Inside My Trading Operations: Strategy, Tools, and Mindset
Trading is often portrayed as a high-stakes game of fast decisions and wild risk-taking. While there’s certainly adrenaline involved, real success in trading comes from discipline, strategy, and continuous learning. In this post, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how I run my trading operations—from the tools I use to the mindset I maintain.
1. My Trading Philosophy
Before we dive into the mechanics, it’s important to understand the philosophy behind my trading approach#ElonMuskDOGEDeparture
Risk Management First: I never risk more than 1–2% of my capital on a single trade.
Discipline Over Emotion: Emotions are the biggest enemy of good trades. I let data and logic guide my decisions.$SOL
Continuous Learning: Markets evolve, and so should I. I review my trades weekly and adapt strategies based on performance.
2. My Trading Setup
Hardware & Environment:
Dual monitors for charting and execution
Quiet workspace, minimal distractions
High-speed internet for seamless execution
Software & Platforms:
Broker: Binance for crypto, Interactive Brokers for equities
Charting: TradingView for multi-timeframe analysis
Execution: I often use trading bots (e.g., 3Commas, Pionex) for automation on repetitive strategies
3. My Strategy
I use a mix of technical analysis and algorithmic trading depending on the asset:
a. Crypto (Intraday Swing)
Tools: RSI, MACD, VWAP, Volume Profile
Timeframes: 15-min, 1-hour, daily
Risk/Reward Ratio: Minimum 2:1
Typical Trade: Buy breakout from consolidation with stop just below structure
b. Equities (Momentum Trading)
Filters: Pre-market gap scan, relative volume, news catalysts
Execution: Limit orders at key levels, trailing stop-loss to capture runners
c. Algorithmic Trading (Quant Strategies)
Python backtesting with Pandas & NumPy
Bots execute based on predefined signals (e.g., moving average crossover or volatility bands)#TradingTypes101
