Summary
the team focused on adapting execution strategies to better handle rapid intraday reversals that impacted trade outcomes. Ernie led a discussion on refining the ‘big ass fly’ strategy to accommodate wider price swings and sudden momentum shifts.
A key takeaway was improving pre-market preparation, with an emphasis on identifying risk factors early to avoid unnecessary trade failures. The team also introduced a more efficient method for scaling into positions, allowing for gradual exposure instead of full upfront commitments.
