Summary
the team analyzed market fluctuations at open, discussing strategies to improve timing for better execution. Ernie provided refinements to the ‘big ass fly’ strategy, particularly to enhance its adaptability to sudden shifts in momentum.
A major focus was on recognizing false breakouts, with a review of trades that failed due to weak follow-through. Adjustments to the stop-loss strategy were introduced, including a dynamic stop approach that helps minimize risk while keeping trades open long enough to develop.
Sector rotation was also a key topic, as the team identified a shift of capital into defensive sectors, presenting potential trading opportunities. Ernie concluded by reinforcing the importance of maintaining discipline, particularly in avoiding revenge trades after missing a setup or being stopped out early.
