was the company was working on a Covid-19 vaccine at the time. On the chart, it looked strong to me. Basically, the bull flag pattern was forming and I was looking for a move higher.

I was able to lock in a quick 6.85% winner and played it safe.

When traders focus on just one trade idea (or a handful) with an edge, I believe it can help to avoid style drifting.
